THE ROPE VAULTER, or a COUNTRY'
EXCURSION.
Last Bartti'lumew Fair on a Monday began ;
The market had clos'd, when bestriding his horse,
In haste to a booth as the multitude ran,
Outside where a rope-faulting Monkey display'd
Through Smithfield a Yeoman dirkcted his course,
His skill, in appropriate costume array'd,
formance and antic grimaces
His agile Per -,ible
Created it number of t i faces.
his eye on the Yeoman's bright bo,,N,
wonder all other pursuits ;
' Encore!" cried the Yeoman,—the Monkey turri'd round,
reflection
this...newl Amateur's taste;
rue there by reflection his image he found
the wind, '
As if in a usirror,—asid judgment to show,
arms round the Yeoman's broad waist
Adjusted his dress by the fine jetty glow:
past down like
whet,. Presto, begone I Jacky sprang up behind,
AnTdhtelihroowrsiengthe Old Bailey
And Blackfriars Bridge with, velocity cross'il,
All eyes while these mystitiedviders engioss'd.
At home when arriv'd, what but terror prtvaird,
The Yeoman as seen by the detil assaird '
.. The devil ?—'tis one of the littrictin
s g,
Blacking '• ' "
The Yeoman replied—while the Mookev the act i .
Ot setting his dress to the bright againboots' "
Resorted his Amateur taste to sushi,,. '
Itestor'd to his home, to prevent like disaster
A toilet for Jacky is found by his Master, '
In chaste and resplendent reflection not lacking—
Boots polisli'll by Warren's pre-eminent Blacking.

Parcel, Package, or Passenger's Luggage, to them or their

SILK TRADE.—So flourishing is tnis'important
manufacture, that it is imposible to keep pace with the demand
for goods. There is a general cry for more hands, and by an
advertisement, from 4,000 to 5,000 would find immediate au.*
ploy. Theirinstant arrival here might, perhaps, occasion some
inconvenience as to the lodging of them, which will soon be
obviated, as we have pretty good authority for stating that not
less than a thousand houses are about to be built. Several plots
of land have been marked out for the purpose, as well as for the
erection of four or five silk factories.—( Macclesfield COurier•
