Butthis must have beenan entire mistake onthe part of the North-amptonshire Volun-teers. If Lord Overstonedid give them a so-sodinner, depend uponit, it was that he might. Young Ditto, after Four Weeks Frost in a Country House—most particularlYj Engaged ! stamp the entertain-ment with an essen-tially soldierly charac-ter. How could he dothis so effectually asby making a mess ofit? A Voyage into theInterior. Amongst the newRailway projects, itseems there is to be atubular undergroundfrom Regents Circusto the Bank. Whatthe length of this newline is to be, we dontknow, and we have ourfears whether it will bea very straight line; fordoesnt it strike thetraveller as a very cir-cuitous route groing tothe City from RegentsCircus through Hol-low(-w)ay ? Better than New.—Why ought everydecent man at once tocome out of South Ca-rolina ? Because heought to be ashamed tobe seen in a RevoltingState. PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.—February 9, 1861,
