FI& ARO Inr LOMDOM Satire should like a polish'd razor keen, Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen.— LADY MONTAGUE. " Political Pasouinades and Political Caricatures are parts ( though humble ones,) of Political History. Thev 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 GUIDE. No. 18S. SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1835. [ Price One Penny, THE REAL DAME PARTINGTON. The real Dame Partington who would stop the rushing waves of the wide Atlantic of Reform by putting on in a great bustle the pat- tens of prerogative and attempting to mop up the still swelling tide with the mop of a royal veto! We are forbidden to speak seriouslv on this subject by the stamp laws, but the time has come, as will be seen by an advertisement in our columns, that these matters will be brought in a proper shape before the people. So the king is to put his veto on Church Reform. The king is VOL. IV. to take the weight of the parson's iniquity and extortion on his own shoulders. A broad back has king Billy, and a strong heart, or how could he endure the constant chastisement of his better- half? but hard as his back may be, and though his heart be as strong as a barrel of double stout, Billy must go to the wall, when ever John Bull thinks it time to give him a shove. Is it wise in these court people to push forward the royal puppet in this man- ner ? Suppose, for instance, in these economical times, that the House of Commons were to take into consideration the expenses of the useless pageantry of a crown and court, and to ask what good was produced to the nation by the 800,00CM. per annum, which ' fructifies' in the purlieus of Windsor, and St. James's?— The Court of Common Council proposes to do away with that ob- solete bit of gilt gingerbread, and brass kettle the Lord Mayor's coach, and there are many persons, both in and out of the House of Commons, who think the state coach a piece of useless lumber and expensive ostentation. When the landlords found their ren- tals decreasing, and their farms tenantless, from the heavy oppres- sion of tithes, they quietly fling the parsons overboard. The king has taken them up— what will become of the king? But then ' the king's name is a tower of strength.' Indeed! The day of names has gone by, musty antiquity is no longer revered, and the new abstract idea of a sovereign is not likely to be much honoured or regarded. There was no revolution in the country where those respectable old gentlemen, ' the Charlies,' were cashiered at one fell swoop and deprived of their " vested rights," The Tories talked big, to be sure, but no regiment of gallant horse or sturdy infantry appeared in the field to support the Boroughmongers against the consequences of the Reform Bill. People will speak and vote for humbug, but he must indeed be a double- refined ass of a most uncommon breed who would fight for humbug; and we question if the approaching comet was to sweep off all the court and its appurtenances, whether the people of England would think it worth their while to send abroad for another Dutchman and his guards to do them the honour of reigning over them, and filling Printed by G^ Cowie, 13, Newcastle- street, Strand. 120 FIGARO IN LONDON. 179 his pockets, and fighting his battles at their expense. Poor Billy's advisers and his friends should keep him quiet, he is a good old gentleman in his way, and has been of some advantage to the people. It would be a pity, therefore, that his latter days should be disturbed. We would save him from mischief, but cannot pro- tect him from ridicule, for Seymour has seized upon him with iron grasp, and winding round him like the terrific boa- constrictor, has crushed him in the folds of his satiric talent. Oh, Seymour! these are hours of happiness, which are due to thee alone, most glorious patriot— to thee we turn for the solace of our cares, in thee we find, in the hour of our deepest patriotic suffering, the luxury of a laugh. But look at Dame Parkington, the real Dame Partington. There is as it were a certain Hogarthean attention to minutiae in Seymours drawings, which furnish an episode and additional finish to his composition. In our present engraving we need only refer to the mop, and the sign of the public house, which the Royal Partington is endeavouring to preserve from the waves. INTERPRETER. Sons v. Fathers. We are sorry to find from the police reports that filial affection is by no means in that flourishing condition we should be pleased to announce, and that the daily papers continually teem with police reports, in which sons are charged with breaking their fathers' heads, and that in fact the social system is so thoroughly decayed, that venerable sires are continually being floored by their undutiful off- pring. The other day a publican was severely whoppi d by his son, a hopeful youth in a forest of black whiskers ; and from six years old to sixty, obstrepor- ous children are continually showing fight against the authors of their life and being. That there are many fathers who deserve to be thrashed within an inch of their lives, is a fact we by no means dispute ; but there are some who certainly are not entitled to that cruel degree of whackery which is now the fashion for sons to inflict on their parents. These remarks are made without the hope of suggesting a remedy, but merely with the view of proving that the world is as topsy turvey as it