Their scholars, heroes, benefactors1 kind:
And Britain has her share among the rest,
Of men the wisest, boldest and the best:
And eccentricities3 beyond compare.
Full many a life is spent, and many a purse,
THE next scene which Tom was anxious to introduce to his Cousin's notice was that of a Political Dinner; but while they were preparing for departure, a letter arrived which completely satisfied the mind of the Hon. Tom Dashall as to the motives5 and views of their friend Sparkle, and ran as follows:
“Dear Dashall,
“Having rivetted the chains of matrimony on the religious anvil6 of Gretna Green, I am now one of the happiest fellows in existence. My election is crowned with success, and I venture to presume all after-petitions will be rejected as frivolous7 and vexatious. The once lovely Miss Mortimer is now the ever to be loved Mrs. Sparkle. I shall not now detain your attention by an account of our proceedings8 or adventures on the road: we shall have many more convenient opportunities of indulging in such details when we meet, replete9 as I can assure you they are with interest.
“I have written instructions to my agent in town for the immediate10 disposal of my paternal11 estate in Wiltshire, and mean hereafter to take up my abode12 on one I have recently purchased in the neighbourhood of Belville Hall, where I anticipate many pleasurable opportunities of seeing you and our friend Tallyho surrounding my hospitable13 and (hereafter) family board. We shall be there within a month, as we mean to reach our place of destination by easy stages, and look about us.
“Please remember me to all old friends in Town, and believe as ever,
Your's truly,
“Charles Sparkle.”
“Carlisle.”
[384 ] The receipt of this letter and its contents were immediately communicated to young Mortimer, who had already received some intelligence of a similar nature, which had the effect of allaying14 apprehension15 and dismissing fear for his Sister's safety. The mysterious circumstances were at once explained, and harmony was restored to the previously16 agitated17 family.
“I am truly glad of this information,” said Tom, “and as we are at present likely to be politically engaged, we cannot do less than take a bumper18 or two after dinner, to the health and happiness of the Candidate who so emphatically observes, he has gained his election, and, in the true language of every Patriot19, declares he is the happiest man alive, notwithstanding the rivets20 by which he is bound.”
“You are inclined to be severe,” said Tallyho.
“By no means,” replied Dashall; “the language of the letter certainly seems a little in consonance with my observation, but I am sincere in my good wishes towards the writer and his amiable22 wife. Come, we must now take a view of other scenes, hear long speeches, drink repeated bumpers23, and shout with lungs of leather till the air resounds24 with peals25 of approbation26.
“We shall there see and hear the great men of the nation, Or at least who are such in their own estimation.”
“Great in the name a patriot father bore,
He talks of wise reform, of rights most dear,
Till half the nation thinks the man sincere.”
“Hey day,” said Tallyho, “who do you apply this to?”
“Those who find the cap fit may wear it,” was the reply—”
I leave it wholly to the discriminating33 few who can discover what belongs to themselves, without further comment.”
[385] By this time they had arrived at the Crown and Anchor Tavern34, in the Strand35, where they found a great number of persons assembled, Sir F. B——— having been announced as President. In a few minutes he was ushered37 into the room with all due pomp and ceremony, preceded by the Stewards38 for the occasion, and accompanied by a numerous body of friends, consisting of Mr. H———, Major C———, and others, though not equally prominent, equally zealous40. During dinner time all went on smoothly41, except in some instances, where the voracity42 of some of the visitors almost occasioned a chopping off the fingers of their neighbours; but the cloth once removed, and 'Non nobis Domine' sung by professional Gentlemen, had the effect of calling the attention of the company to harmony. The Band in the orchestra played, 'O give me Death or Liberty'—'Erin go brach'—'Britons strike home'—and 'Whilst happy in my native Land.' The Singers introduced 'Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled'—'Peruvians wake to Glory'—and the 'Tyrolese Hymn43.' But the spirit of oratory44, enlivened by the fire of the bottle, exhibited its illuminating45 sparks in a blaze of lustre46 which eclipsed even the gas lights by which they were surrounded; so much so, that the Waiters themselves became confused, and remained stationary47, or, when they moved, were so dazzled by the patriotic48 effusions of the various Speakers, that they fell over each other, spilt the wine in the pockets of the company, and, by making afterwards a hasty retreat, left them to fight or argue between each other for supposed liberties taken even by their immediate friends.
Page385 Political Dinner
Unbridled feelings of patriotic ardour appeared to pervade49 every one present; and what with the splendid oratory of the speakers, and the deafening50 vociferations of the hearers, at the conclusion of what was generally considered a good point, a sufficient indication of the feelings by which they were all animated51 was evinced.
