THE DEAD =MON.

The Pariimagetary Seminn which hal lost closed
has heia aes of liquidation. Having extended
Owe operation' into two hemispheres, and three out
of the four quarters of the globe, having engaged in
at adventurous and speculative policy wherever an
opening occurred, during the four years preceding the
prevent year, the Government at lad became aware
that they were on the mete of political bankruptcy.
This swim, therefore, has been employed in a frantic
effort to wind no. All hands have been employed to
shorten sail all along the line in the Ministerial fleet_
The c entry had discovered that the flashy enterprises
of the Government 41 wit pay. Either there were
so divideods, or the dividends came out of capital,
ehich WA4 being dloshilabed at an astounding rate.
There hid been for • long time the appearance of
each activity. The egencies of the National Board
actin; is Downing-street were busy in both the
jollied and uncivilised parts of the world. All
mined sunshine awl prosperity amongst the admiring
creeds daily assembled In the antechambers to do
imago to the Montague Dizzy of modern politics.
Bet the time WWI approaching when the constituencies
would be entitled to an account of thee, speculative
transactions. It wee known that the balance-sheet
would show a large deficit Immense sacrificed had
bees made for the pretended safety, honour, and
setae of our Sovereign and her dominions which
hed mover been attacked. Prestige was debitid with
as 004(100611 sum of expenditure, which must be

been pissed to set on the other side of the acoount.
The ennmersiion of the Government assets in the
Queen'. Speech is most melancholy reading. The
bat of then scarcely swells the credit aide of the
national ledger, and Cyprus hail become such • 16011-
,0w is to be considered unworthy of mention even
is • suspense account. Allusion to this fever and
mwertystriclten Wand, it must be admitted, has been
wiaely suppressed, for had it occupied a place in the
Royal Message it could only have figured as a burthen.
Is this character only dose the Anglo-Turkish Treaty
indirectly crop up in the speech from die Throne.
Ottoman reforms must he despaired of, or be bought
with British cash, and Asia Minor, U defended, must

forget.

Them ars • lot of people in Pools who think that
because they us good friends to • political cause they
can d ut what they please. and even calculate upon
Mr. fio-andao on the Bench "letting them down awry"
when they " brought up," because h• "bin.,"
or " yellow," ak the came may be.

This is & most disgraoefal state of things, and I man
Vll7 pleased to find that it I. likely to be stopped.
It'd eery "hard laws" that two publichouess should
be selected for watching out cat the dorms which
trade on Sunday in our town, and that the landlord
of o,e should be acquainted that his doings were
known, and that the landlord of the other should bare
no notion

Now, I know a grea—t deal more about this
piece of business than I shall put in print; but I will
say this much—ernongst the toisiest rejoioen over the
event are two of the Conservative and aristocratic
gossips of Poole.

I have received a circulnr &eking ma to Jan the
Poole Musical Association, and I think I shall, for if I
rsn't sing I can soiree.
Judging from the way the "lower ten" dress in
Poole on Sundays, times can't be very bad here. It
Is no uncommon thing to me young women whom
pinata plead poverty-dressed is the height of the
fashion. How is this ?

And bow is it, if times are so bad, that one
boost alone takes money for beer from ninety people
(from one seven times) be two hours?

Talking of beer, I hear a whisper of a large Oak in
the form of • new brewery,—iu fact, I think I raw

yellow flag. Perhaps I was only dreaming. Wall—

Although I ant generally pretty correct (for example.
my statement relative to some of the Poole rubbish
being shot into Wimborne square waa perfectly true),
still I wee wrong a few weeks ago in stating that Mr.
Palk was owner of those ugly stores opposite the
Antelope. I find that he is not.

I would suggest to their owners, Messrs. Belben,
that they are not only the ugliest buildings in Poole,
but quite spoil that end of the town. One corral:ion-
