Lady d. All? Lord A! Mr.. C.. most
unexpected persons both. heard only yes
terday that one of you was in Greenland
and the other in Africa. What false reports
they circulate
Lord A. The reports were true not long
ago, and believe we returned about the
same time. You, lady D. have also been
travelling, believe!
Lady d. Yes, we were out of England
in the winter. Our physician recommend
ed warmer climate for Lord D. so we took
a villa on the Niger, and afterwards spent a
short time at Sackatoo.
| Mr.. c. suppose you found it full of
English:
LadyD. Oh! quite full, and such set
We knew hardly any Of them. In fact we
| did not go there for society. We met few
pleasant people, Australians, the Avershaws
the Hardy Vauxes, and Sir William and La
dy Soames.
Mr.. C. Did you 60 by the new Tangier
and Timbuctoo road
Lady d. Yes, we did and found it ex-
cellent. BY and by, to digress to differ
ent latitude, how did you succeed in your
last excursion to the North Pole?
Lord A. To tell you the truth, extreme
ly i'll we had most improvidently taken
with us scarcely enough of the soIuent to
work our way through the ice, and our con-
centrated essence of caloric was found to
be of a very inferiour quality.
Lady d. All, then, | am afraid you did
not get it at the right place.
Lord A. But am about to build new
iron yacht and | shall try it again next sum-
mer.
Lady D. believe we shall go to Spitz-
bergen ourselves.
Lady d. Have you seen Sir James late
lly?
Lord A. He quilted US only few min
utes before we had the pleasure of finding
you here.
Lady D. l wish you would scold him for
me; sent him an invitation to dine yester-
day, and he never came.
Mr.. C. think heard him say that he
was invited for tonight.
Lady D. All, then, ] understand the
reason. The fault is not his. The fact is,
that my automaton note-writer does make
such dreadful mistakes, that l must really
have him taken to pieces. Do you know
what he did the other day sent note of
coincidence instead of congratulations and
| it was on the event of old Lord Battersea's
marriage with that little firt Miss Pipkinson
Nothing could have been more unfortunate.
l dare say / am suspected of having done it
on purpose.

Lord A. Pray have you heard the Presi-
dents speech at the opening of the Parlia-
ment at Madrid ? 1t is in spirit more ia
vourable to the Catholicks than the last.
The debates in the last session of the Span
ish Parliament on the question of granting
emancipation to the small remnant of their
Catholicks, bore remarkable resemblance
to some of those which took place in the
country on a similar question during the
reign of George the Fourth.
Mr.. c. l have heard it remarked their
speakers seem to have been all plagiarists.
But where did you see the Presidents
speech?
Lord A. In six hourly paper that was
published about two hours ago.
Mr.. C. All! you have the advantage.
My paper is a half daily one. l believe l
must leave it off. One never knows news
! till it is old.
Lord A. Very true, half daily paper
leaves one several hours in arrears. But
after all, nothing that appears in print can
deserve the name of news. The only salts
factory intelligence one receives is by let
tiers.
Mr.. c. Certainly. agree with you
and appropos las the coachmen say,) appro-
| pos of letters. received one this morning
from friend in Moscow. 1t was written
the day before yeste rday, and contains
piece of information that is not generally
known at present. My friend says, that
they had received Intelligence of an insur-
rection having broken out in Turkey.
Lady d. Turkey, where is that ?
MIR. C. 1t is one of the southern proyin-
ces of Russia. The insurrection is su ppos-
ed to have originated among the remnant of
an ancient sect called Mahometans and TO
have been secretly fomented by those sedi-
tious Jewellers, the Austrians. These rest
less mortals are like the old French Jaco-
bins, not content with revolutionizing them
selves, they wish to carry their pernicious
