L IBERTV ) POPERY AND CIIARJTY OESPOTISM POPERY FLASH IH THE pA„ AND THE INQUISITION y TORV V / sUBSCRlrf;\ FOR DON CAR/. | No. 225. SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1835. Price One Penny. THE VANE WEATHERCOCK. Vane, as every body knows, is a most essential part of a weather- cock. Vane, or Vain, signifies empty; and from the particular emptiness of the Vane that heads our present column, it is easy to discover all the shiftings and changings, and waverings, and wind- ings of the political breezes. When the wind blows in one direc- tion, round goes the political Vane, and when another wind comes, smack it goes round again, being quite the sport and play of politi- cal airs, and party whirlwind. Whenever an air influences the fane, he twirls round with a knowing look, as much as to say, " Here I am— ready for any thing ;" and he has all the convenient characteristics of double- facedness— so that he gives one complex- ion to one quarter, and another to another quarter; in fact, he has & face to suit every turn, a nose for one, a mouth for another, and VOL. V. an eye to every thing. The caricature which beams over our co- lumns, as the sun illumines the florescent landscape below— the caricature, we repeat, shows him up ih his double capacity,— while Vane, or Vain Londonderry, is seen with one hand making an at- tack upon Popery in Ireland, he is actively occupied with his left hand in distributing subscriptions to support Popery in Spain, and to give to Don Carlos the means of carrying on that bloody crusade, which is depopulating the Catalonian provinces, and making mince- meat of our devoted countrymen. While Londonderry pretends that Popery in Ireland is an abomination, and wishes to force des- potism upon it under the name of Protestantism, he is slyly occu- pied in endeavouring to promote Popery in Spain, merely because in that country it happens to go hand in hand with despotism. The fact is simply this, that he cares little or nothing for Popery, or Protestantism, but he wishes to promote despotism under any name, and the religious portion of the affair is only of consequence so far as it happens to be conducive to the grand end of tyranny. We cannot but feel indignant at Lord Londonderry's double dealing manner of promoting Popery in one place, and suppressing it in another, and we think the ass'stance given by him and his clique to the rebel party in Spain, which is slaughtering our countrymen wholesale, demands more serious attention than the firing of a squib, even in an influential periodical like FIGARO. Such a squib ought to be exchanged for the thundering artillery of public odium, and there is no doubt that it will soon fall upon him with millioned toned violence. We sincerely lament that something is not done of a decisive nature to curb the power and the propensity of these people, to plot against their country's interests. INTERPRETER. A New Argument. Lord Melbourne said,' that the whole system had met the appro- bation of all public men. It was supported by the late government, and ought not to be interfered with.'— MORNING PAPER. W. Strange, 21, Paterrcster Row. Political Pasquinades and Political Caricatures are parts ( thoueh humble ones,) of Political History. They supply information as to the person and habits often as to the motives and objects of public men, which cannot be found elsewhere."— CROKER'S NEW WHIG GCIDE. FIGARO IN LONDON. Satire should like a polish'd razor keen. Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen. LADV MONTAGU*. J 50 FIGARO IN LONDON. This is a fine reason for supporting a measure— because it has met the public approbation of public men, and been supported by the late government. Public men's recommending a thing is the very reason why the aforesaid thing ought not to be considered tenable, and as to its being a recommendation of the late govern- ment, that comes with but an exceedingly queer grace from Lord Melbourne, whose whole life has been dedicated to an opposition of the very people, whose support of a measure he now uses as a reason for adhering to it. But politicians are funny people, and we ought not to wonder at anything proceeding from them. But though we may reg& rd these things as good jokes, Melbourne does not think us such a fool as to take them in as serious argu- ments. Orderly People. " The Duke of Orleans accompanied by M. Bertin de Vaux, one of his orderly officers, set out on Saturday morning last, at half- past 8 o'clock, for Brussels, where he will remain three weeks."