TO THE REVEREND

ONE OF THE SIXTEEN REQUISITIONISTS OF NOTTINGHAM.

What, you, too, my ******, in hashes so knowing,
Of sauces and soups Aristarchus profest !
Are you, too, my savoury Brunswicker, going
To make an old filol of yourself, with the rest?
Far better to stick to your kitchen receipts ;
And if something to tease you must have, for variety,
Go, study how Ude, in his " Cookery" treats
Live eels, when he wants them for polish'd society.'
Just snuggling them in, 'twixt the bars of the fire,
He leaves them to wriggle and writhe on the coals..
In a manner that Horner hi►tsself would admire,
And wish, 'stead of eels, they were Catholic sods.
We tells us, the fish little suffering feels,
While Papists, of late, have more sensitive grown ;
So, take my advice, try your hand at live eels,
And, for once, let the other poor devils alone.
I have ev'n a still better receipt for your cook,—
" How to make a goose die of confirm'd hepatitis,"—f
And, if you'll, 14 once, fellow-feelings o'erlook,
A well-tortured goose a most capital sight is.
First, catch him, alive,—make a good, steady fire,—
Set your victim before it, both legs being tied,
(As,—if left to himself,—he might wish to retire)
And place a large bowl of rich cream by his side.
There, roasting by inches, dry, fever'd, and faint,
Having drunk all the cream, you so civilly laid, off,
He dies of as pretty a liver-complaint
As ever sleek parson could wish a pie made of.
Besides, only think, my dear One of Sixteen,
What an emblem this bird, for the epicure's use meant,
Presents of the mode in which Ireland has been
Made a tid-bit for your's and your brethren's amusement.
Tied down to the stake, while her limbs, as they quiver,
A slow fire of tyranny wastes by degrees,_
No wonder disease should have swell'd up her liver,
No wonder you, Gourmands, should love her disease.
* The only way, Monsieur Ude assures us, to get rid of the
oil so objectionable in this fish.
f A liver complaint. The process by which the livers of geese
are enlarged for the thmous Pates de foie d'ole.—Times.

Lord SALISBURY has directed his agents to
introduce a clause in all his leases, prohibiting the occupa-.
tion of any part of his houses and estates by Jews. —Lime-
rick Chronicle.

With some surprise the leading interests and
the independent yeomanry of Shropshire will learn, that a
Brunswick Club, alias an Orange club, is kindly at-
tempted to be formed fur them. No public meeting is
write to each other, appoint a meeting
called; but a few gentlemen, whose names the county will
easily
yg
tghtelemsss'elv,s, g,ft a few recruiting serjeants to canvass
for signatures, meet at the Lion Inn, and suddenly an anti-
Catholic Association springs forth in the quiet town of
Shrewsbury ! By the rules of the society, each member
ipay 55. annually, and for his simplicity for so doing
l: to pay
to be nicknamed " an original". (see rule
That
many highly respectable indiyiduals, and with good mo-
tives, have been draw into this affair, there is no doubt.
But while we condemn the Catholics for their clubs
and associations, why shall we imitate their conduct,
which we condemn ? Why shall the curses of dis-
union, and bad neighbourhood, and divided society,
which destroy the happinei Of Ireland, light upon
united and happy England ? Why shall the os.;:iet, hos-
pitable comity of Salop, and the towii of Shrewsbury,
the greatest thoroughfare Of Irisinneo and catholic fluid,
lies—why shall the people of this county be enlisted into
a faction, for the pprpoSe of insulting the feelings of the
Irish aa, thy Ma through our town and county, and of
flinging dirt iu their faces—in the faces of Our bentfao.
tors ?Do these Club-men understand the subject of the
Catholic claims
better than the Duke of WELttlioAoN
and Mr. PEEL ? Do they know what io 4tter, for the
union and prosperity of our county than thote Nitlisters?
