OCTOBER.
October has its name from octo, "eight,"
Though 'tis the tenth p'rhaps 'tis as well to state.
Such sixes and such sevens the months were knocked to,
That ten became translated into octo.
4th. News arrived of the loss of the overland mail, and the persons expecting their correspondence left in a state of unlettered ignorance.
25th. Nomination of candidates for the City. Mr. Baring put up with Mr. Pattison; but the electors refusing to put up with Mr. Baring, put him down in Mr. Pattison's favour.
