By the bye, excepting the hurried, thick utterance of Incledon when speaking, there is great resemblance, as far as regards voice, between that singer and Mr. Young.

A sketch of one of those inveterate story tellers which are the standing dishes of a table d'hôte, introduces one of the best of the cuts, Mr. Blase Bronzely, loquitur: "Well, gentlemen, as I was saying, when I saw at Stratford-upon-Avon the Shakspearean procession pass in the street, it rained so violently that Caliban and Hamlet's Ghost carried umbrellas, whilst Ophelia "
