EVERYBODY A Weekly Budget. No. I.
A comical little rival to our London Charivari, ap•
pears in a guise the most " motley" ever assumed by
tester, that of—Everybody. In the initial number before
us are several capital auguries of drollery, such as, if
only partially realized, will secure to the conductors
DO inconsiderable meed of popularity. As a rather
amusing specimen of the humour with which the
writers contrive to dilate upon even the most hack-
neyed themes, take the following excerpt from
Everybody's Guide through London :
"Tempe-bar is the western boundary of the City,
and was built from Wren's design, in 1670, and as the
heads of traitors used to be exhibited here, it may be
said that the execution was quite equal to the design.
The interior is leased from the City by Messrs. Child
the Bankers, who as they are the oldest in London, must
be considered tolerably old boys: the eldest partner is
quite the Child of circumstances. Here are de-
posited all their ledgers and cash-books, so that
they could give some very excellent accounts of
themselves. To show the power of the Lord Mayor the
ponderous gates of this civic barrier are always shut
up,n the occasion cf royal visits to the City, and it 15
only when the herald sounds a trumpet that the proces-
sion is allowed to piss, when it goes, Ike the trumpet,
two•to-two too. Tim Temple is so called from the Knight'
Tempters, but they have lung since been superseded bytbe
Lawyers,who having here taken up their abode, supply from
their chambers some expensive information for the
people,. Entering the Strand we have before us the
church of Sr. Clement Danes, rebuilt in 1682, by
William Pierce, who received the design from Wren, so
that Mr. Pierce himself may be thought to have been a
little rubbin' I On the right by the pillars is the entrance
to Clement's Inn. Beneath these pillars those who
eater tor the app,tites of al fresco diner's-
out generally take up their stand, so that from
these cuter-pillars many obtain what they call, curiously
enough, their " grub." Essex-street, on the opposite
side, ow( s its name to the Earl of Essex, and to perpe-
tuate this circumstance there bas been a pier at the end
of the street ever since. Holy well-street is thickly in-
habited by newsvenders and old clothesmen, and both may
be consequently regarded as " gentlemen connected with
the Press." Passing the Strand Theatre, now called
" Punch's Playhouse," lrom the dramatic jets d'esprits
enacted therein, we may draw the attention of the
stranger, to Strand•lane, where there is a celebrated
Roman Bath. It was to this bath that the Romans
were told to go by the rebellious Britons when they were
tired of seeing them any longer, and the origin of a
popular saying is thus made manifest."
Calder Campbell the Major had better look to bis
reputation,
for in a " Madrigal for May,, by a sort
of Calder Campbell the Minor, we have promise of
some rare examples of pastoral poetry. " The Green-
horn in London," being a burlesque for the breakfast
table, takes the most delightfully preposterous liber-
ties with the dignity of Comus. While the " Comic
Encyclopedia" is commenced in a style such as if
properly carried out may rival some of the earliest
effusions of that very sedate magistrate who, as the
comicic annalist of
"Rome, is just now writing a tra-
of " itus.

THE LIVERPOOL STATION or TUB LONDON AND
NORTn-WESTERN RamwaY.--Owing to the increase of
traffi .1 at the new goods st.tion of the London and North-
Western Railway, opposite the Victoria and Trafalgar Docks,
the sheds have been extended over the whole area of the
station towards Waterloo-road, and by this extension nearly
double the amount of covered room, where goods may be
deposited and secured from the weather, is made available.
As a goods station, the Victoria station is now the most ex-
tensive and best arranged in the kingdom.—Livcryoo1 Albion
REUNION DES ARTS.--The above society gave its
third soirée last night, at the private rooms, 'l7, Queen Anne-
street, under the most distinguished patronae.e, to a select
and elegant company. The exquisite performance of the
most excellent vocal and instrumental music, by Miss La-
vinia, Miss Magner, Mr. Kiulemaik, Mr. Day, Mr. Witt,
Mr. Goodhan, Herr Schmidt, Herr Gollmick, and Herr
Goffrie, drew great applause from the crowded audience. In
the lower apartments, appropriated to pictures, promenade,
and refreshment, we noticed two medallions, half-size por-
traits of Mr. and Mdme. Goffrie, cleverly executed in
plaister by Mr. Henry Saunders (native of Poland). which
were greatly admired. The good combination of music with
fine arts cannot but bid well to the success of this society.
The admirable even.ag, which was prolonged to a late hour,
passed off to the great delight of the whole company.

