\t\t\t\tGone. \u2014 Alas ! for the instability of human hopes!
\nthe immense multitude gathered together on Wed-
\nnesday evening, to witness the inimitable exploits of
\nthe renowned ” Peter Hontz,” were terribly morti-
\nfied to find that incomparably sublime Dutchman of
\nwax, paper and rags flown, vamosed, defunct !
\nThe building remained as on the evening previously,
\nbut no show was to be found. What precise effect
\nthe announcement of this fact may have upon the
\nmarket of burnt cork, it is difficult to tell ; but our
\nword for it, the intelligence is highly calculated to
\ninfluence prices at auction.<\/p>\n
