VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS

Our patriotic, practical, and facetious friend, "the Butter-
man," this week gives a satisfactory answer to the question,

HOW ARE THEY TO BE " GOT UP!"

At 7 A.m., a ' itleman, in heavy marching order, armed to the
teeth, mounts guard in front If the Butter Place, and there remains
on duty to 7 P.M., with the exception of the few minutes he spends
before dinner in discharging his rifle, and rubbing up his arms.
In his pretty uniform, the ladies unanimously pronounce him
4` a duck." Mischievous people say he's soiled by Bd. Butter; but
that is—untrue.

The number of persons that called to see him up to S
on Friday Evening, was exactly

25,500 GENTLEMEN !

500,000 LADIES ! !
JUVENILES, INCALCULABLE ! !

." The British Grenadiers."

The Mayor a public meeting
On Friday did convene,
At which a mighty concourse
Of every rank was seen;
Our worthy Mayer was in the chair,
Surrounded by his peers,
To hold a debate on the present state
Of the Rifle Volunteers.

Around the Mayor we noticed
The great ones of the town,
The brave Sir Fenwick Williams,
And Mr. William Brown
Likewise the gallant adjutant,
Who, for the last six years,
Has organised, and is highly prized,
By the Rifle Volunteers.

The various magnates present
The meeting now addressed,
And all their admiration
Of Rifle Corps expressed.
Each motion was unanimous,
And carried 'mid loud cheers.
If the papers you read you will know wkat was said
Of the Rifle Volunteers.

One thing upon the meeting
Did cast a little gloom,
Which was—that Edward Kelly
Could not be got to come.
lie sent a speech, however,
His sentiments to state ;
But, I grieve to write, by some oversight,
The missive came too late.

Its purport now we publish
"E. Kelly begs to say,
" That, though his avocatia
' Confines him close all day.

" Still those few hours whijch he devotes
" To rest from toil severe,
"He'll pass not at home, bet himself become
" A Rifle Volunteer."

Now talk of Alexander,
Or talk of Wellington,
Let Yankees "raise their dander"
With tales of Washington;
Yet which of these three heroes,
Pray tell me, if you can,
Was one single jot more a patriot
Than the British Butterman

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.— SCUIVy, leprosy,
and cutaneous diseases. The heaviness, weariness, and
dejection of spirits, usually attendant on sufferers from
diseases of the skin, are speedily removed by the use of
Holloway's Ointment and Pills. Their efficacy in correct-
ing the bad habit of the body stands unrivalled. In places
abroad, where the malady is prevalent, the cures are won-
derful. The purifying properties of the pills, and the pecu-
liar effect the ointment has on the skin, render them superior
to any other remedy. In all cutaneous affections, these
remedies stand unrivalled ; and, as a cosmetic, the ointment
is in very general repute.

EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.--There is
nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful-
ness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass,
valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such
things cannot he matched, and of course cannot be mended.
The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and
effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near
Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal in a per-
fect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articlesspoken of ,
and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The
benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen
some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the
glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in that part
than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house
can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale
in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by
looking in at his establishment. Agent for Liverpool, E.
T. Hall, 23, South John-street. Sold in bottles, is each,
or sent free on receipt of sixteen postage stamps. N.B.—
None are genuine, except bearing the signature. "E. T
Hail."
