FIGARO IN LONDON Satire should like a polish'd razor keen, Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or SEEN.^. LANT MONTAGUE. " Political Pasquinades 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. 209. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1835. Price One Penny THE KING'S PORTRAIT. His Majesty has been, according to the papers, sitting for the sixth time for his miniature, and as he is so particularly fond of having his portrait taken, we do not see why we should be back- ward in humouring the royal propensity. That there should be in existence as great a number as possible of images of his most gracious Majesty we are quite prepared to admit; and we, who are more loyal than the most ardent worshipper of royalty, or the most enthusiastic licker of the hallowed dust from the slipper of royalty,— we are anxious to provide our share of the portraits that are being, in all directions, taken of his most Christian Majesty. Though we must always approve the design of the King's head, it is utterly impossible that we should allow ourselves to become a VOL. IV. party to the execution. We, therefore, applied to the all- delineating Seymour, whose classic brain and arrow- like pencil instantly hit upon the sort of thing necessary. He has, therefore, with a bold heart, and crayon of the most barbed steel, dug fiercely into his subject, and furnished the world ( through this periodical) with another portrait of his most gracious Majesty, William the Fourth, being, we believe, the seventh that has been taken within the last few weeks. His Majesty is shewn as sitting for it with all the true dignity of a regular king ( none of your Cockney Lord Mayor work, ( and the canvas placed before us is beginning to glow with life as the pencil of satire touches it. The fact is, that Seymour has been determined to pay us ( FIGARO) a pretty and a polished compliment, and has exhibited us in the act of taking a sketch of the King, an achievement in which we flatter ourselves we have been rather fortunate. Seymour ( who is a wag even in his politest moments) seems to imply that it is our custom to make the So- vereign of these realms look in our pen and ink sketches rather less than he is in reality; but the fact is, the contrary is the case — for no one has so be- puffed, be- praised, and be- gammoned h. m as we have done. In the tableau above, we find ourselves repre- sented as taking the King's likeness, or, in other words, what may be termed canvassing him, by putting him upon canvas. Our easel has for its frame the peers and the people, with a fine guilt or gilt head of Wellington on the top of one column of this frame ; while of that which represents the people, O'Connell is most properly and most ingeniously placed as the capital. We think Seymour has been more vigorous than ever in his conception of the present subject; and, in fact, each week we find that he renders less and less necessary the accompanying letter- press. In fact, if he continues much longer to go on in the art of talking with the pencil in the same ratio that he has heretofore, we feel assured that in a short time our leading articles will of necessity dwindle into single sentences, for Seymour is the Philip, and we are the Alexander: he savs so much that we can say no more ; as Philip conquered so extensively that Alexander had not scope W.

We congratulate ourselves on being able to declare, that however great the sums are that may be paid for taking the portraits of public men, in no place are they taken with so tnuch fidelity as in the pages of this always pithy, sometimes pathetic, and occasionally even poetical periodical. nontos sifJ Dsnnma RUWIII ^ jiah'jba • sq 3' Ji . O . G, INTERPRETER. A Spirited Steward. On the 28th of November, Mr. Rubergall, steward to R. Gunter, Esq., of Old Brompton, gathered in the middle of a large open space of ground a fine ripe strawberry.— MORNING HERALD. We need hardly have said that this is an extract from the Herald, for we do not think there is any other paper wherein could be found a similar paragraph. The idea of swelling the fact above related into sufficient importance for a piece of public news, is one only worthy of the shady bowers of Shoe Lane, or the classic recesses of a two pair back in Catherine- street. The poor old Herald makes it out quite an act of heroism that Rubergall walked into a piece of open ground and plucked a strawberry. Does it require such extraordinary pluck to accomplish this ? or, quare, could not any fool have done it likewise ? But theideaofa man's doing this, is, in the Herald's opinion, an act of singular valour. Why, if there be any merit, it is in the strawberry ; not that we think it were in that agreeable fruit to make its appearance so unseasonably. However, a strawberry will pop into the world now and then unexpectedly, just as a bit of sense will sometimes by accident pop out of Twiss's mouth, when nobody has been expecting it. An Awful Plunge. The families of the Marquis of Devonshire, nephew to the Marchioness of Salisbury, Earl Talbot, and Lord Robert Grosvenor, are plunged into misery by this melancholy event.