TO THE ELECTORS OF NORWICH.

Why don't the Orange and Purples at once put the Electors in possession of all the facts and all the Honest Deeds which entitled them to respect?

CALEB QUOTUM

alias the Bum-brusher of Pottergate Street, could perhaps inform you whether the Paper Kites are still flying by which he raised the wind for a certain Election. They were fastened by strings to the Stable Bank by a celebrated Bashaw-Wigged animal from Preston, with the head of a Goose and the heart of a Cat, to whom Ikey Solomons would have given £1000 to have had him against him on his trial at the Old Bailey.

THE RETIRED ALDERMAN

at Carlton should convince the Public by an authenticated statement, shewing the actual payment of the £600 which came from London to the Distressed Poor.

AUGUSTUS NO NOSE,

that canting cold Winter-like Hypocrite, and the Speaker of the Common Scoundrel Chamber, (who for years and years whilst at a certain Ud-Equitable Office, connived at the dishonesty of a certain Alderman, not a very trust-worthy Steward, these three crafty Limbs of the Law could have informed you the amount of the 1. O. U's. given by certain orange and purples, for money advanced some years ago, and how in the failure of Day's Bank it was pleaded that six years had passed from the time they borrowed the Money and refused the payment, thus Jobbing the Bankrupt's Creditors out of an enormous sum.

ELECTORS OF NORWICH,

are you surprised that such persons as the Bethel Street Hawker, Jack Standforth, old Jack Pratt, and the Carlton Alderman should have a common feeling as to the propriety of bringing forward Spinning Jenny Peel? Why, these persons support Jonathan, because Jonathan must support them, and places they must have, and as to your votes they care nothing about them, if once they get possession of the Loaves and Fishes.

I have not time to notice Knock-em-down John, the Longward Bully, the would-be-conscience man "Wot is so werry larned" the Quack Doctor of St. George's Plain, and his prototype of Imbecility (the Chemist who can have so good a character from his master) wot wends Medsins for Hosses' in St. Augustine's, these and Caleb Quotum, alias, the Pedagogue of PottergateStreet, and several others, shall shortly have a bill of fare for their own approval.

The Meeting of the London Voters, at the King's Head, in the Poultry last Friday Evening, must have been very Flattering to Jonathan. Men, Women, Boys and Girls had congregated together, Grimble the Tailor in the Chair, and Brass-tap Coleby his Deputy-they were supported by two Sausagemakers, Joe Stannard of Long-Ward Notoriety on his right, and on the left, the Great Arthur, who is making his London Sausages as he used to make his Norwich Bombazines, namely, better at one end than at the other always fond of a low article, he said he should vote for Peel.-Jonathan was so disgusted with this MOTLEY CREW, he reached across the Table and shook hands with the Chairman and departed, having some suspicion of the Respectability of his constituents. FAIR PLAY.

THE

FOLLOWING NON-DESCRIPT,

IS TO BE SEEN ALIVE,

IN THE MARKET PLACE, NORWICH,

FOR ONE DAY ONLY.

Just Arrived from North America, and will be exhibited in the Market-Place, on Thursday the 29th Inst., a newly discovered Amphibious Animal, called the OGLE; this Creature (which was imported by a party of red herring men,) measures about five feet six inches from the Snout to the Tail, Body of the Sable Cast, Head Greyish. This Genus, which 'till now was unknown in this part of the globe, has a great antipathy to Blue and White; therefore, Ladies and Gentlemen are cautioned not to appear in those colours. Its Anticks, which are peculiar to itself, are of the most interesting order, viz. it will Stand Erect, and swallow a Quart of Tompson's Nog without taking the pot from its mouth, and will perform many other Astonishing Feats.

Its Keeper will be provided with a PEEL instead of a Long Pole, as is customary, with which he will give the Animal an occasional stir up.

THE RIVAL CANDIDATES,

OR THE FOUR S'S.

THE first, is a SOLDIER defending our rights,
The second, the SAILOR, undauntedly fights,
The third, is a SAINT, yet he loves a good dinner,
The fourth, is alas, a notorious SINNER.

The Soldier, defends our religion and laws,
The Sailor, protects too, the same righteous cause,
The Saint, for the Blues is a great deal too calm,
The Sinner, puts Husbands in state of alarm.
Support then the Soldier, the bold Col. Peel,
Send quickly the Sinner, the right about wheel,
Strengthen the cause of the Veteran Tar,
Saints most unfitted for Parliament are.

Should we send up the Sinner or Saint,
Soon we shall find there's cause for complaint,
Should we incline for our Country's weal,
Strive for Brave Ogle, and Bold Col. Peel.

[graphic][merged small]

We have the painful task of announcing to our Readers, the total loss of the WINDSOR CASTLE, commanded by Capt. Ogle, and bound from London to Norwich, during a tremendous Gale on Thursday, the 29th. Instant, coming into Port.

The Spectators on shore observed a Purple and Orange signal of Distress, flying for several hours; but the Tide of Public Opinion running so high, and an unusual strong Gale of Opposition, so violent, that all hopes of saving the Vessel or Crew became uncertain. She was observed to be indifferently manned, and indeed her Crew seemed more disposed to plunder the Wreck than protect it.

Two persons of rather genteel appearance, apparently passengers were observed to be in great distress,-one appeared to be a Military Man, and the other had the appearance of a Naval Officer. We are at present at a loss for their strange conduct but to see them wring their hands and bewail their hard fate, was truly affecting-and sufficient to move the heart of a Parish Overseer!!

After considerable Danger, they were landed in a most miserable plight, having in their haste left all their stock of CONFIDENCE on board.-A subscription was set on foot, to defray their expences back to London, where we sincerely hope they are safely arrived,and we have NO doubt, that when their hard case is laid before the Hum Secretary, he will devise some plan for their future subsistence, that will enable them to shift for themselves, without again ap-PEEL-ing to Public Charity.

The Purples' Divertisement

Will begin by a fat Man, well known by the names of Billy Rush and Bloody Mat; he will exhibit a trial of his wonderful strength, by running a Wheel to Mile-End and back again, and then run round Chapel-Field, against Cutty Edwards and Hopping Savory, for an orange and purple cockade, rather faded, and a Bottle of Patterson's swipes. After the running, a Dinner will be held at the Chequers, near the Castle. Tickets 6d. each, to be had of Madam Bunty, Surry Street corner. After the Cloth is removed, Mr. Golder will introduce two of his best collection.

The first that enters, is the MARINE LAWYER, who when he addresses you, will wink his eye, spit, rub his elbow, and shake his leg fifty times in a minute, which we trust, will be a great amusement to the company.

Part Second-Black George the plumb stalk picker, for this night only, will be washed clean, and will dance à Pas de Deux with his dear friend Brass Cock from London.

The Manager will introduce, for this night only, a swarm of LOCUSTS, wearing purple and orange wings—after which the whole swarm may positively be seen again on Thursday, but after that day will never be heard of more.

A CONCERT

will take place after the exhibition of the animals and insectscommencing with a song by the Manager, Matthew Blood, called Lusty Boy-accompanied by Snuffy Dick, the cat gut scraper and celebrated actor, Crack in the Turnpike Gate-after which a bushel of dough will be brought from the corner of Ber-Street, to feed the animals upon.

N.B. It is expected that PEEL and OGLE will be there, and further information will be given at Christopher's, the mad Printer, and at Cutt's the lazy Lawyer.
