HUMOURS OP THE DAY.

A doubt is expressed in several quarters whether
Sir E. Sugden will accept the Irish Chancellorship under
the Tory Administration. The little gentleman is waspish
at not getting the English seals, and as they are hung
beyond his reach, he looks for one of the English Equity
Judgeships, which he would not allow the Whigs to
create and fill up, and which the Tories will immediately
establish. Being an Englishman, he dreads to see re-
vived against him the opposition which the Irish Tory
bar got up to Lord Campbell, and, it is supposed, that
Mr. Lefroy will be the Tory Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
It is said that the Earl Fortescue is to be married to
Lady Somerville on the 30th instant.
It is probable that the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council, will give judgment in the great will
cause in the first or second week of next month. Cannot
the Learned Counsel on both sides contrive to get it a
rehearing?
Lord Stanley, it is said, is so determined to remain
on good terms with Sir Robert Peel, that he reads hardly
anything else than the Right lion. Baronet's speeches,
and labours most assiduously to forget all his own, de-
livered prior to the year 1839. The Tories speak with
raptures of his humility, Consequent on his new politi-
cal birth.

The Tory Ministry is arranged. Sir Robert Peel
is placed at the head of the lis by the organs of the
party, and the Duke of Wellington. though President of
the Council, is placed at the bottom. Buckingham, as
we surmised some time ago, goes to the Admiralty, but
we regret to see no place mentioned for D'lsraeli. Lord
Lyndhurst, as we also guessed, goes to Paris as her
Majesty's Ambassador.
The Galloway Steam Navigation Company is about
to be dissolved to please the Wigtown Presbytery. One
of their steam-boats which plied between Garliestown
and Liverpool usually started on the Saturday, and
was once driven back by stress of weather on the Sun-
day morning, which so scandalised Sir Andrew Agnew,
that he and the Presbytery concocted a plot for blowing
up the Company, and they will succeed.

OLD PINCHBELLY.

NOMEN OMEN, ET OMEN NOMEN.

44 Sir Francis Burdett (formerly ' Old Glory,'), then came
forward, and was received with mingled cheers and disappro-
bation ; persons in the crowd hailing him 43 • Old Pinctabelly. ' "
—Report of Sir F. Burdett's speech at the North Wilts
election, 1841.
Beelzebub, reverend Pundits lay,
So long as he lived in a righteous way,
And kept a conscience clean anti white
As the marble Panes in Paradise bright,
Was honoured by all the Archangelry there
With the glorious title of " LUCIFER."

But soon av he took to sinister ways,
And Tory politics dimmed his blaze ;
So soon as his head entertain'd a new whim,
And his soul grew ugly, be-devilled, and dim ;
So soon as he sought for an upper place,
And lost all he had of original grace ;
So soon as the horns sprouted out of his head,
And his cloven hoof gave a hint of his tread,
And his fiery tail, like red twist or a rocket,
Spite of tucking it in, would peep out of his pocket ;
So soon as the heavenly angelry saw
His hock, and his horns, and his cloven claw,
They (to use an American elegance) slick
Chanted his surname of " Lucifer" into—" OLD NICK.'

So Daddy Burdett, when in rolicksome youth
He stack but to Right, and defended the Truth—
When he hoisted young sails in the valorous cause
Of Reform with the Whigs, for Reform in the laws ;
When fair Restminster loved and caressed him as much
As now she detests his thrice-traitorous touch;
When she chose him her knight and staunch gallant in war,
And thought him pet nobler than "young Lochinvar,"
Then name full of triumph and excellence bore he,
'Twas the title, triumphant and proud, of " OLD GLOZY."
e.
But, like Lucifer (up at the top of nay verse),
Westminster's hero succumbed to the curse—
To the renegade curse—by the which be became
In principles nothing, and nothing in name ;
His jolly estate, and his full-blowing pride,
Became Pantaloon-like, and famished inside,
For, perjured in soul, and encrippled in limb,
" Old Glory" no longer is title for him ;
Paupered in spirit, and paupered in view,
He pinches and paupers his countrymen too,
Till an out .and-out Tory—like Old Nick in hell—he
'S cried down by name of—" OLD DADDY PINCHBELLY.',
And so all his clansmen—the whole host of Tories,
When settled in office, will douse the Whig" GLosixs ;"
And from biggest to least, be he great, be he small,
Will famish John Bull, and be l'lsrmaguars all.

DEATH OF SIR EDWARD MOSTYN, BART.
—We have to record the death of the above worthy Baronet,
who died at. Talacre, the family seat, in Flintshire, on Sunday
last, after a lengthened illness. The deceased, who was the
seventh baronet, was born in 1785, married first, in 1808, Miss
Blundell, daughter of Mr. Nicholas Blundell, of Crosby-hall,
Lancashire, and secondly in 1826, third daughter of the late
Mr. Henry Slaughter, of Furze-hall, Essex. In 1823, he suc-
ceeded his father. Was custos brevium of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, and was last year appointed Deputy-Lieutenant
of Flintshire. He is succeeded by his eldest son by his first mar-.
riage, now Sir Pyers Mostyn, Bart., born in 1811.
DEATH OF LADY EMMA WEMYSS.—The
mournful intelligence of the demise of her ladyship was received
by the Earl of Erroll and other branches of the family. Her
ladyship expired at Torrie House, kifeshire, on Saturday last.
The deceased, who was youngest daughter of the Earl of Erroll
by his second marriage with Miss A. Elliot, and sister to the
present Earl and Lady Isabella Wemyss, bed-chamber woman
to her Majesty Queen Adelaide, was born Jan. 29, 1809, and
had consequently only attained he 32d year. Her Ladyship
married, the Bth of August, 1826, Capt. J. Wemyss, R.N.,
M.P. for Fifeshire. We believe her Ladyship leaves no issues
LORD WILLIAM RessiLL.—Yesterday, in
1683, that noble and distingui,hed patriot suffered death in
Lincoln's Inn-fields, a martyr in the cause of civil and reli-
gious liberty; a cause wilich has so honourably marked the
progress of this family, who have so consistently, and in such an
undaunted manner, used their influence in the dissemination
of the principles of constitutional freedom, even to the present
day. Yesterday was also the anniversary of the death of our
celebrated poet Burns, in 1796. _

WHAT IS A " CONSERVATIVE Hypo-
crisy is the homage which vice renders to virtue." This
homage was the origin of the name of " Conser-
vative." It was the first degree in the sliding
scale. Some of the raw recruits are getting cold,.
and are throwing off the mask. Colonel Sibthorp says,
" I am a Tory ;" and the boy Charles Goring says, " I
hate the name of a Liberal." Sir E. L. Bulwer said at
Lincoln, " I was always surprised that they (the Tories)
should be giving up their old name, to be sneaking under
an alias. It is only bud servants who change their
names when they have been dismissed for delinquency."
—Brighton Herald.
FIGHT AND DEATH OF Two BULLS.-011e
day last week, the gate having been incautiously left
open, two bulls, a large and a small one, met in the yard
of the Eastham Ferry House. This yard is on the edge
of the Mersey, and on one side of it are precipitous rocks.
The bulls rushed at each other, and a fierce battle en-
sued. The small bull had the worst of the fight. He
was thrust over the edge of the precipice, to which he
clung by his fore feet. The large bull seeing his head
just over the edge of the rocks, rushed at him once more.
Headlong he plunged over the precipice; and was killed
instantly on the rocks beneath ; the other, falling on his
hinder parts, escaped death from the fall only to receive
it from the knife the butcher.—Liverpool Courier.
