Editor's note: There is now in the employ of Mr Hubbard an elderly man of the name William Todd, well known in Parramatta as an excellent joiner and cabinet-maker. This man, although he never possessed the advantages of a good education, has composed several creditable pieces of poetry, and amongst them two plays, adapted for the stage. The poetical talent of Todd is another instance of the 'poeta nasciter;' but unfortunately, like many others in similar situations, he has been doomed to 'blush unseen' in comparative obscurity. We subjoin the following song as a trifling specimen of his ability.