— GLOBE. frriBig sill eaanliw 01,3ii£ 3n3 9 » - > It, is not our custom to make a mockery of solemn subjects, and indeed, no one can be more ready than we are with a deep drawn sigh, a regular salt water tear, and a clean white cambric pocket handker- chief, for the woes of the unfortunate; but the papers have such a strange way of making a piebald piece of business of grief, shoving in here a patch of pathos, and there a bit of the ludicrous, that we are sometitries led away into a laugh of indecorum, when duty draws open our melancholy jaws with the tremendous sigh of propriety. Tiie above is one of those paragraphs that now and then misleads us into a score of the ludicrous, from a feeling of the sympathetic, and causes the tear of tenderness to be gulped down in the grin of jollity. It is, we admit, a lamentable thing to hear of the late fire at Hatfield House, and of it's truly disastrous consequences; but we must say, we do not quite understand the plunging of a family into mourning. Mourning, after all, does but consist of dress, and we never yet heard of a man plunging into his coat or his waistcoat. A man may be compelled to put on a black suit by the death of a relative, but plunging implies such a slap dash crash, and mash kind of proceeding, as we think must be utterly incompatible with sober grief and decent dolefulness. One may plunge into the Thames, one may plunge into a cold bath, or any thing of that kind, but to plunge into a suit of clothes, even though it be a mourning suit, is utterly impossible. CITYANA- Noi 2 The new department of Cityana having been received, on its first appearance, at the publisher's, with the loudest acclamations by a shop elegantly crammed, and sweatably overflowing, even to the letter- box, it will be repeated every number until— it is left off again. Lord Copeland's jokes having been received with the most en- thusiastic hysterics that ever convulsed the human frame, they will be repeated shortly, and as shortly as possible. Copeland having read in the papers that Lord Eglinton was thrown, while hunting, aud had fractured his collar- bone, his civic frrft 10 , q99W- u W1B9 Isailno oat . jnorw oj ( r" ric"' " • ^ • os U 91- hIT . xlslnibsni?' n « osl9b bluoo . namJaub « to iraawofi highness got into a devil of a rage at what he called such arrant puppyism as a man wearing bones in his collar, as if starch could not make it stick up enough. Hobler, who was near, inhaled a prophetic vapour as a tribute to the tyrant punster. Winchester hearing that Alderman Scholey is now the father of the City, simply demanded if that fact would make the City farther than it used to be. Winchester's shopman smiled archly through the bars of an adjacent gridiron. Copeland heard that the horses employed to work one coach from London to Manchester amounted in number to 200,' who con- sume the produce annually of 700 acres of land. " What, do they eat the rent,'' cried Copeland, " for I know land will produce a good rent." Hobler pulled out all his wise teeth, acknowledging him- self henceforth a fool in his master's presence. LOVE OF MYSTERY Though the English are a people that could not for one moment be suspected of a partiality for romance, yet they have an extra- ordinary relish for any thing that can be made to border upon the mysterious. If a man falls down in a fit, every body swears there is something suspicious in the case, and the poor victim finds himself on a shutter, with a coroner's jury assembled round him ; before he knews whether he is alive or dead, he finds himself the unconscious object of a verdict. But when they do pick up such a luxury as a real dead body, then is the time for the sagacity of coroners and jurymen, who rush pell mell upon the carcase, and Salonnonize with all the wisdom of four- year old donkeys. The other day, according to the papers, a poor man was found dead somewhere about Brompton. First conies a watchman, who, ill the true spirit of a Charley of the old school, passes the body se- veral times without seeing it, and at last, when he does see it, he calls half- a- dozen policemen to help him to look at it. By dint of a great deal of this most solemn humbug, they continue to knock up a kind of mystery, and accordingly it is rumoured all round the neighbourhood that a murder has been committed, and that half the parish has been accessary to it. Poor old Charley who knows no more about murder than^ a having read of it in the Newgate Calendar, or the Bell's Life, is exalted into a parish assassin, and every body within half- a- mile begins to lancy that he has had a hand in it. A jury is assembled, the coroner comes down in a hackney- coach, every body is agog for a most awful inquest, the whole parish expect a murderer to be discovered, when lo and behold! the mystery is all cleared up, the coroner vanishes, and a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God," is the common place consequence. But, however, there is nothing like a little bit of sanguinary excite- ment of this kind, to stir up the stagnant energies of a suburban parish, and fire the souls of semi- rural overseers with a holy zeal to detect supposed crimes, which, in the end, it seems never happen to have been committed. Horrors within five minutes' walk of Hyde Park corner are rather a luxury, when we consider that it is sometimes necessary to seek them in forest recesses and mountain caverns. The terrific is not always come- at- able, by means of a sixpenny fare in the omnibus. BREVITIES.

