Editor's note: Walking the other day in Lower George-street, we found a packet without an address; we take the liberty of printing the contents, in order that the proprietor may put in his claim for it. As the poetry was prefaced with a few words of criticism, marked "C. K,." in pencil, we publish them too. In short, we give the whole MS just as found. From the preliminary critical observations, we might perhaps have imagined that the packet belongs to the Sydney Morning Herald office; but it is difficult to suppose that such poetry could please so pious an Anglo-Catholic newspaper.

Staging notes: An Ecclesiastical Dignitary is seen in the most doleful dumps while two Officers of Government are keenly watching him, one of them with pleasure visibly marked on his countenance.
