What, only just found out that fact?
As soon expect sense from Dame Partlet
As reason, in speech or in act,
From rash, indiscriminate Bartlett.
In foreign affairs he's a ferret,
But sense from his "charge" holds aloof;
For all know that Silomio's spirit,
Is many degrees above "proof"!
We hear that the salmon-fishing season on the Dee has been a satisfactory one. Some especially good sport was obtained in a pool "near Overton Bridge where the fish collected, when unable, owing to the lowness of the water, to get over the weir." Notwithstanding an equal inability of Members "to get over the Weir," there was not much sport during the recent Session "near Westminster Bridge."
