The Livery of the City of London.
After the very conspicuous manner in which the City Corporation has been busying itself in the matter of Prince Albert's Statue, the Livery of the City of London should be immediately altered to that which is usually worn at Court. As the Aldermen and others do not mind appearing before the public as flunkeys of Prince Albert, the least they can do is to wear His Royal Highness's livery.
Three Things Modern Young Men Cultivate.—The acquaintance of a young lady with plenty of money—shirt collars as high as a garden wall—and a moustache.
NEGLECTED SCOTLAND.
A sensible Scotchman writing from Haddington to the Times, says that "the real grievances of Scotland are not her insulted Lions, nor her deserted Holyrood," but lie in "her ill-paved, worse-lighted and undrained market-towns, and in the incurable apathy of the inhabitants to sanitary reform."
This gentleman says that, on Tuesday last, at a meeting of the inhabitants of Haddington, it was proposed to adopt the drainage clauses of the New Police Act. After an earnest and solemn appeal from their parish minister imploring them "to unite with heart and hand in bringing the influences of pure air and water to bear on the wretched homes of their poorer brethren," followed by an awful warning from a medical officer of the town, "the householders (many of them wealthy men)" rejected, by a majority of ten to one, a bill for their assessment, in order to have their streets and houses cleansed, at the rate of 10d. in the pound.
