I'm a free indepent Brish Elector--I swear-- And I'll have s'more bremwarra--anbanish dullcare!-- I know I've a trustodischarge in my vote, And my countryexpex--I shall getfipunnote!

The Russian Minister has long been connected by name and parentage with one of the nicest puddings to be found in the receipts of SOYER, or in the _carte_ of the _Trois Frères_. We must, however, protest against the Russian Diplomatist's endeavouring to combine with the practice of cookery the science of medicine, for though we always eat with pleasure NESSELRODE pudding, we cannot undertake to swallow NESSELRODE'S recent draught. * * * * * SENTIMENT FOR THE PEACE SOCIETY. The thunder of war turns the milk of human-kindness sour. Moreover, it may be said to spoil the beer of brotherly love. * * * * * ONE VIEW OF THE TURKISH QUESTION. The SUBLIME PORTE and the EMPEROR OF RUSSIA, regarded in an æsthetical point of view, present examples of the Sublime and the Ridiculous. * * * * * LITERATURE FOR THE CAMP.--There are not many books to read at the Chobham encampment; but, besides going through all the Reviews, the Camp will, doubtless, take in a great many numbers of this periodical. * * * * * [Illustration: _Officer._ "WELL, BUT LOOK HERE, OLD FELLOW; WHY NOT STOP ALL NIGHT?"] * * * * * A LIST OF INDEXES.
