BANQUET AT THE LORD WARDEN HOTEL.

Lord Palmerston was subsequently entertained at a ban"
quet given by the Mayor of Dover at the Lord Warden
Hotel.

In responding to the toast of his health,
Lord PALMEItSTON said—l beg you to accept my most

that international communication so essential to our na-

visitors to the metropolis. They would return with pre-

which it is my trust may continue as long as human peace
and happiness may endure. .

The toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers " again brought
Lord Palmerston to his feet. He returned thanks for him-
self and his colleagues. Men Who were able to do anything
were best pleased when they had a great deal to do; and
although in the past session they had not passed any laws
of great pretensions, there had been many measures o,f Cast
utility and usefulness. (Rear.) In the hope she ri.

LORD RUSSELL'S LETTER TO SECRETARY SEWARD.
(Translated into American by Manhattan.)
Sir, _Your long letter is received. It's written pretty
" slick ;"
But somehow you are getting licked, by those you say you'll
lick.
We haven't interfered to help the South—nor "vice vary ;"
We haven't noticed t‘, sirree I although you've been so
" sarcy ;"
We haven't squashed your arrogance, although it's got so
rotten,
Nor broke your sham blockade, although our people want
your cotton.
But we shan't visit much longer, so you'd better stop this
bustle

So wicked and unnat'ral. Your obedient servant,

RUSSELL.

all difficult to answer. Paymasters are undoubtedly birds
of a feather, and yet Government deprives them of the
feather. The question of a feather can't be styled a weighty
subject for a grievance; but if we were a paymaster, and
had to amalgamate with a flock of other paymasters, we
should certainly stick for the feather, especially if we had
a wife and were henpecked !

EXHIBITION NOVELTY.—A young lady at the Interna-
tional Exhibition, wishing to make an improvement on the
inquiry so generally in vogue, said to a gentleman—
" How's your poor gloves ?" Of course, he proceeded to
examine his hands with much trepidation, but was greatly
relieved to find his " mauves" were unimpeachable. This
slang is now common throughout the Exhibition, and we
think it right to warn gentlemen of nervous temperament,
as the result of this abrupt question might be too fearful to
contemplate.

A REGULAR SNEEZER."—Lord Dundreary.
BASHFUL BEAUTY.—Designing Niece (not very young
and attractive)—" What objection have you to the sea-

—" Well, my dear, there is so much flirtation. and there
are so many men looking out for attractive females, that

Captain Bond, the energetic master of the harbour, was
examining some works in progress for the improvement of
the harbour, when a capstan suddenly gave way and fell
upon his head. He sustained injuries which were evi-
dently serious, and was conveyed to his home with as
little delay as
rossible, but died on the way. Captain
Bond was the joint servant of the Lancashire and York-
shire and London and North-Western Railway Companies,
and was highly respected. He leaves a widow and six
children.

DEATHS THROUGH CRINOLINE.—When Fashion
enters the door, Common Sense flies too generally
out of the window. So of course Punch cannot
wonder that you ladies will wear crinoline, in spite
of all the danger and the nuisance of your doing
so. But some of you do sometimes heed a medical
opinion, when other warnings fail to penetrate your
brainpans ; and possibly a few of you may be deterred fromwearing crinoline by thinking of the caution Dr. Lankester
puts forth. You ladies are not given much to reedteg of
the newspapers, yet possibly the plan which Dr. Lan
keould

STOPPING THE MAIL IN IRELAND.— A corre-
spondent of the Freeman's Journal, writing from Castle-
town-delvin, Aug. 17, says :—" A few nights ago as John
Hogan, the cardriver between this and Killucan, was Pro-

cowling with the mail bags from the post-office at Kinn-
can, to the railway station, he was stopped by four wen
near Riverstown, who called on him to stand, which he
did ; they then warned him to give up driving the mail ca;
or the consequences would be serious to him• No injury'
was done to him, and it is asserted a former driver, who
resigned, and now wishes to be reinstated, is suspected of
being the prime mover in this affair. Hogan, who is a
