myself not only the melancholy accident to whit* you

amusement which unhappily has become popular, not
only in the Metropolis, but in all parts of her MaPrity's
home dominions.
"It is only a short time since, and du my mayor-
alty, that it was proposed to exhibit a similar parkwin-

empowered by law to interfere, I ventured Do far to
interpose my authority as to prevent it.
"in this unfortunate instance my name amend in
