 PLEBEIAN BALLADS.
 Adapted (for the first time) to aristocratic Circles.
 No. 10.-THHE BALLAD OF DARLING NELLY GWAY.
 Supposed to be sunHg by PLANTAGANET (O'EVILLE, of thFe Foweign Ofice.
TIIEREI'S a low bwed valet of the name of WUx BLAs,
 The howo of an opwa and a play ;
Ho falls in love with majesty, and dies all over scabs,
 A tewiblo example, NELLY G WAY.
 Oh! you false NELLY GWAY,
 Iow you've thwon yourself away
 On a watched fella studying the law ;
 I'm sitting in my office doing nothing all the day,
 Well, I can't toll what you see in him, I'm shaw.
At l. h'.I all last winta, well, was I not your willing slave?
 And all the London season 1 .. u as well;
3Iy bill was at the watwing place, I shaw you, vewy gave,
 For I put up at that principal hotel.
 Oh you false NELLY GWAY,
 For the horses I did pay,
 To the livwyman full fifty pounds-yes, maw;
 For, as you well remember, we were winding evewy day,
 And after that I must say I feel saw.
At evwy evening party I was at your elbow seen,
 iwepared to hold your fan, or talk, or dance ;
I fancied that my case was, as low boys say, all sowene,"
 And that no other fella had a chance.
 Oh! you false NELLY GWAY,
 After what you used to say,
 Oh, I'll never twust in woman any maw;
 On the strength of your annuity I've bowowed from my friends,
 And they're asking for it back-which is a baw.
My tailor has commenced a suit against me; nova yet
 Have I known him such a drawing act to do ;
There's nothing now but waces-so I've taken, death, to Bet,
 My twadesmen having taken, death, to Sue.
 All your fault, NELLY GWAY,
 But I still twust that you may
 Both be happy, though I heah he's dooced paw;
 And lie cannot quite afford a house, at pwesent, and intends
 To take in Bloomsbuwee a second-flaw.


 MARKET REPORT.
 DuinNon the week business has been steady, despilo the high windl
which has prevailed. There has been a fresh arrival of greens "
from the country, mostly with fine largo hears, but devoid of nuioch
head; the latter circunmstanco has, however, leecn deemed ratifer
favourable than otherwise, by several lr'o collnsmllners, along wNholil
we may notice MESSRS. SKiTTLEo, S0IIA'Iei:, and C(o.
 Potatoes high in price, and a goooldeal of cyrnless about thilem, as
regards themselves. Thero was a great fall in carrots and turlnips,
owing to tlhe support of Mll. 'TomnKor's show-hoard giving way ;
but upon the news gaining scent, several Wpeculators put iln an
appearance, and the stock that was floating in the market (guifter)
was speedily picked up. Onions were very strong, though but few
cared to touch them. ']Thero was a rise in horseradish, in comsequenco
of a quantity being removed to the first floor, during tlo alteration of
the shop. Sago was scarc, but sago dealers scarcer. Mint was it,
purely nominal prices, its only consumer, Mlr. LA nt, having gone for
the season. Tlhero is one failuro to announce in the trade, that of
fMEssts. TATERa and Co., alleged to be owing to In infectious diseaso
breaking- out in thle firm. Liabilities small, froAl the fiot, of no one
having trusted them, lticro having been suspicions, as to their sound-
ness, for some -a..- i. .

 SING-SONG 1'OLLIO.
 MADLItE. PaTTi has mado a wonder'fil hit, i. tIhe o pal, of N.'lO-m(, anm

 duced at court (Portugal-street), begs to inform the Im nlis of tlhe
 ancient aristocracy, that she will still continue to give them any
 amount of her own wrinkles for removing theirs.
 UNAUTHORIZED Version.-(By our own Essayist andl Rvowiwer.)-
 All the various religions are to an impartial mind upon 0an Cq'al foo't-
 ing. Dogmatically it is, to use the cant phrase of the day, six of ooo
 and half-a-dozen of the other, and thus the argmnicnts are simply
 reduced to a question of sex.

 JUDGING from the numbers of highly polished Hessian toots which
 adorn the legs of the 'characters in M1t. FAICOrNEI'S new drama:, we do
 not see why tlh name of the piece, instead of I'ce~) o 8',oy0, should nt
 be Peop o'D(,oy anwl .arlb-in.
