THE STREETS OF LONPON.—MOst of the London
shops and ware-rooms at this moment are shining forth with
such increased splendour asl'lTsrently tcp have become to
our foreign and provincial visitors a succession of minor ex-
positions of industry, having the advantage of being more
easy of access than their great prototype in Hyde-park.
The windows of the extensive range of show-rooms at the
establishment of Messrs. 11. J. and 1). Nicoll, the well-known
clothiers and paletot patentees, in Regent-street, exhibit se-
veral brilliantly illuminated transparent decorations, per-
fect gems of art, from the pencil of C. Steadman, their subject
illustrative of the much admired periods when those beau-
tifully picturesque styles of costume prevailed in Europe,
and which forms so decided a contrast to the inelegant and
rigid outline of the attire we have since adopted. This ex-
hibition is the chief point of attraction every evening to in-
numerable spectators; and it may here be observed that the
retirement of a member of the above firm has received the
most unqualified contradiction, and it would certainly appear
from the above arrangements that increased efforts have
been made for the general extension of this establishment.
—Morning Post.
A MODEL HUSBAND.—The other day a person in
Montrose gave an exhibition of his domestic virtues in rather
a peculiar way. Some part of his dinner was not cooked
according to his taste; and, in order to avenge his fancied
wrongs he cleared the table of the di.hes, and with an axe
commenced to destroy it. The olice were called in, but
unfortunately they could not interfere, as he was not com-
mitting any breach of the peace, but merely amusing himself
by destroying his own furniture.—Edinburgh Courant.
