Winning each heart, and delighting each eye:
That this Waterman ne'er is in want of a fare.
[164] IT was in one of those inviting8 mornings, mild and temperate9, that Dashall and Tallyho, lounged along Piccadilly, observant of passing events, and anticipating those of more interest which might occur in the course of another day devoted10 to the investigation11 of Real Life in London.
The street already exhibited its usual bustle12. The early coaches were rattling13 along on their way to their respective inns, loaded with passengers, inside and out, from the western parts of the country; the ponderous14 waggon15, the brewer's dray, and not less stunning16 din17 of the lighter18 and more rapid vehicles, from the splendid chariot to the humble19 tax-cart, combined to annoy the auricular organs of the contemplative perambulator, and together with the incessant20 discord21 of the dust-bell, accompanied by the hoarse22 stentorian23 voice of its athletic24 artist, induced Squire25 Tallyho to accelerate his pace, in order to escape, as he said, “this conspiration of villainous sounds,” more dissonant26 than that of his hounds at fault, and followed by his friend Dashall, slackened not his speed, until he reached the quietude of the new street leading to the King's Palace, in Pall27 Mall.
In Regent Place (at the extremity28 of this fine street) the two friends paused in admiration29 of the noble pile of buildings, which had on this new interesting spot so rapidly risen, as if by the direction of that necromantic31 and nocturnal architect, the Genius of the Wonderful Lamp.
[165] “Until lately, Carlton House, or more properly, now the King's Palace, was hid from observation, and the Royal view, in front of his princely mansion32, was bounded to the opposite side of the way, the distance of a few yards only; now the eye enjoys a perspective glance of a spacious33 and magnificent street, terminating in a handsome public edifice34, and yet terminating in appearance only, for here the new improvements sweep shortly to the left, and our attention is attracted to a superb circus, or quadrant, from whence without further deviation35, Regent Street continues in lengthened36 magnificence, until it unites itself in affinity37 of grandeur38 with Great Portland Place.”
Thus far had Dashall proceeded, when the Squire expressed his surprise that the new street had not been so planned as to lead, in one direct and uninterrupted line, from Pall Mall to its ultimate termination.
“Then indeed,” answered his friend, “it would have been one of the finest streets in the world.” “Here too,” continued the Squire, “is a manifest deficiency in Regent Place, there is a vacuum, it ought to be supplied with something, be it what it may, for the eye to rest on.”
“True, and your idea has been anticipated. One of the most interesting amongst the antiquities40 of Egypt, the column known as Cleopatra's Needle{1} is destined41 to raise
1 CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.
The Court of Common Council +
Fogrum, Botlieram, Gotham, &c. a full meeting.
Fog. (Laying down a newspaper.)
The City should be told of it.—They say
That Cleopatra's Needle's to be stuck
In front of Carlton House!
Got. They'll make the square
A pin-cushion.
Bot. No! worse—a needle-case.
Has my Lord Sidmouth sent no letter yet
To my Lord Mayor!—It should be pasted up.
Fog. 'Tis said the Deptford Sheer-hulk has been cleared
Of all its vagabonds, to bring it here.
Hot. This beats Whitechapel hollow. What's its weight?
Fog. About three hundred tons.
Bot. All solid steel?
A pond'rous weapon for a lady's handling!
Fog. No, stone with scratches on't; and here they say
They're making five-mile telescopes to read them!
Who was the sempstress?
Fog. Sir, a giantess,
About ten thousand yards—without her shoes,
Her thimble has been guessed, tho' rotten now,
To fill the place they call the Lake of Maris,
By Alexandria!—Nay, the noseless tilings
That sit upon their tails in Russell Street,
Fog. The Chronicle here says—a patent twist
Got. What was her favourite work?
Fog. (Rising majestically) Sir, she sewed pyramids!
[166] its lofty summit in Regent Place, and the western will shortly outrival the eastern wonder of the metropolis49.{1}
1 The Monument.
“Where London's column pointing to the skies,
Like a tall bull! lifts its head and lies.”