— MORNING HERALD. This is what, in our own neat way, we should call a rum para- graph. The Duke of Orleans is said to have set out with one M. Bertin de Faux one of his orderly officers ; and as this piece of in- telligence is given as something new, we presume the officers he usually gets out with, are given to being dis- orderly. At all events if he does set out with such people, a very pretty set out he must sometimes make of it. We do ntit much like the name of Vaux, for it is, in our opinion, a devilish disorderly name ; but if Bertin de Vaux behaves himself in an orderly fashion, all we can say on the subject is, that we hope a certain Ex, or double Ex legal func- tionary will follow the excellent example set him by his foreign namesake. V THE ST. JAMES'S CHILDREN. We have very frequently called the attention of the public to that system of misnamed parish patriotism, which devolving into parsi- mony, clutches the crust from the jaws of the pauper child, and leaves the more aged beggar with nothing to put into his veteran stomach. Wa. have on several occasions tried to throw the [ damp of the tears of humanity upon the hot and fiery howl of parish reform, which, as practised by modern patriots, consists only in diminishing the allow- ance of the pauper so low, as to bring disease upon the po ® r creatures who are reduced to live on parochial chanty. In this instance the word CHARITY is disgracefully misapplied ; for all who remember the beautiful definition of charity in holy writ, will perceive not the small- est affinity between it, and the article that takes the name of it, as practised by the parish officers. We, however, never wish to accuse any one person wrongfully ; and if we call attention to a subject, we do it with the liberal and charitable hope that the suspected delinquents may prove, if possible, their innoeence, The late investigation into the conduct of the authorities of the parish of St. James's, has, we are glad to find, turned out satisfactory, and the charge against them of improper medical treatment has been proved to have originated with a busy and disappointed cand dale for one of the medical offices. These fellows are very unfrequently the instigators of reform in all its shapes, and when the word is in the mouth of a man who has once sought un- successfully to profit by its alleged abuses, it should be regarded with the greatest suspicion. There is one ludicrous point, about the evidence in the case alluded to, and that is, the sentimental lucubration of one of the parish beadles, who on being asked, whether the person in whose charge the children had been had treated them as the beadle would his own ? the aforesaid beadle began a long and lazy snigger, whicli excited the greatest curiosity among the bystanders— at length, after a sniff, a sneeze, and a snivel, his answer came out, which was ' that he ( the beadle,) BLUSHED TO OWN, that the person alluded to, was a TENDERER FATHER, than he, ( the beadle)." This piece of fine paro- chial red- caped, blue- coated, and yellow- caned sensibility, created a deep sensation in the room, and the blush of the beadle threw a crimson glow over the whole workhouse, which it will take the severest white- washing to cover. Whoever expected such a bit of sentiment from such a dry red- nosed chip as a parish beadle ? And his blush ! what could it have been like,— but the delicate rubicundity of a Kentish- cherry, in the middle of a snowstorm. By the bye, the parish authorities are gentlemanly fellows. One says, ' you're a d— d scoundrel,' and another says, then ' you're ad— d villain,' which elicits the reply,' OH, THEN YOU'RE ANOTHER.' This style of reasoning, and of complimentary logical deduction, is truly parochial. We like to see the greasy rogues appearing in their proper characters. It is but justice to the St. James's guardians of the poor, to say, that the verdict of the jury en- tirely exculpated tham, in this instance, from the charge of inhu- manity. THE DANCING QUEEN. The Duchess of Kent gave a ball at Kensington Palace, on Monday evening, and, according to the Court Circular, Princess Victoria, our future queen, danced till near four in the morning. We are happy to find her enjoying herself so much while she may, for we fear when she comes to the throne of these realms, and assumes the cares of government, her dancing days will be over. We could not help when we heard of it, allowing our loyal feelings to wander into a sort of unconnected strain of broken melody, which we think will in some degree bring to our [ readers minds the soft and soothing AIR.— Slumber my darling. Then caper my darling, you're perfectly right, Your mother's a lady, will let you this night. The Dukes, and the Counts, and the Barons that you see, Are dying to dance, my sweet Princess, with thee. Then caper my darling, oh, dance while you may, For care comes with crowns, as the light comes with day. This melody is so exquisitely touching, and what is rather more in its favour, it is so touchingly exquisite, that we will not disturb the hushed, and lulled, and pensive spirit of the reader by fnrther comment. We can only say, ' Long may Victoria dance, but may she never reel from the path of patriotism and principle.' NOW OR NEVER. The Bishop of Bath and Wells is by no means a slow coach. There is none of that clerical precision about the venerable old cock that ge- nerally characterises the bench episcopal. His motto seems to be, " Shove along— keep moving;" and there is a decidedly