FIGARO IM LOBTBOIV. Satire should like a polish'd razor keen, Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen.— LADY MONTAGU*. " Political Pasquinades and Political Caricatures are parts ( though humble enes,) 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. No, 344, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1838. Price One Penny their ignorance of which alone has been the cause of their inferiority in some few respects to Englishmen. But Bull is an obstinate brute, and we are heartily sick of him. The vulgar brutality, and coward ferocity of an English mob, their rude- ness and ruffianism towards those above them, their blustering, bullying, and bragging, are sufficient to render them objects of contempt and aversion to those natives of other countries ; the meanest of whom at least can boast of superior civilization to the blackguard, lowest class of English. It would, therefore, be more prudent, at least, to keep up the manufacturing pre- eminence of England if nothing else can be done to preserve its fallen character. There is no country where there is so much throat- cutting, murder, butchery, brutality, and blackguardism, as in self- puffed, and self- conceited England. STATE BALL AT HOBLHR'S Hobler's ball, which took place on Tuesday was the most vulgar of the whole season. The dresses of the foreign livery servants now in town attracted the envv and attention of all present. Prince Schwartzenberg's footman was distin- guished by the immense quantity of Brussels- carpeting with which his coat was literally strewed, and his cocked hat was handed round several times in the course of the evening for the Admiration of the company. Among the most superb shoulder knots were those of the footmen of Marshal Soult and Count Sebastiani. The former was of massive worsted of a bright yellow, twisted to about the consistency of a bell- rope, and the latter of a new material which was said, in the course of the evening, though nearly resembling silk, to be the price only of cotton. Most of the foreign footmen wore silk stockings. The ladies were superbly dressed. Lady Cowan was, literally speaking one blaze of pinchbeck and tinfoil. Her hair had been neatly combed under her wig, which was thickly studded with combs, all of which were highly ornamented in glass of various colours. Her dress consisted of a bright yellow, highly glazed and strongly callendered callico slip, and a robe of clear muslin. The skirt was somewhat scanty in accordance with the pre- vailing fashion; but it was stoutly brought out from the figure by starch and presented a very chaste appearance. The body was ornamented with one large sheet of tinfoil, cut in the form of a vandyke, and presenting one of the most brilliant stomachers ever witnessed. The skirt was gloriously emblazoned at the bottom with sprigs of marigolds ( tastefully cut out of calico to match the slip,) and a sash of broad sarsenet of pink striped with Star Press,— 20, Cross Street, Hatton Garden, James Turner. OUR FOREIGN VISITOR St We perceive that the foreigners now in London, are being taken every where, and shown every thing that is at all important in this country, and that every place is thrown open to them, from the palace of the Queen to the wholesale beer shop of Barclay and Perkins. To say nothing of the impropriety of placing silver spoons in jeopardy Ijy the indiscriminate entertainment of a number of needy and greedy foreigners, we cannot help thinking that if our alledged national superiority depends much upon our arts and manufactures, it must be the height of absurdity to lay them open to foreigners. We are not disposed to be illiberal, but beast as John Bull undoubtedly is, we are ready to admit that in works of plodding labour the great brute has some pretensions to a superiority over some other nations, and the beast must, therefore be a very thick- headed beast if he takes the opportu- nity of foreigners being in England to initiate them into all those things, VOL VII. 50 FIGARO IN LONDON. yellow, completed the magnificent robe du bal of the Lady Mayoress. Her ladyship wore round her neck a massive pattern gilt chain, to which was appended a stout silver watch with a face of remarkably clean looking china ware. On her arms were huge bracelets, and her fingers ( which are known to be ample) presented a strong muster of miscellaneous jewellery. Miss Cowan wore a cotton dress of green and led sprigs on a yellow ground, with a yellow bird's eye handkerchief thrown loo » ely over her shoulders. Cowan wore the lord knows what, obtained the lord knows where, and put on the lord knows how, but by the frequency with which the expression —" You're looking well" was addressed to him, we should say that his ap- pearance must have been perfectly satisfactory. The moment Cowan and Lady C. entered the room, the band struck up ' The literary dustman," which national air was continued till they reached the door of the ball- room. At this moment the scene was remarkably brilliant. Hobler, ( who though he resides in the attic, had obtained the use of the first floor) had evidently left nothing untried to give a party