TO MRS. H. Thou sweet, to whom all bend the knee,
No wonder men run after thee;
Theres something in a name, perhaps,
For Honeys often good for chaps.
A MR. GRAHAM has appeared at the Surrey. He is reported to be a very
chaste and clever actor. If so, he certainly will not suit the taste of
Mr. Davidges patrons. How they have tolerated Wilson, Leffler, and Miss
Romer so long, we are utterly at a loss to divine. It must be, that
music hath charms.
We are authorised to state that Rouse of the Eagle Tavern is not the
Rous who was lately returned for Westminster.
THE REAL AND THE IDEAL; OR, THE CATASTROPHE OF A VICTORIA MELO-DRAMA.
Berthelda.Sanguine, you have killed your mother!!!
Fruitwoman.Any apples, oranges, biscuits, ginger-beer!
(Curtain falls.)
QUALIFICATIONS FOR AN M.P. We give the following list of qualifications
for a member of parliament for Westminster, as a logical curiosity,
extracted from a handbill very liberally distributed by Captain Ronss
party, during the late contest:
1st. Because he is brother to the Earl of Stradbroke.
2nd. Because his family have always been hearty Conservatives.
3rd. Because they have been established in Suffolk from the time of the
Heptarchy.
4th. Because he entered the navy in 1808.
5th. Because he brought home Lord Aylmer in the Pique, in 1835.
6th. Because he ran the Pique aground in the Straits of Belleisle.
7th. Because after beating there for eleven hours, he got her off
again.
8th. Because he brought her into Portsmouth without a rudder or
forefoot, lower-masts all sprung, and leaking at the rate of two feet
per hour! ergo, he is the fittest man for the representative of
Westminster.Q.E.D.
THE ENTIRE ANIMAL. LORD LONDONDERRY, in a letter to Colonel Fitzroy,
begs of the gallant member to go the whole hog. This is natural advice
from a thorough bore like his lordship.
PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. VOL. 1. [pg 13] JULY 24, 1841. A MODEST
METHOD OF FORMING A NEW BUDGET SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR THE DEFICIENCY OF
THE REVENUE. A building (with the words More Ton Dyer) and a sail
forming the letter P oor Mr. Dyer! And so this gentleman has been
dismissed from the commission of the peace for humanely endeavouring to
obtain the release of Medhurst from confinement. Two or three thousand
pounds, he thought, given to some public charity, might persuade the
Home Secretary to remit the remainder of his sentence, and dispose the
public to look upon the prisoner with an indulgent eye.
