AUGUST.

1st.—Miss A. Kemble married to a count, and will, it is to be hoped,

find her account in the step taken.

'Tis a pity Miss Kemble retires so soon,

When money she makes to so pretty a tune.

5th.—Prince Albert shot ninety-six rabbits in the royal preserves. The

animals, anxious for the honour of seeing the Prince, fell the unhappy

victims of a too fatal curiosity.

6th.—A gentleman having received a newspaper sealed with the motto,

"Time flies," was charged full postage on account of "information"

contained on the wrapper.

14th.—Gooseberries, apples, and pears selling for a mere nothing in

Covent Garden Market, being, as the growers declared, the fruits of the

Tariff.

25th.—Trial of the vagabond Bean, who was found to be one of a very

inferior kidney.
