FIGARO II LOMDOW. Satire should like a polish'd razor keen, Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen.— LADY MONTAGUE. " Political Pasquinades and Political Caricatures are parts ( though 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 GUIDE. SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1835. ( Price One Penny. ENLISTING RECRUITS. Arthur.— Now, then, my fine fellow, now is your time. Glory, honour, religion, call for your assistance. Stand by the Church, the King, and the Taxes. John Bull.— Softly, softly, not so fast. Too much pepper spoils porridge. Your glory, your honour, your religion, your church, and your king, are all very fine things, no doubt, but what will they C03t ? I think ' ee said taxes, too, did'nt ' ee ? Arthur.— Yes, yes, taxes, my lad; that's the bounty money we give you; the more taxes taken the more fun. Plenty of taxes produce plenty of money. Old Fill- the- Pot, a run away clergyman, then put in a word— VOL. IV. " Think of the horrid Papists, John. Would you have your flesh fried in a Smithfield fire, with big Dan and Father Mac Craghnag- han to stir the coals. Think of your body here, and your immor- tal soul hereafter, John ! Would a Briton let a paltry matter of money blunt his patriotic ardour for his country and his church ? Billy King, the silly fool of the village, who was usually led by the nose bv whoever could get hold of his ear, now addressed ho- nest John Bull as follows : You see, Johnny, my fine fellow, my noble boy, I carry the flag for these gentlemen, and I and my father before me have stuck by it, ar. d profited by it. Oh, John, a bundle of tithe receipts is worth fifty volumes of Den's Theology. Fight for the good cause ; up with the parsons, and down with the Papists! But John was not to be bamboozled in this manner. He laid his ear on his shoulder, and with a contemplative glance of his eye pushed his hand to the deepest recesses of his breeches pocket, where finding nothing but a solitary sixpence and the duplicate af his watch, which he had pawned to pay the registry of his vote, he said he had had enough of battles and bloody noses to last him for some years. " Taxes is taxes nevertheless," continued he; " and when there's no money to pay, what's to be done." Arthur.— But if we pour the money back into your pocket as fast as it came out, isn't it the same thing ? You should leave these matters to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the other crack hands who are paid to do the work. John Bull.— Paid, indeed! work, forsooth ! Haven't they rob- bed me of every shilling, and taken away from me my last solitary hope of the Poor House, which I used to consider an heir loom in my family, and a sort of sinecure annuity for my old age. Get out of my sight, you rascals, or I'll rouse the village, and crack your old drum on your thick skulls.' John was soon as good as his word, and the No Popery Press Gang were soon kicked and hurled out of the country back to their lodging in some dirty alley of Westminster. Printed by G^ Cowie, 13, Newcastle- street, Strand. 124 FIGARO IN LONDON. 179 INTERPRETER. A Frail Club. " The curious and valuable collection of theatrical books, relics, and portraits, the property of the late Charles Mathews, is about to be sold by Messrs. Sotheby and Son. The Garrick Club have, wc understand, manifested a strong inclination to become the purchasers of the oil paint- ings."— Morning Post. It is extremely, easy for the Garrick Club to " manifest strong incli nations" to get hold of property— but the first thing to be done in these cases of a desire to clutch, is to get the necessary money to make the purchases that may be considered desirable— that the Garrick Club would like some oil paintings, we thoroughly believe, but the vendors must h ive cash, and to put the money down, or club it up, are, we sus- pect, achievements that to the Club in question would be equally im- practicable. A singular instance of the clear- headedness and good manners of a most illustrious personage, has recently formed the subject of conversation in the higher circles. After the recent grand Review, a distinguished party sat down to dinner at the Royal table. Among the noble guests was a Neapolitan Prince, recently arrived in this country, who very unluckily took occasion to make a comparison between the appearance of British and Foreign troops under arms, and declared that a review of English troops was but a poor affair, as compared with the field days of the French, Austrians and Prussians. The patriotic breast of the illustrious personage fired at what he considered an insult to his countrymen He d— d the astonished Neapolitan for a soup maigre Frenchman, treated the astonished noblesse to a few choice galley oaths, and rising from his seat at the table, walked up and down the room, raving, and storming, and swearing. At length the soothing speeches of the astounded courtiers mulcified the illustrious personages wrath ; he resumed his seat on the conviction that no insult had been intended. It will be as well to say, that this litt'e scene took place before the cloth was removed, and in the ab- sence of an extraneous cause. The fact is curious, and gives rise to some reflection.