that should astonish his foreign fellow servants on this occasion. As far as the eye could reach, nothing but hired rout stools burst the astonished sight, and further than the eye could reach, ( that is, out of sight, round the corner, just behind the door,) was stationed the musician, who, upon a wink from Hobler, was ready with his magic strains of harmony. The grate was richly filled with paper cuttings, the front part immediately behind the bars, ( which were solidly black- leaded,) being decorated with a small quantity of that variegated stuff offered by people who ring at one's door, and offer it in exchange for old wearing apparel On a mahogany table at the end of the roam, and piled up to a consider- able height were sandwiches, and in the corner was a tall tin can of heavy wet, by the side of which, to serve it out, and perhaps in some degree to protect it, stood one of the - young Hoblers'. In order to encrease the size of the room a cupboard had been thrown open, which was fitted up with an interesting display of tea- cups, most of which hung from small nails driven into the shelves, and at the back of the cupboard we observed some well- executed plates of the well known willow pattern. An effect had alse been attempted which, we regret to say, failed. The centre window, ( there are three,) had been thrown up, and a cotton hand- kerchief of a silkish pattern, had been drawn tightly across the lower part. Behind this handkerchief a rushlight shade had been placed with a mould candle in it, by means of which it was expected the pattern of the hand- kerchief would have been displayed, the hues in some degree softened by the rushlight shade that contained the candle We regret to say, that the candle was no sooner lighted than a gust of wind blew the whole concern into the very middle of the room, and the shade rolled at the feet of one of the illustrious foreigners, who taken by surprise, kicked it with his foot through a square of glass opposite. With this exception ( which literally cast a shade over the festivities of the even- ing,) every thing passed of delightfully. The party did not separate - till long after day- break. A SUGGESTION TO THE QUEEN In order that every one in the country as well, as in London, may have an opportunity of witnessing the coronation, we have the following ( as we think,) highly feasible suggestions to offer :— We propose that as the trappings, or ( theatrically speaking,) the pro- perties, are all in existence, and as the fittings of the abbey can easily be removed, it would be highly giatifying te the nation at lirge, and deuced pleasant to the Queen herself, to repeat the Whole ceremony of the coronation in all those provincial towns where there is a building sufficiently large for the show to be exhibited in. It probably would not be difficult to make arrangements with the foreign ambassadors to continue their stay in this country for the purpose of per- forming their parts in the grand, national pageant, and we are quite sure if Bunn could make it pay to hire the theatres in all the principal provincial towns to represent the Jewess, Victoria would certainly find it worth her while to get up the coronation. More especially as she would be at no expese for theatres, since it is certain that all large public buildings throughout England would be placed gratuitously at her Majesty's disposal. We recommend that the ministers should turn this article over in their minds and act accordingly. THE QUEEN IN PATTENS. One of the principal articles used in the Coronation was called the Pattina, which is the classical name for a pair of pattens. Some persons have objected to the introduction of such very homely articles into a cere- mony of such sacred importance, but we think the pattens quite as good, and a great deal more appropriate, to a lady, than the swords, and other warlike implements that were in requisition on the occasion alluded too. The pattens would certainly contribute to raise her more in the eyes of her subjects than the sword or chalice. The truth is that the thing is allegorical, and means that Victoria will be a pattern to her sex. We hope she may prove so. THE NATIONAL JEWELS It was necessary in the late ceremony that the national jewels should be made use of, but however high the rank of the party, whose duty it was to carry any portion of them, we observe that each nobleman to whom a jewel was entrusted, was attended by an officer from the Jewel Office. This precaution was highly praise- worthy, and, we regret to say, very far from needless. Our aristocracy has always shown such a natural inclination to clutch the property of the public, that the regalia was not safi*. unless narrowly looked after by those officers who are responsible for its custody. THE CORONATION MEDAL Some dissatisfaction has been expressed at the fact that none of the Coronation Medals were thrown among the crowd, as has been the custom on previous occasions, and great curiosity has been manifested to know what has become of the medals of which, it is perfectly well known, there was the usual quantity. , There is no deubt that the medals have been taken care of by some- body, and in a report of the procession we find that the treasurer of the household carried the medals in a crimson bag. It is remarkable that no- thing has been heard of the treasurer nor of the " little crimson bag since the day of the ceremony. A SIMPLE QUESTION In the course of the ceremonial of the Coronation, the treasurer of the household delivered to the Queen an ingot of gold, of one pound weight, ( no joke let it be remembered,) which, the Queen delivered to the Arch- bishop, to be put in the oblat on basin ! We must take the liberty of asking the two following very simple questions 1st. Did the Archbishop put the pound weight of pure gold into the oblation basin ? 