The _Wolverhampton Chronicle_ contains the following paragraph, highly important to ladies:-- "THE WOMAN'S WALK.--MRS. DUNN'S pedestrian feat--walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours--at Noah's Ark, Hartshill, continues to attract much attention, great numbers of people visiting her. She has accomplished about four-sixths of the task, and is very confident of success." It has been said with no less truth than vulgarity, that the walking of womankind is all WALKER. Too generally, indeed, it resembles a mode of progression adopted by the insect tribes, except in being performed with two legs instead of several, or without any at all. All praise to the exception to this rule presented by MRS. DUNN. We have not the pleasure of being acquainted with either that lady or MR.

There is nothing to prevent you but the censure of the lowest vulgar--the mob that does not think for itself: a mob composed of quite as many well dressed persons as ragamuffins. Unfortunately, however, this populace may be able to injure as well as hoot you; and that power it will exercise if you do not conform to its idiotisms; one of which is, the addition of upholstery to ashes, and drapery to dust. It would therefore be a great boon to you--being a wise man, and likewise an executor or a legatee charged with an interment--if your expenditure were subject to be regulated by the subjoined ordinance:-- "In conveying dead bodies to the burial-ground every kind of pomp and publicity shall be avoided." They manage these matters better in Spain, you will say: for this is one of the articles of a Royal decree that has been issued at Madrid. But it is also ordained in the same decree, that "No church, chapel, nor any other sign of a temple or of public or private worship will be allowed to be built in the aforesaid cemetery." Now, the aforesaid cemetery is the Protestant cemetery. And it is further declared that
