SIR FRANCIS BURDETT. We hive d• rived much amusement from the perusal of a yen►, long ,n s . er tarion, in the loim of an Address to the Electors of Southwark, 1•y Sir F. Bartlett. Mr. Thornton (►he Member returned for that Bo yo-Jgh, in ovpositon to the br..ther of the sapient Sir Francis) seems to baye incurred the displeasure of the Baronet ; and the cause of the presc.t burst of rave from the worthy Baronet is merely a little truth, which Mr. Thornton mentioned in an address to the Electors of South w►ek, namely, that the views of reform entertained by Sir Panels and his brother were wit rational. The most entertaining circumstance in Cie whole of this farce is, that Sir Francis begins by saying that he dues not consider the conduct of Mr. Thornton worth his notice ; and to prove this he writes a whole column in a Morning Paper, inveigh ing most bitterly agliinst Mr. Thornton, abusing him grossly, and end ing, the whsle by asserting, in the most unqualified manner, that Mr. Thornton has uttered a falsehood. THE II fTH OF NOVEMBER. The eighteenth annivetsary of the actinittid of Hardy and others, who were charged with lii4ll Treason, took place on Thursday at the Crown and Anchor. After the usual toasts, Mr. Hunt, who at the meeting of last year spoke of gracing a lamp post with the head of Sir V. Gibbs, noticed the late BristorElection, and the part lie had taken in it. He had come forward, he said, with the sole view of giving the people of Bristol an opportunity of asserting their freedom, not from the mere motive of opposing the humane, the good, the amiable, the lovely Sir S. Romilly. He had failed—yet he had tri umphed, for no perjured or solicited man had voted for him. He could not say that of has opponents; on tha contrary, they had exer cised the most corrupt means to obtain their majorities, as he could prove, if called upon. Sir S. Romilly, the humane, the lovely Sir S. Rorndly, had himself, by his agents, as he acknowledged on the hust ings, purchased freedoms for seven hundred inhabitants previously to Ow opening of the poll. in order that they might vote for him —Men W;10 had, under the authority and direction of the said Sir Samuel, to- Led the 13fibery*Oath I3ut Mr. Dacia had acted as humanely, for he • too had purchased seven hundred freedoms for wren hundred men, who swore that they had received neither fee nor reward for their vote. .. • Nov.:. Mr. Protheroe had purchased only five hundred. Such was Mr. Hunt's it.port of the late proceedingr. the accuracy of winch we have no reisson to doubt, for that, Mr Hunt says, is seldom to be questioned, as such is his affection for truth, that lie rarely disgrects her by appearing in her company. Mr. Harris ptnpnsed as a toast— ., Westminster's Pride and England's hope—Sir F. Burdett and Lord Cochrane." _ _ . Mr. Miller, the shoemaker, and others, win) had neither the same trust hi, or hopes of Lord Cochrane, as they had of Sir F. B ol d en , ipposed the toast. Mr. Houston condemned all opposition to the toast, which, how aver, atter some opposition and clani , mr. was withdrawn. A FAMILIAR ADDRESS TO MR. Sit RIDAN'S NOSE! Oh thou! who hold'st ciistinguisled place. On the Bit jo ly face, Whom N,ture, inshating art, Hung out as sign of DicK's scar')) heart ; Who. careful, when no more he thinks Keep'st clear account of what he chinks. Dv seotiog on thy front divine, A pimple fur each pipe of wine ; Wino in New Derry's lobby. 1, Beneath great Si:AKER/PE 4 a z's form descry, (For sure the fire which there I see, Was meant correct to picture thee). Oh blaze ! by bellows never And always bright tho' seldom snujill. Oh thou! whose ever fervid glow, Proves thee a nasal volcano ! To thl'e my sad complaint I pour, Bid Jack o' Lantern, who before Thee dances, wheresoe'cr Dick goes. A moment stop to hear my woes ; Nay do not fly, fir sure by day. The world can do without thy ray. Give men not yet the lamp of mght, 'Withhold frt m !hem awhile thy light , They sure can make shift with the Sun, While I recount, since I've begun What under thee has late been done. 0 nose of fire ! that seetta'st, I wot, A huge box iron heater, hot ; Tito' free I mean to make, the muse Of nothing bad can thee accuse : Thou did'st nut fire late Drury's dome, In contact ye did never come; Thy flame the Commons' House enjoy% That night old Drury was destroyed. Where many a taper match of wit Has by thy genial fire been lit. Well was it you were far away From where the engines went to play,. F..r had the firemen chanced to see, They certainly had played on thee; And such performance you, I wilt, Nut liking, would have fiercely kissed, For you and Dick, in any quarter, Hate, as ye hate the devil—water ; And you, at first, however shocked To see your fire, the playhouse mocked, Felt half your wrath with his subside, When you beheld the stream supplied To quench the blaze ;—consoled to know. To flames consigned your antient foe. Refulgent nose! thou like DICK'S name Doom'd to survive to lasting fame, Fate bade escape, that all might see With wonder thy high destiny. 'Twas thine when 'bout this time last year, The comet fill'd us all with fear, To drive him hence.—He left Sol's court, To turn this world to glass fur spirt; But seeing thee, scar'd by thy heat, He soon resolved upon retreat; Glad to get oil with unsina'd tail, Convinc'd where you were, he must fail. And fled, precipitately fled, Ashaned of having shown his head. • THE NATIONAL REGISTER.
