The Khedive, oaths nerepapers are so fond of calling

whirl of amusements in which we were lately indulging.
For a woad*, the British sky was propitious almost

But, anyhow, the deeper to be appreheeded from •

been thrown out on the mooed reading. That peril has
been wifely pissed, and • little management will steer
the vestal ode into port. One thing Is clew, that the
medority in the Upper Hones is very much divided, and
hardly knows its& what it wants:
Great disappointment has been expressed here at the
refusal of the Government to take up the Overend- '
Guareey prolamine, and the feeling will be stronger

time I write it is sae known what turn affairs may take;
but if the Lord Chief Justice persists in refusing to let
Dr. Thom conduct his case In person, sad if the latter
decline* to •nake himself reapenaibile for counsel's
fees, it is bard to see how the case
ma go on. The abstention of the Government,
II 6 pretty clear, is not a matter of principle,
but elath one of economy. We have • really
eeonconical Ministry now in odes, that, so far from
!glowing any new or extraordinary expenditure, are
busy cutting down old and ordinary outlay. It may be
questioned, however, whether it ia worth while to save
a few thousands by refusing to prosecute the °versed-
Gormley din:Perm The amount to be saved is abso-
lutely paltry rampared to the public question Involved;
although to • pleats pinion, like Dr. Thorn, the mats
of the preeseution must be burdensome, If sot ruinous.
It is now very generally believed that the betting
premonitions undertaken by the pollee at the instance of
the Government will fail of their object. The Betting
Ad was dirested against downright betting-otiose, kept
for the avowed and sole wpm* of pmbllng. Thole
establishments have been entirely abolished in London;
bet of course the people who used, to keep them have
not been abellskied, and these people will 'trey roe their
old trade when and where they can. Now, to try and
tarn against them go act which they have been de-
signedly evading for so long a time can seemly be a
ions:arid proceeding. We hear • greet deal about the
Act having been kept In abeyeace ; but there has really
beau nothing for the Aot to operate upon. Avowed

Slatterma, aud Kensington Parks are almost monopolized
by the poorer classes; and in Hyde Park, St. James's,

latterly bestowed on the general appearance of the
parks have attracted thousands to them who otherwise

At the North Woolwich gardens an exhibition has
tritely been going on whisk I venture to say is disgust
lag. It consists of the performances of two French lady
valocipediste, dressed something in the jockey style.
They bestride II sir velocipedes in the sante way as the
lady who worst to Banbury Cream upon a white horse.
The performances are, of course, very leggy, and in fact
the leggiist of ballets is nothing to it. At the same gar-
dens there is to be an exhibition equally disgusting and'
more painful—a "grand pnse baby show, open to al
Eugland," commencing on the 12th of next month, and
biotin for four days. Prises to the amount of £2OO
will be given, and the competition will be for male and
female beldam under twelve months old. An exhibition
of the kind was tried some years ago, at the Surrey
Gardens, when they had talks into the lowest depths
of eensatieneliam. It proved a dead failure, exciting
only *enter:opt said diegust. It is maroely likely to

adminion to the gardens, costs but a shilllng, the
visitors to this pace are mostly of the lower orders; but

The magazine is still nominally condocted by her, but

mental alliance. She wrote far too much, and her
productions "'erase sensationel, so full of strong emotion
