Ye Lincoln men, I come to you,
'Neath no false colours sailing,
My flag—the genuine true blue—
Unto the mast-head nailing.
I've no shame to own my name;
'Tis one in which I glory:
The matter not to mince a jot,
I tell you I'm a Tory.
To men and things their titles give,
Without equivocation :
So call me no Conservative,
I scorn the appellation.

But save our institutions;
Of all reforms I disapprove—
I think them revolutions.

Those innovations made of late,
However, 1 would alter.

That I'd repeal that measure,
The Test and Corporation Act,

Whatever people say or think—

Nay, the Reform Bill, by this hand,

And Drainage Lands Improvement,

I hate all kind of movement.

A pace of thirty miles an hour
Is much too fast progression.

That unexampled rarity—
A thorough-going Tory.

We understand that the respected firm—98, Strand—have com-
menced an action against Mr. Warren for having, under their name,
laid very bad_ blacking upon the men of Finsbury. Mr. Warren, with
his characteristic impartiality, consents to hold the brief against himself.
He has already accepted the retainer.

The mayoral mandate will no doubt be felt as a decided ease of
oppression at the heart of the Metropolis. The congestion of butchers
and bullocks in the region of Smithfield will necessarily lead to a
paralysis of traffic. Smithfield has already occasioned a great loss of
human life ; it will now occasion as great a loss of time, which is money.
It has excited febrile complaints ; it will nowT give rise to the complaints
of men of business. It has at length become an impediment to trade,
