A correspondent has sent us the following as 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 avocations of his
profession the preceeding evening, fell asleep during the
sermon, and did not awake 'til 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.
