eed we'll be bail he has.
There's a _Seale_, and four _Martens_, with skins to our wishes;
There's a _Rae_ and two _Roches_, and all sorts of fishes;
There's no sheep, but a _Sheppard_--"the last of the pigtails"--
And a _Ramsbottom_--chip of the old famous big tails.
Now to mention in brief a few trifles extraneous,
By connoisseurs class'd, "odds and ends miscellaneous:"--
There's a couple of _Bells_--frights--nay, Hottentots real!
A _Trollope_, of elegance _le beau ideal_.
Of _Browne_, _Green_, and _Scarlett_ men, surely a sack or more,
Besides three whole _White_ men, preserved with a _Blakemore_.
There's a _Hill_, and a _Hutt_, and a _Kirk_, and--astounding!
The entire of old _Holland_ this house to be found in.
There's a _Flower_, with a perfume so strong 'twould upset ye all;
And the beauty of _Somers_ is here found perpetual.
There's a _Bodkin_, a _Patten_, a _Rose_, and a _Currie_,
And a man that's still _Hastie_, though ne'er in a hurry.
There is _Cole_ without smoke, a "sou'-_West_" without danger;
And a _Grey_, that to place is at present a stranger.
There's a _Peel_,--but enough! if you're a virtuoso
You'll see for yourself, and next month you may do so;
When, if you don't say this _New House_ is a wonder,
We're Dutchmen--that's all!--and at once knuckle under.

WATERFORD ELECTION.

The Tories at Waterford carried the day,
And the reign of the Rads is for ever now past;
For one who was _Wyse_ he got out of the way,
And the hopes of the other proved _Barron_ at last.

STATE OF TRADE.

We are sorry to perceive that trade was never in a more alarming state than
at present. A general _strike_ for wages has taken place amongst the
smiths. The carpenters have been dreadfully _cut up_; and the shoemakers
find, at the _last_, that it is impossible to make both _ends_ meet. The
bakers complain that the pressure of the times is so great, that they
cannot get the bread to _rise_. The bricklayers swear that the monopolists
ought to be brought to the _scaffold_. The glaziers, having taken some
_pains_ to discover the cause of the distress, declare that they can _see
through_ the whole affair. The gardeners wish to get at the _root_ of the
evil, and consequently have become _radical_ reformers. The laundresses
have _washed_ their hands clean of the business. The dyers pr
