      As one reads the manifestoes of certain would-be members of the next Parliament , in which they woo again the old love that they have somewhat sprighted during the last session , one cannot help thinking of the resemblance they bear to a husband who has offended his faithful helpmeet , and seeks to propitiate her with a-dress .

      We have received a letter from Mr . Hepworth Dixon , assuring us that the remarks which appeared in our pages a few weeks back about his proposed candidature for Marylebone were not only unfair , but mischievous . He denies that he has ever had " the benefit of personal relations with the body of

Hepworth Dixon requires no certificate at bur hands to establish his reputation

      A certain gentleman who styles himself the great Mexican Tragedian boasts that he has received the highest testimonials from Senor Benito Juarez , the President of Mexico .

      regenerator of Mexico only related to the character of Richard III ., he was expressing an opinion on what he really , understood . We can imagine that Juarez could sympathise with that enormous villain , though he might not be able fully to comprehend the delicate touches of dramatic art that

      Shakespeare has shown in this character , any more than the ranting " robustious periwig-pated fellow" who attempts to represent Richard at the St . James ' s .
