LESSONS FOR SENATORS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.

SIR—An industrious country cousin of mine has sent me the en- closed, thinking it might be useful to remind our M. P.'s of their ditties in the approaching session. Perhaps you deem them incorrigible in their shilling-gallery habits.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. F.

The Honourable Member said, that the proceedings of Political had recently been much s:igataticed but he must protest that he had never it• tressed at any Political Union to which he belonged'. so disgraceful an uproar as he had seen that night.