The New York intelligence this week is calculated
to

augmentation of our t•upply of bullion. It was be-
aeve
lieved that the to al shipments during the week, including
the sum to be taken by the Pacific On the 10th of May, would
reach .5`,0001., of which the principal portioa would be for
England. This, however, would be considerably less than
the sum received d ring. the Sallie period from 'California,
and muney. consequently, continued abundant, without any
anxiety as to the supply for the future.

worked 4t the budding from h,. first, and he is one that
is killed. I al.ays took his dinner every day. He did
not say any thing to me about the insecurity of the
building. [This witness was asked st,veral times
whether she had nut remarked to her husband that
the place where he sat was not a safe
&flee to have his dinner, and he replied " No, there will
be a grand smash here before long."] She hesitated
answering for some time, but at length admitted that
her husband had said he knew there would be an acci-
dent before long, but she denied saying he saw cracks
in the walls.
A female friend of the last witness then stated that
Mrs. Harrigan had told her that her husband bad re-
marked to her that be saw cracks in the wall, and be
knew there would be a grand smash before long.

3 RAMBLES in the CRYSTAL PALACE.
(THIS DAY.)
The receipts of yesterday, though not so great en
the whole as on former days, show but slight decrees;
in the visitors. The sale of season tickets falls 2 slightly, as may be anticipated henceforward each day;
3 Yesterday it amounted to 4881., which, with 2,3452;
taken at the doors, made up the total receipts to 2,8831.
The uncertain state of the weather keeps many 001'
and no doubt induces many country visitors to defer
starting for town until it becomes more settled. It 15
calculated that 30,000 persons were in the building
yesterday, and we believe that to-day they will be found
to have been equally numerous. The new arrange'ments for the prevention of crowding are being Put 11
force in differtnt parts of the building. The crowd
of visitors is kept in a regular and constant current flow"
ing in one direction, and no deviations against its course
. are allowed by the attendant policemen. The system
has not come sufficiently into operation for us to judge
of its fitness, but we hope that there will be no occasion
to carry it out so far as to bear the aspect of arbitrall
interference. The idea of turning the Exhibition to use
for educational purposes developes itself more favourably:
The University of Oxford has taken it up, and issued
[ the following announcement:-
2 "Arrangements having been made for a visit on the
part of many members of the University to the Great
Exhibition on Saturday next, the 24th inst.; and ij
1 t
having been thought desirable that opportunities should
be afforded to those who may wish to connect with such
2
a visit some general information on a few of the man/
subjects suggested by the contents of the Exhibition, the
3 following lectures will be given at the hours and place°
specified:—
" On Tuesday, the 20th instant, at three o'clock, in
the theatre under the Ashmolean Museum, a lecture
ill be given by Mr. Maskelyne, Deputy Reader. 1°
Mineralogy, On the various ores of the precral
metals, with the modes of extracting them practised
by different nations, and the various methods of fashion'
ing them into works of use or art.'
" On Thursday, at the same hour, in the lecture-roots
contiguous to the Botanic Garden, Dr. Daubeny,
fesor of Chemistry, will give a lecture On the prin-
ciples of the manufacture of glass and pottery.'
" On Friday, at two o'clock, at the Geological Mu.
scum in the Clarendon, Mr. Strickland, Deputy Rader
in Geology, will deliver a lecture ' On the coal fields
and iron manufactures of different countries.'
" These lectures will he open to all members of the
University and to fiends accompanying them."
We hope to see it acted upon more extensively. Great
progress has been made, within the last few days, to-
wards opening those portions of the ground-floor and
galleries which as jet have been little visited, on account
of their incomplete state. The southern galleries of the
foreign department advance rapidly. A great portion
of those are filled by France; the Lyons manufactures
occupy the front rank, and, as far as yet displayed,
excite great admiration. The stands are arranged in 0
most tasteful and elegant manner; the many-coloured
cambrics, and the beautiful ribands and laces, being in-
termingled with the most successful effect. Lower down
are the Austrian velvets and embroideries, which present
a most superb appearance, and furnish a most admirable
contrast to the lighter productions hard by. The rest'
of tlei ground floor is also getting pretty clear, and the
magnificent treasures in silver and gold work which are
each day unfolding themselves in the French depart'
ment have excited great admiration, and contributed to
allay the slight discontent which was at first felt at the
unfinished appearance of this region at the first opening
of the building. The French fountain, which has been
erecting for some time, is nearly completed, and will to
all appearances form one of the wonders of the eastern
end. Russia is almost entirely empty yet, her goods, as
we understand, not having yet arrived. Persia is pro-
gressing rapidly, and our East Indian contributions are
almost in a state of completion.
