cities, and it Lad answered so remarkably well that hydro,
phobia VV44 not onit prevented, but a great activity was com-
municatei to the rittlitono market, 4 ftirt4or improve-

:neat u4lit also be made by the addition of a slice of horse
flesh, as an inducement to the dogs to patronise the brim-
Stone relish, the expense of which could be defrayed out of
the surplus of the public money announced in the recent
budget, for no Chancellor of the Exchequer she was as-
sured, would oppose an appropriation so benevolent and
patriotic.
Ater chatting away on other matters, the old lady said
:he 1: al another project equally practicable, for 19wering
the price of fish. Grand Duke of Florence, while she
was in that city, finding that the fishermen would not lower
their exorbitant prices, ordered that the fish-market should
he open only so lung as the fishermen in winter could stand
with one leg in a pail of cold water, and in - summer with
both in scalding hot. Now the fishermen, rather than
have their legs frozen in winter, and boiled in summer, sold
their fish as rapidly as possible, and at reasonable prices.
Now, were a plan of this sort adopted at Billingsgate, it
•voul.l have, she %vas convinced, a surprising effect on the
price of mackerel.

Mr. Dyra having observed that he was of opinion all
projects for the public good deserved encoaragement, the
old lady made a profound curtsey, and left the office. At
the door her Ladyship handed about a printed prospectus,
announcing that a descendant of the great Chancellor Hyde,
now in his 80th year, was about to publish by subscription
a dramatic novel, and also a selection of music, composed
for her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria, and his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, together with an au-
thentic illustration of the most eminent personages who have
cultivated the magnificent mysteries of melody ; accompa-
nied by a faithful portrait of the great Pemitowshiwowshky,
last King of the Poles. The prospectus concludes with
this sublime supplication :
" Eternal Father of Merit ! If amongst thy numerous
gifts in store for me, thou wilt plentifully pour out the boon
of inspiration from the Muses' fund—
" Hear me ! Let it be the oak-cleaving thunderbolt and
red %%Ailed lightning, and not the timid ray of tender twi-
light that glimmers and-glooms, and then dies away into
destruction! "
