_Joe Miller._--The remains of this patriarch of puns and jokes, hitherto

peaceably resting in the burial-ground in Portugal Street, will now be

disturbed to make way for the new buildings of King's College Hospital.

Surely "Old Joe" ought not to be carted away, and _shot_ as rubbish.

Some plain memorial of him might soon be raised, if an appeal were made

to the public; and if every one whose conscience told him he had ever

been indebted to Miller, would subscribe only a penny to the memorial

fund, the requisite sum would soon be collected.
