n motion.
Pity a Whitechapel Tar!

Shivered are my timbers, stranger;
Lame, you see, is poor JACK JUNK:
Yes, I got this, braving danger,
(Falling from a scaffold drunk).
On my forehead see depicted
Valour's honourable scar
('T was with a pint pot inflicted).
Pity a Whitechapel Tar!

Glazed my hat and blue my jacket,
White my trowsers, loose my tie;
Seaman's costume, when I lack it,
Down at Houndsditch I can buy.
Naval talk I've learnt in places
Where the British seamen are;
"Furl the main-top," "splice the braces."
Pity a Whitechapel Tar!

Nursemaids, from your upper casements
Throw the halfpence freely down;
Cooks from areas and from basements,
On the sailor do not frown.
Bring the joints out, if we ask it,
Distant is the seaman's star;
(Here's the plate! I'll prig the basket).
Pity a Whitechapel Tar!

GREAT JEW MEETING.

On Saturday evening last, a large and influential meeting of members of
the Hebrew nation assembled in the Synagogue, Great Saint Helen's, for
the purpose of taking into consideration the recent article in _Punch_,
in which that illustrious individual, remarking upon the fact that Jews

Among those who were present we noticed BARON INGOTS, SIR AARON
MONTECHRISTO, MR. ALDERMAN FITZDAVID, the REV. RABBI HAPHTORAH,
PROFESSORS BERESHITH and BARA, and others, as representatives of the
higher classes; and MESSRS. ABRAHAMS, ISAACS, JACOBS, IKEY, BARNEY, CLO,
O. CLO, BEHEMOTH, GONOFF, SHOBBUS, FENCE, SHEENEY, TANGO, &c. &c. on the
other interest. The former class had not deemed it desirable to bring
the ladies of their families, but in the body of the meeting we remarked
MRS. and MISS IKEY, MRS. BEHEMOTH, MRS. and the MISSES SHOBBUS (11),
MRS. and MISS SHARON, MRS. TUSKS, and other distinguished Mosaic
ornaments of private life.

MR. ALDERMAN FITZDAVID was voted into the chair, and a disposition to
