THE REV. S. PIGGOTT, A.M. Curate and Lecturer of St. James's,
Clerkenwell, and St. Antholin's, Watling-street, WANTS A PLACE. He has
written Prayers for Families, a Guide to the Altar, and an Example
of Conversion by the Common Prayer Book; named the Queen the _German_
Helen; represented her with a lighted torch, reaching at the Bible and
the Crown to destroy them; called her "Old Mother Red Cap;" hung her
head up as a sign to a public-house, with a gross allusion to Bergami;
said her infamy was fixed; and made her Majesty exclaim, that--
"Thrice she'd expire in Matthew's arms,
Would but the hangman Matthew spare!"
Further particulars can be given by his Treasurer, Charles Bicknell,
Esq. Solicitor to the Admiralty, 3, Spring-garden Terrace, on whom all
demands on account of the Rev. S. Piggott's Loyal Association should
be made; but all monies due or owing thereto, are requested to be paid
immediately to the Rev. S. Piggott only.

A CAUTION.
A SLOW BUT SURE POISON, which gradually insinuates itself into the
system, and will utterly destroy a human being, is now making frightful
ravages. Its common name is CANT. Some _blacks_ deliver it in the lump,
and a certain _lawyer_ has been seen to part with it in the form of
globules. It is most subtle when laminated, and unfortunately is to be
found in that state spread over a large portion of the community. NOTICE
IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the effluvia from the infected is contagious.
N. B. The most certain symptom of the presence of the poison is,
prostration of mind.
"Please to remember the _Grotto!_"
