ZAPPHICS ON ST. ZWITHUN.
Arter zum weeks of charmun zummer weather
V\ iuchester’s famous Bishop, gurt St. Zwithun,
Christened the apples, and, if I med zay so,
Christened the Sultan.
Christened the Viceroy, cause ’a shouldn’t goo back
To his dominions in the land of Egypt,
Haveun, in England thof ’a’d bid a week, not
Had ne’er a duckun.
Down it poured, cats and dogs, upon the Prince of
Wales, and the people as the pavements crowded,
Sousun the Belgic Volunteers, and all, on
Wimbledon Common.
Spiled the Review as was to be at Spithead,
Flingun cold water on the fleet’s manoeuvres,
Drenchun like drowned rats Parliament afloat, t.Ue
Lords and the Commons.
You’ve know’d brown Thames, ’fore now, wi’ length o’
rainfall
Swoln, and at full moon risun in a spring-tide.
Break o’er his southern bank, and goo to flood the
Cellars of Lambeth.
There ’ll be soon heerd, if this here wet continues.
Prophecies bodnn damidge to the harvust,
Grunts and groans, wailuns, lamentable cries, com-
plaints from the farmers ;
Talk about, corn lodged, ruin of the seed crops.
Terrible bad for wuts, and whate, and barley.
That’s what wet sazons always is, and dry be
Bad for the swedes and
Turmuts. Here, howsomedever, pass the jug, mates.
Here’s your good health, prosperity, and long life—
Next we’ll drink Parliamentary Reform, wi’
Punch for our Member.

ENSIGN BROWN SHARES A TENT AT WIMBLEDON WITH HIS FRIEND JONES,
PRIVATE IN THE SAME COMPANY.
Ensign Brown. “Oh, I say, Jo—Mr. Jones, there’s one of those , Pegs
loose. Hem—will you—I wish—just Jump out, and make it Fast ! ”
Private Jones. “ Oh, hang it, Br—Mr. Brown ! Come, I don’t mind
Tossing you ! ! ”
Organic News.
There is to be a new paper started in Rome. It is to be
the Organ of the Italian party. The Roman Editor would
have done us a signal service by taking back to their own
native country several Italian parties with their organs, now
in England, instead of starting a new one. Of course the
new paper, which might be called the street-organ, is
denounced by the Civilta Cattolica, the Church Organ.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR RECEIVING THE BELGIANS
NEXT YEAR.
Eight Thousand gallant Volunteers will embark from Antwerp, on
their own vessels.
At St. Katherine’s Dock there will be two excellent penny steam-
boats, duly manned and boy’d, to meet the troops, and convey them
safely ashore.
On arriving they will be immediately regaled with demi-bouteilles du
Ginger biere and oranges in slices. This cold collation at the expense
of the nation. Subscribers’ names will be taken one year in advance.
On the second day the Belgians will walk from Notting Hill to the
Mansion House, where they will partake of a gorgeous repast, as
follows :—
One cold chicken to be handed round to each squad.
Parsley in small plates.
Rolls powdered to bread crumbs.
Salt alone.
A grape.
Some orange-peel in water a la Marchioness.
The Lord Mayor and Civic authorities will dine together privately
in honour of the occasion. The Band of the Belgians will perform
outside while their brave companions are at dinner.
Further particulars will be issued shortly.
Donkeys instead of the usual cavalry chargers will be supplied for
the foreign officers visiting the Camp, as horses would be too expen-
sive. Early tenders from proprietors at Hampstead Heath, Brighton,
Ramsgate, &c., will be received at the War Office.
The best Saturday Review for Years.—Wimbledon on the 20th.
A NEGLECTED INVENTION.
They took Abdul Aziz to Woolwich, and showed him the Snider
Rifle, the new cartridge, and its mode of manufacture, sundry stores of
shot and shell, the manoeuvring of certain artillery, the process of con-
structing the Woolwich guns, and the casting of Major Palliser’s
chilled shot. They exhibited to him our implements of destruction,
intended to kill our foreign foes. They did not take him to see the
arrangement with which we put our native enemies to death. Accord-
ing to the Times the “ Royal and distinguished visitors ” to Woolwich
Arsenal, including the Sultan, “ viewed with admiration the vast
stores of shot and shell ready for use.” Would not any sensible man
view with equal admiration the apparatus for executing criminals
reserved in readiness at Newgate ? Would he consider a shell, with
respect to its use, any more admirable than a halter F Now the Sultan,
by all accounts, is a very sensible man. Yet there they go taking him
to see rifles, and cartridges, and guns, and shot and shell, and all
manner of projectiles, but nobody thinks of conducting him to have a
look at the poor old gallows.
BPHTISH PEA.CE INSURANCE.
With reference to the late Naval Review at Spithead, a contem-
porary quotes from one of Lord Palmerston’s speeches the saying
that “There is no better or more necessary security which this country
can have for the continuance of peace, than to put its Navy on a footing
with that of any other country.” Perhaps these words of our late, if
not our last, statesman were inaccurately reported. He might have
said more. It is not too much to say that, to insure the continuance
of peace, the British Navy ought to be put on a footing superior to
that of the Navies of all other countries put together.