can be : several fathers have applied for our advice with respect to a pugilistic son, but ' hit him again, old boy,' is our respectful and only recommendation to the ill- used head of a family. The Parish Reform Humbug. There has been a vast deal of humbug spoken on the subject of Parochial Reform, and a nest of small tradesmen interlarded with a petti- fogging lawyer or two, have usurped the high sounding title of an Association for the purpose of seeing parish affairs properly administered. As far as we can see the benefit of these fellows and their proceedings, it is positively none. They meet together, drink filthy beer, smoke nasty tobacco, spit upon the ground, and having belched forth some worn out rubbish about the good of the parish, reel home half muzzy, are abused by their wives for stopping out late, and failing asleep in the middle of a curtain lecture, dream that they are parochial patriots. These poor milk and water minded, pease pudding headed, hard hearted, and dirty shirted vagabonds, fancy they do a great deal of good, if they can re- duce the rates which they have to pay, if the reduction be only one farthing in the pound, but they do not consider how much they rob the poor, and how many they add to the list of starving, by the hard- hearted meanness, which under the assumed name of parochial reform, is nothing better than cruelty, and in the end cold- blooded murder of many of the paupers who apply for relief to the parish officer. Jurymen's Wisdom. The wisdom of jurors has long been proverbial, but it is only now and then that they fare up with a bit of extra delicious wisdom. We cannot help giving I lie following little anecdote of a jury that sat upon a person who was killed by the wound of a bayonet. The coroner directed the jury to find as a verdict that, " the deceased came to bis death under suspicious circumstances." Upon this, one of the enlight- ened jurymen, vociferated the following pithy dissent from the opinion of the coroner :--" Nonsense, he was'nt stabbed wider suspicious circumstances, hut, it was under the ribs he was stabbed." Magisterial Sentiment. Mr. Jeremy said he should not let an offender of this sort escape unpunished, he was one of those brutes, going about with the shape of man, who committed outrages of, a most serious nature; and unless he paid 51. for the assault, he should be committed for two months tojail.— POLICE RETORT. The police magistrates in general are such a deliberate set of un- adulterated ruffians, and sentiment comes from them so very seldom, that a touch of it is really one of the most refreshing things that can possibly be imagined. We have, however, in the paragraph quoted above, a striking instance of a magistrate in the mood to be sentimental, and he has accordingly yelped forth as rare a cataract of pure milk and water, as was ever slobered through the pages of a novel, for the tender sensibilities of nursery maids and milliners. We must, however, take leave to tell Jeremy, ( the sensitive beak,) that his first attempt at senti- ment, is marked by a decided sky hlueishness, which is more fitted to the slop- basin than the bench of justice. There is a fresh stupidity about the thing that harmonises well with the locality lhat gave birth to it, in fact, there is a sort of Union Hellishness in the thing which deserves a quietus at ihe hands of FIGARO. He first begins with telling some paltry offender, " that he is one of those monsters who go about 111 the shape of men," now we should like to enquire of Jeremy who are those monsters that go about in the shape of men f We were not aware that there was any particular kind of monsters, who specially luxurate in the " shape of men," except, indeed, he means the police magistrates themselves, whom he has by accident described rather graphically. We however, regret that though this is ail excessively fine, there is in the denouement a sort of tendency to anti- climax which is rather distructive to the previous force of the sentence. At'ler the " monsters in the shape of men," we should have expected something very terrific but the whole thing ends with a miserable observation that the offender must be fried £ 5. What a dispicable sum to affix as the penalty for being " a monster in the shape of man " Good lord! we should have thought death at Ja^ t would have been the penalty for any such wretch; but tive pounds is the magisterial idea of visiting with retribution the crime of man- monsterism. Mr. Jeremy should give up sentiment in the most speedy way possible. CITY NEWS. Lady Farebrother the other day in swallowing some tripe, was seized with such a shivering lit, that she shook the Mansion House to its very foundations— and a dispatch was instantly hurried off to his majesty at Guildhall, who fainted into the arms of one of the petty constables. Hobler had a cough last night. When our express left he was upon the heavy sneeze. Alderman Scales was very muzzy on Tuesday night. His head slaughterman took advantage of his master's condition to rob him of his tobacco stopper. CITY DOINGS. King Farebrother took a saucer of snails at the fish stall oppo- site Newgate Street. His filthy majesty drained the juice with all the gusto of a six year old sweep, or a superannuated charity boy. Hobler partook of a haporth of cherries on Monday. He first fixed on Kentish, but subsequently changed his mind iti favour of black- guard ( black- heart.) Alderman Scales visited the Garrick Theatre on Wednesday. He conversed cheerfully with the box- keepers, and expressed him- self highly delighted with the naw melodrama, called Blood, Bones and Bluster, or the Brawney Butchers of Bavaria. Young Master Farebrother danced, capered, and played at mar- bles yesterday for some hours, at the back of the Bank, in Loth- bury. A gooseberry fool party was given by Hobler, last week. Every body was delighted with the fool, and declared unanimously that Hobler's house is the only place in the world where it can be met with in perfection. Young Scales stood upon his head on Thursday, for an hour and a half. That dashing young fashionable bought a gla3s brooch on Friday. FIGARO IN LONDON. 