THE VISIT OF THE MARQUIS.
Slß,— l wes intensely disguslod this morning at seeing the Governor allowed to pass through Hamilton without an »ddrea« etea being presented to him. I wu, with some "half-dozen other young fellows, prepared to hare taken the horses out of his carriage and to have drawn him down to the punt, and my friend Haw Haw bad proTidp ' •> now set, of blacking brushes and a bottle of B iy and Martins with which we would hare thaned the vice-regal party's boots during their passage orer in the punt. I can aisurc you we have done a good deal of this sort of thing at ely, and Haw Haw is quite an adept at it, so thit it ia a pity so fine a chance of paying proper respect to a real lire Marquis wai lost to us. W e must, however, I suppose be content with practising on lesser game, as it may be a long time before such an opportunity ftftain. oocuri. — I am, &o, One or thk fetch xnd carry BFANIITLS. Hamilton West, March 15th, 1870.
