THE PRINCE'S DAY.

—

Air—* St. Patrick's Day.”
Though dark are our sorrows, to-day we'll forget them,
And smile through our tears like a suabeam in
show'rs ;
There never were hearts, if our rulers would let thom,
More form'd to be tranquil and blest than ours!
But just when the chain has ceas'd to pain,
And hope has enwreath'd it round with Howers,
There comes a new link, our spirits to sink!
Oh! the joy of such hearts, like the light of the poles,
Is.a flash amid darkness, too brilliant to stay:
Bat though ‘iwere the last little spark in our souls,
We must light it up now, on our Prince's day.

Contempt on the minion who calls you disloyal!
Though fieree to your foe, to your friends you are
true;
And the tribute most high to a bead that is royal,
Is love trom a heart that loves Iberty too.
While cowards who blight your fume, your right
Would shrink from the blaze of the battle array ;
The standard of green in front would be seen—
Oh! my Iite on your taith! were you summon'a this
minute,
You'd cast every bitter remembrance away,
And shew what the arm of old Evin has in it,
When roused by the foe on her Prince's day,

He loves the green isle, and his love is recorded
Jn hearts which have sutfer'd too much to forget;
And hope shall be crown'd, and attachment rewarded,
And Erin's gay jubilee shine out yet!
The gem may be-broke by many a stroke,
But nothing can cloud its native ray;
Each fragment will cast a light to the last;
And thus Evin, my country! though broken thou art,
‘There's a lustre with thee that ne'er will decay ;
A spirit that beams through each suffering part,
And now smiles at their pain, on the Prince's day.

Pall Mall Garetie remarks; —

Mr, Disrveli’s speech was a surprise to all but those
members of the Government whe are inthe Cabinet,

to the najority of Mr, Disravli’s own tollowers it was a

rithat a half blunder had been committed when Mr.
Disracli sat down, that we believe the public will soon
hear that one or two of the subordinate members ot
the Government propose to resign,
a rumor va Monday uight that oue or more resignations
had already been sent in.

The decree, recently issued, which provides for the
augmentation of the cavalry squadrons of the French
army, ls lueked upoa as an indication of the fatentions
of the Emperer to increase the effective as well as the
reserve et the French army. The Paris correspondent
of the Morning Post says that “ no one seems to doubt
that the Eniperor has decided on an increased warlike
expenditare for what, in Imperial language, is termed
‘defensive and peace purposes.’ Tt is diMeule to
imagine who is gob g to attack France; and if the
army is plived on something like a war footing, is not
that a dangerous instrument to hold in hand?”
