traordnary title. 1t comes from London. and

lures, patronage, influence, and abuses of govern
ment, in church, state. aud representations; to-
getber with list Of the numerous placemen and
sinecurists who drain SO much of the life blood OF
:" Old England"
On the first page of this publication is carica-
ture representing John Bull fastened down to the
ground. like CULVER, by the hairs of his head.
His face exhibits most ludicrous expression of
distress, whilea number OF clergymen are tramp
ling on his lean exteriors, and fleeing him of his
moneys. His sides are miseraby fallen away,
and his cheeks have lost their ancient rotundity
In the back ground, party of horsemen are ad-
vancing over his degenerate paunch. Two Of
them in military costume are bearing standards,
one of which is inscribed, :. Might makes
right" and on the other, s. Cunning Is Power. -
In front, parson in his gown and hook .nosed
gentleman in a surtout, are performing the
- Wings March, to the tune of Loaves and
Fishes.'' The whole is laughable taricature,
and severe satire on the present administration
of Great Britain.
In the list of pacemen and sinecurists, We find
affixed to each name the annual amount that is
paid them. The author adds to these occasional
structures of his own, some of which, for bitter
sarcasm and fearless comment, we have rarely
seen surpassed. We subjoin few, taken at
random:

ITALY.

An excellent article in the Constitutional
containing a cOmpendious account Of the stats
teal and moral condition Of Italy, states thai
two influences prevail in Italy, the French and
the Austrian. Piedmont, or the Sardniao Safes,
is, like Belgium essentially French, and the Ian
guase customs, the organization civil and militia
ry, bear the impress of France. On that account
Sardinia is watched with extreme jealousy by
Austria. In the rest of Italy, though the Popu-
lar feeling is chiefly with the French, especial
Iy in the northern part, yet the Governments arc
under the influence Of Austria, and exhibit the
effects of it in the beggary and degradation OF
the people. With population of twenty mil
lions, naturally intelligent & brave. and with eve
ry advantage with which nature can bless coun
try, there are neither manufactures nor trade in
this nursery of the arts under thcleaden wes of
the ruling despotism.
What may be called German Italy comprs.
es the Lombardo. Venetian kingdom, together with
the two small duchies of Parma aud MOdena,
which Austria considers annexed to her king
dom of LombarJy. In this part of Italy. though
directly under their government, the Austrians
have the most to fear from the temper of the peO-
pie, whose inclinations are French. and whose in
dustry is on better footing than that of the rest
of Italy. But what is most important to he re-
marked. in considering the condition of Italy,
Is the obvious fact, that the principle of months
feryention is that which would be most inconye-
nient to Austria in its effects, as her indirect in
huence extends over larger space than her di-
rect, and would be permitted to be compromised
with no less reluctance. She will not be able,
as tire phrase is, 8. to keep hands oA''n any com
motions in that country; so that if the French
ulfin,atun, really insists on intervention on
her side, peace is likely to be preserved many
days. 1t is hoped Notwithstanding. by some in
Italy, that pacific compromise may yet take
place Of her affairs, as those of Belgium. The
governments in the south of Italy look to inter
yention of some sort, as in themselves they are
inefficient to keep down any general popular ris-
ing.-Bah. finn.