179 CITY PARLIAMENT. Mr. Bobler gave notice that on Monday next, he should move leave to bring in a bill to regulate ihe speed of the dirty water through the drains; and also to enquire into the amount of cinders sifted in the course of the year, within five miles of Parley Street. Alderman Scales gave notice that he should move for an account of all the donkies within the bills of mortality, and also of all the living ones, including the names of the common council- men and their families. Mr. Alderman Venables has given notice that on Tuesday next he will move his bedstead into the kitchen for coolness; as those industri- ous little brutes— the bugs, have been busy in the worthy alderman's bed- room. Mr. Hobler intends moving the supplies next Tuesday. The estimates are as follow: Onions ( per quarter,) - Swipes ( do.) Tom Trot ( for the City Police,) Secret Service ( gin, & c.) 0 0 0| 50 2 6 0 6 2 0 5 6 It is expected there will be the very strongest opposition to the vote for tom- trot for the city police; as it is supposed that that dismal body do not want that salacious luxury. An address is to be moved to the king of the city, praying him to stand upon bis head in the middle of Tooley Street, for the benefit of the grand corn and bunion dispensary. SMALL LEGISLATORS. There are a number of good silly old gentlemen in the House of Commons, who seem to think that nothing can go right without an Act of Parliament to regulate it, Carts and coaches are numbered and ticketed by law, and it appears mysterious how our watches and bats have as yet escaped the excise and tax officers. We have often thought that it would be highly advisable for each person to have his name, number, and address, fastened by a tin plate to the back of his coat, so that he might always be recognised in any row or scrape. In the meanwhile, however, while concocting this great measure, we beg leave to offer to the attention of would belegislators the following :— Hints for Aets of Parliament. ACT 1st.— An act regulating the size and weight of penny plumb buns, and enacting that not less than six, nor exceeding eight green gooseberry, shall be put into a penny tart, under the pain of forfeiture, one half to our lord the king, and the other to the informer. ALSO a clause for the better ordering of lollipops. ACT 2.— An act to prevent persons eat; ng green peas with two- progged forks. ACT 2.-— An act to prevent cruelty to visitors, prohibiting the galloping of young children, admitted after dinner, over the small- clothes of visitors, spilling their wine, eating their fruit, and wiping their hands on the waistcoats of the gentlemen, and the white dresses of the ladies. ACT 4.--- An act to oblige persons to blow their hot hasty- pud- ding in the spoon, for the space of fifteen seconds, before eating the same " for that many and divers persons have been grieviously burned, scalded, and damaged in their mouths, tongues, gullets, windpipes, and stomachs, by greedily, voraciously, hastily, and gluttonously, eating and devouring, bolting and swallowing, hot hasty- pudding, & c. & c. It is, therefore, hereby enacted, that all grown persons and adults, of an estate to hold a spoon, shall blow and puff such hasty- pudding in a spoon, for a space not under fifteen seconds, under the penalty of, & c. & c. ACT 5.—- An act to oblige parents to blow their children's noses, or to cause them to blown by the nurse, cook, honsemaid, footman, coachman, or some other proper and fit person ; three times a day in summer, and twenty in winter, under the penalty of & c. & c. ACT 6.—- An act to prevent adults from swallowing cherry- stones, and giving magistrates discretionary power respecting the same, to be exercised by right of search in private, & c. Under penalties, quant, suf. BREVITIES. Roasted Peas. Poor Pease, the Quaker member, has been terribly quizzed by his brother Commoners. We have heard of Peas being boiled before, but this is the first instance we have met with of Peas( e) being roasted. A dangerous Situation. An Address to the King was moved the other day, recommending him to allow the removal of the walls of St. Stephens, as they were pronounced to be dangerous. This place, in our opinion, must always have been dangerous, when we consider the gang by whom it has been infested. A Singular Place. Sir Robert Peel has been praying to the Commons to allow Tamwort/ i to be exempted from the effects of the Corporation Bill. It was said by Lord J. Russell that Tamroorth was not sufficiently peculiar to be particularly exempted from a general bill; but we shuuldsay, the place that has sent Sir Robert Peel to Parliament, has shewn itself so peculiar and singular, as