MY HONORS!, Luau.
You kacrw that I

Am famed for wit and loyalty.
But, cane the Clts, they would prepare
A short address to read the Q---n,
And forced the worthy wise L—d M--►
To head the tribe and grace the scene !
They heeded not the speech I made,
Although I said before 1 ended,
The least they did was soonest mended!
And in bright colours I display'd
The anger of our gracious K
And ask'd what would year Lordship say,
And L—v—rp—l, and C—h !
With every pretty moving thing
I could remember of the note
Your Lordshiplo me kindly wrote,
To help my memory in this case,
And save the city from disgrace.—
Our good L—d M--r was wild with woe,
And ask'd of all " What shall I do?"
Then some of the Commons rose,
And cried, " Ride *ere ea C— rt--s' nose—"
to if this address clothes the city with theme,
May this pea be my poison if I am to blame.
1 grieve to think how this address
Must oar gracious K— distress ;
'Tis pity that his spouse and be
Can't live like my dear wife and me ; '
We. Ilke two teiTLES in a nest,
'Met Ood that we're supreMely bleat ;
And if l ask of Heaven a boon,
It is, that " speedy peace, and soon,"
Between his M—y and wife,
May yet dispel domestic strife.
I've search'd my dictionary over.
Yet cannot PROTOCOL Minter
Pray tell me, it I ask In reason,
Is it •nl'LTl.iT or tarring 1
You know the people in the City
Were never fant'd for being witty,
And if my brother Aldermen
Should ask me what it aeons again,
And I know not. I loose for ever
The credit of being learned sod clever'.
I have some thoughts myself of writing
Odes and Epodes. And if a book
Were to come forth of my inditing,
Perchance the K—tt would git'l a look,
And own no man *rites better than
Sir W--es C—rt--s, Alderman.
No more at present : but when I
Produce my book, perhaps you'll try
Your 10fitlellet with the QUARTERLY !
Which. as with Ministers I vote,
Will not tense an honest lie,
To cram my work down every throat !

Her 'Majesty is understood to have concluded her I
treaty for BranJenburgh-house. She has taken it fur
sin matestlea *attain, together with the beautiful and
extensive grounds attached to it. Major Roper con-
ducted the negotiation on the part of the Margraviue
of Attspach. The mansion was formerly the residence
of the celebrated Bubb Datlington.
' It is said, that a certain Northern Lord lately movedl
the rejection of a City Petition in return tur
a erp-1
posed indipeitg which he sustained, when a yohng
man, in being rejected when be wanted to serve the
Citizens of London as one of their Sheriffs.
The Committee which is appointed to devise the
means of enforcing the attendance of Peers on the
proceedings in the Pains and Penalties Bill against I
the Queen hill, according to report, recunitneud a
further postponement, though we think it improbable, l
as such a step would he obviously injurious to her
M •jesty, and we cannot suppose that the House of
Lords would, for the mere convenience of its Members,
depart from the resolution they have announced. Be-
sides, the Noble Peers have settled their plans of re-
sidence, in order to attend, dc di, in diem, from thetll
17th of August. It is thought that a fine of 1,000/.1
will be imported on those who shall absent themselves
wit hunt sufficient reason assigned upon honour. Peers
above 7U years of age are to be excused attending, and
over those who have not taken their seats in the pre-
sent Parliament the House has no power. This pro-
ceeding will necessarily keep Loudon and its vicinity
crowded with company during the autumn.
Bosom, or Leivta.—A Requisition, signed by up-
wards of 130 inhabitant householder+, has been pre-
sented to the chief of cers of this place, fur the put-
pose of convening a Town Meeting, to take into con-
sideration the propriety of voting an Address to her
most gracious Majesty Queen Caroline of England, on
her return to this country ; and, further, fur instruct-
ing the Representatives of the Borough to support the
cause of the Queen against every unconstitutional
measure that may be taken against her. 't he Meeting
is expected to be held early in the ensuing week: and,
from the interest which the subject has excited, it is
anticipated, that it will not only be more numerously
bat more respectably attended than any precious Meet-
ing on any former occasion.—(Brighton fic•ed.)
The ancient and independent city of Rochester has
voted an :address to the Queen, which is to be pre-
sented to her Majesty by the late and present Ment-
ion for the city, accompanied by Mr. Larkin and Mr.
lileskinsopp.
In compliance with a requisitinn, numerously and
respectably signed. our Chief Magistrate has con-
vened a general meeting of the freemen and inhabit-
ants at tire Uaildhall, on Friday, to take into Catli-
&ratios the Bill of Pains sod Penalties now in pro-
gress through khettnnse of Lord' against her Majesty
the Queen.—(terbitry Paper.)
The rapid growth of Brighton is manifested by the
comparative number of Freeholders from that town
who voted at the following contested elections for the
count/ of Sussex. In 'haslet-don contest of MK
the limber of
sFreeholders, who voted from Baighton,
was Se ; in ells contest of UN, it was 84 ; but in
Oat if the resent year, it amounted to 331.. =This
