BACK PARLOUR POLITIC! DNS I AN UPROAR:

The Itloonms, En SAL are Is great consternation,
In consequence of my late ♦ersification ;
Poor L•cksr they say is quite crusty, and swears
If he knew where to find me he'd cut oft my ears
Or to use a shop phrase—l sitoard yo infe the trompA,
When he'd tuck up his shirt sleeves, and knead ine like
dough.

But Archbstt declares, that 'tis always his rule
Ne'er to wantonly trifle with an edged tool.
Old Hotchonsson swore l'iu some rascally spy,
Employ'd like a Reynolds their thoughts to descry ;
And vow'd, as a pinch or two extra he took,
I should hang in his shop like a filch on the kook ;
Sly Nowson declared as he hung up his hat,
U he caught me he'd bundle sue into his vat ;
And bluff-headed T'by growl'd out with a frown,
He should feel a great pleasure in knocking me doers:"
While poor little Murphy, with ire brimful,
Swore he'd throw " all his lapstones and lasts at nay
scull."

But J••y Way rose and jerked up kis breech,
And made, as I'm told, an essay at a speech ;
After pulling and heaving like blacksmith's old bellows,
Said " I'm really concerned fur you all my good fellows ;
" Rat 'pun honor to me it doth clearly appear,
" That the tree cease of all your disturbance Is here,
" This dastardly hireling and lying C.Orrler ;
" You've adopted its sophistry —chatter'd away,
" And like other blind guides it has led you astray.
" At the author and ►is rhymes, you've vile epithet hurled,
" But for him you would ne'et have been Loom* to tAe

world
" Tour shops which were once In obscurity shrouded,
" lam told for a fact have been recently erouded.
"The curious have laid out their money—the quizzes,
" For the reeve satisfaction of a peep at your phitzes:
" But to hang him or deprive the poor Wight of his bride,
" Would for ever prevent him from writing again.
" Now take my advlee, send a twenty pound bill,
" I've no doubt but you'll Ind 'twill bring grist to your
mill."
T'seas eaanlmously resolved to take J••y's adrift,
And the sum. I am told. was !subscribed in a trice ;
A note moot polite, was instanter composed
And sent him requesting to take the enclosed ;
At the same time declaring their warmth they regretted,
And begged to assure him they felt murk indebted.
This done, and having sabalded their Ire,
Then lying Courier was coeileson'd to the Are.

SOCIETY OF ARTS, ADELPIII.

A General Meeting of this laudable Institution
took plsce last evenitr, at the Society's Great Room,
in the Adelphi ; Dr. PowELL, the Vice President, in
the Ghair. A letter was read from the President, his
Royal Highness the l)uke of Sussex, recommending
an alteration in the day fur the distribution of the
prizes, which; after some discnssion, was, on a division,
changed from the last Thursday in May to the first
Wednesday in June, the former being foreign
post day. The Society then proceeded to discufs
the following important resolution which had
Ibeen under consideration at the preceding meeting : •
That it is contrary to the intention of this society that
any matter intended to be published in its volume:
should be previously given to the public in a garble I
state in any other publications. This was, after a very
animatedidebate, in which Messrs. Northhou,e, Bailey,
Smith and Solly, took a very distinguished part, sar-
tied in the affirmative by a very large majority.
This resolution is not intended to prevent a notice
of the proceedings of the Society being inserted in
the Daily Papers, but is intended to operate against
certain Magazines which have surreptitiously printed
and pablished articles from the Society's records, to
the injury of their authorised publication, which it
appears, costs upwards of 15001. per annum, and is
gut up with the greatest care. The Meeting was un-
usually numerous.