If this plan can be applied to hogsheads, there might be some hope of purifying the brains of the Duke of Cumberland. A Good Title. " The vacant garter," say the papers, " is to be given to Lord Lans- downe " We say that if his Lordship is in want of a garter, he should not be called Lord Lans- down, but Lord Stockings- down. Facts are Best The papers have been making a great fuss about an alledged revolution in Greece. We have found from our peculiar sources that this alledged revolution in grease, is nothing more than a slight turn in tallow. A Back- handed Hit Lord Charles Manners, the Chronicle says, is going to stand for North Leicestershire. Perhaps he may fall instead of standing; but as the Chronicle adds no other opponent is likely to come forward, Lord Charles will perhaps keep him in the back ground. A Play upon Words.

The cockneys are very angry at the idea of the character of their king not being good enough to make its appeaiance in public. Quite Opportune, We understand a grand ball is to be given in relief of the Poles. As they are to be assisted by a dance, they ought to be called hop- poles.

News has arrived all the way from Malta, informing the British public, tbat an alliance is expected there between Captain Martin and Miss Briggs, daughter of Rear- Admiral Briggs. We don't see what the world has to do with Briggs and Martin, any more than it has with Day and Martin. Rear- Admiral Briggs, or Rear- 4dmiral Sloops, would be all the same in our eyes. THEATRICAL CRITICS. A Correspondent has directed our attention to the fact of a great portion of the present dramatic writers being at the same time theatrical critics. Charles Dance " damns with faint praise" ( except on " Myself and my partner Joe" occasions) in the Athenaeum ; Jerrold is, or was, the salaried critic of a Sunday paper and a monthly magazine, and commands the < jailli of many of his brethren ; Planche was eulogistic on the birth of m OHAON LONDON. I aldii pniso no esv 98iu J, - mvawod Isd} , p- fiIo9tj ol certain bantling3 in the Literary Gazette, and is quite horrified at the goings on in theatres where he is not prime mover ; the critic Jn the Weekly Dispatch writes for the stage ; Moncrieff edited " Richardson's Drama," and in his prefaces to the various plays skinned the authors alive ; the censor in the New Bell's Messenger, who sometimes writes so prettily, has evidently in his youth been a writer of rejected tragedies* the editors of the Sunday Times and the Age are farce- writers ; Frederick Fox Cooper, Esq., who has been a critic 111 half the dead and living pa- pers in London, is also a dramatic writer; Mr, Cumberland's editor, D. G. otherwise " George Daniel, Esq." is the author of various dramatic drol- leries, amongst which Harley's speeches at the Theatrical Fund dinners are not the least to be admired; and the ex- critic of FIGARO is a well- known dramatist. The foregoing list certainly opens our eyes to the panegyrics frequently bestowed upon some very trashy matters in a few of the periodicals named: though there can be no reasonable objection to " a gentleman connected with the press" writing for the stage, yet should he become a dramatic author by profession, he ought to imitate the honourable conduct of Fi- garo's late censor, who publicly resigned his critical razor 011 becoming one of the " rig'lars." The critiques in the Athenaeum, as regards th « Olympic Theatre, and every thing now produced there, are very curious. When their wiiter was the laureate of Madame Vestris, how exquisite and nice was every trifle there produced ; but now he is not in office, how cautiously droll are the gentleman's remarks. We will shortly return to this subject. THEATRICALS. Bunn is doing the thing in a very creditable manner at Drury Lane, and in all directions people flock to the theatre, to witness the grand piece of1 paste- potism. This piece of policy on the part of Burin, has had the effect of completely smashing to pieces the Coveut Garden con- cern, where they are nightly performing to benches as empty as Osbal- disfon's own head is, and his purse will be. Balfe's opera of the Siege of Rochelle, helps to fill the house every night at Drury Lane, and it, is very probable that it will continue to do so for a very considerable period. Drury Lane having succeeded against Covent Garden, is per- haps the finest thing that could possibly have happened for the theatri- cal profession, for it has given a quietUs to that temporary mania for cheapness and nastiness. However jt will be useless again to attempt to overwhelm legitimacy by filthiness at a low. price, and Osbaldiston and Co , will have to shut up shop as soon as possible. At Covent Garden, on Monday, we were favoured with another Surrey set- out, in the shape of a new national St. George's and Blackfriar's Bridge grand opera, entitled ' The Lord of the Isles,' in which Wilson used to play about one year since at Davidge's establishment. It was done there much better than at Covent Garden, and, what was better still, at one- half the price ; and yet Osbaldiston has the impudence to expect that he will be allowed to offer it to the public at the extravagant rate of four shillings, two, and one, when it has, as we before said, been much better done in St. George's for half