RIIIO RHIO, KING OF THE SANDWICH
ISLANDS, AND THE FANTOCCINI.
When King Rhio Rhio, at Osborne's Hotel,
First took up his lodging, and ranging about
The house one day solus, he raised a high rout,
Astounding the servants ; but no one could tell,
Nor King, nor domestic, the cause of the pother,
For neither of the language could talk of the other.
Yet King Rhio Rhio knew French—'twere absurd
Perhaps to assert that his Majesty spoke it,
His parlez confin'd was to only one word.
Which now recollecting late silence he broke it,
By shouting " Diable !" and led in terrorem,
The room to where Satan had stept in before him.
hat mighty events from small causes arise.
The room so possess'd was examin'd with care,
But nothing remarkable yet was found there,
Excite which might either alarm or surprise,
Unless t'were a pair of bright Boots, when the strain
" Diable I" bia Majesty sent forth again.
On viewing, not one sable Imp as before,
But, flitting the Jet in, some half dozen more!
The cause was explain`d—and one subsequent day
To give of amusement the King a display,
The figures so tiny.
Of Gray's Fantoccmi
Had audience, but not brapproval were met.
" All this," said the Sandwichean Monarch, " the Jet
Exhibits, and more; for its lusture embraces
With truest reflection, ineffable graces:
So high decoration and pleasure not lacking,
My subjects shall henceforth use Warren's Jet Blacking."
This easy shining and brilliant Blacking, prepared by ROBERT
WA RREN, 30, Strand, London ; and sold in every town in the
kingdom. Liquid, in bottles, lld. 10d. 12d. and 18d. each. Also
Paste Blacking, in pots, rid. 12d. and 18d. each. A Shilling Pot
of Paste is equal to four Is. bottles of Liquid.

LORD Buatarctia HAT.—At the sale of the property
of the late Mr. Fryer, of Stamford, a very curious hat I
was sold for a trifling sum, and it proves to be the hat
formerly worn by Lord I'reasurer Burleigh. Its manu-
facture is of the finest texture imaginable, the crown low
and pointed, and surrounded with black glass bugles and
beads. sewn on black velvet. It is become the property of
an °dicer belonging to the Royal South Lincoln Militia.—
York Courant.

Mr. Scheffer, the inventor of the new life-preserver, in
cases of shipwreck, &c. had a narrow escape, as well as
his wife, on Saturday last. They were going on board
the Dart, for Margate, when the engine was suddenly set
in motion, and by the paddles the boat in which they were
was filled with water, and swamped. Mrs. Schafer fertu-
nately saved herself by clinging to a port-bole, until re-
lieved from her perilous situation. Mr. S. and the water-
man swam, until picked up by another boat. No blame'
whatever attaches to the Captain of the Part, or any of
the people on board, where -the parties were treated with
every kindness and attention.
