LORD MELBOURNE--frightfully beaten, and turned out of his house by a gang of Peelites. LORD JOHN RUSSELL--struck on the head by a large majority, and flung into a quandary. LORD COTTENHAM--tripped up by a well-known member of the swell mob, and robbed of his seals. MR. ROEBUCK--stripped and treated with barbarous inhumanity by a notorious bruiser named the _Times_. The unfortunate gentleman lies to the present moment _speechless_ from the injuries he has sustained. LORD NORMANBY--stabbed with some sharp instrument, supposed to be Lord Stanley's tongue. LORD MORPETH--struck in the dark by an original idea, from the effects of which he has not yet recovered. * * * * * ROOT AND BRANCH. Roebuck, in complaining of the stigmas cast by the _Times_ upon his pedigree, and vehemently insisting on the character of his family tree, was kindly assisted by Tom Duncombe, who declared the genus indisputable, as nobody could look in Roebuck's face without perceiving his family tree must have been the "plane-tree." * * * * * SONGS FOR THE SENTIMENTAL.--NO. 8. You say I have forgot the vow I breath'd in days long past; But had I faithful been, that thou Hadst loved me to the last. _Without_ me, e'en a throne thou'dst scorn-- _With_ me, contented beg! False maid! 'tis not that I'm forsworn,-- The boot's on t'other leg. Amidst the revel thou wast gay, The blithest with the song! Though thou believ'dst me far away, An exile at Boulogne. 'Twas then, and not till then, my heart To love thee did refuse; My vows became (false that thou art!)-- Another pair of shoes! * * * * * AFFAIRS IN CHINA. PRIVATE LETTER FROM A YOUNG OFFICER AT THE ENGLISH FACTORY, CANTON, TO HIS BROTHER IN ENGLAND.
