Six,—The Yorkshireman's coat-of-arms consists of a shield surmounted by a

horse's head and neck, and supported on the right side by a hostler, and on the other by a huntsman; on the shield is a fly, a flea, a ham, and a magpie ; underneath is a scroll with the words, " Qui capit ille habet." And a Yorkshfreman's qualifications you see.

To backbite and sponge and to chatter amain, And anything else, Sir, by which he may gain. The horse shows they buy few, though many they steal ; Unhanged they're worth naught doth the gammon reveal.

But let Censure stand by and not bias the mind, For others as bad as the Yorkshire you'll find."

—I am, Sir, &c., T. ICILNER CLARKE.
