looks all the better for the scrubbing or whitewashing it
has undergone, and the statues and monuments erected
to those heroes who have distinguished themselves in
their country's cause by land and sea are seen to more
advantage now that they are divested of the thick coat of
dust that had been allowed to accumulate.

A laughable scene took place at Liverpool on
Thursday evening at the Liverpool Theatre. Mr. John
Parry was singing "The Polka explained," in which
he introduces, among the sights and doings in London,

upper notes of the pianoforte ; just at this point a tiny
voice was heard in one of the private boxes, crying,
" Bravo 1 bravo 1" All eyes were turned towards the
spot,'when the redoubtable General, in propria persona,
was seen clapping his petit hands with all his might.
