It would be tedious to detail the successive steps of my inquiries, until I had at last ascertained distinctly that the power of the eating faculties is, _cæteris paribus_, in proportion to the size of those compartments in the stomach by which they are manifested. I propose at a future time to explain my system more fully, and shall conclude my present lecture by giving a list of the organs into which I have classified the stomach, according to my most careful observations.
1.--Bread (_French rolls_). 2.--Water (_doubtful_). 3.--Beef (_including rump-steaks_). 4.--Mutton (_legs thereof_). 5.--Veal (_stuffed fillet of the same_). 6.--Bacon (_including pork-chops and sausages_).
7.--Fowl. 8.--Fish. 9.--Game. 10.--Soup. 11.--Plum-pudding. 12.--Pastry.
15.--Olives. 16.--Caviare. 17.--Turtle. 18.--Curries. 19.--Gruyère Cheese. 20.--French Wines. 21.--Italian Salads. 22.-- ----
Of the last organ I have not been able to discover the function; it is probably miscellaneous, and disposes of all that is not included in the others.

Yesterday Paddy Green, Esq. gave a grand _déjeuner à la fourchette_ to a distinguished party of friends, at his house in Vere-street. Amongst the guests we noticed Charles Mears, J.M., Mister Jim Connell, Bill Paul, Deaf Burke, Esq., Jerry Donovan, M.P.R., Herr Von Joel, &c. &c. Mister Jim Connell and Jerry Donovan went the "_odd man_" who should stand glasses round. The favourite game of _shove-halfpenny_ was kept up till a late hour, when the party broke up highly delighted.
A great party mustered on Friday last, in the New Cut, to hear Mr. Briggles chant a new song, written on the occasion of the birth of the young Prince. He was accompanied by his friend Mr. Handel Purcell Mozart Muggins on the drum and mouth-organ, who afterwards went round with his hat.
On Friday the lady of Paddy Green paid a morning call to Clare Market, at the celebrated tripe shop; she purchased two slices of canine comestibles which she carried home on a skewer.
Mrs. Paddy Green on Wednesday visited Mrs. Joel, to take tea. She indulged in two crumpets and a dash of rum in the congou. It is confidently reported that on Wednesday next Mrs. Joel will pay a visit to Mrs. G. at her residence in Vere-street, to supper; after which Mr. Paddy Green will leave for his _seat_ in Maiden-lane.
