VARIETIES.

(From Punch.)
DINNER PLATITUDES.

No matter how plain your cook may be, so long as your
dinner is well dressed.

A few compliments go a great way. A little savoury
pate is quite enough. Try too many, and you'll find they'll
prove heavy.
When the ladies retire from the dinner-table, it is not
usual for you (supposing you to be a gentleman) to retire
with them. In this instance the same law extends to the
mistress as to the servants :—" No Followers Allowed."
In the hands of an inferior artiste, whether an omelette
turns out good or bad is quite a matter of toss up. It is
the same with a pancake.

Keep ill-natured people from your table, as you would
sour fruit. They are sure to disagree with every one.

REVENGE !—Old Lady (who wasn't over and above
liberal with the fare)—" You'll take my boxes up the gar-
den, cabman, please " Cabman—" Cert'nly, marm, if
you'll 'old my 'orse."

COUNTER-ATTRACTIONS. - For the gentlemen, they
consist of good articles, moderate prices, and pretty girls;
and for the ladies, the counter-attractions consist of
"Enormous Failures I " "Alarming Sacrifices I " "Fear-
ful Bankruptcies I" " Awful Bargains 1" and big-whiskered
shopmen, who have no right there at all, doing women's
work.

scription in the Official Catalogue of the Fine Arts Depart-
ment ; " dear me I I had no idea he was guillotined."

DINNER TO M. GALLAIT.—The dinner to M.
Louis Gallait, the eminent Belgian painter, has been post-
poned to Friday, the 18th, owing to Lori Granville, who is
to take the chair, being unable to attend on the 14th. A.
very large addition has been made to the committee, which
now includes, besides members of the Royal Academy and
other artists, several gentlemen known as distinguished
patrons of the fine arts.
THE FRENCH ST. SWITHIN.—The French, like
ourselves, have a pluvial saint. Galt:gnani says :—" The
forty rain-bringing days of St. Medard will terminate on
Friday next. On the same day the moon will enter her
last quarter, so that hopes are entertainedEvenin that fine summer

ANOTHER IRRUPTION OF THE F' Q
i
FLEET ',EWER.—
Yesterday afternoon another serious
Sewer and inundation of the outbreak of the Fleet
Railway took place, consequent works of the Metropolitan
upon the heavy storm with
which the metropolis was visited. Between four and five
o'clock, as the workmen employed at the new station erect-
ing at King's cross a
at the corner of Acton-street,
on uncompleted portion of the tunnel
-street, Bagnigge-wells-road, were
busy at their labour, they , were alarmed by a sudden rush
of water into the works. A warning cry was in-
stantly raised, and the
men made their escape in all
directions. So rapid, however, was the influx of
the water, that those at the bottom of the
works were up to their knees before they could extricate
themselves, and were obliged to leave their clothes and
tools behind them. In less than ten minutes the water was
15 feet deep, reaching up to the roadway, and displacing
and cracking the huge timber shores like matchwood. The
cellars and basements of the houses at Battle-bridge were
speedily overflowed, and the utmost alarm prevailed. Upon
I inquiry into the cause of this irruption of the water, it was
found that the storm-water pouring down from the high
land had broken through the wall of the diverting sewer at
the corner G f Caledonia-street, York-road, and, finding its
way into the channel of the old sewer, had forced an en-
tranc into the miilway works. In about an hour, the flow
of the storm-water having subsided, a body of labourers
were set to work to repair the breakage, which it is hoped
will be effected by ail early hour this morning..
THE MURDER OF MR. FITZGERALD.—ICILMAL-
LOCK, July 12.—The police arrested six or seven persona
this day in the neighbourhood of Bulgaden and the Red
Bog, on suspicion of harbouring Walsh, amongst whom are
two respectable farmers named Cooke and English. I un-
derstand four of the parties are committed (on whose infor-.
Illation I am net certain), and the other three are remanded
for further inquiry.—Cort sspondent of Cork. Examiner.
