We wonder, says the Examiner, that none of Mr. Gladstone’s enemies have accused him of “ levity ” because he went to the play at the Haymarket recently after seeing his pamphlet on the Bulgarian horrors through the press. It was said of the great Talma that he once played to a pitful of kings ; Mr. Clarke may henceforth boast that he played Dr. Bangloss and Major Wellington de Boots to a pitful of ex-Cabinet Ministers. The mighty leaders of the Opposition, Mr. Gladstone, Earl Granville, and Lord Hartington, were all there on the front bench of the stalls, looking as happy as if they, had never known the cares of State. An impertinent observer affirms that Dick Dowlass looked hard at them when he delivered his moral to “graceless youths,” but they never flinched. Graceless old dogs ! Strangers paying a visit to Wellington, and country settlers arriving In town, are very often at a loss to know which is the best house or cheapestfgeneral drapery establishment to visit for buying drapery and clothing. J. McDowell and Co. offer special advantages that can be met with nowhere else in the city. They keep at all times the largest and best assorted stock of every class of goods, imported direct from the leading manufacturers of Great Britain and Ireland, which, being bought on the most advantageous terms, enables them to offer goods of sterling qualities at prices that cannot be improved on by any house in the trade. Every article is marked at a fixed price that cannot be deviated from, for ready money, from which there is no deviation ; so that Inexperienced people are as well served as the best judges; the terms being net cash, without rebate or abatement of any kind. A full description of stock can be obtained from our catalogues and advertisement. Note the address—Opposite the Bank of New Zealand, comer of Lambton-quay and Willis-street, Wellingon.—Advt. .
