NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.
** W. J. Walters.” It is a pity that you hare devoted so much of your talent to the composition of the lines with which you have favoured us, on “ Retaliation or. Von Borken’s arrest.” We cannot find room for 22 verses—BB lines— on euch a subject, even if the language used were adapted to our columns; here is a specimen : — Paddy sounded the charge with bejaybering oaths, And swore by his mother's mud cot, That the man who would finger the tail of his coat Should simmer in Satan’s try pot. There’s Sally my sister although but a gal Can flourish her flippers like winking, Would kneed your bread basket, draw off your spare claret, And bung up your eyes quick as thinking. Ab «»o disce emnes. Mr. Walters promises us his “ next rhyme.” We reply, “dont.”