— Daily National Gazette. We have always been among the first to do justice to the free hearted manner of our most illustrious Sovereign, who d— ns drink, dances horn- pipes, smokes pipes, and tumbles off rum punch with all the true ap- preciation of a Thames bargeman. We know that in general his Majesty finds it a precious bore to restrain his most blessed propensity for blustering, bouncing, and bullying the Court, but Adelaide has taught him to keep his brusquerie a little in the back ground, except in the easy re- tirement of social life, when he can swear like the most accomplished trooper. The above paragraph will glue the royal person yet tighter into the hearts of his loyal people, for it proves a national ardour and innate patriotism, that in his own strong language, " wont stand no nonsense by any means whatsotndever." The Neapolitan nobleman must have been rather astonished by the bluntness of the Sailor King, and will carry home to his own country a delightful report of the polished manners and easy deportment of the illustrious Bill, the Sailor King and Wapping Monarch. Rising to ORDER, The Rising to Order has become a very common, and a particularly amusing part of the nightly performances in Parliament, and means nothing more in Parliamentary language, than several members rising at the same time to blackguard each other, and call each other liars, & c.; the rising to order, whenever a row begins, being merely a pretext for joining in such row, with always the effect, and generally the decided intention of increasing it. The other night Mr. Forrester rose under, as the reporters say, strong excitement, but when the papers say this, we know what is meant— for strong excitement, is generally the parlia- mentary phrase for excessive drunkenness. However, we will give a little specimen of what rising to order generally signifies. Mr. A.—" I rise to order." The conduct of Mr. B. is disgraceful. Mr. B.—" I rise to order." Mr. A. is a great liar. Mr. C.—" I rise to order." Mr. A. and Mr. B. are both wrong. In fact their language is unparliamentary; indeed, they are two black- guards: Mr. D.—" I rise to order." You, ( to Mr. C.) are a d— d liar. Mr. C.—" I rise to order." You're another. Mr. B.—( With great agitation, " and rising to order.") You're all a set of low vagabonds. The Speaker.—" Really, gentlemen, this is beneath the dignity of the house, and I must call upon you to retract your offensive expressions-" Mr. C.—" Certainly, if Mr. A. did not mean what he said, I could not mean what I said; for, as what I said depends upon what he said, though I called him a scoundrel, a liar, and a blackguard, yet I mo9t willingly refract those expressions as far as any thing personal could be understood, as having reference to the honourable members." Mr. B.— Then, I am perfectly satisfied. Mr. A— And I. Mr. D— And I. Mr. E.— And I. And thus ends the " rising to order." Twenty members having called each other every thing bad, and each, ten minutes afterwards, declaring himself perfectly satisfied. Parliamentary language however is quite different from any other, and means nothing a great deal oftener than it means any thing GRAND CITY REVIEW. A grand review of the City Police took place in Smithfield amongst an immense concourse of bullocks. Among the divisions reviewed were A and B. King Winchester arrived at an early hour in a wheelbarrow, drawn by his celebrated pair of mongrels; he was accompanied bv Hobler, who wore a clean collar of the order of the wash tub, ( not the Bath). On the occasion, pop guns were fired at regular intervals, while the royal cortege were on the ground, and pea shooters were going all day, to the immense delight of the populace. Alderman Scales was much cheered as he left the Review, and a grand feu de Wa- terloo crackers was the signal for the whole party silting down to a lunchion of black puddings, prepared by the munificence of King Winchester. GRAND FETE. On Saturday evening last, a splendid party was given by his Majesty of Winchester, to the Common Council, their wives, apprentices, and friends, in that magnificent hotel kept by Mr. Cope, and situated at the bottom of Newgate Street. All the royal omnibuses from his Majesty's different establishments, in Bow Street, Marlborough Street, Mury- le- bone, Hatton Garden, Worship Street, Queen Square, and Union Ball, were put in requisition and kept arriving with the gentry from an early hour in the day till late in the evening. The entertainments were of the most varied description; the Beggar's Opera was performed by ama- teurs in a truly splendid manner; Macheath, Peachum, Lockitt, and Filch, by some gentlemen from the county, staying with