chbishop of Cantabery is not turned Quaker,
as some people stated. Quakers may not marry, nor sit in the Chamber of
Peers. The minor bishops have seats in the House of Commons, where they
are attacked by the bitter pleasantries of Lord Brougham. A boxer is
in the house; he taught Palmerston the science of the pugilate, who

a Bulgian, and 2 of his own countrymen. This being done amidst more

French play that night, he & the two French gents walked round and round
Lester Squarr smoking segaws in the faces of other French gents who
