POVERTY'S NEW YEAR.
(From the Censor, No. 1.)
Hark the glad melody from yonder spire,
So gaily pealing its confused ding-dong:
With mirthful cadences, or booming fire.
Courting responses from the busy throng,
Their souls to cheer.

Ring out, ye harbingers of promised bliss—
For Want's keen agonies, what healing salve,
To feel a privilege so dear as this,
That hungry poverty may live and starve
Another year.

Yes! 'tis a messenger of joy to those
Who clothe in purple, and perfume the air;
But 'tis the warrant of increasing woes,
To wailing Indigence enthrall'd by care,
From shore to shore.

'Tis the sad requiem of twelve months' pangs
In Time's inscrutable abyss entombed,—
Of twelve months' misery, through want's dire fangs—
Alas! of misery to be resumed

See ! how he flourishes Lis withered arm,
And sucks foul marrow from half rotten bones,—
New strength it gives I
See in wild exstacy his eye-balls glare!

And sobs so fervidly his gratitude,

Because he lives.

Britons, be merry then—shout loud and shrill:
What though potatoes or your breadshould
fail—
Gilead had anodynes for every ill,
Thrice-favoured Albion has her Union gaol,
The stay of Hope.

There care-curs'd Industry in peace may rest,
Break stones—rick oakum—on strong gruel fed;
And worn out nature, by long toil bard pressed,
May end its struggles on an iron bed,
Not die by rope.

Laugh, lab'rer, merrily I—cheer smiles around,
Swedes—carrots—cabbage.stumps obstruct the way;
While mangold-wurtzel and beet-root abound— _
And horse-beans, saw-dust, with clean bands of hay,
Are piled en masse.

Heav'n-favour'd Englishmen, strong, brave, and bold,
Let your glad jubilees in chorus ring !
And yet remember, that in days of old,
Great towering Babylon's half-witted king,
Was fed on grass
But, hold ! ye oligarchs, who close the door
Of nature's granary, to raise your rents;
Who preach philanthropy, but starve the poor,
To pay your mortgages and settlements,
Beware and fear.
Time yet will vindicate what Truth decrees—
Judgment will follow for each heart you've wrung;
And you, in agony, may seek of these
A drop of water for your burning tongue,
Ere next new year.

LONDON FIRES IN 'lB4s.—The following is the
official return made by the London Fire Engine Establish-
ment of the number of fires in the metropolis during the
past year, viz. ;—Totally destroyed and seriously damaged,
276 ; partially damaged, 431; total number of fires, 707.
In addition to which there have been 87 chimney alarms
and 81 false alarms, making a grand total of 875 fires and
alarms during the year. This number is considerably less
than that of the year 1844; but the loss of life has been far
greater than bas occurred for several years past, the number
of lives that have been sacrificed by tire in 1845 being 19.
A report reached us yesterday from a generally
well-informed quarter, that the Marquis of Exeter and the
Marquis of Granby have resigned their appointments in
Prince Albert's household.—Brighton Guardian.
