What is the month of the year in which Lord Broughath
talks the least ? The answeris in " Joe Miller"—February.
In "Joe," however, the question relates to the ladies ; but
we shall make no mistake if we alter it to suit the case of as
loquacious an old woman as ever wore a petticoat. In
this short month what, then, islo happen ? In thefirst place,
we hope that in a short time there will be made a short end of
the ministry, and that Lord Melbourne and his friends will
upon short commons. One of the party, at all events, viz.,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, will stand as short in his
accounts as Lord John Russell stands short in his shoes. If,
as some people imagine, parliament will be shortly dissolved,
many whip members will find themselves short of seats ; and
if Lord Stanley's bill be carried—and we are not short of the
mark when we say it will—our friend Dan. will find himself
very short of election coin.

Sir Lytton Bulwer will attempt to make a long speech, but
will be Cut short by the short coughing of the house; and
Johnny Easthope will find it a very short corner to wheel
out of the railways. Short Toni Macauley will write a long
article for the " Edinburgh," which will be shortly after con-
signed to the forty-twa. Short Tommy Moore will finish
his edition of Little's poems, and display a very short me-
mory in his short prefaces of some not very short services, in
days when he was very short indeed.

What short M. Thiers will do we are short to conjecture ;
but we have no doubt that he would take office at the shortest
notice. Short Bob Keeley will shine in short pikes, and
.short—somebody else will cut a short figure in looking after
long ones. In short, to make short of a somewhat long
story, the shortest princes's in Christendom—not yet in her
shorts—will, by a short ceremony, receive a rare long name.
And may a certain short. yonfig lady, of whom that short
princess is daughter, find her reign long and her troubles
short, is our short and sincere prayer ; and that is the long
and the short of it.--Aryus.

LORD CARDIGAN.-It is said that Lord Cardigan, if found
guilty of manslaughter, will plead his privilege as Lord War-
wick did, the old Lord Byron, and the Duchess of Kingston,
when the two former were found guilty of killing their anta-
gonists in duels, and the duchess was convicted of bigamy.
But it is also understood, that to avoid all risk of his privi-
lege not being allowed, his lordship has conveyed away all
his property, to avoid the consequences of a forfeiture, which
takes effect as to land from the commission of the crime,
and as to personalty from the date of the commission.—
Record.
