manners of that age. Our dear old Spec

with their innumerable signs, and des-

WOur streets are filed with Blue Bears,

the Kings majesty himself Is gong to
st. James as we pass. If he is going to
Parliament, he is IN his coach-and-eightt [,
surrounded by his guards and the high
officers OF his crown. Otherwise his
Majesty only uses a chair. with six foot
men walking before, and six yeomen OF,
the guard at the sides OF the sedan. The
officers in waiting follow the King in
coaches. II must bt rather slow work.
Our Spectator and Idttkel are full of de-
lightful glimpses Of the town life of those
days. In the company of that charming
guide we may go to the opera, the com
edy, the puppetshow, the auction, even
the cockpit; we can take boat at Tenn
pie Stairs, and accompany Sir Roger de
Coverly and Mr.. Spectator to Spring
Garden-it will be called Nauxhalla few
years since, when Hogarth will paint
for it. Would you not like to step back
into the past, and be introduced to Mr..