Mr. Cope, at his hotel, previous to their making a tour. Polly Peachum was personated by her Majesty Lady Mayoress Winchester in a truly charming style, and her substituting Jill round my hat, with variations, for cease your funning, was universally approved of and met with tremendous applause. A hornpipe in fetters by Hobler, was en- cored, as was the duett of Together let us range the fields, by Win- chester and Hobler. Young Scales recited Collins's Ode on the Passions, mounted on a donkey ; his costume was generally admired, and we cannot omit noticing his new black velvet waistcoat lined with tripe and trimmed with velvet. A Grand Concerto on Cobbett's Gridiron, ( Lent for that night only) by Sir ROBERT PEEL, met with rapturous applause, particularly by the Members of the Gold- smith's Company that happened to be present. The Forty Thieves wound up the entertainment, and was performed in character. We have not space this week to give the names of the performers, but we know they had been selected for their abilities, not only in town, but many from distant parts of the country. Long before twelve in the day not a cow heel or onion could be procured for love or money. The peace was preserved in an admirable manner by the Rose- marv- lane Dragoons, assisted by the Fire- side Fencibles. Only one accident occurred, and that was to the wheelbarrow that brought Mrs. Scroggins, coming in contact with the character of the Lord Mayor, whereby it sustained serious injury. The company did not depart till a late hour, and many were so well pleased with the entertainment, that they have made up their minds to remain at Copes'Hotel for some time. BREVITIES. A Royal Side Slap. His Majesty was the other day most respectfully advised, that it was unpolite to allow the private soldiers to wear their side arms. " Good FIGARO IN LONDON. 179 gracious !" cried the king," where should a man have his arms except at the bottom of his shoulders, and they are at a man's side, as every i body knows." Sir Herbert Taylor treated the king to an ice, on the i strength of the royal acumen. A Hill to get over. It is complained by the liberal press, that Lord Hill, though a Tory, is continued in the office of Commander in Chief by a liberal ministry; ' the fact is, the ministry is not to blame, for it cannot help itself, the Commander in Chief being a Hill that they have never been able to get over. Hill and Vale. The Commander in Chief, ' Tis the general belief, The popular cause doth assail; But ' tis perfectly flat, That a Hill such as that, Can ne'er be of any avail, ( a vale.) A warm Friend. A certain Tory underling was the other day defending the character of the Duke of Cumberland, saying, " You may talk as you will of his Royal Highness, but in him I have always found a warm friend."— " Yes," was the reply, " and he has a warm friend also, who makes a friend of the devil." The Peers aground. The other day a member of the House of Lords began a speech with the following words : " I really," said he, " can see no reasonable grounds." Now this is a most sensible opening to a speech, whatever the finish might be; for how could any man see any reasonable ground, when he was looking upon ground used for the debates of the Aristo- cracy. A new Tan. Though we are friendly inclined to the repeal of the House Tax, yet there is still one house that ought to be taxed most heavily, we allude to the House of Peers: and this should certainly be heavily taxed, on the principle that those things should bear an enormous duty which are not necessary. A Royal Challenge. His Majesty was present at the review the other day, and remarked, that as the troops have been culled out, they could not as soldiers do less than give satis) action. A Poor Understanding. The Times declares frequently that it will always stand by its duty. We presume it means by its fourpenny duty, for the continuance of the monopoly thus afforded to that journal, is the only thing it does standby. Out of Place. It is very common for one Member to refer to another as " the Honour- able Gentleman now in his place." This is in most instances si utterly erroneous, for the generality of the M. P.' s instead of being in their places are never so much out of their places as when sitting within the walls of Parliament. Ready Wit. Some persons wonder that the Stamp on a newspaper should be red, but the fact is, the colour shows that the very Stamp is blushing for it's own imposition. Ready Wit Redivivus. No one ever looks at the Times newspaper. In fact, the fourpenny Stamp is the only part of it, that is ever red, { read.) A haremskarem Joke. " I wish there was no real heir to the throne" said the Simple Sussex to his friend the Ex or rather double X Chancellor Brougham. " And why" inquisitively asked the late tenant of the Woolsack. " Why, because," responded the puny branch of the tree of royalty," because if there was no real hair on the throne, there must be a Whig upon it" ( Wig