I dont see that Mr. A. B. C.-rombie has got anything in this scrimble-scramble. I am glad Lord Goodyrich is cum back, for a kinder-arted, more hamiable man there is not in all the whirld. Sir James Graham, as Fust Lord of the Admirability is curous, but Mr. Spring Tide as the Secretairer seems an uncommon proper apintment. Fulmer tells me that Lord Hill has got the _Blues_--I am sorry his Lordship takes the change of Minsters so much to heart. I hope he will keep up his spirts, for every body has nose him, loves him. There is a very scandallous report going about, that Lord Holland is going to keep the Duchess of Lancaster--I dont believe it for many reasons--one is, I never heard of the Lady before, unless it is your friend the Princess of Olive Serres, who has got her rites at last; but then Lord Holland would not do sich a thing as that; at least I conseeve not. Perhaps, dear B., you will send me a billey in the coarse of the weak, and if anything good should turnip for Fulmer I will let you no--he is by no means partycolour--any place, from a Lord Precedents down to a porters, would suit him--he is equally fit for all; besides, in a squabble like this, nobody sticks at fitness. Yours ever, dear B., D. L. RAMSBOTTOM. P.S. You never tells us nothing about the Theaters now; is your cricket dead? if he is, why don't you git anuther? Adoo! B. XXVIII. MRS. RAMSBOTTOM DECLARES HERSELF A CONVERT TO "REFORM." TO JOHN BULL. Turnham Green, April 4, 1831. DEAR B.,--It is a long time since you have heard from me,--and now I do write, you will find me somewhat haltered in my principles. I have been one over by my sun-in-law to the great caws of Reform. He talks of not stopping till we have got the Ballad and General Sufferance--as to the first, I am all for the song; but with regard to the General, I cannot say I ever heard of him before; but if he is a friend of Lord John Rustles, that is efficient--the very site of Lord John is enuff--his name is a corjil, and his figger is comefort. I recklect the day when I satanized Lord Drum, the Lord Privy, and so did _you_, B.--you now you did--chiefly, as I think, because he was yellow. Did you ever read Foot, B.?--Muster Foot says, in one of his Farcies, that a good candidate, like a good oss, cannot be of a bad culler--so I say--besides, what's yellower than a jinny? I think I see you, when you read my lines, and find me alturd as I am--but I am enlightened--the peeple _must have refurm_--my shoemaker says so, and I know it must be so; and as Lord Drum is at the bottom of the Refurm Bile, I love him--he looks as if he had been making the bile for some time. Oh, B., he is an intersting crechur, and so good natured, it is quite unpossible to void having a puncheon for him.
