For of all prayers prayed 'neath the sun
There is no prayer like work well done,
Miserable sinners!

GOLDEN BULLETS.

Last week news arrived from Santa Fe of a tribe of warlike Indians, who
use "Golden Bullets." Since then MR. WYLD--of the Great Globe--has been
daily beset by gentlemen from the Minories and Houndsditch, for maps of
the exact locality. COLONEL ISRAEL is at this moment raising a company
of the Jewish persuasion, to be called the Rag Fair Rangers.

A REGULAR NUISANCE.

MR. PUNCH has long ago been appointed, by and under his own act,
Inspector-General of Nuisances, and he may certainly take credit for the
removal of a great many nuisances long before the legislature gave its
attention to the subject.

_Mr. Punch_ has lately been engaged in the inspection of the great City
of London Corporation Nuisance, and refers to the annexed report for the
result of his observations:

REPORT.

My attention was first drawn to the Corporation Nuisance by the very bad
odour surrounding the locality, and by a very general rumour that an
offensive body, in a most alarming state of corruption, was lying within
the precincts of the City of London.

I accordingly proceeded to visit the spot, where a lamentable scene
presented itself. I found some four-and-twenty individuals huddled, or,
rather, closeted together, in one room, surrounded by a quantity of
refuse vegetable and animal matter (apparently composed of pine-apple
and venison), the effluvium from which was of the most deleterious
character. On examining further, I found a large quantity of thick
fluid, in the midst of which were several portions of a glutinous green
turtley material, and over the surface a sort of coating had formed,
which might almost be cut with a knife--so thick was the matter that had
settled on the top of the stagnant liquid. This deleterious wash had
been placed in vessels resembling soup-tureens, and was no doubt
intended for removal, a great deal of it having been already got rid of
by the persons assembled in the room, who appear, however, to have been
unable to proceed further with their disgusting operation. I found them
in a state of considerable exhaustion among the refuse stuff
