THE AZThCS.

Prior to their departure for Italy these very in-
teresting personages are holding a series of public
receptions daily, at the Queen's Concert Rooms,
Hanover-square. The marriage of the Aztecs caused
a new sensation, and at the same time a very great
desire appeared to exist amongst a great number of
persons who delight in natural curiosities to wish
them joy before commencing their wedding tour.
To meet this wish the happy pair at once
consented to receive company, and for the last
week or so their drawing-room has been very fully
and fashionably attended. The Aztecs are unques-
tionably the greatest human curiosities ever seen,
and although the peculiarity of their conformation
would lead to the belief that sense and reason were
strangers to them, yet both receive their company
in the most affable and cordial manner, and enter-
tain them in a variety of ways. The departure of
the Aztecs is fixed for au early period, so the pre-
sent attractive receptions cannot be continued for
longer than a few days at the outset.
