THE MOHAWKS.
first-rate

Description of a _ Parliamentary Orator,
from the Dedociition to 'the Mohawks, a satirical
poem just published
:
Great in the Semite, great In Treaties,
AU Europe at his mighty feet is.
Soereigo distributor of Places,

Of Pensions, Sinecures, and Graces;
The friend of Emperors and Kings,
Lord of all seen and of *II things;
And (what our tongue is mach t►e better for)
Great sutnerat of words and metaphor.
Wbene'er he can't effect by deed
The purpose nearest to his heart,
He takes to talking, in bw nerd,
Aud works his way by subtlest art.

Not that, like Chatham, Fox, or Tally,
He captivates each lies's* eolly;

No burst of light, no charm of diction,
Win or (*dime us to conviciiou;
But mazy periods, newer midis&
Parentheses together blending,
The stoutest intellects astoand,--
The bright, the subtle, the profunod.
Thus, by fatiguing, not amusiog,
Not by coaviseing, bat coofasing,
He makes witaativerble speeches,
And all his wayward coils he reaches;
And, while his auditors are dozing,
Temper* the world with hours of mooing;
Strikes Fdaroper's balance with his loupe,
And rake the roast by force of lang.
'Tis this that justly marks his mese,
The bream io the lists of fame.
A greater man was neer begotten,
Sine. British boroughs first were rotten;
His like on earth was newer knoan ;
Note e'er with second lustre shone,
When forced to sport their feeble ray
Within the sphere of Ceil-r—h.
As neat in latest, next in rule
To oar great chief, Lewd Liv-rp—l.

THE PRINCESS VICTORIA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

I believe it is not generally known that the
yo.ag Prioress Victoria, the presumptive heaves of the
'home of these realms, although partaking of the dignified
retirement of her royal mother, is nevertheless con tartly se.
ceeeible to the pieblie at large, whose property, as their pro-
bable future Sovereign, we have a right lo consider her, I
colonel refrain from laying before them, through the obedient
of your highly-valued Juureal, as interesting incideut which
occurred to me • few dsys since. Passiug accidentally
through Kensington Gardena, I observed at some distant. a
party, coo g of several ladies, • young shtld, and two

use of the infant. The appearance of the party, and the ge-
'geral alteetioa they attracted, led ine to seeped they might
be the royal intobitaeta of the palace, and on applying for
taforoodiuss to one of the gardeners, I VMS civilly informed
that enrcitekeiteres were well fenseded, end that her Royal

as is her daily custom, upon her royal and toleration( daugh.

Me Royal Highness is remarkably braetifol, and her gay

striking resemblance lu her late royal father, and indeed to
