THE RE-SWEARING OF SPECIAL CONSTABLES.

The Lord Mayor has sent to each.of his brother Alder-
men a letter, of which the following is a copy:—
" The Lord Mayor has the pleasure to inform Alder-
man
conjunction with the law-officers of the Corporation,
have given an opinion that the steps already taken in
the City preparatory to the 10th of April render it un-
necessary to re-swear the special constables. The Lord
Mayor requests that Alderman
make a return to him by Saturday next of the names and
residences of persons in his ward who are willing to take
upon themselves active duties in co-operation with the
Commissioner of Police."

SONG OF THE SEDITIONIST.
(From Punch.)
Come, all lovers of sedition tor its own delightful sake;
Come, all disaffected rascals, a disturbance let us make;
Come, at midnight let us meet, ye revolutionary crew,
With no purpose in particular but rioting in view.

Whilst in almost every capital of Europe there's a row,
Brother vagabonds, shall we alone continue quiet now?
Whatl of rapine, pillage, massacre, and all that sort of
thing,
Fellow ♦illains, is it only we that shall not have our
swing?

No! my housebreakers and pickpockets, my thieres and
cut-throats, no;
In our nightly mob assembled, what we're made of let us

show:
Let us bellow forth our rancour, let us howl and yell our

hate
'Gainst all rule, and law, and order whatsoever in the state
Let us shout "Assassination!" whilst our Fussell reoom:

mends
Our approval of the sentietent—and take the hint, my
friends;
Let us shriek aloud for pikes, and with the Patriot sym-
pathise,
Who suggested flinging vitriol into British soldiers' eyes.
Should the Guards appear, however, at that moment in
our sight,
We must set to work and cheer them, you observe, with
all our might;
For you know they're awkward customers, and 'tis our
wisest plan,
With ourselves to make them fraternize, if anyhow we
can.

Then, in long procession forming, all the thoroughfares
we'll thread,
To create intimidation and excite alarm and dread:
Whooping treason as we march at night's unseasonable
hour,
Breaking windows, lads, and doing all the mischief in
our power.

Should the specials or policemen interfere to stop our
course,
Knock them down, bravo comrades—if of very much
inferior force:
If it happens that our numbers should be only ten to one,
Let them catch us if they're able, whilst we nimbly run,
boys, run.

Shan't we have our insurrections—shan't we have our
barricades?
Shan't we sing our Marseillaises Yes, we will, my
jolly blades.
Down with all our institutions—let them crumble in the
dust.
Shan't we have a revolution? Yes, we shall, we will,
we must.

What with trade though wages perish? Plunder still we
shall not lack;
Let Old England's power and greatness go to ruin and to
wrack!
In our infamy we'll revel, we will glory in our shame;
Ape the foreigners, my hearties, and renounce the Eng-
lish name.

THE CHARTISTS.—Last night a meeting of Chartists
was held at Farringdon Hall, which was convened for the
purpose of taking into consideration the subject of trial
by jury. Mr. Alexander Campbell, who was called to
the chair, addressed the meeting on the necessity of at-
tending to the social condition of society, and remarked
that the chief object of the Government was directed to
the enactment of poor-laws and other laws, leaving the
industrious classes to " elbow" themselves through the
world for the advancement of their own interest. Mr.
W. Cooper proposed the first resolution, which was to
the effect of advocating the principle of unanimity among
juries. Mr. Henry Hetherington seconded the resolution,
which was agreed to nem. con. Another resolution to
nearly the same effect, was adopted, when thanks were
voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Desperate Wound in the
Thigh Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract
of a Letter from Mr. J. S. Munday, farmer, residing at
Kennington near Oxford dated March 31, 1848. To Pro-
fessor Holloway :—Sir, Having received a wonderful
cure by the application of your Ointment to a dreadful
wound in my thigh, and from which I had long suffered,
I feel it my duty to acknowledge the speedy and extra-
ordinary effects produced by your valuable Ointment
and Pills in my own case, having previously used several
other remedies without success. I have also had vari-
ous other opportunities of witnessing the beneficial
results attending their use among my labourers. Sold
by all Druggist! and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, Loudon.
INTERESTING DISCOVERY AT: INVERARY.—A
letter from Inverary says, that some of his Grace of
Argyll's workmen, employed in draining part of the
home farm, have alighted on a piece of masonic struc-
ture, which was found to enclose a fountain of most
valuable mineral water. The park in which the well has
been found has long had the appellation of the "Physic
Well Park ; but from its having been filled up years
ago, and haring also been ploughed over, few were
aware that such a spring was in existence.—Edinburgh
Resider.
