ANTI-JACOBIN-1835.

Glorious days of renovated England !
Period bright of general Reform! I
Hail thy approach with dithyrambic ardour.
" io triumphe !"
But I confess that not a thousand-horse power
Sweeping the lidS of kettle-drums, and trombones
Urged by steam in diapason octaves,
Long as a rail-road,
Could ever serve to adequately sound the
Praises of men, whom patriotic zeal has
Stirr'd (Broom in hand) to purify the state from
Crying abuses !
No—it would exhaust Babbage's machine to
Reckon the great ami.honourable deeds of
Virtuous Whigs—their purity, and just ab-
horrence of lying.
Bribery, tricks, and influence—O'Connell,
Littleton, Poulett, Raphael, and John Key,
Who shall essay to celebrate ? those great and
Steady Reformers !
Patterns themselves of every thing that's honest,
Virtue alone they patronise, and learning;
Filling each place (ye Bore'snongers mark that)
Not with the sons of
Partisans bribed to speechify for office,
Government bullies, paid to cheat " the people,"
But as our town can testify, in all Spring
Rice's appointments)
Ever with men, both clever and distinguiSs
Known to no party, paragons of worth and
Excellence, most pre-eminently fit for
Charity Judges!

CHRISTMAS CONSERVATIVE CHAUNT.

(The latest loyal song, to be sung by
severy supporter of the Consti-

tution.)
" "l'is the voice of our country! from shore unto shore
It calls on each Briton to slumber no more;
It bids us arouse, ere our birthright be gone,
And rally, like men, round the altar and throne.
"The God of that altar, through tumult and war,
Ever beam'd upon England his bright leading star—
Ever pour'd on our fathers his blessing divine,
And ne'er shall their children prove false to his shrine.

" Round the throne of our monarchs for ages have stood,
Saints, heroes, and sages, the great and the good,
Unshaken by foes from without- hath it been,
And it shall not be ciinker'd by traitors within.
" Too.long, oh! too long, has a faction held sway,
That piecemeal would dribble old England away,
That would take from her King and her nobles their own,
And cover with insult the altar and throne.
" But it shall not avail them !—the voice is gone forth
That shall dash, to the whirlwinds their impotent wrath,
When Britain, uproused and indignant at length,
Thus bares, like a giant, the arm of her strength.
" Here we stand for old England, her rights, and her laws,
'Tie the cause of our country—God prosper that cause !
Unimpair'd to our children those rights shall descend,
We will live to preserve them or die to defend !"

The Iron Trade of Staffordshire is stated at the present mo-
ment to be nourishing beyond all precedent : and a further a -
vance of priced•has token place from the beginning of this

COMPENSATION To TOWN CLEnxs.--The following is the
opinion of Sir Frederick Pollock on the remuneratiim to be
made to town clerks who may not be 're-elected :—" I am of
opinion, that the town clerk, if not re-elected, will be entitled
to compensation under sect 66—(the treasury minute is to be
considered as an official announcement of the view taken by
the lords of the treasury, and of the rule which they would
adopt in case of appeal to them, and it is announced, I presume.
to save the trouble of an appeal.) The town clerk is entitled
not to an annuity for life for two-thirds of the annual profits,
but to a compensation equal to that annuity. The compensa-
tion, as I read the clause, is to be by a sum m gross, and not by
Way of annuity.-12th December, 1835.—F. POLLOCK."

A YoutaG GENTLEMAN ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HIS DROTHEII.
—On Monday forenoon, the neighbourhood of lsleworth and
Brentford was thrown into a state of most painful excitement
by a report that a young gentleman, named lionalds, had been
shot by his brother, which, on inquiry, we regret to state, was
found to be too true. From the inquiries we have made, we un-
derstand that two young gentlemen, named John add Hugh
Ronalds, sons of Dr. H. Ronalds, physician, residing at Ken-
sington, the tirst between fourteen and fifteen and the other
eleven years of age, went on Saturday last to the house of their
grandfather and uncle, Messrs. Hugh and J.ohn Ronalds, the
extensive nurserymen and seedsmen at Brentford, to spend the
Christmas holidays. On Monday morning, about ten o'clock,
they both left their grandfather's residence, on a shooting ex-
cursion in the grounds belonging to the firm at isleworth, and,
about hall-past twelve o'clock. immediately after the report of a
gun had been heard by persons near the spot, loud screams
were heard proceeding from the grounds, when, on the arrival
of several of the persons in Messrs. Ronald's employ, attracted
by the screams to the spot, a most melancholy spectacle present •
ed itself, Master Hugh Ronalds being found lying on the ground
weltering in bloiad, the ramrod of a gun protruding from an ex-
tensive wound in the chest of the unfortunate youth, and his
brother, hanging over him in a state bordering on distraction.
Mr. Cooper, surgeon, of Breutford, was instantly -pent for,
who,. on his arrival, ordered the immediate removal of the un •
fortunate gentlemen. to the
.gardener's house in the grounds,
when after extracting the ramrod
.and examining the wound,
he gave no hope of his surviving. At three o'elockDr.Ronalcls.
arrived, in a state of mind moreeasily conceived than described,
having been, fetched in the gig of ti gentleman named Glennie,.
who happened to be passing at the moment the melancholy oc-
currence took place. He remained with his son until death
put an end to. his sufferings about seven o'clock yesterday morn-
ing. InformatiOn of the lamentable occurence was ,in the after-
noon forwarded to Mr. Stirling, the coroner, who immediately
issued his warrant for an inquest to be Veld on the body on
Thursday next. having been unable to ascertain the precise
manner Iu Which the accident occurred, occurred, we abstain how
mentioning the teports in circulation
