   A correspondent has sent us the following as a fact: Last
Sunday afternoon the clerk of a certain chapel not an
hundred miles from John-street, Bedford Row, after making
too free with the juice of the all potent grape at dinner,
and being rather fatigued from the vocations of his
profession the preceding evening, fell asleep during the
sermon, and did not awake till the organ was playing the
last voluntary.  The sound of the organ, it is supposed,
rather disturbed him, and he, being probably in a dream,
began singing Ye Warwickshire Lads and Ye Lasses.