lay brusquerie about his proceedings in Parliament. It appears that the facetious old Father in God sprung up in the Lords on Tuesday night, and presented a petition for a subject not before the House, and one whicli, in the course of a short time, must have come under discussion ; but the silk- aproned prig, heedless of its irrelevancy, presents the petition, and leaves the Lords to discover that they have as yet nothing to do with it. The sober Bishop of Gloucester, who is a sort of venerable old grandfather in God, hops up on his agitated timbers, and wonders at the precipitancy of his brother of Bath and Wells; the latter, with all the freshness of a three weeks old larkling, gives one bound, and is upon his understandings to answer the sanctified Gloucestershire dri- veller—' Why,' says Bath and Wella, ' the fact is I don't care one gro- cer's fig whether the petition is irrelevant or not. All I know is, if its not done now it would never be presented; for I'm going out of town, in a day or two, and blessed if I'm coming back to present petitions for any body.' The spruce nonchalance of the sacred buffer took the House by surprise. Indeed, to make use of an expression as genteel as it is in- telligible : ' their lordships were flabbergasted.' HUMBUG ! HUMBUG I There is a paragraph in the papers, professing liberal opinions and senti- ments of humanity;— there is, we say, in some of the journals professing these principles, an article headed ' Lenity of the Administration.' This precious specimen of lenity consists in the pardoning of the Dorchester Labourers ; that is to say, the sending for them back again from New South Wales, after their having suffered all the broils, and horrors, and disgrace of transportation. But the liberal papers say, the Government has had the lenilv to pardon them. This we should call an excessively rum FIGARO IN LONDON. 109 kind of pardoning. You might a3 well chop a man's head off, and have the lenity to say to him, " Now, sir, you may live as long as you like," as to transport a number of innocent men, and then have the lenity to say to them, " Now, gentlemen, you may all come back again. We have done you great injustice ; we have punished you, though cur sending for you home i? a proof you ought never to have gone ; but now we have the lenity to acknowledge our injustice, and, in fact, shall be glad to see you l> ack again." This is the substance of the Whigs, in regard to these poor labourers. The cruelty of sending them away was remonstrated against most powerfully at the time, and why did the Government not then show their lenity ? Are we to suffer them to take credit for retracting their own judgment, and suffer them to make a merit of having recalled, when too late, an act that covers them with odium. If we do these things, we hold out a premium to men to commit wrong ; for, without the commission of the wrong in the first instance, they never would have had the eclat of having retracted it. We think we have putin its true light that egregious piece of humbug Whig lenity, and we are only mortified to find that really liberal papers can be found to propagate so rare a piece of humbug as that which we have thus powerfully walked into. THE COCKNEYS IN CONVULSIONS, I When the enquiries were proceeding for the purpose of Corporation Reform, the cockney dogs had a large soft sop thrown to them to prevent their barking, in the shape of a sort of half promise that they should not be subjected to the general reform of corporation abuses. Though we hate the system of practising deception towards any one, and though the scoundrel who acts with treachery ought to be ducked in a thousand horse ponds, and be made the hero of a hundred pillories— The mud and rotten eggs* Yet we cannot help admitting that we have an inward wicked delight at seeing the' cockneys bamboozled by the Government. They met on Tues- day at Guildhall to discuss their grievances, and propose their own re- form, the Government having paid them the compliment to consult them as to the means of their own improvement. The cockneys have been % nicely gulled by this act of consideration and respect, as they are pleased to interpret it; but in truth it is nothing more nor less than such oivility as Jack Ketch would shew to a criminal, if he were to say to him, " Here is a rope, if you will be kind enough to hang yourself, and then you can do it, you know, to your own liking." Such is the respect the Corpora- tion Commissioners have for the Louden Corporation; they say to it, " We must cut your throat, but if you like you may have the razor in your own hands to do it with." This the unhappy cockneys look upon as complimentary, and they eagerly clutch at it, as a pri vilege. On Tuesday, however, they met to consult upon the grand points of their own reform ; and, as might be anticipated at a meeting of civic dignitaries, a rare lot of rubbish was spoken. The theme they got upon was the proposed reduc- tion in the number of Common Councilmen. Some maintained