THE LORD MAYOR'S FEAST.

A PARODY.

1Y THE LORD MAYOR'S LAUREATE. *

'Twas at the Lord Mayor's Feast, beloved of men,
Held at Guildhall, November ten,
Aloft in awful state,
London's proud monarch sate,
Upon his civic throne;
His great fat guests were placed -around,
Their apoplectic necks with napkins hound,
So should all Aldermen be crowned ;
The Lady Mayoress by his side,
Sate like a blooming Eastern bride,
In court costume, and beauty's pride ;
Happy, happy, happy, pair,
None but yourselves,
None but yourselves,
None but yourselves, can take the Chair.
The Braham, scant of size,
(Soon as the cloth was ta'en away)
Began the party to surprize,
With songs of Joint Stock companies,
And Dickson', Vigo Bay;
He sang the praise of money,
That turns e'en gall to honey,
Whose magic powers all classes own,
Whose touch can ills assuage,
Cau make a fitol of Solomon,
Of Winchelsea a sage.
The listening guests admire the Hebrew's sound,
" A nightingale, by Jove," they shout around,
" A nightingale, by Jove," the vaulted roofs rebound ;
With langthental ears,
Lord Thompson hears,
Assumes the King,
Affects to sing,
And scents to shake the spheres.
The praise of Turtle then the Braham sung,
Whose sweets are endless as a woman's tongue—
The calipash in triumph comes,
Lick your fingers, twirl your thumbs,
Drenched too in savoury sea,
In comes the calipee,
Now give your throats fair play, it comes, it comes;
Turtle soup and sherry wine,
These, oh these, are joys divine;
Turtle's tit-bite are a treasure,
Turtle is the city's pleasure,
Rich the treasure,
Sweet the pleasure—
Turtle soup is monstrous fine !
Statathed with the sound, the Mayor grew vain,
Ate all his (linnets o'er again,
44.nd thrice he turtle tuek'd, and thrice he swigg'd champaigne.
The Braham saw the liquor rise,
Hie red round cheeks, his glittering eyes,
And while he laughed like Cribb or Carter,
Made hiss change his tune soon carter;
He chose a mournful muse,
Soft pity to infuse,
He sang his crony, 3Lr. Trait*
A bankrupt in estate,
Dunned—dunned—dunned—dunned—
Dunned in Milk-street, No. *3,
And clapped in the King's Bench.
There all unshaved upon the fluor he rolls,
His coat worn out, his stockings full of holes,
With sone to aid, and none to cheer him,
And only two bum-bailiffs near him.
Lord Thompson heard and checked the rising grin,
Downcast in thought, like a descending rocket,
And now and then he stroked his double chin,
And now he tapped with dignity his pocket.
The musical Israelite, laughed at his grief,
So sang a fresh ditty and gave hint relief ;
He sang of the pastry-cook's shop in Cornhill,
(Which, if I mistake not, is flourishing still),
He sang of that virgin's, St. Katharine's'Docks,
Of the rise in potatoes, the fall in the Stocks,
And the shop in 3loorfields which unusually gay,
Tumbled down on a gentleman's head t'otlter day,
And gave hint a terrible boad-ache,• they say ;
These songs, 'tnid a blessed confusion of tongues,
The &elven struck up with miraculous lungs,
Till " Sol " from the ocean, reared high his proud head
As a sign fur the guests to nicancirr to bed,
When some were s, heeled home in a barrow, and others,
Like Cameos, the Elf, and his magical brothers,
Swore, shouted, and fought with true wizard-like force,
And finished the night in the watch-house, of course.

Lord Mayor's Voyage of Discovery to Oxford."

MATRIMONIAL FRAUDS.

A Correspondent of the Times writes as follows :

" Advertisements for wives have become vcsv
common, and I wish your readers to kuow that they
are generally fraudulent attempts to raise the wind,
and inserted by very low fellows.
" I have just heard of a case, where the advertiser
described himself to be a gentleman having a per-
manent situation, &c. The advertiser is in reality
a labouring mechanic, earning 30s. per week or less,
and directed his letters to be sent to a respectable
house, where the house-porter had been engaged to
take them in. The man himself had to borrow
the money for the advertisement, and received
a letter from a lady, stating that she had pro-
perty, &c., in which she requested Y. Z. to meet her
at a stated place and time, with a silk handkerchief
in his hand. Poor Y.Y.. with difficulty borrowed
the money to buy the handkerchief, and met the
lady. Another letter was received from a butcher,
desiring to have all the letters after Y.Z. had done
with them, judging very justly that Y.X. could not
marry more than one woman. One letter Y.Z. re-
ceived was a trick, and Y.Z. got introduced among
a party of fellows, who treated him with such a sa-
lutation of kicks and hootings, that he was glad to
make friend:, with his legs. Several other workmen
have• pawning their things to advertise and to
rig
beengthemselves out as gentlemen."

yesterday at the
the Lieuttnaat-Gever-
Despatches were received
Colonial-office, from Sir G. DON,
Ler of Gibraltar.

The hopes witich we were led to indulge of
his MAJEsry being enabled to visit town, in order to hold
a Council and receive the RE(`OItDEIt'S report, are for the
present disappointed. This we state with deep regret—
both as concerns the health of his MaJlisyy, and the fate
of the long list of unfortunate persons who struggle with
the mental anxiety of life or death in Newgate. His MA-
JESTY, it is said, kid a fresh attack of cold on Saturday
And Sunday, which prevented him from leaving his apart-
ment. 'the truth is—and the truth ought nut to be con-
cealed any longer—it is absolutely necessary that bulletins
of his MAJESTY'S health should 1w published. We further
regret to add, that his Royal Highness the Duke of CL.A.•

subject to spasmodic attacks, which are increasing in their
severity and the danger that accompaniev
