That very shawl at the back of Mrs. Toddles, and the large parasol, or small umbrella, were presents from Mr. T. one Bow-fair day; she keeps them and wears them in respect to his memory, and will continue to do so through all the changes of fashion. Those stockings were knitted by Miss Toddles, and those velvet shoes made by Timothy Toddles, her dear husband's brother and sister; in short, she is enveloped and surrounded with gifts from top to toe. The arm-chair was a relic of her mother's, the footstool was her father's, the bottle Lightfoot's, and the glass Heavisides', and the table Toddles', her last dear Toddles; the carpet was her cousin's, and the urn her uncle's. But time, like Sarah, is toddling on; let us hope that she may meet with more civility, and that her end may be peaceful. If we are invited to the funeral, we shall look after her epitaph. *** _We beg to state, that though assured of the great respectability of our correspondent, we do not personalty vouch for the authenticity of this Memoir_.-ED.

Breaking into the Strong room in the "Jewel Tower" and Removal of the Regalia, on the night of the Fire, Oct'r. 30. 1841 London Tilt & Bogue 86 Fleet Street.] THE FIRE AT THE TOWER OF LONDON. THE SCENE IN THE JEWEL TOWER--THE ARMOURY--THE BOWYER TOWER--LADY JANE GREY'S APARTMENT--THE TROPHIES. [Illustration: _The black portion of the plan shows the part which is burnt._ A Bowyer Tower.

The former have their recollections of the visit--the latter have their regrets for its postponement. And let this be a lesson to all procrastinative sight-seers, to see things while they are to be seen; for the Great--or, as it was somewhat oddly designated--the Small Armoury, is no longer among the visibles or the visitables. Association first conducts us to the _Jewel House_, the scene of Col. Blood's and of Mr. Swifte's doings. It is curious, that after 170 years the burglary (we were near saying the treason) should be repeated; and that Blood, the crown-stealer, should have been succeeded by Swifte, the crown-keeper. The soldier was favoured by King Charles, the civilian by Queen Victoria--the merry Master pardoned, the august Mistress approved. The stealer was rewarded with a pension, the keeper's recompense is--to come.
