ON CHANGE.

To the Editor.

Sir,—We know that every thing in this world changes in the course of a few years; but what I am about to communicate to you is a change indeed.—“I’ve been roaming;” and in my city rounds I find the present residence and profession of the undernamed parties to be as follows:

Cain is a builder at 22, Prince’s-row, Pimlico; and a surgeon, 154, Whitechapel-road.

Abel is a dealer in china at 4, Crown-street, Soho; and a glover at 153, St. John-street-road.

Moses is a slopseller at 4, James-place, Aldgate; and a clothes-salesman in Sparrow-corner, Minories.

Aaron is a pawnbroker in Houndsditch, No. 129; and an oilman at Aldgate.
