CHEAP INFORMATION.
I'll tell you for nothing, or I am a sinner,Where you will get a good Supper or Dinner;
And if you are fond of good Harmony,
You can hear a good Song, a Duet, or a Glee.
On Thursday evening it is a fine treat,
When the ancient Society of Kœnudeles meet:
The Peacock Tavern is in Maiden Lane,
And all who have been there will go there again.

THE JAPAN-BLACKING MAN.
A Parody.
Not far from Charing Cross, 'tis said,
One Warren, in the Blacking trade,
Makes it on so good a plan,
That he is called the Blacking-man;
The real Japan, Jet Blacking-man,
The brilliant, dazzling Blacking-man!
No one has yet, or ever can,
Surpass this far-fam'd Blacking-man.

At No. 30 in the Strand,
The shop's well known, and close at hand,
It is the place for the real Japan,
Made by the Jet-Black Blacking-man,
The famous well-known Blacking-man,
The not-to-be-equalled Blacking-man,—
No one has yet, or ever can,
Outshine the brilliant Blacking-man.

PRINTING EXTRAORDINARY.
Who has not of Elliot, the Printer, heard tell,—In White-Hart Yard, Drury Lane, he doth dwell:
His large Posting-Bills, boldly displayed,
Are the best and the cheapest in the Printing trade;
He is the man possess'd of the power
To print you 500 Bills within an hour,
Cards at 2s. per hundred, so neat,
That no one in London his style can defeat.
