There is no news this week . Not even any noose for the brutal murderer of the Maharajah ' s Dhuleep Singh ' s gamekeeper !

The ( what scoffers call ) " monkey tricks " of Baboo Kesbut Chunder Sen , the Hindoo reformer , were recognized last week at Exeter Hall . It is understood in flippant circles that " Baboo " is a contraction of the old English word " baboon ! "

It appears that Mr . Whalley ' s friend , Murphy , the lecturer , requires a guard of police whenever he goes out . Surely this is unfair upon the ratepayers . Why does not Mr . Whalley personally protect his protegd ? If he had to do this he would soon drop the inflammable " Murphy " like a hot potatoe ! i
As We Have Hinted Above, Mr. Rutterford,...
As we have hinted above , Mr . Rutterford , the well known 'nd accomplished assassin has been reprieved by order of the i . 'u-ily Telegraph . The Government should force the wretched man to read the leading articles of that penny periodical for the rest of his days . Such a sentence would prove an excellent substitute for capital punishment—at breakfast !

M . Daru has resigned . It is reported that , on hearing the news the Emperor observed playfully ( in English—his Majesty ' s favourite language ) to his Ministers , " I dare you to do the same thing I" Only the sycophants laughed—the others contented themselves by merely smiling at Napoleon's pleasantry 1 The Paris Correspondent of the Daily Teleg ?

Oh , tell me why do thighs and legs Usurp the place of better things ? Meanwhile , the Drama humbly begs A tardy entrance at the wings . Because it pays ! Oh , tell me pray why preachers rant , Swear charity but worth | a fig , The Sunday but a day of " cant , " No man a Saint unless a prig ? Because it pays ! Oh , tell me why do statesmen pain Starve Bunkum to clerks talk b and y tiresome the yard to , chain To writers poor send a dinner press card ? Because it pays ! And why is Tomahawk so good , So ready hateful vice to fight , So pious in his serious mood , So clever , and so very Because right it ? ! pays

That It Of Is A Dispensing Great Pity Wi...
that It of is a dispensing great pity with that the unentertaining Echo , which , in intelli one gence respect in , namel short y with newspaper padding , should be continually pandering , to , the morbid tastes of the public . We should have thought that tion its well could -written have articles alone warranted , amusing notes it a decent , and exclusive circulation informa . Un- - fortunately , however , it stoops continually to the prevailing sensationalism of the hour , and the result is that it is beginning to present to its readers all the worst features of a penny Sunday paper . Taking a random number last week we find the following headings : — Arrest of the Spitalfields Murderer . The Recent Frauds on French Tradesmen . Extraordinary Abduction of a Child . The Extraordinary Death of a Cabman . An Amusing Elopement Case . Manslaughter at Kensal Green . A Betting Squabble . Elopement of an Actress . & c , & c . Now , we do not say that there is more in this than a mere commerciall commercial y effect , the thing to catch is a the mistake . eye . j but A half still penny we public think , need even not spite be its necessaril reasonable y a figure pot-house , afford public to go , and in for the a Ech good o mi tone ght . well We , trust that those who direct its destinies may , in the interests of cheap advice . and good literature , look to the evil and take our friendly
