The Bold Governor Eyre and the Bulls of

Exeter-hall.
--
(A SONG FOR THE STREETS.)
(From Punch.)
On the right of the Strand, as you walk to the West,
The street of all London the finest and best,
You'll see a Greek word on a portico tall :
The building behind it is Exeter Hall.
There people resort to hear spouters :Anse
Mahommedans, Catholics, Pagans, and Jews;
Ex-drunkards talk cant, Irish clergymen brawl,
And fanatics howl nonsense in Exeter Hall.

The victim just now of its blather and blare,
Is a brave English gentleman, Governor Eyre,
Who, for saving Jamaica with powder and ball,
Has roused all the malice of Exeter Hall.

The Hall has its Pets, whom you must not attack,
And chiefly it pets Quashi-Bungo the black ;
And if Quashi-Bungo quotes words from St. Paul,
It 's ready to kiss him, Exeter Hall.
At times Quaslii-Bungo from Scripture refrains,
And chops up white people, and scoops out their brains ;
Uprises at once the philanthropist squall,
" Of course you provoked him," says Exeter Hall.
For some horrible murders performed by the Pet,
Eyre gave him a lesson he 'll never forget.
" You monster, you wretch! Quashi-Bungo to maul ;
" We 'll hang you at Newgate," cries Exeter Hall.
" We'll hear," says John Bull, " hold your jabber and row,
I've known my old friend, Mr. Eyre, before now."
" He's a Nero, a Jeffreys, a Governor Wall,"
Cries, screaming with passion, mad Exeter Hall.
Now John stops his ears to fanatical spite,
And suspects Quashi-Bungo was served very right,
But he'll hear the whole story, not told in the drawl
And spasmodic bewailings of Exeter Hall.
But if, when the tale of Jamaica is told,
The Queen gives her thanks to the Governor bold,
What a bellow will burst from the favourite stall
Of the big bulls of Basilan in Exeter Hall!

MARKETS.—This Day.

MARK LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate. The few dry samples on offer
changed hands at full prices, but damp produce was very
difficult of sale at Monday's currency.
There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands.
The amount of business transacted was by no means ex-
tensive ; nevertheless the market ruled steady at full

prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request
at late sales.
Barley, of which thero was a fair supply on offer, sold
slowly at late prices. Good and fine malting qualities chiefly
commanded attention.
Malt sold slowly at last Monday's currency.
The supply of oats on sale was moderate. The trade
ruled quiet, at late rates.
Both beaus and peas met a slow sale, at previous quo-
tations.

Flour was in fair demand, at full quotations.
