EMPIRIC:US REDUt
pray, don't you remember MARTIN BREt ?
A wise and a handy Doctor was he :
BRODlial, and LEAKE, and SOLO lON,
by this Doctor's praCtiee were undone;
For he drove to the Devil all ails and ills)
With a box of his famous Sanative Pills:

tie gave his advice to all the town,
And he sold his pills for half-a-crown;
He gave his advice fur charity's sake;
Which was—a dose of his pills to take.
While to every patient he answer'd still,
" 1 give my advice, but I sell my pill."

Just at the corner of Arundel-street,
MARTIN BREE you were sure to meet;
With a post, and a lamp, and a private door)
Always at home from ten to four;
IVith delicate treatment and secrecy—
What a wealthy Doctor grew MAartN.BREE!

For thus to his patients did MAnriN say—
bly regular terms are—no cure nu pay;
But MARTIN always made himself sore,
On a better plan—no pay, nu cure:
And, whether his patients were cured or no,
The Doctor unpaid did never go.

FLINT.

Then he sold to a Rival his good will,
In post and in gallipot, lamp and pill;
And bought in Yorkshire a sung estate;
And the Doctor turu'd to a Magistrate;
While he changed to Minerva from Mercury—
What a changeable Doctor was MAItTIN BnEe!

But MARTIN was much too wise, to cork
nis wonderful talents up in York.
So to publish over the North his cunning,
On the West-Riding his brains were running; -
And says he, " Quite sick of the loyal pill I am,
" Which pureed the country of Lord FITZWILLIAm."

It obliged this vet y ill•tssed Physician,
In a hurry to throw up his Commission
And it keck'd against his stomach, till he
STAPY LTD?: back into MARTIN BREE.
Pray who can doubt a pill so stout,
As to turn a Magistrate inside out ?

And, when this wonderful State Quack
To the Metropolis has come back,
If Englaud of too much peace is sick,
He'll cure her body-politic:
While the Reformers boldly urge on
MARTIN BREE to he the State-Surgeon.

But how will Doctor WATSON bear
A rival Doctor his fame to share ?
Or endure with decent resolution
His practices on the Constitution?
Two of a trade can never agree:

Doctor ‘ITArsoN and Dvaut Bact.

, With MARTIN SO well the business suits,
In knowing the natures and names of Roots;
That to him the practice properly falls,
• Of physiehing the Radicals•.
And culling such simples might send Doctor Butt
On an expedition to Botany.

For nothing half such excellent ware is,
As his famous " Pi!Wet Salutaris
Except a decoction of Min!), applied
Under the jugular of the left side;
While the Patient takes the air before
The portico of the Debtor's door.

Then try it, we pray thee, Doctor dear,
Gently rubb'cl at each Radical's ear !
And; if thou can'st venture so near the shelf,
Alakethe first experiment on thyself:
And we'll give to thee a double fee,
Oh DOCTOR MARTIN STAPYLTON BRE&

DRURY-LAN E.—The Opera of Guy Mannering
was represented again at this Theatre on Sault day,
and strengthened by the re-appearance of BRAU AM

fine order, and he received the warm applause of
a numerous audience.—BUTLEß, who has pre-
viously performed the part of Dundie Dinmont, as-
sumed it again on Saturday. He is' evidently a
useful Actor.

DASHING PICKPOCKFT.—Ou Saturday, n youth
very fashionably dressed, culling himself-William
Henry Cleik, apparently about 17 years of
age, was examined before GEORGE FARRANT,
Esq., the Sitting Magistrate, at the Public
Office, Bow-street, for picking-pockets at Co-
vent Garden Theatre the night preceding. Mr.
James Brandon, Box-keeper of Covent Garden
Theatre, stated, that on Friday night having re.
ceived information that a person of suspicious.
character was in the stage-box, he ordered Donald-
son, the Constable attending the Theatre, to watch
him. Witness went and looked through the glass of
the stage-box-door, and saw the prisoner in the
second row, when he pat his hand to the hack of
a Gentleman's coat pocket who sat in the first
row. The prisoner then changed his position, and
removed to the third row, when he was perceived
to have a small penknife in hiS hand. Witness
ordered Donaldson to take him into custody,
and went himself into the stage-box, and reqnest-
ed the Gentlemen in it to search their pockets ;
Mr. Sanford, of the Albany, directly missed.
his snuff-box. George Donaldson stated, that he
was ordered by Mr. Brandon to watch the pri-
soner, who was in the stage-box ; and on the pri-
soner's .coming out, he laid hold of him. The pri-
soner struggled and tried to get away, and forced
himself into a corner where he was secured. J.
Townsend, another Constable, was present at the
struggle, and heard something fall, which he
picked up and then called out that he had foiltur a
snuff-box, which Mr. Sanford identified as being
the one he lost. Mr. Sanford corroborated the
former testilnOny.—The risimer was cocumited
to Nevrgete for trial.