the sum now demanded. At the Surrey Theatre it was delightful to see the greasy rogues admiring the beauties of an original opera; they were enthusiastically pleased at seeing the conductor beat time, and allowed that Time deserved a good beating, in- asmuch as he is our common enemy. It was a pleasant sight to see them hanging in extacy over H flat, and dwelling with judicious rapture on the beauties of Y sharp and W natural. But of all the flats, and sharps, and all the varieties of them that ingenuity could form, nothing was so pleasing to them as double X, which they took quite natural, not caring if it were a little sharp, but refusing to have it fiat at any price. They luxu- riated at the Surrey over the minims, and with musical tact discussed the subject of melody. When an instrument plays out of tune, it is elegant to hear a fellow in the gallery cry out, " Crikey, that's not light,", and. if the horn should happen to be wrong, the critical ear of a sweep, or the musical acumen of a dustmen, could detect it immediately. There is no 202 FIGARO IN LONDON. thing lite it, and therefore all we can say is, the more the merrier. How- ever, it is ludicrous in the extreme to find Covent Garden, in its present filthy state, attempting a national opera. Collins sang pretty well, but he is by no means equal to Wilson, who was the original representative of the same character. Miss Turpin was of course very inferior to Miss Somervillc in the heroine's part, and altogether the opera was adulterated to a degree that was utterly lamentable. Poor Mr. Rodwell must have felt this, and was, we dare say, sufficiently disgusted with the poverty of the company. There is a line in the bill about Mr. H. Wallack having got the affair up. which is perhaps creditable, considering that it is got up precisely as it was one year ago at the Surrey. The orchestra, it is true, is large enough, but the instrumental performers seem to be rather little. At all events, they are not competent to do justice to a full opera. ' In- heritance' is almost done with already, and public opinion will, by nex1 week, be a kind of codicil to put an end to it altogether. ' The Jewess' is becoming popular in all directions ; and every dog- hole, with a coal- cellar for a pit, and a cock- loft for a gallery, imitates Drnry Lane with its pomp of procession and immolation. However, one theatre, th<- Victoria, has really made something like an approach to the patent original, and has got up ' The Jewess' in a style well worthy of comparison with the larger establishment. There is a platform over the pit, occupying 170 feet, according to the bills, though we think it would be nearer the truth to say that 170 feet pass over it. The getting up is, however, highly credilable to the spirit of the management, and the per- formance of the Jewess by Mrs. Selby is a treat in every respect worthy of her fast increasing reputation. She was, after the usual booking- office fashion, called for, and came on, after the performance, to receive the en- thusiastic plaudits of a crammed and delighted audience. The piece, in which, by the bye, Archer played very well, was completely successful. On Tuesday, a burlesque on ' The Jewess,' from the pen of Buckstone, was produced at the Adelphi, but, we are given to understand, the success of it was by no means unequivocal. The acting in it was not good, which may account for its partial failure, as Buckstone is a writer who seldom fails in his object. Mr. Gallot gave it out for repetition ' with his best power of lungs, and the contents certainly formed the majority of the au- dience. ' The Dream at Sea' continues to attract full houses, and is an increasing favourite. Mr. Braham's Theatre is positively advertised to open on Monday next with much novelty, there being three pieces, all new, and one of them a grand opera. It is probable that the attraction will be very great, as much interest must necessarily attach to Mr. Braham's appearance irf a new cha- racter. His company seems to be generally effective, and the public ex- citement attendant on the opening of a new theatre, which is said lo be a very splend: d one, must have the effect of bringing together a succession of full houses. We hope the spirit of the management will ensure a con- tinuance of the eclat that is sure to attend the opening. The English Opera, we are told, is in a wretched state, and the perform- ances are as uncertain as the exhibitions at a penny caravan, which pro- ceed ad libitum. We believe the door- keepers ( the word money- takers has become obsolete here) pop out their heads at about six. and if any one is at the door they will let him in, and he will see something acted, but if there happens to be no one at the door, which is the case four nights out of the six, then there are no performances. All the Minors are Jewessising ; they have got a Jewess everywhere, from Drury Lane downwards to Whitechapel. At the Pavilion, Denvil is playing Eleazer, while they are immolating melodramatic heroines at an awful rate in practicable cauldrons. However, if there be a mania for this sort of thing in the public mind, the managers have a full right to pander to it, and if an audience likes to be terrified out of its wits, there can be no objection to the actors doing it.
