NOTES OF TUK MONTH. 



spur, upon post-horses, from London to Durham, in four-and-twenty 

 hours, is condescendingly made known to an admiring public. The 

 height to which his lordship's genius has arrived, will be seen by 

 the following paragraph. <ifjj 'to %-.. 



" QUICK TRAVELLING. Lord Londonderry is stated to have been 

 speaking one night, during the last sessions, in the House of Lords, 

 and to have been at his own door in the county of Durham (250 

 miles) on the next." Like young Rapid a character much in his 

 line the Marquis always contrives to " keep moving." It would be 

 interesting to know what cattle he " paired off."

INTERESTING ANNOUNCEMENT. In a provincial print we find the 

 following intelligence : " RYE still keeps up, though daily in danger 

 of a decline; but BARLEY remains in a most languid state!" Poor 

 Barley ! very unkind of Rye. - '>ciJ 'fio >bin. f -f 4nyo TFKJ y&-. 



ANATOMICAL DISCOVERIES AT BRIGHTON. For many years has 

 the flourishing and aristocratical town of Brighton laboured under 

 the disadvantage of possessing no heraldic arms ; and its public docu- 

 ments have exhibited a sad plebeian appearance for the lack of some 

 gentle device* The arms of Sussex had been lost. Various and in- 

 genious were the speculations of antiquaries ; but their labours, as 

 usual, proved nothing. The late Mr. Lee, with a hardihood almost 

 romantic, insisted on the adoption of the " Rose and Crown," as the 

 legitimate insignia of the county; but these, alas ! were proved to 

 belong to EAST GRINSTEAD ! 



For a long time were the hopes of the Brightonians thus cruelly 

 sported with ; till at length it was the happy lot of WILLIAM BAL- 

 COMBE LANORIDGE, ESQUIRE, LATE CLERK OP THE PEACE after 

 long and painful research, to discover and restore to his afflicted 

 townsmen the long coveted treasures. The arms are now used in the 

 public offices. But the good luck of the townsmen did not end here. 

 Fortune, as though weary of persecuting them, not only restored 

 their arms, but, as appears by the following paragraph, was yet more 

 liberal. 



" A new hell has lately been opened in Brunswick Square, under 

 the management of a well-known leg" 



Here, then, we find them making another step towards civiliza- 

 tion. The last and most essential member, towards the formation of 

 the body corporate, is, however, still wanting they lack a head ! 

 and it is said, that all the wit of the community cannot furnish one ! 



The nature of their leg can be pretty well understood. What 

 their arms are, our correspondent has not informed us ; but report 

 says, that, as though in rivalry to the splendid ROSE AND CROWN of 

 the East-Grinsteadians those of the Brightonians are, the SHIN or 



BEEF AND SADDLE-BAGS !
