rom spray rather than sentiment. A PAINTERS WISH. I wish that I could Etty be, A mighty man methinks is he ; And strong enough to try a fall With Titian or with Peter Paul. And yet, why deck a palace wall As gorgeously as Peter Paul ? He d love and honour from his prince, My gracious lord would blush and wince ; And so I would not Etty be, To shock my Princes modesty.

The Chairman having blandly recommended silence, said, that perhapsgentlemen would be good enough to hear Onslow. Mr. Draggett Onslow (of the Stamps and Taxes) was no orator—which he regretted—in fact,
