Morning-Chronicle.

ORIGINAL POETRY.

AIR-"Twas when the Seas were roaring."

Twas when a new election

Was coming round again,

Poor . . . . . . in dejection
With tears express'd his pain.

From Dublin o'er the ocean,
He cast a wistful look;
And with acute emotion,

Address'd the herring-brook:

Post, but occasionally gratifies the Public through other Channels. Note.-This sublime Baron has, since the Poetry was written, left England and proceeded on his travels.

Some years are gone and over,
In blunder-making lost,

Since I, a luckless rover,
Forsook my native coast.

Cease, cease, thou cruel fluid,
And let a Placeman rest;
Or wash-if you can do it-
Remembrance from my breast.

My tongue I

wag no longer,

No Naval news indite:

An ousted Borough-monger,
Is but a sorry sight!

No minister will ever find,'
In Dublin town, or Cork,
My equal of the turnspit-kind
To do his filthy work.

How can they say that Natre,
Gave me a sterile brain?

For tho' a tiresome prater,
I did not prate in vain:

When Royalty was peck'd at,
Did I refuse to bark?

And was not I selected
To worry Mrs. Clarke?

All melancholy lying,

Thus wail'd he for his seat;

No consolation spying,

And scarce a meal to eat:

When as a kind assuager

Of this his mighty grief,

The thought of turning Guager, Afforded him relief.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg

leave to offer myself as a candidate for the part of Bombastes Furioso, to which will be added the farce of Killing no Murder-in defiance of the sanguinary proclamation of that cut-throat Massena; in consequence of which Lord Castlereagh-alias Fogo, was brought up under a charge of the worst description; amongst other acts of this abandoned Depredator-the ACT of LEGIS

LATIVE UNION may be classed with the greatest calamities ever inflicted on a nation. The newly invented patent water-closet totally precludes the necessity of using-paper of every kind, for which, in a moment of need, rough and heavy dollars are certainly a very inconvenient substitute.Yesterday his Grace of Q. so well known in the annals of gallantry-suddenly left his disconsolate friends; he is a very athletic, well-built, black bearded man, with a glowing complexion, and in the prime of life—a remarkably long tail, and his breed much admired; whoever will bring him tosuch Ladies as are in the habit of wearing stays, or corsets. No. 24,753 at Hornsby's lucky office; will, in all probability be made easy for life; and the immediate result be, at least-three boys and a girl, who, with the mother,
