It is seriously contemplated to attempt the removal of the ancient "Hot Codlings" stand from the west-end of Temple Bar. The old woman who at present occupies the premises is resolved to resist to the utmost so unjust an aggression. The Corporation of the City of London have, in the most liberal manner, given a plot of ground, eighteen by thirteen and a half-inches, for the erection of a pickled whilks and pennywinkle establishment, at the corner of Newgate-street and the Old Bailey. This will be a valuable boon to the Blue-coat boys, and will tend to cause a brisk influx of loose coppers to this hitherto much-neglected spot. The disgraceful state of the gutter-grating in Little Distaff-lane has, at length, awakened the attention of the parish authorities. For several days past it has been choked by an accumulation of rubbish, but we are now enabled, on good authority, to state that the parish-beadle has been directed to poke it with his staff, which it is hoped will have the effect of removing the obstruction. The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have ordered plans and estimates to be laid before them for the erection of a duck-house on the island of the pond in St. James's Park. It has been decided that the exhibition of fancy paper on the boards of the enclosure of Trafalgar-square is to continue open to the public till further notice.

For "Lord John Russell said that he had strenuously endeavoured to keep _pace_ with the march of Reform," read "keep _place_ with the march of Reform." For "though Sir Robert Peel is the ostensible _head_, the Duke of Wellington holds the _reins_ of the present administration," read "the Duke of Wellington holds the _brains_ of the present administration." For "Colonel Sibthorp said he despised the man who suffered himself be made the _tool_ of a party," read "the _fool_ of a party." * * * * * THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE LONDON MEDICAL STUDENT [Illustration: O]Our lively neighbours on the opposite side of the _Pas de Calais_ (as they are pleased, in a spirit of patriotic appropriation, to translate the Straits of Dovor), have lately shot off a flight of small literary rockets about Paris, which have exploded joyously in every direction, producing all sorts of fun and merriment, termed _Les Physiologies_--a series of graphic sketches, embodying various every-day types of characters moving in the French capital. In the same spirit we beg to bring forward the following papers, with the hope that they will meet with an equally favourable reception. 1. THE INTRODUCTORY DISCOURSE.
