THE

L'S PROOKESS.-A NEW POEM.

There have been so many devil's walks and devil's progresses, that
.he devil himself might almost grow tired of them. A fcw touches
of the new poem are added :
" He took a drive to the India-House,
Where he heard much pleasant news,
The shooting of ninety-five Seapoys,
And the burning of six Hindoos . '
" He saw a pauper sent to the wheel
For starv!ng and mendicity ;
And he thought of England's equal laws,
And a hungry Briton's felicity !
" He saw a Bow-street officer
Bear witness against a thief ;
And a magistrate pocket a parish bribe,
For refusing a pauper relief ;
And the Devil likened the one and the other
To the sons of Israel, selling their brother !"
" The devil went to the Opera-house,
At eight, on Saturday night,
And many things there he both saw and heard,
That tickled his ear and sight !
The manager's clock struck the hour of twelve,
Just as the ballet was done,
so the devil's watch must have been too fast,
Fur it pointed nearly one !

DAY, MARTIN, A
I,have a garden wall, friend Hunt,
With which thou makest free
To daub all o'er with chalk-scrawl'd puff's
Of blacking sold by thee.
But, Master Hunt, I do protest
Against thy puffish scrawl ;
Such quackery I dislike to see
Upon my garden wall.
Thou say'st thy blacking is the best
And cheapest in the town—
Though Day and Marlin, against that,
Would bet thee many a crown.
But, even granting, thine's the best,
want it not at all ;
Thy wares, friend Hunt, are nought to me ;
Then, whetefore chalk my wall ?
They tell me thou'rt an orator—
A man of many a word ;
And that thou never hickest lungs
To make thy ivords be heard ;
They say thou rul'st the rabble rout
Of Rads in Common Hall :
And perhaps thou dost ;-- but still I ask—
Why chalkest thou my wall ?,
They tell me thou'rt a patriot—
So staunch and eke so true,
That thou would'st not accept of place

Should it be offered you!. -
It may be so for aught I know—
I cannot tell at all;
But I am sure thou halt no right
To chalk my garden wall !
They say thou hatcat heartily
Both Cobbett and Burdett;
And that thou rairst against the Church,

And gin and heavy wet:
They say, too, thou would gladly black
Boots both for great and small :
But all this does not warrant thee,

Friend Hunt, to chalk my wall!
Thou say'st the poor-folk of this land
Are stupid dolts and sots—
Unfitted for " pure liberty"
By love of priests and pots.
But let me ask thee, Mister Hunt—
Whom pot nor priest enthrals;
Is it pure liberty to chalk
With pail thy neighbour's walls?

Herald.

The crops are generally reported to be fine in quality, and above the
average ; and may be considered superior to anything of late years.
This seems to be the general report of most counties ; it is decidedly so
for Lincolnshire.—Lincoln Herald.
A great deal of corn is cut in the Fens, and on nearly all the other
lands in the neighbourhood ; the harvest is fast drawing to a close.
The crops every where are remarkably good.—Huntingdon Mercury.
The harvest is not yet general in Scotlard, but there ate many fields
cut, and if the weather is favourable the harvest will be general towards
the end of the week.—Storkport Advertihcr.
We have been favoured with another gloriou. harvest this week, in which
more wheat has been stacked, and in better condition, than has been
known for several seasons. A few more days' propitious weather, and
the greater proportion of the corn will be safe in the barns and stacks of
the Industrious farmer.—Brighton Herald.

VICTIMIZING.—This is anew term for swindling. A
professor of the art, named James Jones, was examined before the
Lord Mayor on Thursday. His plan wad to give a liberal order for
goods to tradesmen, and then borrrow a small sum, having forgot
his purse on leaving home. In this way he was said to have duped
upwards of two thousand persons One case is highly ludicrous :
The prisoner rung at an accoucheur's night-bell, and requested
that the medical gentleman would instantly put on his clothes, and
go to visit his wife, who was in the pangs of labour. " Surely,"
said the doctor, " I'll go to her this moment," and he started
up. He had scarcely got his trousers on, when another ring at
the bell introduced the visitor. " Doctor," said he, " will my wife
require a nurse " A nurse !to be sure she will. Get one imme-
diately." " Bless me," said the prisoner, " what shall Ido ? No
nurse will come at this late hour without money, and. in my hurry, I
have not brought out a halfpenny with me. " Never mind that,"
said the doctor, pulling on his boots, " I'll let you have what will an-
swer the purpose," and he handed two half-crowns to the prisoner,
who immediately departed. The doctor followed, but what was his
vexation at finding that the house to which he had been directed was a
police station, and there was no woman there except one that had been a
mother 50 years ago. The fellow was remanded for another exami-
nation, as there are many more victims forthcoming.
PRINCE POLIGNAC.—About two years since, Polignac,
who was then French Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, was
passing in the packet-boat from Dover to Calais. Whilst walking the
deck, he observed a wretched being of a fellow-countryman on board
" I remember you," said Polignac ; " where did I first become ac-
quainted with you ?" " You saw me," was the man's reply, "in a
house of recovery at Paris, to which Napoleon had consigned you after
he had pardoned you ; you were a prisoner on parole, but afterwards
made your escape ; and you will please to remember too, that I won
three small crown pieces of you over a bottle; you were unable to pay
me, and are still in my debt for them. Polignac turned away from the
man, not a little disconcerted by his impudence, and shortly sent the
poor fellow three louis by the hands of his valet ; but his creditor re-
turned the fifty-one francs of change to him. This individual was
a "trolling playa, and is said to be the person who recognised Po-
lignac at Granville, on the morning of the 16th instant.—Court
Journol.
SURRENDER IN DISCHARGE. or BAIL.—The act of
the Ist William 4, cap. 70, passed 23d July, 1830, entitled "An Act
for the more effectual Administration of Justice in England and Wales,"l
sect.2l enacts—" That a defendant held to bail on mesne process, may
be rendered in discharge to the prison of the court out of which process
isst.ed, or to the common gaol of the county in which he was arrested.
For this purpose the defendant or his bail shall obtain a judge's order, '
and lodge such order with the gaoler of the county gaol, and a notice
in writing of such lodgment, and of the defendant's being in custody,
signed by the defendant or bail, shall be delivered to the plaintiff's at.
tothey or agent, and die sheriff or other person responsible for the cus-
tody of debtors in such county gaol shall, on such render, be charged
with the custody of such defendant, and the bail wholly exonerated hem
liability." This set comes into operation on the 12th of October next.
