EVERYBODY A Weekly Budget. No. 1.
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
no inconsiderable mead 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 :
" Temple-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
he 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
upon the occasion of royal visits to the City, and it is
only when the herald sounds a trumpet that the proces-
sion is allowed to pass, when it goes, like the trumpet,
two•to-two too. Ttie Temple is so called from the Knights
Templars, but they have lung since been superseded hythe
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 St. 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 robbin' 1 On the right by the pillars is the entrance
to Clement's Inn. Beneath these pillars those who
cater for the appetites of al fresco diner's-
out generally take up their stand, so that from
these cater-pillars many obtain what they call, curiously
enough, their " grub." Essex-street, on the opposite
side, owes its name to the Earl of Essex, and to perpe-
tuate this circumstance there has 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," from the dramatic jeu d'esprits
enacted therein, we may draw_ the attention of the
stranger, to Strand•lane, where there is a celebrated
Romln 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 his
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 delightfullypreposterous
liber-
ties with the dignity of Comas. 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
comic annalist of Rome, is just now writing a tra-
vestye of " Tacitus".

THE FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE IN LOVE•LANE.---
Mr. Woodthorpe, the City surveyor, and several other gen-
tlemen, procee6led to the ruins last evening, in order to find
out in v hat part of the building the disaster commenced. The
result of their examination left no doubt that the flames
commenced in the ground floor, and rapidly communicated
with the upper portion of the building. The cause of the
outbreak, however, is as much as ever enveloped in obscurity.
The inquest on the four sufferers will be hen to-night (Tues-
day), but from the inquiries made by the ward beadle it is
doubtful whether any one will be able to throw out the least
information as to the origin of the fearful catastrophe. Upon
making inquiries at Guy's Hospital it was ascertained that
the poor gi,l who was so frightfully cut and injured
by
jumping out of a window, was going on far more favourably
than was at one time expected. She, however, suffers most
acutely, but nothing fatal is apprehended by
the house
surgeon.

was the next witness called. She said, my husband
worked at the building from the first, and he is one that
is killed. I always took his din nor every day. He did
not say anything to me about the insecurity of the
building. [This witness was asked stveral times
whether she had not remarked to her husband that
the place where he sat was not a safe
place 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 be knew there would be an acci-
dent before long, but sho 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 livr that he saw cracks in the wall, and he
knew there would be a grand smash before long.
Michael O'Connor was the next witness—He said he
was on a ladder near the iron girder when it gave way.
He saw it snap in half, and fall down with great violence.
(The inquest was proceeding when our report left.)

--------
RAMBLES in the CRYSTAL PALACE.
(THIS DAY.)
The receipts of yesterday, though not so great on
the whole as on former days, show but slight decrease_
in the visitors. The sale of season tickets falls off
slightly, as may be anticipated henceforward each day.
Yesterday it amounted to 4851., which, with 2,3451.
taken at the doere, made up the total receipts to 2,8831.
The uncertain state of the weather keeps many swaY'
and no doubt induces many country visitors to defer
starting for town until it becomes more settled. It IS
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-
meats for the prevention of crowding are being Pat 211
force in different parts of the building. The crow
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
systemhas 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 arbitrary
interierence. 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:—
"Arrangements having been made for a visit on the
t
part of many members of the University to the Great
Eahibition on Saturday next, the 24th inst.; and
having been thought desirable that opportunities should
be afforded to those oho may wish to connect with such
a visit some general information on a few of the many
the
following suggested by the contents of the Exhibition, '
fellewing lectures will be given at the hours and pia°.
specified:—
" On Tuesday, the 20th instant, at three o'clock, in
the theatre under the Ashmoleen Museum, a lecture
ill be given by Mr. Maskelyne, Deputy
Mineralogy, On the various ores of the preciotlf
metals, with the modes of extracting them practised
by different nations, and the various methods of fashion*
ieg them into works of use or art.' Reader in
" On Thursday, at the same hour, in the lecture-room
contiguous to the Botanic Garden, Dr. Daubeny, Fr°.
fesor of Chemistry, will give a lecture On the rip'
ciples of the manufacture of glass and pottery.'
" On Friday, at two o'clock, at the Geological Ma"
scum in the Clarendon, Mr. Strickland, Deputy Reader
in Geology, will deliver a lecture ' On the coal fields
and iron manufactures of different countries.'
" These lectures will be open to all members of the
University and to friends acconeranying 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 us yet have been little visited, on account
of their incomplete state. The southern galleries of the
foreign depot iment 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 I
moot taetertil and elegant manner; the many-coloured
cambrics, and the beautiful ribitnds
and laces, bring in"
termingled with the most successful effect. Lower dowa
are the Austrien velvets and embroideries, which present
a most superb appearance, and furnish a most admirable
contrast to the lighter productions hard by. The rear
of the 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 et the
unfinished eppearance 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'
greasing rapidly, and our East Indian contributions are
almost in a state of completion.
