THE STATESMAN.

THE BULL AND THE BLACK COW DROWNED IN
THE SLOP TUB.

On those demoralised coasts where smuggling end
shipwreck are practised to support the natives, a
BEACON, or false light is held op on the adjacent
heights to mislead the shipping among the rocks and
quicksands, and thereby reader them immediate eh-
jects of destruction and plunder, so It is in politics.
A Beacon is held out to mislead 'the *wary, whose
object is evidently plunder ; a few of the depredators,
who made the first blaze, got sosmorchl lathe confla-
gration that the Doetor himself has given them ep for
loswas he says, tliere are strong symptoms of gent
grese and mortifieatiOn, and sent them to the Hospital
of Incurables at Coventry.
This Beacon l= so terrified a Bull and a Black Cow
that they run through every muddy kennel and filthy
ditch, from Lancaster,to London, until both exhaust-
ed, fell headlong in a tab of dirty slops, near the Obe-
Usk, is Fleet-street. This boll has, for some time,
been the pest of its neighbourhood, and has attempted
to gore many, particularly females, it been severely
beaten and impounded -for the most infamous tres-
passes pa Its 'neighbours ; no fence was too high' felt
him, and no boundary sufficient to keep him at
peace with the adjacent herds. It is said, his
sire, the OM Fiddle►, had taught him to play
Alley Caoxse, by which he was sent to breed
black cows in the Isle of France, where he went by the
wawa Cook and sometimes Coachman, but his se-
eroacbasests there iodated his keepers to have him
impounded and sent home as worse than bad. He
then formed a treaty offensive, but not otherwise with
a Black Com, a beast of the most mischievous note.—
This nefarious nasty Black Cow, at last became es
disgusting to all the cattle in the country, that it was
impounded, and kept six months on spare diet, which
made it even more venomous, and when it could iitd

trespass on its neighbours in private, it kept bellowing
and shouting in the bosses and highways. In fact it

was thought it would do some mischief to the women,
as it had a most infamous predeliction against the first
woman in the country. This Black Coto and mad Dull
have lately fallen into a slop lab, where they now
waddle overwhelmed with mud. A mad Doctor has re-
commended phlebotouty, but it is objected to by other
professors, least he might have bit them and render
their as mad as himself. 'Tis supposed a proclamation
will shortly issue from Whitehall, offering a reward for
any one who can render them comp°, modes within
twelve calendar months, but that is generally thought
will take some years to effect, as the agitated and im-
poverished state of the sloptetb, is too obvious to be
longer doubted, so mach se tbst be is advertised as aa
insane runaway.

Her Serene Highness Princess Esterhatty and family
arrived at No. 5, Wellington-crescent, Ramsgate, about
seven o'clock on Saturday evening (6th instant,)
having been only seven hours and 20 minutes on her
journey from London. In compliment to the Princess
for the partiality evinced in the selection of that town
for her residence, she was received with a band of
music, and arches were erected in King-street, illumi-
nated with variegated lamps, ender which she passed
to her residence. At 8 o'clock on Sunday morning,
12 rounds were fired from the battery on the East
Cliff, in honour of her arrival.—(keatish Gazette.)
WINCHESTER, OCT. 9.—A General Meeting of the
Lieutenancy of this County was holden this morning

Rune ANDRE.—The peach-tree taken from the
grave of the unfortunate Major Andre, at Tappan,
and now arrived in England to be presented to his
Majesty, is one of the two that were planted over the
remains of that unfortunate gentleman. The other
we understand is in the possession of Mr. John Fraser,
of the Hermitage nursery, Ramsgate, and is in a very
flourishing state. Mr. F. in the course of his Botan-
nical researches, in the year 1816, visited the grave
of Majnr Andre, at Tappan, and obtained the above
tree together with some tufts of grass also taken from
the spot, both of which are objects of great curiosity
and veneration to the visitors of that fashionable water-
ing place.
