_September 20, 1813._ _A Doleful Disaster, or Miss Fubby Tatarmin's Wig caught Fire._ (Vide _Bath Guide_.)--A stout lady is in all the consternation of a blazing head of hair; the enormous superstructure piled on her head has caught fire at the top from the sconces on the mantel; her armchair is kicked over, and the whole of her household are making a desperate rush on to the scene of the conflagration; the footman has dragged the tablecloth from beneath the tea equipage, which has fallen to destruction, and is endeavouring to envelope the headdress of his mistress in the folds; a black page is discharging a flowerpot of water in the face of the distressed lady; female servants are flinging up their arms and screaming; and, in the rear, the elder servants are hurrying up in great distress. But Madge at the Rooms Must beware of her plumes; For if Vulcan her feather embraces, Like poor Lady Laycock, She'll burn like a haycock, And roast all the Loves and the Graces. ANSTEY'S _Bath Guide_. _November 5, 1813._ _The Two Kings of Terror. Copy of the transparency exhibited at Ackermann's Repository of Arts during the Illuminations of the 5th and 6th November, 1813, in honour of the splendid victories obtained by the Allies over the armies of France, at Leipzic and its environs._--'This subject, representing the two tyrants--viz., the tyrant Buonaparte and the tyrant Death--sitting together on the field of battle, in a manner which promises a more perfect intimacy immediately to ensue, is very entertaining. It is also instructive to observe that the former is now placed in a situation in which all Europe _may see through him_. The emblem, too, of the circle of dazzling light from mere _vapour_, which is so _soon extinguished_, has a good moral effect; and as the gas represents the dying flame, so does the drum, on which he is seated, typify the hollow and noisy nature of the falling usurper.' The above description of the subject appeared in the _Sun_ of Saturday, November 6, 1813. These printed comments arose from the picture itself having been transparent, and from a circle which surmounted the same, indicative of the strength and brotherly union of the Allies, composed of gas of brilliant brightness.