At the lower end of the table sat a facetious52 clerical Gentleman, who, unmindful of his ministerial duties, was loud in his condemnation53 of ministers, and as loud in his approbation of those who gave them what he repeatedly called a good hit. But here a subject of great laughter occurred; for Mr. Marrowfat, the Pea-merchant of Covent-Garden, and Mr. Barrowbed, the Feathermonger of Drury Lane, in their zeal39 for the good cause, arising at the same moment, big with ardour and sentiment, to address the [386] Chair on a subject of the most momentous54 importance in their consideration, and desirous to signalize themselves individually, so completely defeated their objects by over anxiety to gain precedence, that they rolled over each other on the floor, to the inexpressible amusement of the company, and the total obliteration55 of their intended observations; so much so, that the harangue56 meant to enlighten their friends, ended in a fine colloquy57 of abuse upon each other.
The bottles, the glasses, and the other paraphernalia58 of the table suffered considerable diminution59 in the descent of these modern Ciceros, and a variety of speakers arising upon their downfall, created so much confusion, that our Heroes, fearing it would be some time before harmony could be restored, took up their hats and walked.
“Now,” said Dashall, as they left the house, “you have had a full view of the pleasantries of a Political Dinner; and having seen the characters by which such an entertainment is generally attended, any further account of them is almost rendered useless.”
“At least,” replied Tallyho, “I have been gratified by the view of some of the leading men who contribute to fill up the columns of your London Newspapers.”
“Egad!” said his Cousin, “now I think of it, there is a tine opportunity of amusing ourselves for the remainder of the evening by a peep at another certain house in Westminster: whether it may be assimilated, in point of character or contents, to what we have just witnessed, I shall leave you, after taking a review, to determine.”
“What do you mean?” inquired Tallyho.
“Charley's, my boy, that's the place for sport, something in the old style. The Professors there are all of the ancient school, and we shall just be in time for the first Lecture. It is a school of science, and though established upon the ancient construction, is highly suitable to the taste of the moderns.”
“Zounds!” replied Bob, “our heads are hardly in cue for philosophy after so much wine and noise; we had better defer60 it to another opportunity.”
“Nay61, nay, now's the very time for it—it will revive the recollection of some of your former sports;
For, midst our luxuries be it understood,
[387] Charley is a good caterer63 for the public appetite, and, to diversify64 the amusements of a Life in London, we will have a little chaff65 among the Bear-baiters.”
Tally-ho stared for a moment; then burst into laughter at the curious introduction his Cousin had given to this subject. “I have long perceived your talent for embellishment, but certainly was not prepared for the conclusion; but you ought rather to have denominated them Students in Natural History.”
“And what is that but a branch of Philosophy?” inquired Dashall. “However, we are discussing points of opinion rather than hastening to the scene of action to become judges of facts—Allons.”
Upon saying this, they moved forward with increased celerity towards Tothill-fields, and soon reached their proposed place of destination.
On entering, Tallyho was reminded by his Cousin to button up his toggery, keep his ogles66 in action, and be awake. “For,” said he, “you will here have to mingle67 with some of the queer Gills and rum Covies of all ranks.”
This advice being taken, they soon found themselves in this temple of torment68, where Bob surveyed a motly group assembled, and at that moment engaged in the sports of the evening. The generality of the company bore the appearance of Butchers, Dog-fanciers and Ruffians, intermingled here and there with a few Sprigs of Fashion, a few Corinthian Sicells, Coster-mongers, Coal-heavers, Watermen, Soldiers, and Livery-servants.
Page387 the Country Squire
The bear was just then pinn'd by a dog belonging to a real lover of the game, who, with his shirt-sleeves tuck'd up, declared he was a d———d good one, and nothing but a good one, so help him G———d. This dog, at the hazard of his life, had seized poor Bruin by the under lip, who sent forth69 a tremendous howl indicative of his sufferings, and was endeavouring to give him a fraternal hug; many other dogs were barking aloud with anxiety to take an active share in the amusement, while the bear, who was chained by the neck to a staple70 in the wall, and compelled to keep an almost erect71 posture72, shook his antagonist73 with all the fury of madness produced by excessive torture. In the mean time bets were made and watches pull'd forth, to decide how long the bow-wow would bother the ragged74 Russian. The Dog-breeders were chaffing each other upon the value of their canine75 property, each holding his [388] brother-puppy between his legs, till a fair opportunity for a let-loose offered, and many wagers76 were won and lost in a short space of time. Bob remained a silent spectator; while his Cousin, who was better up to the gossip, mixt with the hard-featured sportsmen, inquired the names of their dogs, what prices were fix'd upon, when they had fought last, and other questions equally important to amateurs.
Bruin got rid of his customers in succession as they came up to him, and when they had once made a seizure77, it was generally by a hug which almost deprived them of life, at least it took from them the power of continuing their hold; but his release from one was only the signal for attack from another.
While this exhibition continued, Tom could not help calling his Cousin's attention to an almost bald-headed man, who occupied a front seat, and sat with his dog, which was something of the bull breed, between his legs, while the paws of the animal rested on the top rail, and which forcibly brought to his recollection the well-known anecdote78 of Garrick and the Butcher's dog with his master's wig79 on, while the greasy80 carcass-dealer was wiping the perspiration81 from his uncovered pericranium.
