LUCY NEALE has returned, after a sojourn of many months, to Ethiopia, where it is to be hoped she will pass the remainder of her days. She was accompanied by Mr. Daniel Tucker, Miss Mary Blane, a large _suite_ of buffalo gals, and other sable bores. Specie to a very large amount was carried off by Bones, and his numerous instruments. The TWELVE FLOUNCES which were conspicuous last year in the most fashionable circles, and were seen everywhere dangling after the heels of the finest ladies, have likewise left the shores of England. It has been said they have been "tucked up" comfortably in France. The WOOD PAVEMENT has broken up its numerous establishments about town, and is now nearly swept away from the surface of London. Wood has been turned out of the city as well as Middlesex, though it was thought he would have been returned at the head of the poll, so numerous were the plumpers he received from the immense bodies of the corporation. He has been dreadfully cut up lately, and has retired into private life, for no one is better qualified to shine on the domestic hearth than Wood. When he is in one of his lively sparkles, every one draws in a circle round him, and even the coldest person holds out a hand to him, and is glad to stir him up. TOM THUMB is at present in America, after having made his fortune in England, like a pastrycook, by selling kisses. He was the first to start the cheap _'busses_. He has lately been married to a dwarf. Barnum, his keeper, says the marriage must be a happy one, for there can be no doubt about wearing the breeches, since husband and wife only make up between them [Illustration: "A PAIR OF SMALLS." ] THE BRITISH DRAMA.—It has gone no one knows where. It is at present an absentee, but is expected to come before the public again shortly. Rumour says it is on a visit to Mr. Macready. It could not have a better guardian, for it is not the first time Mr. Macready has proved himself a perfect host for the British Drama. The last accounts, however, were that it was stopping at the Wells for the benefit of the waters, and that it was so far improved in health as to be able to draw a very large house. THE OLD PARLIAMENT.—It left England last July, after an unusually long residence in London of seven years. It has left behind one representative, called "Free Trade," now aged two years. According to the latest inquiries, "it was doing as well as could be expected." ETON MONTEM.—For particulars of this absentee, please inquire at the different masquerade shops. THE UNIVERSAL SMASHER. "Smash" is a word peculiarly the property of the "Fast Man." We believe it means to break, demolish, crush, annihilate. Like repudiation, it is of American origin, for we recollect there is the elegant Yankee term, "eternal smash." A "smasher," consequently, is one who smashes; and the Universal Smasher is a young gentleman whose particular vocation and amusement is to smash everything and everybody.
