_April 23, 1805._ _The Modern Hercules cleansing the Augean Stable._--'Augeas, a king of Elis, had a stable which was not cleansed for thirty years, yet Hercules cleansed it in one day.'--_Heathen Mythology._ The modern Hercules, wrapped round with his lion's skin, is making use of a monster measure, _Whitbread's Entire_, with the contents of which he is freely deluging the St. Stephen's stables. The abbot of St. Stephen's, with mitre and crozier, ensconced in his niche, is in consternation at the work going on. The horses are all standing with their heads turned to their stalls, and their hoofs to the purifier. Dundas (Lord Melville) is kicking with energy, crying 'What the Deel is the man aboot?' Wilberforce's 'Broom for the suppression of Vice' is between his legs, and before him is a huge private chest for stray provender, with money bags outside. Trotter stands next; he cries, 'Attack the Gallopers! I am only a poor Trotter.' Pitt, a very bony steed, is crying, 'I am afraid we shall all be drenched in turn;' and a crowd of others are thrown into confusion at their prospects, saying, 'Who could have expected this?' Against the wall are stalls stored with money-bags from end to end: 'Navy Stall,' 'Army Stall,' 'Treasury Stall,' &c. _April 23, 1805._ _The Fifth Clause, or Effect of Example._ Published by T. Rowlandson. _April 28, 1805._ _A Scotch Sarcophagus._ Published by T. Rowlandson, Adelphi.--The Sarcophagus is of handsome design; two cherubims, in Scotch bonnets, surmount the lid; two devils, evidently much shocked, appear on the sides. Two Highlanders, in full kilt and tartan dresses, are standing as mourners, one is leaning weeping with his elbow on the urn, the other is seeking comfort in his snuff mull. _Stop, Traveller, and read._ Within this Sarcophagus, composed of Scotch pebbles, are deposited the political remains of JOHNNY MAC-CREE and his faithful servant JOHN TROTT. In respect to the former, suffice it to say that he was a strenuous friend to all Reports that reverberated to his advantage, whether proceeding from a first rate or a Catamaran Explosion. At length a Tenth Report, aided by an obstruction in the Thorax from the fifth clause, finished his Political Career. Mourn, Scotsmen, Mourn! For though he was a swift galloper on the high road of Peculation, yet his friend John, who lies beside him, was only his inferior in being but a simple Trotter, in the grand and Sublime scale marked out by his Worthy Preceptor. They took their departure on Monday, April 8, 1805.
