Our artist is considered very great, and
shall convert our "Jim Along Josey" wood-cuts into your portrait. We will
also pledge ourselves to procure an illuminated cocked hat. An early
answer, stating terms, will oblige
Your obedient Servants,
GOMERSAL AND CONQUEST.
_D. O'Connell, Esq._
_T.R. Sadler's Wells._
SIR,--Understanding you are about to figure publicly and professionally in
London, may I draw your attention to my unique establishment. I can offer
you an excellent engagement as the figure-head of a vessel about to be
produced in a new nautical drama. It is at present called "The Shark and
the Alligator," but may be altered with equal effect to "The Mayor and the
Agitator." Begging a reply,
I remain, Sir,
Your's obediently,
ROBERT HONNER.
_D. O'Connell, Esq._
P.S. Do you do anything in the hornpipe line?

A PAEAN FOR DAN.
BY ONE OF THE "FINEST PISANTRY IN THE WORLD."
We have received the following genuine "Irish version" of a scene from and
for the times, from our own peculiar and poetic correspondent:--
"DEAR PUNCH,--
I beg pardon that yoursilf I'm now troublin,
But I must let you know what I just seen in Dublin;
There Daniel O'Connell,--Mayor and great agitator,--
Has been making a Judy of himself, the poor unhappy cratur.
