      The cabs , in spite of the new act , are still no better than they should be . They are . so extensively used by fever patients that it is almost worth the public ' while to hire them by the hour . Thus they might be used as a carriage for the first part of the journey , and as a hearse for the last 1 We would then want only a few hymns with the hearse ancl the funeral would be complete !

      Mr . Lowe , in his thirst after his neighbour ' s gold , is anxious to tax the railways . Thus after bringing starvation upon the working classes in the towns , he wishes to deprive them from seeking means of livelihood I Why doesn ' t our Chancellor of the Exchequer put a tax upon coffins ! It would increase the Revenue immensely—especially in the poor districts 1

      The Emperor of Austria has set the fashion of washing a number of old men ' s feet . Another Emperor ( not eleven hours * distance from London ) might follow out the idea by washing his own hands . It would be rather a waste of time perhapsno amount of washing would render his hands clean !

      In reply to many enquiries , we beg to state that we believe that there is no truth that the twenty-three-pound fish caught off Gravesend is a white bait recently converted by Mr . Ayrton ' s recent remarks into a psalm-ttn /

      The Exhibition of the Royal Academy is close upon us . Of course we shall have to pay a shilling for the catalogue . The constant strain upon the eyes in referring to this tedious volume is most injurious to the eyesight . The reason we have it in lieu of the labelling of the pictures is , of course , merely and purely commercial . Surely the Academy is rich enough to abolish the th catalogue e purs / — ( purse upon f ou ) r pleasure ) even at the risk of diminishing

      It Is With Sincere Pleasure That We Lear...

      It is with sincere pleasure that we learn that the Court Circular has espoused the cause of the Nawab Nazim of Bengal . Our friend , the Indian Prince , is now nearly certain of attracting the serious attention of the British Government . Already , the article published in the columns of our select contemporary has , we understand , much interested the Publisher , Office Boy , Proprietors , and other readers of the Court Circular in his Highness ' s success . This is as it should be !

      The Pall Mall Gazette is facetious at the expense of Dr . Newman and the Athanasian Creed . Our contemporary does not believe in the article of Faith in question , and considers Dr . Newman ' s " credulity" as the " most morbid monstrous growth of the human mind . " We trust that this new " line " will do the Pall Mall Gazette good . We fear , as an enlarged daily paper it is a failure—time will show how it will succeed as a Nineteenth Century Father of the Christian Church !

      Apropos Of The Convent Inspection Agitat...

      Apropos of the Convent Inspection Agitation , a letter signed Charles Langdale , that appeared in a recent number of the Times , is about the best that has yet appeared on the subject . It very fairly points out to us , as Englishmen , that the bent of Mr . Newdegate ' s motion is to place Roman Catholics in this Country in a worse position than they occupy in France , Belgium , Holland , or Prussia , —that is , in the rest of Europe . Perhaps the convent defenders do not fight their battle in the wisest fashion ; but enough has already been said on both sides to show that if the Committee be appointed , it will be in consequence of a concession to the never changing prejudice of Englishmen , as Englishmen , on all subjects connected with the Church of Rome . In strict equity the agitators have really no case , and when Society is known to be literally breaking out with the vilest abuses where legislation ought to interfere , an attack on a system which its worst enemies are bound to admit does an enormous deal of practical good , looks very much like sectarian persecution , if it is not so in fact . If it be true that there are 6 , 000 ladies in Great Britain who have taken by choice to a secluded and pious life , the fact may be very irritating to people of Mr . Newdegate ' religious cast , who believe that the interests of Christianity are served by a perpetuation of the most rancorous hatred ; still , it does not justify an agitation which , if successful must embitter the peace , and wound the feelings of eight millions of Her Majesty ' s subjects . However , if inquiry into supposed abuses be the motive , let the principle be acted upon lower down . There must be not six but sixty thousand women in England doomed by iniquitous thraldoms and devices to lives not of prayer and peace , but of infamy and misery , who would really hail the intervention of a Parliamentary inquiry . If sisters are to be protected , let the sisters of uncJiarily , who need protection most , have the benefit of it first . * - —«»¦ mmwm-m ^ f ' rm ^ r- » wi — wwr * »¦»— e '' wmww *—• "w *¦ - ¦ - ¦ •¦ vypr-rr**—r * : r—nut : * V *^ - ^ ' ^*? t !