“By the bye, let us once more extend our excursion to the Monument, the day is delightful50, and the atmosphere unclouded. We will approximate the skies, and take a bird's-eye view of the metropolis.” In conformity51 with this suggestion the Squire submitted himself to the guidance of his friend, and an aquatic52 trip being agreed on, they directed their progress to Spring Garden Gate, and thence across the Park, towards Westminster Bridge.
“A boat, a boat, your honour,” vociferated several clamorous53 watermen, all in a breath; of whose invitation Dashall took not any notice; “I hate importunity,” he observed to his friend. Passing towards the stairs he was silently but respectfully saluted55 by a modest looking young man, without the obtrusive56 offer of service.—“Trim your boat, my lad,” this was the business of a moment; “now pull away and land us at the Shades—'of Elysium,'” said the Squire, terminating the instructions rather abruptly57, of the amphibious conveyancer. “I am rather at a loss to know,” said the waterman, “where that place is, but if your honors incline to the Shades at London Bridge, I'll row you there in the twirling of a mop-stick.” “The very spot,” said Dashall, and the waterman doffing59 his jacket, and encouraged to freedom by the familiar manner of the two strangers, [167] plied39 his oars lustily, humming, in cadence60, the old song:
“I was, d'ye see a waterman,
As tight and blythe as any,
?Twixt Chelsea town and Horsley-down,
I gain'd an honest penny.”
They now glided61 pleasantly on the serene62 bosom63 of the Thames, and enjoyed, in mute admiration, the beauties of a variegated64 prospect65, which, if equalled, is at least not excelled by any other in the universe. On either side of this noble river, a dense66 mass of buildings presented itself to the eye, and as the buoyant vehicle proceeded, the interest of the varying scene increased in progressive proportion. Thousands of barges67 skirted the margin68 of the lordly stream, and seemed like dependant69 vassals70, whose creation and existence were derived71 from and sustained by the fiat72 of old father Thames; and imagination might well pourtray the figure of the venerable parent of this magnificent stream regulating its rippling73 wave, and riding, in the triumph of regal sway, over his spacious domains74. The grandeur of the public edifices75 on the left, the numerous indications of art on the right, the active industry on both sides, and the fairy-like boats of pleasurable conveyance58 gliding76 to and fro', and shooting, in the distance, through one or other of the lofty arches of Waterloo Bridge, produced an effect imposingly78 grand, and was dwelt upon by our hero of Belville Hall, particularly with mingled79 sensations of surprise, admiration, and delight.
Silence had prevailed for some time, with the exception of the waterman, who now and then carroll'd a stanza80 responsive to the stroke of the oar3, when the attention of his fare was drawn81 towards him.
“You seem to enjoy a merry life, my good friend,” said the Squire.
“Ay, ay, your honour, God bless you, why should not I? At my poor home, and your honour knows that the cottage of the peasant is equally dear to him as is the Palace to the Prince, there is my old woman, with her five little ones, all looking forward to the happiness of seeing me in the evening, after the labours of the day; and to feel that one is cared for by somebody, is a sweet consolation82, amidst all our toils,—besides, your honour, the old times are partly come round again; half-a-crown will go farther, aye, thrice-told, now, than it did a few [168]years ago;—then hang sorrow, I am a contented83 waterman, your honour; so d——n the Pope, long life to King George the Fourth, and success to the land that we live in!” “Here,” said Dashall, “is an heterogeneous84 mixture of prejudice, simplicity85 and good nature.”
“You are but a young man, and cannot long have followed your present profession.—Is it from choice that you continue it.”
“Why, your honour, I served an apprenticeship86 to it, am not long out of my time, and continue it as well from choice as necessity; the first because I like it, and lastly, as our parson says, because in any other situation I could serve neither my neighbour nor myself.”
