ROCHESTER'S lines on his Sovereign are hacknied ;
but it is not so generally known that the accomplished
satirist, much about the same time, wrote the following
doggrel on Her Majesty's bed-chamber door :

Here Hes Queen KATZ,
Our Sovereign's mate,
Of the Royal House of Lisbon.
The Devil take HYDE,
And the Bishop beside,
Who made her bone of his bone !

The consideration in which literary men are held by
the Transatlantic Republics is highly creditable to the
respective Governments, and forms a striking contrast to
their treatment in Europe. There are at this moment
three men of eminent literary acquirements, and well
known by their productions, employed in this country.
Don JOSE MADRID, a lyric poet, whose works are de-
servedly esteemed in Spain and throughout the South
American States, is the Ambassador from Columbia ;
while Don MAN UEL GOROSTIZ A, one of the most po-
pular dramatic writers of Spain, represents Mexico. In
order that he might not be left behind in this race of
liberality, one of the earliest acts of the new President of
the United States was that of naming WASHINGTON
IRVING, the author of the Sketch Book and the History
of Columbus, to be Secretary of the American Legation
in London.

THE ADVANTAGE OP A SQUINT.—A gentleman in
the South of Ireland received a visit lately from a
party of Rockites, who were armed with sticks. He had
just time to seize a pistol, which he cocked and pre-
sented towards the party. "Be off," said he " you set
of villains, or I'll shoot one of you, at all events. I have
my eye upon you, this moment." Luckily for himself
se was blessed with that happy pictorial obliquity of
visio,h which caused each particular ruffian to fancy him-
ael(to be the marked man, and they withdrew without
obtaining the spoil they had come for.
Civic Di Lms ma..--The Lord Mayor of Dublin has
been waging a civil war with the fish-factors in Pill-lane
about their lawful whereabout. The other morning, as
he stood in the steps of a hall-door, ordering the move-
ment of his police amongst the Amazonian mermaids
who resisted his authority, his Lordship, waxing warm
at the invasion of his dignity, was heard two several
times to cry aloud, " I am the Lord Mayor or I am not ;
lam the Lord Mayor or lam not." " Lord Mayor, or
lord Mayor not," said a sturdy fishmonger, " you must
obey the laws all as one as another." Here is fine
levelling
