The following facetious advertisement is among the oddities of the week :— lf G%orge Wicks, who went to meet a lady at the Ludgate-hill Station, Barnsley, the Crystal Palace, and the top of the Monument, will come to Trafalgar aquare, on Saturday, when tho lions are being fed, he will meet his— Valentine. On Saturday forenoon, March 7th, shortly before 12 o'clock, the house formerly occupied by Professor Holloway, in the Strand, near Temple-bar, fell with a crash. During the morning it had been noticed that the house in question, one of a row in course of demolition to make way for the new la*v courts, had become cracked across the centre, and threatened to fall every instant. The traffic in the Strand was forthwith stopped by the police, all carriages and other vehicles coming from the eastward being obliged to go up Chancery lane.
