A  person  of  long-established  Integrrity  will  tako  excellent  care  of  Bonnets,  Cloaks,  etc^
during ^e  Entertainment ;  the  Audience  better  leave  their  money,  however,  with  Mb,  Ward  ;
be  will  return  it  to  them  in  a  day  or  two,  or  invest  it  for  them  in  America  as  they  may
think  best.
Nobody  must  say  that  he  likes  the  Lecture  unless  he  wishes  to  be  thought
eccentric ;  and  nobody  must  say  that  he  doesn't  like  it  unless  he  really  is  eccentric.  (This
requires  thinking  over,  but  it  will  amply  repay  perusal.)


The  Panorama  used  to  Illustrate  Mr,    Ward*s  Narrative  is  rather  worse  than

Panoramas  usually  are.
Mb.  Ward  will  not  be  responsible  for  any  debts  of  his  own  contracting.

APPEARANCE  OF  ARTEMUS  WARD.
Who  wfll  be  greeted  with  applause.  G^  The  Stall-keeper  is  particularly  requested
to  attend  to  thifl._fFf  When  quiet  has  been  restored,  the  Lecturer  will  present  a
rathMT  frisky  prologue,  of  about  ten  minutes  in  length,  and  of  nearly  the  same  width.
It  perhaps  isn't  necessary  to  speak  of  the  depth.
u.
THE  PICTURES  COMMENCE  HERE,  the  first  one  being  a  view  of  the
CaUfomia  Steamship.  Large  crowd  of  citizens  on  the  wharf,  who  appear  to  be
entirely  willing  that  Artemub  Ward  shall  go.  'Bless  you,  Shr!"  they  say.
"Don't  hurry  about  coming  back.  Stay  away  for  years,  if  you  want  tol"
It  was  very  touching.  Disgraceful  treatment  of  the  passengers,  who  are  obliged
to  go  forward  to  smoke  pipes,  while  the  steamer  herself  is  allowed  2  Smoke  Pipes
amidships.    At  Panama.    A  glance  at  Mexico.
