sH broker % bondage. William Manks, broker, of 32 Park row, was brought up, for the hfth time in fortnight, for being | :, leetie the most 1" drunk of any man we have seen these six months. When put to the bar, he gave a peculiarly penetrating look at Justlee Wyman through pair ol " large, dark and dreamy,a notto say drunk eii eyes, as much as to say

 We have met--'tls even so,

 And twas then you di1 commit me,

 And now should like to go--

 That is, If you'n permit me. But not to anticipate, we will state what passed on the occasion

 Judge.--Nell, Manks, Pm sorry to see you here again.

 Manks.--No more so, judge, than am to be the subject of your sorrow.

 Jndge.-WhY is it that you will so fre- quently get in liquor!

 Manks.--It would be more reasonable, f you were to ask why iiquor viii SD ffle- quently get into me.

 Judge.--.Why, it's scarcely a week since you last signed bond for your better be- haviour.

 Manks.--Very true; but I've signed many bonds since then. Besides, bonds of all kinds are now at great discount, and it's therefore too much 10 expect that mine should be at par. Besides, am now un- der bonds of hetrothment to a young lady. who will cancel her contract if she hears of this scrape.

 Judge.--Well, have you any money to pay your fine!

 Manks.--ln fine, Judge, have not.

 Judge.--Then must be under the pain ful necessity of committing you.

 Manks.--I am sorry that you should be put to any pain on my account, and there- fore hope that you will not invest my bank rupt body in Capt. Swain's miscellaneous stock, for he is the most ungallant s,caia to man or woman I ever met with.

 Judge.--You say you are without funds, and yet you venture to speculate in the bonds of Hymen--that smacks of a misno- mer.

 Manks.-T's different miss from Hiss .Nomer that mean to smack, if don't mss my mark. Miss Mark is the name of the young lady to whom he is betrothed.

 Judge.--Well I'll let you go this time, but if you get so severely shot in the neck as you were last night, you'll be very apt to over skoof the mark. Now go, and don't let me hear of your hoaoriag any more dratiS upon the rum bottle, or at least lei them be of a smaller amount than hitherto.

 Manks.--I had the misfortune to re- ceive a classic education, sir, and my old prejudices still cling to me, "Fhat shallow draughts intoxieate the

 brain,

 But drinking largely sohers Us again. = And we are not like to agree upon this diff fcult pint, we'll agree to differ, and I'll cut short the controversy by cutting my stick. Manks, (wbo was once a respectable bro- ker in Wall si.) then politely bowed to the Magistrates, walked out of the office, ano walked into the first rum-hole he saw.
