The Duke of Norfolk, an ardent Roman Catholic, or supposed to be so, denounced the Liberals from the platform for attacking " that sound bulwark of civilisation, the Church of England." A gentleman who dined with the late Mr Vanderbilt, says the dinner was only comparable to one of the magical banquets describes in the Arabian Knights. Most rich people are content with a fine damask tablecloth ; but Mr Vanderbilt's cloth was a fine old lace laid over pale blue satin. All the tureens, dishes, knives, forks, and spoons were of gold or of silver gilt, and at each end of the table was a golden trophy in the style of the Renaissance, standing about five feet high, set with large moonstones, and piled with the finest fruits he had everseen. There were flowers everywhere. Instead of table napkins there were large Irish lac» handkerchiefs. No more cakes and ale ! The Minister of Justice, we are Tol(e)d, will not allow Mr Newman to ask Mr Glover to give a temperance discourse to the inmates of Mount Eden Gaol.

To tills it might be addrd that as Her Majesty's Stone Jus is a strictly tempi'i unite institution, it would .simply be. a hollow mockery to tell the inmrttes that " wine is a mocker." Tho idea of a lot of old soakers " enjoying" v eoKl wafer " spout" is too good ! — Stir.