2nd, What became of the oblation basin after the gold was put into it ? 3rd. Has any one seen either the gold or the basin since the day of the Coronation ? These are questions that the parties concerned ought for their own sakes to answer as speedily as possible. THE FOREIGNERS IN TOWN. The fable tells us that a jackass once assumed the form of a lion, and the Londoners are certainly lionising the foreign jackasses now in this country, to an extent that is perfectly ridiculous. Some of these fellows have actually been allowed to go all over the Bank of England, and it is said, that they expressed their surprise at the quantity of bullion. Poor devils, we dare say it made their fingers itch, and their mouths water, to look at it. We hope the batik directors had the prudence to keep a sharp iook out while the foreign beggars were honouring the establishment with a visit. They were literally thunder struck at the amount of cash which glittered before their eyes, and it was indeed almost a cruelty, on the part of the directors, to have carried them among a quantity of cash, which must only have appeared like an insult to their wretched poverty. It seems that Soult, Sebastiani, and the Duke de Nemours, have been looking over Barclay and Perkins's brewery, when they expressed their un- qualified admiration at the extensive arrangements for concocting heavy FIGARO IN LONDON. 109 wet and double X. Soult was particularly struck by the magnitude of one of the receptacles for 4 filthy beer,' and exclaimed to one of the firm— " Ha ! ha ! vat you call that?" " Yes, your excellency is right, we do call it vat," was the reply of old Barclay. " You dam, old rascal, to mock me," replied Soult, " I say vat you call it?" " It is vat we call it," replied Barclay, growing warm as the Marshal en- creased in violence. " By gar 1" bellowed Soult, " if you no tell me at once vat it is, I'll kaock your dam, old head into von jelly." * Barclay, alarmed for his personal safety, called out to Perkins, who hav- ing been on the continent for a short time, ( one day at Boulogne,) had picked up enough French to come to an understanding with the enraged Marshal, who left the establishment with these words— " I tell you vat it is, Messieurs Barclay and Firkins, whatever I may think of your porter— and vat you call stout, I think very much small beer of yourselves, and that you are two damned snobs, and no mistake." Barclay and Perkins, in a state of regular flabbergastation bowed out their distinguished visitors and hurried back to the counting house. DISTRIBUTION OF THE REGALIA It is not true that the Bishop of Winchester grumbled at the distribution » f the regalia, in the Jerusalem chamber, before the commencement of the Coronation ceremony. It has probably been remarked, that while some of the officers of state got sceptres, and swords, and orbs, and gold cups, the Bishop of Winchester, who was served the last, got the bible. It must be supposed that a holy man like the Bishop of Winchester, would prize the bible beyond, the costly gewgaws that were handed over to those who officiated with him at the ceremony. Be this as it may, the Bishop did not grumble or growl outwardly, whatever may have been his inward reflections upon the subject. A MISUNDERSTANDING At one of the recent balls one of the inferior foreign attaches began doing the agreeable to the Lady Mayoress. Among other things about as elegant and pretty as they are true, he declared that her ladyship had the most taper waist of any one he had seen in England. Lady C., who can stand any thing but an attack upon the shop, redden- ed with indignation, and replied—" 1 tell you what it is, young man, if you says our tapers wastes, you've not tried ' em. And if my old man was to hear you, I don't know what he'd do to you in spite of your mous- tachious." The attache was regularly flummoxed. COWAN AND THE SHOP The profinquitr of Cowan's shop to the Mansion House, though frequent- ly convenient for his business, is sometimes awkward for his dignity. A day or two ago, a deputation had just been shewn in to him, and were • Yonr Lordshiping him,' and using other epithets of strong respect, when a dirty boy in a greasy apron, popped in and bawled out " Can you let one of them lamps go for eighteen shillings ?" " The one in the window? Yes !" cried Cowan, somewhat disconcerted, None of the others ?" asked the boy. " No," growled Cowan. " He won't take the one in the