EXCEL S I O R
A WINTER ODE.

" They made a graven image, and set it up on high ;
- And there it stands unto this day, to witness if I lie."
Macaulay.

Scene—Williamson-square.
Time—Any evening since Christmas.
The shadows of night were coming down swift,
And the dazzling snow lay drift on drift,
As thro' "the Square" a figure did go,
Carrying a flag with this motto,
Yellow ho

O'er a forehead pale came copious hair,
His nose retrousse, complexion fair;
O'er his tightish eye an auburn lash ;
His chin was close shaven, and no moustache.

Tellow ho t

He stealthily looked " the Square all round,"
To see if " a peeler" was there to be found.
At the big gas lamp he made a stop,
As if he meant placing the flag on the top.
Yellow ho

As upwards he clambered, he thence did see
A number of families sitting at tea;
He eyed the dishes and plates very keen,
To see if his " Yellow" was there to be seen.
Yellow ho I
" Oh! don't go up," said an old woman, " stop !
It's freezing 'like blazes' up there on t top,
You'll tumble off on ?'other side ;"
But the spectacled stranger loud replied—
" Yellow ho !"

Oh! please don't go up such a shocking night;
Come sleep on my box, said a cabbie bright;
On his pallid cheek a tear-drop come,
But still he remarked, as he upward clomb,
Yellow ho !

Look out for the branch of that high cross-tree,
Dodge falling ice if anv you see.
With that "the Party" went home to bed,
•And a singlar voice replied overhead,

Yellow ho !

At a quarter-past six that same afternoon,
An astronomer, taking a look at the moon,
Heard spoken above him, as often as twice,
The very same words, in a very weak voice,
Yellow ho I

When " the peeler" came round at a quarter past seven,
He was slow in "his beat," the road being uneven,
Found the stranger dead in the drifted snow,
Still clutching the flag with this motto—
Yellow ho !

Yes! lifeless, defunct, without any doubt,
The "lamp of his being" decidedly out;
On the dreary flagstones " poor Kelly" was lying,
And 'twas no more use for him to be saying
g—
ellow Butter ho I

RESURGAM I
All ye who lament that poor Kelly is lost,
Just call at the " Butter Place !"—look at his ghost !
He sits in the window, and looks safe and sound,
And will sell you some " Yellow " at Bd. the pound.
Yellow Butter ho !

NEWS OF THE DAY.

After the measure adopted by the Bank of
England, on Monday, an alteration was fully ex-
pected to he made in the rate of discount by the
Bank of France, but it was scarcely thought,
judging by the course followed by the latter on
the recent occasion, that it would involve so large
a rise as that of 1 per cent. The inference is,
therefore, inevitable, and it is beyond doubt a
correct one, that there is very considerable pres-
sure on the other side of the channel. The
announcement has, of course, hastened a further
fall in consols, and the latest accounts which
found their way into the city articles of the Lon-
don evening papers yesterday, represent a growing
feeling of discouragement and uneasiness as
prevailing in almost all departments of busi-
ness. There is once more a struggle for
bullion between the three greatest money
markets in the world. The necessities of the
Bank of France are great, and those of the Bank
of the United States are not only greater, but in
some instances probably desperate. In fact, so
long as the value of money at New York is 12
per cent., and the exchange becoming daily more
decidedly against this country ; and so long as
America can afford to pay much higher for the
use of capital than we can, capital will flow
outwards towards her in the form most useful for
her to receive, and least convenient for us to part
with. People naturally view this active use of
the screw by the bank directors under the stringent
operation of the Bank Charter Act with consider-
able alarm, but the English commercial public
will gradually be re-assured, as the true cause
of the pressure comes to be recognised and ap-
preciated.

The Proclamation addressed by the new King
of Prussia to his people, on his accession to the
throne of that kingdom, and which we publish
elsewhere, deserves to be read and studied with
great interest. Its language is solemn and dig.
