of Mr. Childero is quite angry with us for calling
him a middle-aged man. lie is,
he says, only thirty-eiz.
We thought he had been four years older, and readily ad-
mit that in the present House of Commons, filled as it is
with old and middle-aged notabilities, a man of thirty-six
is really youthful, lie is only thirteen years older than.
Pitt when he became Premier. Mr. Childers was returned.
for Pontefract without opposition, and made a quiet, sensible
speech, in which he said that the Government till a very
little while ago did not know whom it had for friends on the
Continent, but he hoped
"prospects
were brightening," for
" we certainly knew that between this country and Prance
the same good fading exists as heretofore."—Sptetator.

which General Garibaldi entered London, is said to have

The spokes are shattered, the sides loosened, the linings
torn and spoiled, the box nearly and the rumble quite
broken from the body. It is a wonder how it reached
Sutherland House.
