Triumphct Leagua

Ladies and gentlemen of the League, is the pro-
priety and taste of this document,—which was distri-
buted to the audience of your Punch and Judy exhibi-
tion on Wednesday last, sufficiently to be admired ?
Do they not infinitely increase your reverence for the
character of your high priest, an "amiable assassin ?"
We should imagine they must. After such a fire of
squibs the Corn Law must infallibly be scouted, as un-
worthy of the philosophy of the present age; and to
enable your Council to repeat the movement, you must
hunt up the back streets and courts, and screw out of
their wretched occupants MONEY, MONEY, MONEY !
Printing playbills even cannot be done without MONEY !

will, together, contribute about £3,000 to the Income-tax.

THE GREAT WESTERN.—This fine vessel was to sail from
New York on the 16th. She may be expected here about

We understand that it is the intention. of the directors of
the Collegiate Institution to have
building during the approaching midsummer vacation, similar
to those which have for the two last years been so well at-
!ended at the Mechanics' Institution. The former building
is in every respect eminently suitable for the purpose.
BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS.— This body has at length
very prudently withdrawn the clause, which they inserted in
the Birkenhead Improvement Bill as it originally stood, and
which was intended to prohibit the corporation from sending
any members of their body to be present at the sittings of
the commissioners as representatives of the council. Mr.
Jackson's taunt that " they would soon be rid of the presence
of Mr. Parker,"
. who sits there on behalf of the corporation,
goes therefore for what it is worth.