By this time the tiny bark had shot the centre arch of Waterloo; and new scenes of interest presented themselves, in ever-varying succession, as they proceeded towards Blackfriars. Somerset House wore, particularly, an aspect of great and imposing77 effect, and not less, as they ploughed the liquid element, was the interest excited, and the reminiscence of the Squire brought into action by the appearance of the Temple Gardens.—The simple, yet neatly87 laid out green-sward, reminded him of the verdant88 slope on part of his domains at Belville Hall, but here the resemblance finished; a diminutive89, although pure and limpid90 rivulet91 only, passed the slope alluded92 to, and here was a world of waters, into which the influx93 of ten thousand such rivulets94 would produce no apparent increase. Amidst these cogitations by the Squire, and others of an unknown description by Dashall, the boat passed underneath95 Blackfriars' Bridge, and the lofty doom96 of St. Paul burst upon the view of the two associates, with gigantic majesty97, and withdrew from their minds every impression save that of the towering object in view, superseding98 the consideration of all else, either present or retrospective.
“Rest on your oars,” was the order now given by the two friends, and while the waterman implicitly99 obeyed the mandate100, they gazed with enthusiasm, on the stupendous edifice, seen perhaps, to better advantage from the river than from any other station, and felt proud in their affinity to a country and countryman, capable, the former of instituting, and the latter of carrying into effect so august an undertaking101.{1}
1 During the building of St. Paul's Church, a country
employment as a carver. The Overseer smiling at the man's
calling the man to him, asked him what he had chiefly worked
at in the country?"Pig-troughs, &c.” was his answer. “Well
workmanship in a sow and pigs.” The man returned in a few
that he was immediately employed; and in tine, executed some
of the most difficult parts of the Cathedral, to the great
astonishment107 of all that knew the circumstance. So true it
is that genius is often lost in obscurity.
[169] Again proceeding108 on their way, they arrived in a few minutes, at another amongst the many in the metropolis, of those surprising works of public utility which reflect the highest honor on the laudable enterprize of the present times,—the Iron Bridge, known as Southwark Bridge, leading from the bottom of Queen Street, Cheapside to the Borough109. It is constructed of cast-iron, and, from the river particularly, presents an appearance of elegance110 and magnificence; consisting of three arches only, the spacious span of each, stretching across the Thames in towering majesty, affords an aquatic vista111 equally novel and interesting.
Gliding on the pacific wave, the “trim-built wherry” now passed under the lofty elevation112 of the centre arch; and our observers were struck with the contrast between the object of their admiration and its ancient neighbour, London Bridge, that “nameless, shapeless bulk of stone and lime,” with its irregular narrow arches, through which the pent-up stream rushes with such dangerous velocity113.
“This gothic hulk,” said the Squire, “is a deformity in the aspect of the river.” “And ought at least to be pulled down, if not rebuilt,” added his Cousin. “Even on the principle of economy, the large and incessant expenditure114 in support of this decayed structure, would be much more profitably applied in the erection of a new bridge of correspondent grandeur with the first metropolis in the universe; but the citizens seem inclined to protract115 the existence of this heavy fabric116, as a memento117 of the bad taste of their progenitors118.”
The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear;
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness in the desert air.'
[170] The indefatigable120 waterman continued to ply his oars, sans intermission, and in a few minutes our two associates in adventure were safely landed a short distance westward121 of the bridge. After remunerating the waterman, they ascended122 the stairs with an appetite quickened by the water breeze, and retired123 into the Shades, close at hand, for refreshment124, previous to a renewal125 of their excursion.
The Shades, near London Bridge, is a house, or rather cellar, much resorted to by respectable citizens of “sober fame,” induced chiefly by the powerful attraction of genuine wines, which may here be had either drawn immediately from the wood, and served in regular standard pewter measures, or in bottles, also of full measure, containing the pure beverage126, of various age and vintages. To these cellars numbers of the most respectable mercantile characters adjourn47 daily; enjoying the exhilarating juice of the grape, and further attracted by the pleasantness of situation, as commanding a full view of the river, whence the refreshing127 breeze is inhaled128 and enjoyed.
