400 NOTES AND EVENTS OF THE MONTH. 



pound fracture far severer than the last. The simple-minded com- 

 plainant, strong in his faith of legal protection, grinned grimly a 

 defying smile ; but the head clerk checked his complacency, with 

 the assurance that he had better be on the look out ; for that when 

 released, there was no manner of doubt she would carry her threat 

 into execution and this was all the redress the landlord obtained. 

 It is worth knowing the law upon this point, because many a man, 

 in a fit of the spleen, would not object to a month's confinement for 

 the spiteful pleasure of cracking three guineas' worth of flint glass, 

 and of throwing out a good threat besides, under the impunity of a 

 police magistrate's presence. 







THE KALISCH ORANGERY. A rejected Trifle from Cumberland to 

 Kalisch took occasion the other day, to complain of certain at- 

 tacks, which shameful men had made upon his illustrious character. 

 Alas ! the world's vituperation is the constant attendant upon great- 

 ness ; the price is bitter, but it must be paid. One consolation is 

 however left him. Whatsoever be the grounds which " party ran- 

 cour" may select for outraging his conservative Fumship upon, there 

 is one, at least, which malice has not been able to take, and that is 

 his indefatigable and unceasing attention to the business of sove- 

 reignty. On this point he is unassailable by friend or foe. No 

 sooner were his arduous duties finished in parliament, than away he 

 posts with praiseworthy alacrity, and with unimpaired energies, to 

 meet, at Kalisch, his brother-imperialists, in order to settle Europe's, 

 the world's, and their own affairs, according to the most legitimate 

 fashion their quadruple sagacity may devise. Such conduct is right 

 loyal (as a subject of King William IV.), conscientious, and becoming. 

 The British people allow to the "grand master" a tolerably princely 

 income, which, scorning to receive without attempting some service 

 in return (as a " valuable consideration" for his money), and reckless 

 of all personal indulgence on his own account, he leaves the lords to the 

 shooting of grouse, on Scotch hills ; the commons to rusticate with 

 swinish radicals in the provinces; the ministers to such inglorious re- 

 pose as they can procure ; the lady regent and her daughter to at- 

 tend music-festivals and horse-races ; the court to amuse itself with 

 the sports of little boys, at Sandhurst ; and hurries off to the conti- 

 nent, there to take in charge the destinies of nations generally, and 

 the weal of orange-lodges in particular. Really the people, the 

 heir-presumptive, and his majesty, ought to be very much obliged to 

 the imperial grand master of gray hairs and whiskers, for these exer- 

 tions ; for it must be remembered that, in making them, he has no 

 other warrant than his own pleasure. 



LOVE IN A CHEST. One of the strangest examinations ever heard 

 of, took place at the town clerk's office, at Lincoln, the other day. 

 Benjamin Curtis is a servant of Mr. Heanley, of Branston Fen, and 

 had formerly been fellow-servant with a young female, who, it 

 seems, had become strongly attached to him. During the last week,