that the business of the City could not be transacted without'the whole number of 240. Others seemed to have the sagacity to think that so many cooks might spoil the broth, and wished for a reduction of the number. If we could settle the thing, we should say, let there be only one Common Councilman, and that should be Ilobler: and then we might be spared the anguish of reading the debates and discussions of this milk- and- watery body. Hobler's talking to himself could do no possible harm; but it is when they collect in vast numbers that their twaddle becomes offsnsive. The grand pervading strain of the meeting was the honour of being a Common Councilman, and the ambitious views of some men in seeking the distinction. If that of Common Councilman be an honourable post, we are afraid the City must be most especially badly off in the matter of dignity. A Common Councilman's rank being an object of ambition, is oo good a joke even for the facetious conceits of the civic functionaries. We hope the commissioners will use the axe, with respect to the honours and privileges of the London Corporation. BREVITIES. Gardez- vous Sir Something Somebody, who is some nobody, moved the other night in the House of Commons to put the line on the same footing as the guards. Does he mean mail- coach- guanfe, watch - guards, or fire- guards ? * April Fools The Chancellor of the Exchequer has given notice that he shall bring in a bill for reducing the duty on newspapers in April. Does he then think the people are such April fools as to submit to merely a partial reduction ? Hold your Jaw Mr. Cleave, the proprietor of an unstamped newspaper, has been put into Tothill- fields'prison, and subjected to the silent system. The silent system is that to which Government would wish to bring all who speak truth on questions of politics. THEATRICALS. The King's Theatre is going on as swimmingly as a concern of the sort can go on, with no singers and no dancers ; that is to say, comparatively speaking,— for the dancers are indifferent, and the singers are most par- ticularly so so, as they always are at the commencement of the season. Grisi, Lablache, and Rubini, are, however, coming to sing in " La Gazza Ladra,' and then we shall no doubt find it worth our while to stroll within the doors; but at present we really do not think we should be justified in effecting an entrance. ' Beatrice di Tenda' was to have been produced on Tuesday ; but without any of our established favourites we think < Beatrice di Tenda' will not meet with very tender treatment from the critics. How- ever, we do not wish to be at all harsh, and shall therefore leave the Opera company at present to create what harmony and what impression it may with its present poor resources. Laporte, however, is so much our favourite, that it would take a great deal more than his present bad company to cause us to flare up against him. The bailiffs having at last let him alone, far be it from us to shackle him. Covent Garden is in about as bad a state as it can be ; and the ' Fate of War,' with the novelty of ' Zampa,' have contributed to bring it down, if possible, to a much lower ebb than formerly. Captain Wilson has written along rigmarole to the Sunday Times, complaining of his piece having been damned, and saying that the Covent Garden performers did not speak the words he had put down for them. Now, our humble opi- nion is, that Wilson is most particularly indebted to those particular ac- tors, who were so particular as not to like speaking the Captain's words ; for such words as were spoken gave but a very sorry specimen of the gal- lant Captain's abilities. The fact is, with all due deference to the gallant Captain, we should say, that the gallant Captain must be a much better wielder of the sword than he is of the pen; and the less he has to do with the latter article, we should say the better it would be for himself and for society. However, the Captain must have been excessively soft, if he fancied for one moment that his piece would receive much improvement from the extemporaneous ebullitions of the present Covent Garden com- pany. If Captain Wilson fancied that the gentlemen of the Surrey were capable of refining even the coarsest language, the aforesaid Captain was in the wrong, as experience has by this time most probably taught him. ' Zampa' has been, according to the bills, so decidedly successful, that it will not be performed again ; and the consequence is, that it fills up six inches in the play- bill, which announces the favourable manner of its re- ception, though it does not venture to announce it for repetition. Osbaldiston has, it appears, taken Sadler's Wells; and if he would only give up Covent Garden, he would be quite in his element. He made all his money at the Surrey, and would lose it all if he stopped long enough at Covent Garden; but if he follows the bent of his Fitzballian predilections at Sadler's Wells, he will perhaps rescue the remnant of what is still left to him of his Surrey earnings. But we presume he found out that he had got the Sadler's Wells company at Covent Garden, and he is very properly resolved to put it back again into its old quarters. The actors have been • fish out of water' all the season, but at Sadler's Wells, with the new river under the stage, they must go on swimmingly. The theatrical world is in a bit of a revolution just now, Rayner's li- cense to the Strand Theatre is a grand triumph for the principles of jus- tice ; and shews, that though riches and corruption may for a time procure the favouring of particular interests, yet, in the end, the voice of common justice is triumphant over dinner- table intrigues and official dishonesty.