Here then, our heroes recruited; and while taking their wine, Bob was much gratified by the performance of an itinerant129 band of musicians, playing outside, some of the latest and most popular airs, in a masterly style of execution. “Among other numerous refinements130 and improvements of the age,” observed Dashall, “may be considered that of our itinerant metropolitan131 musicians, for instead of the vile132, discordant133 and grating hurdy-gurdy; the mechanical organ grinder, and the cat-gut scraper, “sawing a tune,” we have now parties who form themselves into small bands of really scientific and able performers, who from instruments well selected produce a combination of delightful melody; and this progress of harmony is equally evident with respect to vocalists, who frequently posting themselves opposite some well frequented tavern134 or coffee-house, amuse the inmates135 with catches, glees, duets, &c. and trust to the liberal feelings which the “concord of sweet sounds may have inspired, for remuneration and encouragement.”
Scarcely had Dashall concluded his remarks, when the musical party ceased their instrumental exertions136, and, diversifying137 the entertainment, one of the performers struck up a song, which we here present to the reader as a subject not inapplicable to our work.[171]
In London where comical jokes go free,
There are comical modes of cheating,
Birch-brooms are cut up for Souchong and Bohea,
And plaster for bread you are eating!
And plaster for bread you are eating!
(Spoken) “How do you do, Mrs. Caphusalent I hope you
approved of the genuine tea.” “O yes, new brooms sweep
clean, and I have no occasion to buy birch ones, while I
deal at your shop for tea.” “There's nothing like my cheap
forget plaster of Paris is very like it.”
Who feels my honest rhymes;
What are you after's? my reply,—
There never were such times!
There never were such times!
In Accum's test you'll find it clear,
For spirits of wine read Royal gin!
Quashee and drugs they call strong beer,
And Turtle soup is Ox's shin!
And Turtle soup is Ox's shin!
(Spoken) “By the powers of Moll Kelly, Mr. Max, but you've
murdered my dear friend Patrick O'Shaughnessy, for after
taking a noggin of your blue ruin, he went to blow out the
candle on stepping into bed, when the poor dear creature
went off in a blaze, and set fire to the house. Its all
nothing at all but spirits of wine, you bog-trotting
swindler!”
Moist sugar is made from the best red sand,
New milk from whiting and water!
Sloe juice poisons half the land,
And the weights get shorter and shorter!
And the weights get shorter and shorter!
(Spoken) “I hope,” says Mr. Deputy Doublethroat, “you found
the port I sent you last of the right sort: six years in
bottle, Sir, I warrant it made your heart glad.” “You mean
to partake of it four have already been booked inside
passengers for the other world, and my dear Mrs. Fribble and
me have been confined with inflammation ever since. Instead
of importer of foreign wines, Mr. Deputy, I'd have you write
1 The following receipt is copied from a book, which is
there said to be worth the price of the volume. “What is
drank as port wine, is very often only a mixture of malt
economical readers, the following are the proportions: forty-
of malt spirits, and eight gallons of good port wine,
coloured with cochineal, and roughened with elder tops. It
should stand two years in casks, and one in bottles. If
rough cider is substituted for turnip juice, and Coniac
brandy for malt spirits, the wine will be the better.”
Turkey-coffee is Horse-beans ground,
Irish eggs are boil'd in lime:
In every trade deception's found,
Except it be in yours or mine!
Except it be in yours or mine!
(Spoken) “There's more milk drank in London in a week than
all the Cows in England could give in a fortnight;” says
Blunderskull. “How can that be?” “Why to be sure, because
two-thirds of it is white-wash!”
What are you at? each knave may cry,
Who feels my honest rhymes:
What are you after's? my reply,—
There never were such times!
There never were such times!