window," persisted the urchin. " Then he may go to — and you with him, peremptorily responded his Lordship, to the immense astonishment of the deputation, who had come in behalf of a charity, to solicit the addition of the Lord Mayor's patronage to hat of the Royal Family. THE DEGRADED HIGQ1NS, We naturally feel anxious about Biggins, our own protegee, and we are as jealous of any insult passed upon him as the Monarch of a country would be of any wrong done to one of his subjects by a foreign power. It may be supposed then that our blood alternately froze to zero, and boiled to the fever heat, when we read the following para- graph in the Court Circular;— Colonel Sir Samuel G. Higgins, Equerry in Waiting on her Royal High- ness the Duchess of Gloucester, received her Majesty in the entrance hall. We ask ! Would this have happened in the life- time of the Duke of Gloucester ? What Higgins, the partner of his old boyish romps — his antique- juvenile mischief— his semi- veteran and demi- infantine pranks!— the sharer of his milk- and- water!— the participator of his pocket- money— thrust forth like a dog into the passage, to open the street- door— to hold a napkin in his hand— to bow and scrape to take the hats and cloaks, umbrellas, & c., of the company ! We hardly know how to trust ourselves in giving expressions at our feelings on this truly exciting subject. Higgins with a napkin in his hand, dusting the hall chairs, and bowing in the company to the house of his revered and departed master. But a short year or two back, he that was the ignoble lacquey of the guests, would have been the life and soul of the assembly. It is with a mixture of grief and indignation that we ask in con- clusion, What has poor Higgins done, to be thus lessened in the establishment of his playmate and master ? BREVITIES A Foreigner disappointed. The hereditary prince of Nassau, hearing that a street in London had been called after his dominions, was anxious to be taken to see jt. His royal high- ness flew into a frightful passion, upon being driven through a variety of dark streets in the neighbourhood of Soho, to be set down in one darker still which he was informed was Nassau- street. Upon being informed there was another called after him near the Middlesex Hospital, he declined going to ook at it. The Premier and the Duchess of Kent. Melbourne was reported the other day to be in love with the Duchess ot Kent, We sincerely acquit him of being in love with any things else but Downing Street, and his affection for that is remarkably constant. It may be worth his while to do a bit of amiable now and then with the Duchess, but his heart is lost to nothing on earth but the treasury. The report of his affection for the illustrious person alluded to, arose out of the following bit of blarney scribbled in the Duchess's album— Some lips to tulips they compare, And other bulbous berries; But, your's dear Kent are like I swear A brace of Kentish cherries. With fruit like that, how sweet all day, At pretty bob- cherry to play!! Royal robbery of Plate, It is a common practice ( and a very prudent one) with the Duchess of Gloucester, to count the plate the day after she has given a party. On Wed- nesday last after the recent ball, Gloucester house was in the greatest confu- sion, the Duchess insisted that there was a spoon missing, Every member of the household was guilty— amazed at this very unusual occurance, when suddenly the dilemma was terminated by the entrance of Higgins, who had been to take a pie to the baker's; the number of household spoons was of course completed. __ __ A CORONATION SACRIFICE At a village of half- witted boors, called Congton, near Plymouth, the coro- nation was celebrated by the bursting of a cannon, which killed six persons at once, and dangerously wounded several others. The poor maniacs, by whom this place is peopled, got a cannon lent them from Plymouth, and it was arranged that this dangerous, and highly improper play- thing should be fired off three times— Once on the village sitting down to dinner.— Once on the village sittiug down to tea— and a third and last time, for no particular object whatever, except the love of mischief. In this last instance, the poor creatures were most terribly seconded by the cannon itself, which supposing the object must be mischief, determined to do all the mischief in its power, and by shattering itself into little bits killed six and fearfully wounded several others. The cannon perhaps irritated at being made a fool of. fired once for dinner, a second time for tea, and a third time, thought it as well to give some of the noodles their gruel, which it did in a very pitiable and relentless fashion. If grown up children must have play- things, those who supply them should at least take care that they are not dangerous. THEATRICALS. Covent Garden closed on Friday, on which occasion Mr. Macready thought proper not to show himself to the audience, and consequently he abandoned his original part written expressly for him in Knowles's new play, and thus slunk away from the theatre when he ought to have been ( after his usual fashion) gammoning the