— Mash, of the Chamberlain's Office, would have been frightfully exposed, had not Rayner's license been given. The people at the Chamberlain's Office, fools as they really are, knew this, and were obliged to give Rayner his license the very day before the dreaded exposure at the public meeting that had been advertised. We hear that the Bonds have taken the Strand Theatre, or that Rayner means to open it himself. Whichever way it may be, we can only say, we wish success to it. But most of all are we pleased to find, that however great may be the inclination on the part of the myrmidons of office to trade in theatrical licenses, the public eye is too J. 52 FIGARO IN LONDON. vigilant, and the public voice too potent, to suffer an undue favouring of individuals. We thoroughly acquit the Marquis of Conyngharn of any participation in this illicit traffic, this prostitution and sale of authority; but it is his duty to look well to the conduct of his mercenary underlings, who bring the office into contempt by their alleged traffic in its dispen- sing. The various correspondents who have addressed us on this subject must be aware that we cannot, upon the mere vague reports of anonymous parties, make use of the various statements we have received. We may be induced to enquire further, and if we have well authenticated state- ments, we certainly shall not be backward in making the most ample use of them. Report says that Vestris has made £ 5000 this season. She has had an excellent company, to whom she pays handsome salaries, and she well deserves the thanks of the profession for her liberal management, as she does the admiration of the public, for her skill and personal talent in di- recting and acting at her own establishment. Young Mathews has been a great source of profit to her, and she handsomely doubled his salary, for the purpose of securing him. This is clever management. Had she higgled and haggled, and sounded, and bargained, and shuffled, she would have lost his aid ; but, by a bold and liberal offer, she has secured him to herself,— and, what is better, she has bound him to her by inclination as well as by salary, for he knows how to appreciate her open and straight- forward liberal mode of dealing. It is better for a manager to secure the good feeling of those about him. Vestris has done this, because she acts in a generous and open manner. She has not half the mean trickery that distinguishes some managers, and she has found the benefit of it. Mr. Braham, it is said, has made money in his first season. He ought to think himself fortunate, for the management has not always been what it should have been. ' Henriquez' has been brought out at Drury Lane, for the very excellent managerial reason that' Separation' has failed at Covent Garden ; and as Bunn found that people would not go to see Miss Joanna Baillie's play for 4s., 2s, and Is., he thought they must come and see it for 7s., 3s. 6d., and 2s. They, however, do not go to see it at any price ; and, in con- sequence of its extraordinary attraction and unparalleled success, it is not heing played any where. Vandenhoff did his best, and Warde did his second best; while Diddear, who, since G. Bennett's secession, has had it all his own way, like a black beetle in a treacle jar, had a shy at a bit of second- rate tragedy. The whole thing went off as flatly, if not as smoothly, and as coldly, if not as brilliantly, as a marble slab. This is another piece of bad management, on the part of Bunn, and he is fast losing the stupidly unjust character that one or two have been giving him for ability. THEATRICAL NEWS, Vestris is going to Liverpool, with Charles Mathews and Mr. Brougham. What Mr. Brougham is going to do God and the manager can tell, not we. Buckstoneis going to the Pavilion for a short time, at twenty pounds per week. Morris will give ballets at the Haymarket. We wish him luck; and trust that, with caper sauce, he may be enabled to get a leg of mutton for his dinner, which for some seasons past this theatre has not yielded him. The English Opera is not likely to op? n under the regime of the com- pany ; they are falling out among themselves lerribly. Each man is struggling for parts, and thus the interest of the whole is compromised. TO CORRESPONDENTS No. 167 of ' Figaro in London,' with Six Caricatures, is again re- printed.
