      So we are going to build more iron clads ! Surely , Mr . Childers doesn ' t mean to destroy John Bull with the shirt of Sheer-nessus .

      Lord Mayo , as a move against Russian influence , has paid the Monarch of the Affghans ^ 120 , 000 . This is a pretty good sum to dispose of for the services of A-meer Ally !

      A large class of Englishmen have hitherto treated the " Alabama Claims " as a joke . They ought to feel specially re-assured now , that the United States Ambassador is about to present himself in Motley .

      Mr . Lowe ' s additional tax upon those who care to display their arms is wise and politic . What a pity , though , he did not extend the impost to other extremities . In these days of burlesque the national debt might be paid off in no time .

      The Bishop Of Cork Seems To Be Of A Ligh...

      The Bishop of Cork seems to be of a light and airy temperament . Perhaps a little too light . He is reported to have used language about Mr . Gladstone ' s Bill which savoured more of the fishmarket than the pulpit .

      People who rail about the immorality of the French stage should have gone to see Won by a Head , which , though by Mr . Tom Taylor was , strange to say , not a foreign production .

      vative , a " firm supporter of Protestant ascendancy in Ireland . " He is also an Irishman , which explains his peculiar method of supporting his principles . We suppose that he goes upon the principle which governed his countryman , who insisted on firing at his own comrades in a battle—viz ., " that it must be

      more pleasant to be killed by your friends than your enemies . " We certainly prefer to look upon the gallant Captain as an arch wag rather than an arch traitor .
