e is not easily mistaken. * * * * * WHIG-WAGGERIES. The Whigs must go: to reign instead The Tories will be call'd; The Whigs should ne'er be at the head-- _Dear me, I'm getting bald_! The Whigs! they pass'd that Poor Law Bill; That's true, beyond a doubt; The poor they've treated very ill-- _There, kick that beggar out_! The Whigs about the sugar prate! They do not care one dump About the blacks and their sad state-- _Just please to pass the lump_! Those niggers, for their sufferings here, Will angels be when dying; Have wings, and flit above us--dear-- _Why, how those blacks are flying_!

They after wards tossed for a pint of half-and-half. Jerry Donovan and Bill Paul were seen in close conversation yesterday. It is rumoured that the former is in treaty with the latter for a pair of left-off six-and-eightpenny Clarences. Paddy Green intends shortly to remove to a three-pair back-room in Little Wild-street, Drury-lane, which he has taken for the summer. His loss will be much felt in the neighbourhood. * * * * * AN AN-TEA ANACREONTIC.--No. 2. Rundell! pride of Ludgate Hill!
