A Lady wishes to have twice from the country a SUPPLY of LIVE
SPARROWS, for a favourite cat.--Address, &c.
There is an uncomfortably blood-thirsty look about this "Lady's"
desire to supply her favourite cat with some downright real Sport. For
it is to be presumed that she intends her well-cared for pet literally
to do the unhappy sparrows to death in the most approved fashion. How
will she manage it? Clip their wings, and set them on the drawing-room
floor; or tie strings to their legs, and let the favourite cat "go for
them?" Cats must be fed. But it is not necessary to provide them with
a "Supply of Live Sparrows" twice, or even once. We submit the subject
to the notice of the S.P.C.A.

ONE POUND NOTES.--Probable rate that a fashionable _prima donna_ will
charge for a song in the near future.
