MR. DUNUP'S PROPOSALS FOR A LOAN OP TEN POUNDS.
Mk. Dunup has circulated in the City the following proposals for a Loan of Ten Pounds :—
The sum lent to be repaid when and how I please or can.
Ample security will be given for the sum advanced.
_ The security consists of a Barrister's Gown and Wig, not much the worse for wear, con-
sidering they have been worn for the last twenty years.
There is, also, a Blue Bag, which will be thrown in.
In addition to the above, there is likewise a handsome Bust of Lord Eldon, the nose of
which only is missing, and a Coffee-pot of the best Britannia-metal, which is almost as good
as new, with the exception of the spout and handle, which are temporarily absent.
The security may be inspected after the Ten Pounds have been paid into Mr. Dunup's
hands.
If satisfactory references are expected, they will not be given. Such regulations always
imply a degree of suspicion, which, to the one party, is most galling and irritating, and to the
other party is only productive of trouble, expense, annoyance, and disappointment. It is to
save the latter, that the form in this instance is dispensed with.
A Bill, to be accepted by Mr. Duntjp, will be given for the full amount, without any
deductions whatever.
The Stamp to be at the expense of the person negotiating the Loan.
» The Loan must be in bank-notes, or else in sovereigns. No blacking, or port wine, or
THE SMILES OF PEACE.
(The Isles of Greece.)
The Smiles of Peace, the Smiles of Peace,
By Foreign need from England wrung,
Have bid the cannon's war-shout cease.
The Thanks be said, the Anthem sung -,
But there is that (besides our Debt)
Which English hearts should not forget.
It was not, surely, to amuse
The gossip's hour of Club dispute,
We sat down daily to peruse
Those tales from Camp, where man and brute
Alike endured the sternest test
That ever crushed our brave, our best
Dxsbaeli looks on Palmebston,
And Palmerston on Mr. D.,
And in debates that last till one
They taunt each other skilfully;
But there be questions far too grave
To edge a mere debater's glaive.
Ten thousand men, of fearless brow,
On lips they loved laid parting kiss—
0, titled soldiers ! answer how
A needless Death has claimed them his.
They went, one well-remembered day—
Some few brief months, and where were they f
What! silent still, and silent all?
0 no, the damning charge is read—
Even now, in Chelsea's trophied Hall,
The judges sit, the scrolls are spread,
And haughty blunderers blusten'ng come—■
Unknown the shame that makes men dumb
In vain, in vain accuse those Lords,
All Lords are right, by right divine,
No, gild anew their tarnished swords,
And let, bereft plebeians whine :
You ask for proof of soldier skill—
How vaunts each bungling Bobadil!
You've Lord John Russell's lec.ures yet,
Where's William Russkll's teaching gone:
Of two such lessons, why forget
The bolder and the manlier one?
You have the Letters Wllliam gave
Think you he meant them tor a Shave ?
Trust not to men who lodge in banks
The price of swords your System sells ;
Seek in the people's healthier ranks
The fire that no disaster quells :
But slang Routine, and jobbing Fraud
Will break your back, however broad.
Along Pa11 Mall a martial line !
Our Life-Guards ride with helm and blade.
I see each glittering cuirass shine,
But, gazing on the gay parade,
I own a wish to bite my nails,
To think such horses ate their tails.
Her lofty place would England keep
In Europe's none too loving eye,
She'd make one grand and final sweep
Of all her System's pedantry.
But no—she bows to right divine.
Dash dumb that Punch's impious Shine !
