A LONG TIME AGO.

A CARLTON CLUB CANTICLE.

In the days when we were Placemen
A long time ago,
We ne'er loOked forward to a fall,
•Or dreamed of coming woe ;
We saw the ball was at our feet,
That the game was all our own,
So fleec'd the People, as was meet, .
And bullied e'en the Throne ;
'Twas joy in Tory bower and ball,
'Tw•as joy 'mong high and low,
In the days when wa were Placemen all,
Along time ago !

Then 'We'd lawyers of our own who strove,
To .show our black was white,
With parsons,:.by the score, to prove
Whate'er we did was right ;
And if John Bull—rebellious clown
E'er ventured to look blue,
We bade our soldiers cut him down- ,• •
At glorious Peterloo ;
But if he dared presume to brawl,
We hanged him for a show,.
In the days when we were Placemen all,
A long time ago !
Oh sunny days, how changed your hue !
Too brilliant far to stay,
The Tory cat has had her mew,
It's dog has had his day ;
We're helpless now—we're poor, and lean,
For, like old Mother Church,
That swindling March of Mind, I ween,
Has left us in the lurch ;
In gloom we sit—in gloom rz,.cal.
(Small comfort this, you know,)
The days when we were Placemen all,
A long time ago !
But should those days come back once more,
And soon, I feel they will,
We'll bully as we did before,
And rob and plunder still ;
Dear Mother Church shall find again
Her dear exchequer full,
For we'll squeeze the blood from every vein
Of victimized John Bull ;
Oh, we're the boys, both great and small,
To restore in all their glow,
The days when we were Placemen all,
A long time ago !

At the Insolvent Debtors' Court (Tuesday).
the insolvent, who had been a hairdresser, &c., in Great Wind-
mill-street, Haymarket. was opposed by Mr. Cooke for Mr:
Goring, an attorney, and by Mr. Woodree, for? Mr. Briggs.
It appeared that the insolvent was, besides a hairdresser, a
blacking-manufacturer. Mr. Woodroffe asked him whether he
was not something of a " painter ?" The insolvent said he
I.ainted black eyes." When a gentleman got a black eye, he
could so paint it that it could not be known for
a few days. Mr. Woodroffe read the following sort of
a " card," which the insolvent acknowledged :—"Acci-
dents—Ladies or gentlemen meeting wish a black
eye, can have the same effectually concealed by an application
quite harmless, by S. Collins, Queen's Head-court, Wind-
mill-street, Haymarket, nest door to J. Burns's, Queen's
Head Tavern. N.B.—Ladies and gentlemen attended at
their own residences." He said that his charges varied. Be
charged a respectable person 2s. lid. ; but h s charge was from
Cd. to 2s. 6d., which d. pended, Lot on the blackness of the
eye, but the respectability of the party. The ('out t adjourned
the case for a service, but intimated that the insolvent would
be remanded.