upon it.) Too Bad. The Parliament, collectively, ( is said to be useful, though individually the House of Lords is of no use, and the House of Commons is of no use. But we presume the alleged utility of these two non- useful bodies is on the principle, that two decided negatives must make one affirmative. Feargus O'Connor the other day after his unsuccessful trip to Man- chester, in the course of conversation with a friend, ( on the subject of the late election) was asked, how far he was disposed to go on " certain measures." " The whole hog, as a matter of course," answered the " Lover of Whiskey and Mrs. Nisbett." It is mighty curious replied his friend, that after your being so inclined, you were not able " to save your bacon at 0\ A- ham." Feargus' face presented as deep a colour as his own dear beautiful'crop. " When is Lord Brougham at home'!" asked Melbourne of Little John Russell, over a pot of " half- and- half." When he is " half- seas- over" quickly responded the author of " Don Carlos, the Reform Bill," & c. & c A Mellish- ous ( malicious) Joke. " Can you tell me," observed Duncombe to D'Orsay " what insolvent lord the " Haymarket Audiences" resemble ? Thynne, ( thin) " I should decidedly say," remarked the facetious Count. Tight Lacing. It is rumoured in the punning circles, that is to say, within one acre of the Mansion House, that the reason Colonel Evans was fixed upon to head the Spanish expedition is, that his name being De Lacey, he was thought just the person to lace the enemy. Attacks on M. P.' s It has been wondered at by some of our contemporaries, that the Par- liament of the present day should continue the heavy taxes on know- ledge. The thing is easily accounted for; our great rulers tax knowledge, because legislators generally tax heaviest that article which they them- selves never possess. The Royal Miller. The King on hearing that 2,000 soldiers were about to be reviewed on Woolwich Common, exclaimed with all the shrewdness of a wit, added to about one hundredth part of the fraction of the dignity of a Sovereign, " 2,000 soldiers on the Common. Egad then that will be something out of the Common at any rate." Tapping the Butt. Dolly Fitzjordan is generally called a son of a gun, but if he be a son of a gun, he is decidedly the butt. " Why," enquired Praed of Tom Duncombe, " in Ithe event of the Dorchester victims being remitted, would their punishment be greater than that which they had escaped?" " Why," answered the facetious Tom, " because, instead of being banished for seven years, they would then be transported for life." The Church in Arms. That old idiot Perceval, was congratulating himself a short time ago, that if any attempt were made against the Church of Ireland, there were sufficient numbers in readiness to fight for it. " In fact," said he to a Tory chum, " the Chancellor of the Exchequer said the other night in the house, that of 850,000 Protestants, 517,000 are in armour, ( Armagh)." THEATRICALS The ' Vampire ' has been resuscitated at the English Opera, but as moon- shine is the light in which these gentlemen carry on their proceedings, so also, we suspect, in moonshine will end the success of the proceeding. The ' Bottle Imp,' though a phial- ation of all probability, is a grand piece, and has drawn money, but with this one exception nothing has been done at the English Opera to create any desire of a transfer from the public pocket to the manager's treasury. The melodrama called A Father's Crime, should have been called A Manager's Blunder, for, having been expected to do some good, it did none, and has been promoted to the shelf, where its otium will very likely never again be disturbed, and it will no more serve to promote the olium of an audience. Bunn gave a supper to Malibran on Saturday last, which was attended by Polhill, Tom Duncombe, that decided booby Lord Allen, and other orna- ments of the aristocracy. Healths were not the only things that were drunk on this glorious occasion. Real Champagne might have played old Goose- berry with the contents of Bunn's purse, and therefore he reversed the thing and got old Gooseberry ( for this night only) to play Real Champagne. As the occasion was musical, or muzzy- call every one almost was what we should call muzzy. Speeches were made, but we can hardly say whether the speeches were a disgrace to the men or the men to the species { speeches). That tried servant of the public, Mitchell, took his benefit at the Victoria 126 FIGARO IN LONDON. on Tuesday, on which occasion Mis. Honey appeared for one night at the before- named theatre. She drew a numerous audience, and was warmly ap- plauded in Apollo— a part she plays and sings far better than poor Mrs. Waylett, with all her age and experience, managed to do some months since at the same establishment. The ' Echo of Westminster Bridge' is quite another ' Jonathan Bradford,' in point of attraction, and Mitchell's acting, particularly in the last scene, is