THE SONG OF THE FRENCH EAGLE
Believe me, that all those great guns and small
Which I'm casting by hundreds. you say;
Need by no means excite your vain fears and
DISMISS all such disquietudes. prayi flor,
All these terrible weapons mere playthings are
They are warranted never to kill
And altho' you may think Tn preparing for
War,
At Peace quite mean to be still.
IT'S true I'm increasing my Army, It's known
That my Navy grows stronger each day;
But by this no beligerent proneness is shown,
rTis to prove that II Empire, Cest la Pair !"
If arm, It's for peace; if fight, It's for love;
For your fears, then, there's really no cause;
I'm bird with the heart and the voice Of a
dove,
ofan Eagle although I've the claws
A DIGESTIVE DrSSER acknowledgement sends
us meat, and France cooks.
PoL1r1cAL AsrIsrPTIC-0ne element which
is much to be desired, but is not to be found,
in any of the proposed measures of Reform, IS
something like Falconi's powder that will pre-
vent corruption.

FROM Puscu's ESSENCE OF PARLIAMENT.
Then on the yawning Commons wearying
Refreshing, looms the stalwart form of Bright.
Coughs cease, mouths close, and men situP to
hear
The bold inVectiVe and the telling jeer-
They look for show of glndiatorial force,
For direst slaughter, dealt without remorse,
For that best blow which gives the deepest pain,
For these the Commons look-and look in vain.
Non qualis erat Calmly he declares
The Bill a mockery Of his clients prayers,
Derides the fears of those who fear the Crowd,
Asserts its rights, in language bold and proud,
Foretells its certain victory DER the few,
Demands Reform that shall be large and true,
And promises our guerdon shall be seen
In what2 Mob rule? No. Strength to State
and Queen
Nor tAunt or threat escaped him while he spoke
Nor from his eye the gladiator broke.
The long debates adjourned, the Senate drives
OF to its tOddies, clubs, weeds whist, o. wives
Then, deening that It's time the train to shunt,
Stands the tall Viscount in the battles front.
The House is hushed to calm, and crushed to jam
AS fixed it listens to the willy Pam.
Good-natured insolence, but lightly yelled,
Marks each gay period with sensation" hailed
He votes with Russell, nay, his Noble Friend
Had shown him his Amendment, freshly penned,
Aud he had told his Noble Friend the same
Was the most perfect thing that he could frame.
The Bill was very bad, without doubt,
But that's no reason Derby should go out:
He must not tear his Bill, nor yet resign,
Nor must dissolution be his line.
I'm fact he can't dissolve-the House must
choose
On that: he'll Supplies which they II refuse)
Lord Derby TO the Commons must submit,
Aud pass the measure they may vote is fit;
And, for the aid he has been pleased to lend,
Lord Derby ought to thank his Noble Friend.
Pleased that his speech had every Party riled
The virtuOus Palmerston sat down and smiled
