THE POLITICAL HUE AND CRY.

CD, .
" Oh, for a real political Hue and Cry ! Ho rr rick 'xould
be the Policeman's description."—( Vide Times or. This 41. q,.)

Missing--Peel, the Tory Snob,
Better known as " slippery Bob ;" •
Height, some five feet nine, or more,
Age, 'say fifty-three or four ;
Wears a dark frock-coat, old hat,
And a rusty silk cravat ; -
Looks in lean and piteous ease,
Like a footman out of place,
With a face as grim and Jong,
As some Icm ile gossip's tongue ;
Stoops a little in his gait,
And is 'often heard to prate.
In fluent phrase, wiih. Many a s'o,
About his Spartan honesty-- - •
When last seen, was standing nigh
The back-door of the Treasu.-y,
Dressed in most suspicious guise,
Which .so struck the watchman's eyes,
That he warned him off his heat,
And tracked him all down Downing-stre et.
And, dlubtless, by such interference,
Caused his " mysterious disappearance I'

-Miesing—a gaunt-and faded Beau,
In height about two yardsor so ;
Name, " Old Glory ;" age, three-score,
Known in his circle as the " Bore ;"
Looks desperate, and walks about
In a coat turned ir,:de out!

Missing—A small and hacknied joker
Who answers to the name of Croker ;
Has written poems most absurd,
Of which none ever read a word ;
Is dull, but flippant in his way,
And sour as verjuice, since the day
That placed his power in schedule A!
Whoever will give information
Conducing to the restoration • •
Of these lost Tories, shall receive,
Not cash (for they have none tagive),
But the best thanks of SEC. and SUB.
And all who haunt the Carlton Club !

DIANSION-HOUSE-(THIS DAY)

DISTRESS OF THE FISHERMEN AT QUEENEORQUGII.
—A fisherman named Jones, accompanied by, SW(
others, attended More the LORD MAYOrt with a me-
morial relative to the state of the oyster-fishery. at
Queenbornugh, which they wished his Lordship to
present to the Que'n.
Jona, in answer to the Lord Mayor, said that he and
his companions were free burgesses and fishermen °`,
Qucenborough, and their complaint was, that their em-
pkyincnt was entirely taken away. Many families were
actually starving, and as the winter season was now
corning on, it was impossible to tell what the cone'
quences might- be.
1.;
'rho LORD 'MAYOR—Whit is the cause of tue•-; fa'
milks being in a Etar% tag condition ?
Jones--Thc governing body not properly storing' t-
oyster grounds.

_
The LORD M A YOR—Are the Corporation oblige to
bring oysters for your fishery ?
Jones—Yes; it has been a fishery from 1445. rl-.14
oysters have been purchased at different market by agent'
sent by the governing . body ; and there is one of oulf
fisbermen, who was sent in March last, who is now lyir
in Jersey gaol for two cargos of oysters sent home, b'l.
cause they have not been paid for.
The LORD MAYOR —Why should the ruling: b.°?
send to get oysters for you ?
Jones—We all work in company, and whatever prole
tt
arise they go to liquidate the debt.- The Corporatio!
are the receivers. About four years ago they contractijc.
a debt cf 13,0001., but will not give any es•p:anation 0‘
how it was contracted. There is about 0,000 G.. god
on the grounds at this time.
After a lengthened conversation, the applicant, i° an,:
slyer to a question from the Lord Mayor, said-.J don't
think the motive of the Cor,;eration is to destreys'it,' but
they want to bring it into their own pockets. The 1%-titY°,.rr
who formerly received 201., is now receiving 1261. ;,
Chamberlain, who received 10/., now gets 801.
The LORD :MAYOR would help you if I cottki.
but I cannot do so.
After some further conversation the parties retired.