Bob, who had seen a badger-bait, and occasionally at fairs in the country a dancing bear, had never before seen a bear-bait, stood up most of the time, observing those around him, and paying attention to their proceedings while entertaining sentiments somewhat similar to the following lines:—
Present the spectacle of human kind,
With ev'ry dreadful passion rous'd to flame,
All sense of justice lost and sense of shame.”
When Charley the proprietor86 thought his bear was sufficiently87 exercised for the night, he was led to his den36, lacerated and almost lamed88, to recover of his wounds, with an intention that he should “fight his battles o'er again.” Meanwhile Tom and Bob walk'd homeward.
The next day having been appointed for the coronation of our most gracious Sovereign, our friends were off at an early hour in the morning, to secure their seats in [389] Westminster Hall; and on their way they met the carriage of our disappointed and now much lamented89 Queen, her endeavours to obtain admission to the Abbey having proved fruitless.
In all his acts to serve the public good,
As in that moment of heartfelt joy
That firmness acted only to destroy
Who lived in sorrow, and lamented died!”
It was a painful circumstance to Dashall, who was seldom severe in his judgments92, or harsh in his censures93. He regretted its occurrence, and it operated in some degree to rob a splendid ceremony of its magnificence, and to sever21 from royalty94 half its dignity.
The preparations however were arranged upon a scale of grandeur95 suited to the occasion. The exterior96 of Westminster Hall and Abbey presented a most interesting appearance. Commodious97 seats were erected98 for the accommodation of spectators to view the procession in its moving order, and were thronged99 with thousands of anxious subjects to greet their Sovereign with demonstrations100 of loyalty101 and love.
It was certainly a proud day of national festivity. The firing of guns and the ringing of bells announced the progress of the Coronation in its various stages to completion; and in the evening Hyde Park was brilliantly and tastefully illuminated102, and an extensive range of excellent fireworks were discharged under the direction of Sir William Congreve. We must however confine ourselves to that which came under the view of the Hon. Tom Dashall and his Cousin, who, being seated in the Hall, had a fine opportunity of witnessing the banquet, and the challenge of the Champion.
A flooring of wood had been laid down in the Hall at an elevation103 of fourteen inches above the flags. Three tiers of galleries were erected on each side, covered with a rich and profuse104 scarlet105 drapery falling from a cornice formed of a double row of gold-twisted rope, and ornamented107 with a succession of magnificent gold pelmets and rosettes. The front of the door which entered from the passage without, was covered with a curtain of scarlet, trimmed with deep gold fringe, and looped up on each side with [390] silken ropes. The floor, and to the extremity108 of the first three steps of the Throne, was covered with a splendid Persian-pattern Wilton carpet, and the remainder of the steps with scarlet baize.
The canopy109 of the throne, which was square, was surrounded by a beautiful carved and gilt110 cornice, prepared by Mr. Evans. Beneath the cornice hung a succession of crimson111-velvet112 pelmet drapery, each pelmet having embroidered113 upon it a rose, a thistle, a crown, or a harp114. Surmounting115 the cornice in front was a gilt crown upon a velvet cushion, over the letters “Geo. IV.” supported on each side by an antique gilt ornament106. The entire back of the throne, as well as the interior of the canopy, were covered with crimson Genoa velvet, which was relieved by a treble row of broad and narrow gold lace which surrounded the whole. In the centre of the back were the royal arms, the lion and the unicorn116 rampant117, embroidered in the most costly118 style. Under this stood the chair of state, and near the throne were six splendid chairs placed for the other members of the royal family. These decorations, and the Hall being splendidly illuminated, presented to the eye a spectacle of the most imposing119 nature, heightened by the brilliant assemblage of elegantly dressed personages. The Ladies universally wore ostrich120 feathers, and the Gentlemen were attired121 in the most sumptuous122 dresses.
Page390 Grand Coronation Dinner
About four o'clock, his Majesty123 having gone through the other fatiguing124 ceremonies of the day, entered the Hall with the crown upon his head, and was greeted with shouts of “Long live the King!” from all quarters; shortly after which, the banquet was served by the necessary officers. But that part of the ceremony which most attracted the attention of Tallyho, was the challenge of the Champion, whose entrance was announced by the sound of the trumpets125 thrice; and who having proceeded on a beautiful horse in a full suit of armour126, under the porch of a triumphal arch, attended by the Duke of Wellington on his right, and the Deputy Earl Marshal on his left, to the place assigned him, the challenge was read aloud by the Herald127: he then threw down his gauntlet, which having lain a short time, was returned to him. This ceremony was repeated three times; when he drank to his Majesty, and received the gold cup and cover as his fee.
[391] The whole of this magnificent national pageant128 was conducted throughout with the most scrupulous129 attention to the customary etiquette130 of such occasions; and Tallyho, who had never witnessed any thing of the kind before, and consequently could have no conception of its splendour, was at various parts of the ceremony enraptured131; he fancied himself in Fairy-land, and that every thing he saw and heard was the effect of enchantment132. Our friends returned home highly gratified with their day's amusement.
