_Entomological Society in GRUB Street._—A very animated conversation took place on the natural history of the flea, involving many curious conjectures, such as, whether it had ever been known to have attained the size of the elephant; whether it was of the same species with the hog-in-armour and the rhinoceros, or was to be classed among the _Jumpers_; how high and how often it leaped; whether it always looked before it leaped; and whether it leaped highest in Leap Year; the farther discussion of all which queries was deferred till the said Leap Year. _The Horticultural Society of Seven Dials_ has been presented, by the Society of Antiquaries, with the identical pumpkin converted by the fairy into Cinderella's chariot. _Premiums have been awarded by various learned bodies to the following_:— To Henry Broom, for the application of the crab motion, and the "do-as-little-as-possible" principle, to the state engine.—To Lord Durham, in conjunction with the above, for an improved mode of progression for the said engine, namely, by each pulling the opposite way.—To Signor Paganini, for an improved mode of extracting gold from catgut scrapings, and of skinning flints.—To Miss Harriet Martineau, for a new preventive check-string for the regulation of the fare (_fair_).— To the proprietor of Morison's Pills for the discovery of the _perpetual motion_.—To the Society for the Confusion of Useful Knowledge, for their successful endeavours in be-_Knight_-ing the public intellect.