to warrant its exemption from any rule that is general, THEATRICALS The Opera is now going towards the end of the season, and the worthy Seguin, the hero of the grey head, and black cotton socks, is about to try the strength of a forty years claim on public tavour in risking a benefit. The opera is to be ' Marino Faliero.' in which Ofrisi has refused fo play very often this stason, because the music is too higli for her voice, and also because there are a number of other grand parts in the opera. The grey headed Seguin, and who would not have grey hairs that has been connected for several years with the manage- ment ? intends making her play the p irt on this occasion, and a bumper is to' be expected. Our frieud Dubourg, the curly- headed pastry- cook, took a benefit at the Opera the other night: but $ vhy this Adonis ofajaunay, should have thought himself entitled to one we have not been able to discover. Of music he knows nothing more than that a flat is not to B- e sharp, though we understand he plays tbe Rogues March on the triangle with a delicacy of touch only to be equalled by thdt of a blacksmith beating out a horse- shoe on his anvil. The house was crowded with flying pie- men, Chelsea bun venders, and all the numerous train of personal friends, and intimate acquaintances in the extensive suite ( or s- weet,) of the celebrated pastry- cook. It is enough to make any man's heart ache to see the manner in which ' The Cure for the Heart Ache,' and other sterling comedies are performed at the Hay market. With the exception of Farren, there is not a person in the caste deserving the title of an actor. The rapid bustle and slouching gate of Vining, was the very antipodes of Young Rapid; and Strickland's Vortex is absolutely intolerable. This wholesale murder of English comedy, this strangling of wit, and smcthering of humour, at the instigation and under the patronage of Mr. Morris, should be forthwith stopped by special injunction of the Lord Chamberlain. Tbe veriest barn infesting, country- strolling com- pany of actors, could muster a stronger caste for a comedy than the Haymarket Theatre. The English Opera goes on with greal eclat of drums and trumpets, and a second rate flourish of fiddles to the old tune of Miss Malibran Romer. Arnold is said to have gone out of his senses on hearing of Bunn's magnificent present, so far surpassing his own. 122 FIGARO IN LONDON. That coolest theatre the Queens, so called we suppose from some extremely cool things being done there, has brought out a new petite comedy of much talent, entitled ' Catching an Heiress.' Mrs. Nisbett's acting in this is quite charming— there is an elegant sprightleness and easy nonchalance about her style, which if it be not nature is something even more delightful. ' The Corsair's Revenge,' at the Victoria, we have not yet had an opportunity of seeing; but our second hearing of ' Minerali,' enables us to add to our former praise of that melo- drama. The author has shown great talent in the delineation of his characters, and the actors have done him justice by their performance. There is one gentleman of whose acting we entertain a very high opinion, and who appears to ui likely to reach the pinnacle of his profession. We allude to Mr. Moss, who, in many parts of his performance, reminded us strongly of Kean. We look to hear of him, in a short time, at the large houses — certain we are that he is no pretender, nor unskilled in his art. Vauxhall Gardens are this year particularly dull; and nothing seems to be going on until the company contrive to throw a little spirit into the night's proceedings, by getting drunk upon some of the rummest punch ever tasted, and some gooseberry, at a guinea per bottle, acting the apologist for champagne. The amusements are of a most mediocre kind, consisting of Mr. Mears as primo tenore, who warbles forth, with a most innocent phiz, playful little ballads about Lubin, Collin, and all the other country bumpkins who make such pretty figures in pas- torals ; and whose occupations being to tend sheep, are very naturally represented as sheepish as possible. There is a precious old file, called Buckingham, who essays to give imitations, which are of that sterling old kind that certainly b: ings to mind the originals ; but it is a lucky thing for him that he can imitate, for if he could not do that, his own talent is of that dubious order that he might possibly be better employed at home shelling peas, or washing lettuces, than acting even at Vaux- hall, where they are not over critical. The fete of Versailles is certainly a splendid exhibition; and. the arrival of Neptune in a man- of- war, at an inland palace, is an idea worthy of the machinists of Vauxhall, who have souls, or rather hammers, nails, and glue- plots, far above mere vulgar probability. The diorama of Dover and Calais is well worthy a visit; and altogether, with the aid of hams, chickens, stout, punch, and gooseberry, one may spend an agreeable evening enough at the ex- pense of about two sovereigns. NOTICE. In consequence of the extraordinary demand for WHIGGERIRS AND WAGGERIES and the continually increasing sale of that highly popular work, the proprietor has been induced, at an immense expense, to pre- pare a second number. Orders should be immediately forwarded to the publisher, W. Strange, Paternoster Row. ADVERTISEMENTS. Aut viaminveniam, aut faciarn. T^ HE DAILY NATIONAL GAZETTE.
