any Israelitish clothesman, who could afford to lay them by, until the unfortunate gentlemen who were measured for them rather hastily, may, in more prosperous times, command cash or credit, by forcing themselves into power by their Talents, which are unquestionable.

Likewise a few more costly suits of the same dignified uniform, which have been turned only once, except that particular one which has experienced the operation of twice turning, to fit more appropriately the person of the Right Hon. George T―y.

All the apparel may be viewed at a respectable pawnbroker's, the Three Blue Balls, in the neighbourhood of St. James's, where it has been carefully deposited to prevent the moth from taking it.

Farther particulars may be known at the Teller's Head, Water Cress* Alley, Lothbury, where the pawnbroker's duplicates are lodged.

SONG,

TO THE TUNE OF "ERIN GO BRAGH."

[From the Morning Post, June 29.]

! MOURN for the days of confusion and sorrow, Of kingdoms o'erthrown, and of greatness betray'd, Uncertain the fortune that hangs on the morrow,

And Europe divided, debas'd, and dismay'd.
In vain the great names that through ages descended,
Ranks, titles, and thrones, in one chaos are blended,
And the Corsican smiles on the fall of the world.
O England! my country, sole country remaining,
Art thou too his triumphs at last to adorn?
Art thou, like the rest, to be dragg'd uncomplaining,

At the wheels of his chariot, all bleeding and torn?
Thou island of islands, thou land of sweet beauty,
Thou land where brave Nelson bade all do their duty,
Art thou too to fall, with the fall of the world?

*Cresco, Crescis,' CREVI!

Thou

Thou land where the crest of the fifth Harry brighten'd,
Whose heroes have perish'd for freedom and law;
Where Eliza has triumph'd, and Chatham has lighten'd,
And Marlborough blaz'd in the track of Nassau !-
But why should I mention the deeds of old story?
You Britons are still, like the Britons before you,
Badajoz renews your bright vision of glory,

And your country shall stand 'mid the fall of the world!

BAR WIT.

¡MPROMPTU BY MR. JEKYLL,

On a Case of Ejectment, tried at the Cardiff Assizes, in which the Plaintiff, a rich Man, retained all the Bar except a Mr. Abraham, who was for the Defendant, a poor Man. [From the British Press, July 3.] DIVES the Cardiff bar retains,

And counts their learned noses;

While the defendant, Lazarus,
On Abraham's breast reposes.

LIEN, LION, LYEN.

On the different Pronunciation of Sir A. P. and the Chancellor, of the word Lien: the former pronouncing it Lean, and the other Lion.

[From the same.]

IR Arthur, Sir Arthur, what is it you mean,

SIR

The Chancellor's lion you tell us is lean?

Is the Chancellor's kitchen at length come to that,
That nothing about him can ever grow fat?

SHIP NEWS.

[From the Morning Chronicle, July 3.]

THE HE following article is extracted from the Grinmouth Telegraph :

Just returned into Independence Harbour, from a voyage of discovery to the Utopia of Consistency, the

Moira and Wellesley; they touched at Liverpool going out, and at Sidmouth, and took in wood and water-looked into Compromise Bay, but the current ran too strong-the Horne Tooke broke up-the Cobbett (quarantine nearly expired) expeeting every day to get out-proceeded to Yarmouth-hailed the Whisker bomb-ketch and the Manchester first-ratebrought-to at Cape Canning-all well, and the colony in a thriving condition-stopped at the islands of Grey and Grenville, lat. 51. 6. in the Archipelago of Politics inhabitants hospitable and fair in their dealings-furnished a quantity of Magna Charta Madeira, which had gone the rounds, and some barrels of sturdy sour krout, excellent against the scurvy of fa vouritism, which makes such ravages in the constitu tion-four leagues further, W.

LIBERTY

LIBERTY HALL:

A NEW SONG FOR A CABINET DINNER.

"Every one now may have his own way in the Cabinet; it is quite a sort of LIBERTY HALL."-Mr. Tierney's Speech on the late Negotiations. [From the same, July 4.]

SEND

END the toast about briskly, my good fellows all!
You may fill as you like, this is Liberty Hall;
Where he who loves comfort, and glories in pelf,
May enjoy his opinions and pint to himself.

Here's Howe'er we may differ in most other cases,
May we always agree to hold fast by our places,
And long may reversions and sinecures fall
To the free-thinking worthies of Liberty Hall."
Here C-stler-gh sits, after wasting his wind.
In telling us every thing else but his mind;

And, releas'd from his pledge to keep Ireland enslav'd,
Now he's sure of his place, thinks she ought to be sav'd.
While Eld-n, enjoying a full dispensation

From ev'ry thing (bless him!) that's like toleration,
May still load the Papists with blubbler and gall,
And ne'er be the worse for 't in Liberty Hall.
Here R-d-r has leave (and there never was man
Had such latitude giv'n) to be dull as he can ;
While S-dm-th, of course, is permitted to trim,
Since the habit's become second nature in him.
Here V-ns-tt-t himself has a license ta'en out,
To go on without knowing one thing he's about;
And, in short, so we be not too honest, we all
May just follow our fancies in Liberty Hall.
So here's to the good jolly place-hunter's health,
Who has no proud objections to power and wealth;
And whom nature has blest with a bird-limy bottom,
That sticks in good places when once he has got 'em.
It matters not what his opinions may be ;

If they stand in his way, the more simpleton he!
And in case he should have no opinions at all,
Why-he'll be but the fitter for Liberty Hall.
