COTTON AND CORN.
A BLAU:WU!.
Said Cotton to Corn, t'other day,
As they met and excbang'd a salute—
(Squire Corn in his cabriolet,
Nor Cotton, half-famisled, on foot ;)

" Great Squire, if it is n't uncivil
" To hint at starvation before you,
" Look down on a poor hungry devil,
" And give him some bread, I implore you !"
Quoth Corn then, in answer to Cotton,
Perceiving he meant to make free,—
" Low fellow, you've surely forgotten
" The distance between you and me !

" To expect that we, peers of high birth,
" Should waste our illustrious acres,
" For no other purpose on earth
" Than to fatten curst calico makers !

" That bishops to bobbins should bend,—
" Should, stoop from their Bench's sublimity,
" Great dealers in lawn, to befriend
" Your contemptible dealers in dimity !
" No—vile manufacture ! ne'er harbour
" A hope to be fed at our boards ;
" Base offspring of Arkwright, the barber,
" What claim can'st thou have upon Lords?
" No—thanks to the taxes and debt,
" And the triumph of paper o'er guineas,
" Our race of Lord Jemmys, as yet,
" May defy your whole rabble of Jenuyst!"
So saying,—whip, crack, and away
Went Corn in his cab through the throng,
So madly, I beard them all say,
Squire Corn would be down, before long.

A defalcation of several thousands is said to have
taken place in the cash-account of one of the chief
officers of St. Giles and St. George's, Bloomsbury,
who has been suspended during the investigation of the
affairs now going on.
GOOD POETRY.—The following lines are written
on a public-house sign in a village in Westi,nore-

land :
" John Stanley lives here, and sells good ale
Walk in to get some before it grows stale.
John succeeded his father Peter;
But in th old man's time th' ale was never better."

SPIRITS.--A very thin lady seriously
.asked a wit,
whether he believed in spirits.--" Aye,.madam,"
re-
plied lie, looking her full in the face, " as sure as
you are there."
At a village near Cambridge, Mrs. '111.40k, who
keeps the post7office, is likewise a midwife. - A wag
passing that way, wrote with a diamond, one the glass
of 'her window, " Ladies and Letters safely delivered."
On Sunday.. night last, the Protestant School-ho Use
of Terryglass, Barony of Lower. Ormond, county of
Tipperary, was maliciously burnt to the groUnd.—
Freeman s Journal.

Upon a late occasion at Berlin, the tickets of ad,
mission to the theatre in that City, were at a premiwi

of one thousand percent., in other words, ten times
the price was offered in vain for tickets, to witness the
first performance of Mademoiselle Sonntag, in a fa-
vourite Opera (ItoSsini's ‘, Italian in Algiers"), after
her return from. Paris.

A whimsical return appears in the Mauritius Ga-
zette of the 10th of June last. It is printed by order
of Government, and in pursuance of a proclamation,
made in February, 1825, for the destruction of rats
and birds, which form the plague of the island. The
rats' tails from eight districts amount to the almost

incredible number of 830,473, and the birds' heads 'to
238,549, in one twelveinonth. The document, which
is no unimportant one, is signed G. A.• Barry, Chief
Secretary of the Government.
A female incendiary suffered the extreme penalty of
the law in Hanover, on the 12th ult. The execu-
tioner, at one blow, severed the head from the body
with the sword I The unhapy'wotetan,lt was clearly
proved, on her trial, had wil idly set fire to
,a
dwelling-
house in the town of Elze, which occasioned a most
serious loss of property, including the church, &c.
A double suicide took place On. Saturday, in Rue
St. Martin. Two yoUng ladies, one- 23, and the
other 26 years of age, suffocated themselves with
charcoal in a small stove. All recourse to medical aid
was useless. Not only, were they suffocated with the
vapour of the Charcoal, but horribly burnt in many
places. It appears from the letters they had written
the night before, that family distress drove them to
this desperate act.----/ )(iris Paper.
BIGAMY.---A woman named Kelly stated that she
came from London on Friday night with the intention
to live with her husband (.1.61m Kelly), who is now in
suetrtveircaeLt BosS'a stables, but on her arrival, to her
nishaot,
she found him married to another
woman. She (witness) said she was married to him
at Christ Church in London, and about two years ago
they agreed to part ; she went into service, and now
lately.being out of place, she thought she might get a
situation in Brighton, and live with him. The Magis-
trate asked how she knew him to be married ? She
replied that she had the information from the person
who had acted as bridesmaid at her husband's last wed-
ding. He (Kelly) was then directed to find bail in
54/4 for his appearance on Thursday
but being un-
able he was ordere4 to be confined in the black-hole..
