OCTOBER has its name from _octo_, "eight,"
Though 'tis the tenth p'rhaps 'tis as well to state.
Such sixes and such sevens the months were knocked to,
That ten became translated into _octo_.
4th. News arrived of the loss of the overland mail, and the persons
expecting their correspondence left in a state of unlettered ignorance.
25th. Nomination of candidates for the City. Mr. Baring put up with Mr.

down in Mr. Pattison's favour.
