A Legal Ballad.
No. g..

.t, ..M A Legal Ballad.
.3i g.. by JOHN @. SAKE.
An attorney was stalking turn
In shabby habiliments drest,
His coat was shockingly worn,
And the rust had invested his vest.
His breeches had suffered breach,
His linen and worsted were worse,
He had scarce whole crown on his hat,
And not a half-crown in his purse.
And thus as he wandered along,
A cheerless and comfortess elf,
He sought for relief in song,
Or complainingly talked to himself
"Most unfortunate man that am,
My only client is Grief,
The case is, I've no case at all,
And in brief, have ne 'er had 'brief.'
'The profession already so full
Oflawyers so full Of profession,
That modest young man like myself
Can't make the smallest impression.
"They grant m acquainted with grants
Can devise devise or plea,
Can make good deed in fee simple
But can't get the simplest fee
'I've waited, and waited in vain,
Expecting an opening to find,
Where an honest young lawyer might gain,
Some reward for the toll of his mind"
While thus he was wand ring along,
His eye accidentally fell
On very deep hole in the ground,
And he sighed to himself, "Ir Is WE'LL"
To curb his emotion he sat
On the curb stone the space of a minute,
Then cried, "Here's an opening at last"
And in less than jiffy was in it.
The next day twelve citizens came,
The "coroner's quest" to attend;
To the end that it might be determined
How that man had determined his end.
"That man was a lawyer it SEEMS
Said the foreman, who "opened," Of course;
"a lawyer, alas!" sighed another
"He undoubtedly died of remorse.'
A third said he ''knew the deceased
An attorney well versed in the laws;
And as to the cause Of his death,
Twas no doubt for want Of 'cause.''
The "crowners" at length gave verdict,
Which finally settled the matter:
That the young man was drowned because
He could not keep his head above water.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;

a ! w
THE public viii be gratifed to learn that the
l United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York TO San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS TO 60 out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips TO San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch. ....... IL ...

cisco, consists Of the &c.

( The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, SO that no delay
beyond the usual stay Of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage 70 California.
