iscuncr FOR THE MILLION.—In Consequence of
the state of the law, alowing a person to walk into the
British Museum, and smash the Portland Vase for three pounds, it is
poSsible that this sort of amusement may supersede the hitherto
aristocratic amusement of breaking windows, and wrenching on
door-knockers. A morning's lark in the National Gallery would Um
cheap at thirty pounds, if half-a-dozen were to club together Itx
the purpose, and the sum would include the privilege of running
Walking-sticks into six of the best pictures the collection
contains. We presume the law is left in this state for the pur-
pose of allowing the luxury of mischief to those who are dis-
posed to pay for it. Three pounds were all that the law demanded
for the amusement of breaking the Portland Vase, or rather for
breaking the shade, the latter being the only article charged for, awl
the vase, being, of course, thrown in gratis. it is net often that the
law is so very particular to a shade as it has been in this instance.
We should like to know where the three pounds came from that were
sent anonymously to pay the fine for the mischievous donkey who
smashed the precious article. No doubt, if the money could he
traced, it would be found to have been supplied by one of the " vulgar
rich," who would be happy to demolish the Elgin marbles at so
much a yard, or take the Museum all round upon a reduced scale of
penalties.—Punch.
