CONTRACT FOR HAIR-31,H14T.
Department of the Storekeeper General of the Navy.
Somerset-place, Ist Aug., 1860.
THE COMMISSIONERS for EXECUTING the
OFFICE of LORD HIGH ADMIRAL of the UNITED
KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and IRELAND, DO
HEREBY GIVE NOTICE, that on TUESDAY, the
21st instant, at Two o'clock, they will be ready to treat
with such Persons as may be willing to CONTRACT for
supplying her Majesty's several Dock Yards with

Tho' cool of blood, and fishy of mood,
Even LEWIS was stirred with pride,
As with conscious face he took his place,
With two old Bills at his side—
One yclept City Corporation Reform-
-14;43ne liighways—Often-Ssied.
And SIR CHARLES DE WOOD, bewildered ho stood,
And you scarce his head might see,
For the crowd of Bills the space that fills
Where SIR CHARLES his head should be—
All Indian Bills, with porcupine quills,
A-bristling angrily.
Mere blithe M.P.'s I trove than these,
St. Stephens did ne'er espy :
Never blither bills, ignored the ills
That no Bill may defy
Woe, woe, to see their Februrarie,
And to think of their July !

FYTTE SECOND—JULY.
The spring is past, the year flies fast,

The Session draggeth sore :
Till the summer that is no summer
E'en now is well nigh o'er,
And each bored M.P. doth sigh to be free,
And will brook to be bored no more.

Then it's up and spake Lord Palmerston,
And a cruel smile smiled he,—
"Now bring your Bills, your little Bills,
My Ministers, to me ;
That I may choose what Bills, and whose,
Are fittest y-slain to be."

Then up and spake the Bankruptcy Bill,
That at Bethell's knee did stand—
" Now, father, dear, ye'll save me here,
For all this Lord's command ;"
But with rueful look, he the innocent took,
And stabbed with his own right hand !

Night after night—'twas a sorry sight—
Each sire, against his will,
With hasty knife a-taking the life
Of his own unhappy Bill—
And their Lord, the while, with his cruel smile,
Still crying, " kill—kill—killl"

Night after night—'twas a sorry sight
To see those bodies piled
All under the table of the house,
So innocent, and mild I
And Palmerston, with wicked will,
Upon the murderers smiled !

Till, one by one, the work was done.
And of all that gamesome rout,
Brought in, with glee, in Februarie,
But three or four came out :
And with brand of Cain, for his children slain,
Each Ministere went about !