It was but a few steps from the Shades to the Monument, to which our adventurers were now pursuing their way, when they met with an incident not unworthy of observation. Do not leave your goods, is the friendly admonition generally inscribed147, in large characters, over the resting place for porters, throughout the metropolis. Opposite the church of Saint Magnus, close by London Bridge, a porter having pitched his load, turned his back upon it, and reclined himself against the post in careless ease, and security. It was just as our heroes approached, that the porter had turned himself round to resume his burden, when lo! it had vanished; in what manner no one can tell! without doubt, one of those numerous street-prowlers who are continually on the look out for prey148, observing the remissness149 of the porter, had availed himself of the favourable150 opportunity, and quietly walked off with his booty. A crowd collected round the sufferer, but it afforded him neither sympathy nor relief. Our associates, however, contributed in mitigation of his loss, and proceeding up Fish-street Hill, were, in a few moments, shrouded151 under the towering column of the Monument.
Ascending152 the spiral stair-case of black marble, consisting of three hundred and forty-five steps, winding153 like a cork-screw, to the summit, our aspirants154 reached their aerial station in the gallery of this lofty edifice, and enjoyed one of the most variegated and extensively [173] interesting prospects155 of any in the metropolis. Far as the eye could reach, skirting itself down the river, a forest of tall masts appeared, and the colours of all nations, waving gaily156 in the breeze, gave a splendid idea of the opulence157 and industry of the first commercial city in the universe. The moving panorama158, far beneath the giddy height, resembled the flitting figures of a camera obscura; the spacious Thames was reduced to a brook159; the stately vessels160 riding on its undulating wave seemed the dwarfish161 boats of the school-boy navigator; and glancing on the streets and along London Bridge, horses dwindled162 in appearance to mice, and carriages to children's toys! after having enjoyed, during several minutes, the prospects afforded by their elevated position, the two friends descended163, and with a feeling of relief again trod the safer and less difficult path of terra firma.
Our observers now turned their direction westward, and passed into Lombard Street, chiefly formed of banking-houses and other public edifices. “This street,” said Dashall, “is noted164 as the focus of wealth, the point of convergence of civic165 riches, and its respectable bankers are not more dignified166 by the possession of superabundant property than enhanced in the estimation of their fellow-citizens by strictly167 conscientious168 honour and integrity.
“And of these not the least important in self-consequence is the jolly civic Baronet,” continued Dashall, “who has already come more than once within the scope of our observation.”
“Ecce homo! behold169 the man!” responded the Squire, and the Baronet was descried170 rolling his ponderous form from the opposite alley171 to his banking-house.
“It is rather unfortunate,” observed Dashall, “that nature has not kept pace with fortune, in liberality to the Baronet. Profuse172 in giving him a colossal173 magnitude of person, he exhibits a most disproportionable endowment of intellect. Unlike his great prototype Sir John, in one sense, but yet resembling him in another, 'He is not witty174 himself, but he occasions wit in others.'”
“You are very fond of making a butt175 of me,” observed the Baronet to a brother Alderman.—“By no means,” rejoined the latter, “I never was fond of an empty butt in my life.” “Is the worthy146 Baronet inclined at times, (asked the Squire) in his capacity of M.P. to irradiate the gloom of St. Stephens?”
[174] “O yes, frequently, particularly so when in the plenitude of his wisdom he conceives that he can enlighten the house with a modicum176 of information. The last time I heard him hold forth177 was as an apologist for the tumultuary loyalists at the Mansion House Meeting, when he delivered himself in a manner so heterogeneal of commonsense179, and so completely in a style of egotism, as to excite the ridicule180 and risibility181 of the whole house, and discompose the gravity of even the speaker himself."{1}
1 The following is a strictly literal versification of the Speech
alluded to:
THE MANSION-HOUSE ROW, AND APOLOGY FOR
THE LOYALISTS.
W—ll—m C—RT—s, Baronet, in the House of Commons, Friday,
February 2, on the presentation, by Mr. John Smith, of the
Petition of the Merchants of London.
I rise, Mr. Speaker, indulgence entreating183
A Speech while I make on the Mansion-house Meeting.
The prior Requisition was certainly signed
By men of good substance, with pockets well lin'd!
With such I am ever good humour'd and civil,
But worth, without wealth, I would pitch to the devil'.
The Lord Mayor, I think, then, assum'd a position
Of duty, in yielding to said Requisition;
If ever I saw, from the day I was born,
A list of more honoured, more propertied men,
And probably never may see such again.
