A correspondent in the “London Magazine” declares, that “if we named the several divisions of the year after the French revolutionary fashion, by the phenomena observable in them, we should, from our experience of January, 1825, call it _Bubblose_--it has been a month of most flagitious and flourishing knavery.” He pleasantly assumes that Mr. Jeremiah Hop-the-twig, attorney at law, benevolently conceives the idea of directing “surplus capital” to the formation of “a joint stock company for the outfit of air-balloons, the purchase of herds of swine, and the other requisites for a flourishing lunar commerce; Capital One Million, divided into 10,000 shares of 100_l._ each.” The method is then related of opening an account with a respectable banking-house, obtaining respectable directors, appointing his son-in-law the respectable secretary, the son of a respected director the respectable standing counsel, and the self-nomination of the respectable Mr. Jeremiah H. and Co. as the respectable solicitors. Afterwards come the means of raising the bubble, to the admiration of proper persons who pay a deposit of 5_l._ per share; who, when the shares “look down,” try to sell, but there are “no buyers,” the “quotations are nominal;” a second instalment called for, the holders hesitate; “their shares are forfeited;” the speculation is consequently declared frustrated; and there being only £10,000 in the bankers’ hands to pay “Mr. Hop-the-twig’s bill of 10,073_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._ that respectable solicitor is defrauded of the sum of 73_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._ This is the rise and fall of a respectable _bubble_.” Undoubtedly, among these various schemes afloat, some will be productive of great benefit to the country; but it is seriously to be considered whether the estimation of some of them in a money view be not too high, and forced to an undue price by the arts of jobbing: Haste instantly and buy, cries one Real Del Monte shares, for none Will hold a richer profit; Another cries--No mining plan Like ours--the Anglo-Mexican As for Del Monte, scoff it. _This_ grasps my button, and declares There’s nothing like Columbian shares, The capital a million;-- _That_, cries La Plata’s sure to pay; Or bids me buy without delay Hibernian or Brazilian. ’Scaped from the torments of the mine Rivals in Gas, an endless line, Arrest me as I travel; Each sure my suffrage to receive, If I will only give him leave, His project to unravel. By Fire and Life insurers next I’m intercepted, pester’d, vex’d, Almost beyond endurance; And though the schemes appear unsound, Their advocates are seldom found Deficient in assurance. Last I am worried, shares to buy In the Canadian company, The Milk Association, The Laundry-men who wash by steam, Rail-ways, Pearl-fishing, or the scheme, For Inland Navigation. _New Monthly Mag._
