TOM AND JERRY AGAIN.

Corinthan Tom was brought up to the Fohce
yesterday for another lark. il seems that Tom
was at Tattersals in Pearl street near broadway,
examining the fine points Of horse. French
Monsieur desirous OF purchasing the animal got
into dispute with rom, which terminated by his
throwing Monsieur into the manger. and from
thence tumbled him under the legs of the horse
to the incredible danger of the gentleman and
the arrangement of his clothes. Two marshals
went in pursuit of CorIn'hian Tom and found him
in b.d next door to TattersaPs hat, boots and
plaid cloak on. Tom resisted stoutly, and PLANT
ed a blow or Two in the marsla's bread basket
and struck another over his knowledge-box
With assistance they brought Tom down to the
Police the moment he entered he made fight
and sky .larked in a glorious manner. He floor.
ed coachy, beat the mar shas, and would have
given the msgi3trates a sample of the hammar

'lrHe and Jerry, entered to bail him, but they

mag at spree the night previous.
Corin,hlan Tom was literally dragged to Bride

the grand Jury now in session mas found iour bills
against him for an assault and battery. Tom
sWears that he was Z" not At fault" The jury Low

Thanks to an all creating pow'r,
That lent star to earth.
Creation ne'er before portrayal
So near an angel grace:
Perfect for once her work was laid,
Upon q mortals face.
Should all the hidden gems arise
From rich Golconda's mine,
The beaming lustre of those eyes,
Would lar the sparks outshine.
Sure could stand the ive.long night,
And tireless vigil keeps
To guard from rude approach ot fright,
Those eyes whilst closed in sleep.
Some angel hover near her home,
And guard her whilst she's here;
And when the hour Of death shall come,
She'll fly without fear.
Let fortune wing away her flight,
And cares like bllows roll;
Thy smile can cheer lie's drearest night,
And calm my troubled soul.
Heelless Id view the impending rock,'
Or deaths with iron crowns,
But boasiing courage feels a shock,
When my beloved trowns.
