China. The total has been £1,40,881, showing an
excess over the first quarter of 1859 of £490,755, or

THE SORROWS OF "THE STAR."

In rain I spend my eloquence,
My arguments let fly,
To tnach the peorle how to he
Pirsatisficd, and why.
I poke the British Lion up :
'ln his dull ear I scream;
I stir tlio tiro. I hlncr the coals.
But can't get up the steam!

There's flogging in the Army ;
There's jobbing in the Fleet;
Corruption is the Treasury ;
Tntr!gue in Downing-street!
That horrid Volunteerin—
g• For sarcasm what a theme !
But vain my skill, do what I will,
I can't get up the steam!

Vain, morning after morning,
My preaching up Reform;
The more I beat the iron
The more it won't get warm:
On indirect Taxation
My attacks would fill a ream.
Yet none will buy or back my err,
I can't get up the steam

At all the age's vices
I've gone in left and right;
I've written down Torn Sayers—
I've written up John Bright ;
'Painst cakes and ale in genial
I've turned my vitriol stream;
But cakes and ale do still prevail;
I can't get up the steam!

It's awful to contemplate
A nation like our own,
Going headlong to perdition
(As the Star has often shown).
They tread the Bowery pathway,
Wrapped in their fatal dream,
And turn deaf ears to all my fears,—
I can't get up the steam!

AVoen our Commons' rights invading,
The Peers' presumptuous vote
Keeps up the excise on po.per,
In vain I swell my throat,—
Vain an "outraged consti,ution"
And a " down-trod people" seem,
E'er. a " bloatod ari.toeraey "
Wi I not get up the steam!

In short, the country's apathy
To Times, Peers, Church, and Crown ;
Must sicken one who fain would see
All things turned upside clown ;
Who'd make the Star its country's guide,
For the Titres' delnsive beam ;
But the more I preach the fewer I reach,
And I can't get up the steam!

Oh, what this Ergland yet might he,
If Blight were at the helm,
With a graduated income tax
All t tact to o'ervrhelm--
And universal suffrage--
But hence too pleasing dream,
For that bright page--that Golden Age--
I can't get up the bteam!--runch.

Captain Sir F. L. McClintock was, yesterday,
appointed to the Bulldog just commissioned.
The Epsom settling was conducted with the utmost
regularity. Only one absence of importance was reported.
The liabilities are said to be upwards of £7,000..
The Times, in a leader, describes the terrible tortures
inflicted by the police of the King of Naples. frungcr,
darkness, and torture, chiefly by flogging, are used to
extract avowals of complicity in political plots. Recently
an old man, and his daughter, far gone in pregnancy,
perished under the lash.
