AMENDE HONORABLE.--In making up the list of outside contributors, _Mr.
Punch's_ Private Secretary regrets having omitted the name of JOHN
HOLLINGSHEAD, the friend of the Bloomsburians, and the determined
foe of Mud Salad Market and Monopolisers. "J.H.," or, to reverse the
initials, "HONEST JOHN," will now be satisfied.

SCENE--_The Crystal Palace. The Nave is filled with a dense
throng of Pleasure-seekers. Every free seat commanding the
most distant view of a Variety Performance on the Great Stage,
has been occupied an hour in advance. The less punctual stand
and enjoy the spectacle of other persons' hats or bonnets.
Gangs of Male and Female Promenaders jostle and hustle to
their hearts' content, or perform the war-song and dance
of the Lower-class 'ARRY, which consists in chanting "Oi
tiddly-oi-toi; hoi-toi-oi!" to a double shuffle. Tired women
sit on chairs and look at nothing.
