my expressing a wish, that you would le
whether it will be consistent with your car,

PANORAMA OF THE NlLE.—This interesting exhibi-

have not yet seen it should not omit to pay an early visit.

among the Thompsons, but,can easily believe from our experiences of the
fl
expressions made use of were not of the choicest or most
loving nature, and no doubt the dialogue was copiously
interlarded with what Boz facetiously terms " strong
adjectives." It appears, however, that John Thompson
made a wiser choice of weapons, and, after holding the
terrors of the law over their heads, induced his quarrel-
some namesakes—or relatives, whichever they may be—
to " sing small" in the following submissive terms,
which, with the names of the offending parties attached,
wound up the notice:—" Now, we do hereby admit that
we are guilty of the charge made against us, and thank
him for his leniency, and promise never to offend again in
a like manner, and authorise him to publish this submis-
sion at our expense. Mark that last clause, gentle
reader, and, if ever you are disposed to quarrel, remember
the mortifying punishment of Thomas and Ann Thompson !
In closing our notice of this interesting episode in bumble
life, we may express a wish that all bad.ternpered and
foul-mouthed brutes and viragos might be brought to the
same gratifying state of humility es these two w9potrtrii,
and society generally would be spared/much ill-feeling in
every-day life, as we should hear leaf of what is so often.