perhaps the finest thing the stage can at present boast of. In the last act, his personation of the old and wretched criminal is a piece of tragedy that could not be excelled by any living tra- gedian. Elton, who is a deserved favourite at this bouse, has re- appeared with great eclat. The Victoria manager, anxious to hold the mirror up to nature, intends putting up the glass curtain in a week or t ppo. The audience of a theatre has often been called a fine subject for reflection, and certainly this splendid invention, which forces men to reflect on themselves, is a design worthy of encouragement. Novelties pour so rapidly on the public at this house, that it is hardly possible for the journalist to keep pace with them. Popular authors are still at work for the establishment, and a nautical drama, by Jerrold, is spoken of as an early novelty. Sheridan Knowles is also in treaty with the enterprising management. Mrs. Gore has translated a piece for the Haymarket which has been very suceessful, though she has had a hand in it, and it has been successful for one of the best reasons in the world, because it is not original. This is a most ambiguous compliment, but it is one that is well merited and the best that we can possibly pay, though the object of it being a lady, we would rather have said something more savouring of gallantry. N O T I C E S . " Fair Play" has been cheated. The price at which the Gentleman's Dressing Room Guide is sold, as advertised, is sixpence ! and if any Book- seller has charged him the sum he states, he ought to refund it without de- lay. No. II. of WHICGERIES and WAGGERIES is now ready. Country Booksellers are requested to send their Orders, with a remittance. They will be supplied on the same terms as No. 1. viz. eighteenpence per dozen ( 13), and unsold copies exchanged at the close of the year. No. I. is still on sale. ADVERTISEMENTS. Theatrical Abuses. The following letter has been sent us, but as there is no signature we do not take upon ourselves at all to vouch for the fact contained in it. Tbe thing however is so very like Bunn, that we readily give insertion to the whole of it since this publication has from its first appearance been hailed as the guardian of the interests of the whole theatrical pro- fession. The language is rather strong, but when the facts are such as they are stated, due allowance must be made for the feelings of the writer. " Our old friend has been at his usual tricks again. On Monday last seven summonses were issued from the Court of Requests for payment of salaries to his regular chorus, when Bunn thought proper to close the houses, and discbarge the company; he re- engaged as many as he wished for the period of Malibran's engagement, ( and the chorus were included,) for six weeks; this period expired on the 1st July, and on enquiry to know if it was likely Malibran's engagement would be ex- tended, the answer was no. Consequently most of the gentlemen of the chorus accepted the offer of an engagement for the Cambridge installa- tion, which commenced on the 4th of July. They finished their time with Mr. Bunn, and on the 3rd of July, after eleven at night, Bunn thought proper to accede to the terms, and a re- engagement for six night3 took place. This, the gentlemen could not be aware of at all. On their return from Cambridge, and going to the theatre to do their duty, they were refused admittance into the house, and told they were no longer wanted. On application at the treasury on Saturday for their salary for the nights they had been at the theatre, tbe great man in his usual polite way said, " they may be d— d, they sJiould not have a halfpenny." Fur these r. ights the chorus sought to recover, and I will endeavour to send you tbe result of the event. " Now, sir, I know that few editois will do tbe good you do in en- deavouring to bring people to knowledge. You have repeatedly lushed Bunn deservedly ; and for the public to hear the chorusses of" Sonnam- lula," " Gustavus," " Fidelio," and " Der Frischutzs," sung by six or eight men, instead of twenty ; how degrading it must be— is it not an insult to that public whose support he ought to endeavour to procute ? " Sometime since, fourteen summonses were issued from the same Court, from an extra chorus engaged for the Pantomine, whom Bunn dis- charged the third night, but he was compelled to pay them for three weeks, thus convincing the great man that little ones are not to be played with. " What makes this act the more cruel is, that this very chorus, who has been the chief support of his theatres in operas, has almost nighdy been engaged at both houses, and when they had an opportunity of a little recreation in the country, he wishes to deprive them of that comfort. " This mean paltry subterfuge to save a few pounds, cannot be too strongly reprobated, and tbe gentlemen of the chorus are anxious that you will in your useful publication do them justice in exposing so nefarious a trade."