audience. Perhaps Macready had prudential mo- tives for keeping out of the way— Perhaps knowing his own irritability, he. 50 FIGARO IN LONDON. d ared not trust himself to speak to the public, for the sake of whose amuse- in ent he has, it is reported, lost no inconsiderable sum. Perhaps he was, fearful of being led into reproaching them for their apathy; or blowing them up sky high for their want of appreciation of his afforts to be genteel, and legitimate. Be this as it may, Macready sent on Bartley, who is always ready to do for a manager, what a manager does not exactly like to do for himself, and Bartley made a speeeh, in which he took credit to Macready for having lost money, and still intending to try again. Instead of allowing cre- dit for this sort of conduct to any man, we should say the person who adopts it must be a fool, upon whom experience is thrown away, and who like a gamester that has lost a little, determines to try and win it back, in attempt- ing which process he almost certainly loses a great deal more. We hope Macready may not be an example of the truth of our illustration. Perhaps one of Macready's reasons for keeping aloof from speaking the farewell address, was, that having got to the end of his season, in which he and his friends boasted he would do so much, he found that on looking back there really was nothing at all to brag about, Bartley must have felt uncommonly sheepish, when the sum total of his boasting, amounting to this, that Macready had said he w ould give no order, and he had not given any, and that Macready had prom sed not to puff his pieces in the bills, and the pieces had not been puffed in the bills accordingly. Now as to the giving no orders— This is a mere quibble, for the system of a large free list, and wholesale putting down of names for admission for one evening, has been carried on to such an extent, that it amounted to nearly the same thing as the indiscriminate circulation of orders, which it was pretended the management objected to. As to the puff- ing of the pieces in the bills— This pledge if it had not been given, must for mere decency's sake have been acted upon, for when it is remembered that three- fourths of the new pieces have been SUMMARILY DAMNED. We should like to know whether Macready could have ventured to have written one line in praise of them in the play- bills, even if he had never given any assurance to the contrary. In this ca° e his virtue has been the result of necessity, so that we must look to another season for the test of the sincerity of his profes- sion in this particular. We must confess that we fear Macready has left the drama precisely where he found it, that is to say, in the very gutter of public contempt, where it is likely to remain until a taste for play- going shall arise among the more respectable portion of the community. Those who have comfortable homes can hardly be expected to go and sit in the foul odours, and pestiferous society, to be met with in a play- house, more particularly while the English Theatres present no more attractions than are just now to be met with, at what are called the national establishments. The Haymarket Theatre is really worth visiting, and that frequently, for there is so much excellence, and so much variety, that one evening will not suffice to see the whole of it. In consequence of some disreputable person having got possession of our admission for this house, we have not been able to visit it the last week. We have had many tricks of late played upon us in this way, and as exposes are the leading feature of the day— a little one shortly on this subject may . not be out of place. The English opera produced a Foreign opera on Saturday, in which little can be said that is at all laudatory. The libretto is poor, and the music is neither pleasing, nor original, One song by Fraser, was so well given by him as to command a loud encore, and indeed all the vocalists did justice to the music alloted to them. It is to be regretted that Mrs. E. Seguin's lower notes are not more agreeable; the upper part of her voice is particularly fine, and in a quartett in the first act, it's power and purity completely gained the encore that followed. Her style of singing is very perfect. Miss Rainforth had a part much below her transcendant talents. We are glad to see Burnett at this theatre, he is one of the very few quiet gentlemanly men upon the • stage, and he has talent, which as he gains more confidence will certainly develope itself. A little awkwardness is much better than the vulgar bluster, which too often characterizes the actor's deportment. The opera we have been speaking of is called Rob of the Fen. The curtain fell amid applause, and disapprobation. Hammond produced a new burletta of which Sam Weller is still the hero, called Sam Weller's Tour, and compiled by Moncrieff from the work called Pickwick abroad, an inferior continuation of Boz's immortal papers. It is admirably acted, and is very well done in every respect, so that there is no doubt its career will be a long and successful one, We have not space to say more respecting it, in our present week's number.
