Volume 25 — AN ANSWER TO THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Reading edition
THIS question is, at last, effectively answered. We are glad to announce that Constantinople has just been taken by Messers. Grieve and Telbin, who, dead to the influence of Russian gold, refuse to surrender it, upon any terms, into the hands of the Emperor Nicholas. They intend to hold out as long as they possibly can; but all English subjects will be admitted to view its numerous beauties by applying at the Gallery of Illustration, in Regent Street.
No Russians need apply.
Walls have Tears.
A complaint against damp houses has been recently made by a letter-writer in the Times, who says he has suffered severely from wet walls. We are happy in suggesting an efficient remedy by recommending that the walls of new houses should be papered with Parliamentary speeches, the usual dryness of which would, we are convinced, render any little dampness impossible.
