FAIL—The annual Michaelmas Fair took place on
Tuesday and Wednesday last, but it WAS but thinly
supplied with the commodities for which it was once
famous—cheese being very scarce. Onions, the special
feature of the fair, was also seam, and business was far
from brisk. The atteciisnoe was below the average although
the weather was very favourable. There is no doubt
that this fair is rapidly declining in importance, indeed
during the last few years it has been especially marked.
The priee of cheese was about the same as at the last
monthly market, but the sale was exceedingly dull.
Onions may be quoted from 7s. 6d. to 84. 6d. per sack,
but from general appeeraness they were in bed condition
for keeping. There were some miserable shows, and
the natal attractions to be seen at fairs, but the publis
appeared to have keit the taste for those kinds of amuse-
ments.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE CZAR;
01, ABRAHAM AND LLRIAIiDII,
"Forme= pastor Lincoln ardebat Maxim."
President Abs Car Alexander breast
•Ananitina s Delight ;" nor were his hopes reproved ;
Both sovereign potentates, both devote, too,
F.aoh with a greet rebellion to subdue,
Alike prepared to sing and to reply.
The precious pair thus bragged alternately.

Abe. Imperial sou of Nicholas the Great.
We eir in the same fin. I calculate,
You with your Poles, with Southern rebels I,
Who spurn my rule and my revenge defy.
Alex. Vengeance is mine, old men; see where It falls,
Behold yon heartlui laid waate, and ruined walls,
You gibbets, where the struggling patriot hangs,
Whilst my brave myrroidows enjoy his pangs.

Abe. 11l show you • considerable some
Of devastated hesrth and ravaged home;
Nor left about the gallows could I say,
Were banging not • game both sides would play.

Alex. Wrath on revolted Poland's sons I wreak,
And deughterx too; beneath my knout they shriek;
See how from bluing halls the rowan flies,
And faithful Cossacks grasp the screaming prize.
Abe. In Tennessee, I guess, we've matched them eases,
And may compare with Warsaw New Orleans.
The Vistula may bear a purplish hue;
As deep a stain has darkened the Yazoo.
Alex. When my glad eye the telegram enjoys
Of women whipped, and soldiers *booting boys,
I prides De Berg to supplieation deaf,
And glorify severe Mouravieff.
Abe I, when with their desert. South gals meet
(Ws, too, know bow the saucy sex to treat),
Rejoice in Butler name, who made them feel ;
Extol the gallant Tarehin and M'Neill.
Alex. Let mercy grace a feebler monarch's crown,
Zamovski's house my cannon battered down.
Captives, unchanged, I spare, that they may dwell
Tormented in Siberia's earthly helL

Abe. rye no Siberia of my own u yet,
But send gainsayers to Fort Lafayette;
And, what I reckon you'll approve of, sire,
Bade Gilmer., upon Charleston hurl Greek 6re.

Alex. On might, with legions armed, I twke my stand ;
All Europe's outcry shall not stay my band,
Nor from my clutch shall force the victim read
Whilst I've one rouble or one life to spend.
Abe. Bound to this child in bloody sympathies,
Come to my arms, and let o. be allies!
Well squelch John 8011, and scuttle Britain's Isle;
But let us go and liquor up meanwhile.
Pasch.