Now high as I prize both the merits and station,
Of loyalists signing the first declaration;
Permit me to say, it was too mild by half,
Too much milk and water—Some Members may laugh—
I care not;—I say that it did not inherit
The tythe of a loyal and time serving spirit.
I'm charged too with signing it, nevertheless,
I DID,—for I knew not how else to express
The Crown,—and Old England's decay'd Constitution!
Who they are, Constitution and Crown that sustain,
The people should now,—else we labour in vain!
And, therefore, I sign'd the fore-named declaration.
Altho' such a weak milk and water potation!
And lose the high gain,—ministerial applause.
?Pon honour,—aye, even in detractions despite—
In corners and holes, Sir, I take no delight;
And, never on any pursuit do I go,
I signed, Sir, the loyal, luke-warm declaration,
To bring to its senses a turbulent nation!
To cheer up His Majesty,—win his good graces,
And keep his lov'd Ministers still in their places!
Is not quite correct in detailing what pass'd
At the Mansion-house Meeting; for patiently heard
He was, until symptoms of riot appear'd.
And each with revilings his neighbour assail'd?
Why, Sir, to this house, I could prove in a minute,
That greater majorities out than now in it,
Well-bred, Sir, believe me, and good-looking people,
Were wedg'd in the Mansion-house quite of a heap all;
But no,—not a word was I suffer'd to mention!
A party oppos'd me, altho' no long speeches
And waiting a hearing an hour, perhaps longer,
The dissonant clamour grew fiercer and stronger!
Exceeded in fury the storms of the ocean!
And press'd, the conflicting addressers among,
And swore that they never would visit another!
A similar fracas I happen'd to see;
So high, that a stout battle-royal was fought!
Indeed, save one Meeting, I ne'er knew a case,
In that one, so happen'd, good luck to betide,
Its fortunate members—were all on one side!
Their zeal,——may they issue a strong declaration,
Then mix'd with a water and milk preparation!
The gout in my toe, for I wore a great shoe,
At last sent me home, without bidding adieu.
And now having said, Mr. Speaker, thus much
I hope on this house the impression is such,
From charge, at that Meeting, of boisterous204 proceedure.
[175] The two partners in adventure had now reached the Mansion House. The Justice Room was open, and the friends ascended the stairs in order to witness the equitable208 dispensation of right by the Civic Sovereign.
The case now under investigation was a curious one, and excited the interest and amusement of a numerous auditory.
The itinerant exhibitor of a dancing bear, complained that the person (proprietor209 of a small menage) now summoned into the presence of his lordship, illegally withheld210 from him a monkey, his property, and the ci-devant associate of the ursine211 dancer aforesaid.
On the other hand, the master of the menage roundly asserted that he was the rightful proprietor of the monkey, and had been in possession of the animal for several years.
“My lord,” said the master of the bear, “let the monkey be produced, and I will abide212 by his choice between this man and me as his master.” This proposition appearing reasonable, and pug having been brought forward as evidence, before giving his testimony213 made a respectful obeisance214 to the Chief Magistrate215, and so far as chattering216 and grinning were indicative of his good intentions, seemed desirous of expressing his courtesy to the auditory in general. After having stared about him for some time, with an inquisitive217 eye, and corresponding gesticulation, he discerned the bear-master, and springing into his arms with all the eagerness of affectionate recognition, expressed the utmost joy at the unexpected meeting, and when the other claimant attempted to approach, he repulsed218 him in the most furious manner, and clung to the friend of his election with renewed pertinacity219.
Under these circumstances, the monkey was adjudged to the bear-master as his proper owner, and pug and his friend left the Justice Room, with mutual220 exchange of endearments221.
Nothing else meriting notice, occurred to the two strangers in this their new scene of observation. The Civic Sovereign having resigned the chair to one of the Aldermen, in order that he might attend the Sessions at the Old Bailey, Dashall and the Squire, at the same time, retired with the intention (the day now waning222 apace) of making the best of their way home, which they reached without further adventure.
