TrniEK-HiitrT*, June 7, 1855. We inadvertently omitted to mention yesterday, that on Wednesday evening, -"JJodson's Express," (wheel barrow,J conveyed one of the votaries of Bachrcs, to tbe 4city Hotel," in a very limber and aerveless condition. ,Yesterday morning he was introduced to the "drawing room" of Mayor Hook at the Town Hall, under the nnme, of John Hall, and after a short call was permitted to depart by paying 81, amd costs.

One or two pther cases' of a trivial character was up and disposed of.

RETURN OF THE TRAVELER.—Lord John (in traveling costume, just come home, jaded and dirty, and enquiring of his servent.) "Well, John, have I been wanted at all during my absence?"

Servant—"Not in the least, sir."

Diogenes pamta Lord John Russell as the dove that came back to the ark without an olive leaf. Palmerston is Booking out of the window. Punch has iiord John as a servant who has been

absent on an errand ever so long, and filled, on reasonable terms. VVM who has returned with "no answer ma' am.'
