THE BATTLE OF THE BRICKS.

Not to be outdone by the Yankees in any
thing, England has treated herself to a civil
war, to which she points us with good deal
of complacency. 1t has taken the form of a
siege. The Brickmaksrs' Union is the attack
ing force; the besieged "a party by the name
of Johnson" The siege of Troy and the
long investment of Jerusalem pale their in
effectual horrors before the remarkable de-
tails of this modern beleaguerment 1t is
true, the bloody conflict is compacted
within O small space, but it has gone
on now for a twelve-month, and is fully
endued with all the pomp and pauoply
of glorious war. There are the two indie
pendent, belligerent powers; there is Mr..
johnson, fortified in his back dinihg-room;
there are the bricl1makers, like the fiery
Huns, deploying under "their sulphurous
canopy" there are perpetual pale sentinels of
chambermaids and stable-boys upon the ram
parts there are bombs; there are internal
machines: and there certainly will be human
GORE A heroic constable, such as he who
erst descended like avenging fate upon
General ONeill and bore him off by the
breeches from amid the deadly host, would
probably put a summary end to this carnage;
but England remains neutral as in our own
civil war, and declines to form any alliance
either with the serried ranks of the brick
makers or with Mr.. Johnson.
The history of this first year of the Battle
of the Bricks is as follows:-Mr. Johnson is a
builder and Briton. Being, like all Britons,
an epitome in miniature of the pluck and
doggedness of John Bull, he was resolved to
build in his own way, and that the most
direct way to furnish him with bread and
butter. The Manchester Union issued an
edict forbidding the shaping Of stone in the

to another coast work, namely, the collection
of our customs; or why plan which secures
faithful service from parties of civilians,
working in positions where they cannot be
closely watched, might not secure a like eff

abused revenue system.

That the President Of the U. S. be, and

the people of Cuba and the government OF the
