TO THE COURTEOUS READER.

Will you obligingly cast your eye over the " Cut and,
Fashion." If on reference, any measure appears faulty, be'
so kind as to suggest an improvement. I need scarcely
remind you how the old tattered garment was lately held
up, by unnatural sons at Wakefield and Gloucester, to the
contempt of Europe and .our national dishonsur.
Cannot the combined talent, wisdom, and, industry of
England produce a respectable and fitting garment for our
venerable and venerated parent, so that he may go forth
creditably among his equals, suitably attired bilis undis-
puted and acknowledged character as one of the groat
powers of Europe.
It is not becoming that such an one should go abroad in
tattered garments.

N.B.—The New Coat contains New Pockets; and as
every Englishman, and every Welshman also, will have
hereby the care of his own purse, it may fairly be presumed
that those shameless thieves at Elections—Bribery, Corrup-
tion, and Drunkenness—will either be compelled to become
honest and industrious, or will be necessitated to endure
the still harder alternative of being starved to death.
Wishing you the compliments of the season, I am, dear
reader, your affectionate brother,

MR. DISTIN'S RETIRING CONCERT.—A gran d
concert is announced to take place at Exeter Hall on Wed •
nesday next, at which Mr. Distin, sen., the celebrated sax-
horn player, will perform for the last time in public. Age
and infirmity compel the veteran artiste to take this step,
therefore, it is to be hoped that there will be "a bumper at
parting." The concert is under the patronage of a long
list of noblemen and gentlemen, and the musical profession
generally has volunteered to contribute to the utmost of
their ability. Under such circumstances one of the most
attractive concerts that has taken place may be fairly anti-
cipated.

M. Emile Pereirc gave a grand dinner on Friday
in honour of Mr. Cobden, to which: the eminent French
political economists, such as MM. Michel Chevalier, Bisio,
Pr&iv, &c., were invited.
The contributions for the Schiller monument at
Berlin have mounted to the sum of 30,000 thalers, of wl_i h
the Prince Regent gave 10,000, and the town of Berlin
10,000.

The Royal Society's collection of portraits has,
within the last few days, received the addition of a likeness
of the Earl of Rosso, late president of the society. It is
painted by CLtterson Smith, Esq., of Dublin.
