ET AN IX-WHIPPER-IN.

Where are you going, Sir Tory, Sir Tory,
Where are you going so fast ? -
Are the speeches you've made and the deeds you have done,
The vows you have sworn and the fame you have won,
Forever forgotten and past ?

Oh, turn thee and help us, Sir Tory, Sir Tory ;

Resume thine old battle array ;
And with one savage whisk of thy Waterloo sword,
Cut the throat of Reform both at home and abroad,
Or there'll soon be the Devil to pay.
Repeal and Rebellion, Sir Tory, Sir Tory,

Are beating their noisy rattan,
And the Whig in his Club, and the Rad in his ramble,
Are practising both for a Property scramble,
Led on by sly Melbourne and Dan.
We need more than ever, Sir Tory, Sir Tory,
Thy valour to set us all free;
Then where—oh, thou hero unrivalled in story 1--
Oh, where art thou going, thus reckless of glory ?-.-.

KING'S THEATRE.

Otello was performed on Saturday evening, when Made-
moiselle Grisi appeared for the first time this season as Desde-
mona, with Rubini as the Moor, Lablache as Don Ramiro,
Ivanhoff as Rodrigo, and Tamburini as lago. Excellent as
the performance of Mademoiselle Grisi in this opera was con-
sidered last season, there was a general disposition to look
upon her personation of the arduoUs character of Desdemona
on Saturday as an improvement on the past. This lady,
however, cannot have had any stage practice in the part since
last year, as the opera of Otello has not been once given in
Paris during the season which has just closed there. In some
respects her performance is inferior to one only, in others it is
inferior to none. In dignity and command of vocal and dra-
matic expression she is not yet equal to Madame Pasta ; but
these are qualifications which further study and a maturity of
judgment, formed by another very few years, cannot fail to
impart where a disposition to perfection is so great. A new
ballet, entitled Zephir Berger, was given after the opera. It
is a pretty trifle, in which shepherds and shepherdesses in
abundance figure with sundry Cupids, for whose presence
therein we shall not attempt to account. No should we un-
dertake to give any outline of the meaning of what this Zephir
Berger is at from beginning to end, excepting indeed that he
enables M. Perrot to figure in all descriptions of pas with su-
perior agility and grace, and puts Mademoiselle Clara in such
contrast with the latter as is surely not advantageous to that
lady. A pas de deur between Mesdemoiselles Varin and
Addle placed the latter lady in precisely the same situation as
Mademoiselle Clara with Perrott. Mademoiselle Varin is, in
fact, the only first-rate dancer of her sex of this season's corps
de ballet. The latter, with all its strength, is greatly in want
of half a dozen peenziers sujets from the female dancers of the
Academie Royale. Taglioni herself would be badly off with-
out them.

Sir T. B. Lethbridge has, we understand, sub•
scribed the sum of 25/. for the purpose of aiding the zyurn oi
Lord John Russell.—Devonport Independant.

The Conservative press greatly triumphs on account
of the late meetings at Tavistock, as well as other places in
Devonshire, where the business of the day is to denounce the
Duke of Bedford, as well as Lord John Russell, as the worst
enemies of the Church. By-the-bye, the meeting at Tavi..
stock consisted of sixteen individuals, eight of whom were
Parsons perhaps, including " The Bishop." We now beg
to ask these Tory oracles, whether a certain Mr. Bray did
not accept two livings from the Duke of Bedford, which he
now holds ? and whether he does not, at this moment, enjoy
two hundred a-year from the generosity of his Grace, in order
to give him a proper income as a Clergyman ? We ask
them, moreover, whether this conscientious divine, after re-
ceiving the largesses in question, did not, at the last con-
test, appear "in propria parson-a," and give a plumper
against Lord John ? We dare them to answer this. 0,
shame ! where is thy blush ? Verily, verily, the less such
creatures bray in future the better. But enough of Devon-
shire and its Phillpottians : we must now turn to Suffolk,
in order to ask Dr. Etough (a Magistrate as well as a Par-
son) how he can reconcile what he said at a late dinner at
Ipswich, with the common principles of English justice or
of Christian charity ? He is reported to have denounced
Lord John Russell, and to have called for three groans for
the Duke of Bedford, simply because he is the father of Lord
John. One word on this subject is unnecessary. The only
question is, " Are these Churchmen mad ?" 0, Dr. Etough,
Dr. Etough 1 " call you this backing your friends ? A plague
on such backing I"—Morning Paper.
