THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFIIFIIILADELFniA, FRIDAY, JULY 2G, 1867. THlCKtRM'S LECTURES ON THE GEORGES. GEORGE THE FOURTH. Continued from the test Issue of Thb Evihino You pcrme volumes alter volumes about our prince, and find aotue half citizen stock stories indeed, not many more common to all the his tories. He was jtood-uatuied; au Indolent, volup nous nrince, not unkindly. Oue story, tnc most favorable to him ot all, pcrhap. Is that, as prince recent, he was ea?er to hear all tnut could be said In tavor of prinoners con Jem tied to death, and anxious, if possible, to remit the capital sentence. Ho was KiDd to his servants. There is a story common to all biographers, of Molly the housemaid, who, when bis household was to be broken np, owtrisr. to some retorms which he tried absurdly to practise, was dis covered ciylnn as she dusted the chairs because he was to leave a muster who bad a kind word lor all bis servants. Another tale is that of a groom of the prince's being discovered tn corn and oat peculations, and dt-imlsed by the per sonage at the bend of tbe stables; the prince had word ol John's disgrace, remonstrated with him veiy kindly, penerouely reinstated bim, And bade him promise to sin no more a pro wine which John kept. Another story is very fondly told of the prince as a young man hear ing of an officer's family in distress, and how he straightway borrowed six or elsht hundred pounds, put bis long fair hair uuder bis hat, ud, so disitnixed, carried the money to the fitarvinR family. lie sent money, too, to Shea dan, on his death-bed, and would bavo sent more had not death ended the career of that man of genius, besides tbese, there are a lew pretty speeches, kind and graceful, to persons with whom he was brought in contact. But be turned upon twenty iriends. He was fond and familiar with them ono day, and he pnssed tbem on tbe next without recognition, tie used tbem. liked them, loved them peruatu m his way, and then separated from tbem. On Mon day he kit-sed and fondled poor Perdita, and on Tuesday be met her and did not know her. On Wednesday he was very atfoction ite wlta that wretched Ciommell, and on Thnr?day forgot him; cheated him even out of asnuif-box which he owed tbe poor dandy; saw him years alter wards In bis downfall and poverty, when the bankrupt Bean sent blm another snuff-box, with aomeot the snuff ho used to Ijve, as a piteous token ot remembrance and submission, and tbe King took the snntf and ordered his horses and drove on, and had not tbe grace to notice his old companion, favorite, rival, enemy, superior. In Wraxall there is some gossip about him. When the charming, beautiful, generous Duchess of Devonshire died the lonely lady whom ho used to call his dearest once, and pretend to ad mire as all English society admired her he said, "Then we have lost the best bred woman In England." "Then we have lent tbe kindest heart in Euelnnd," said noble Charles Fox. On another occasion, when three noolemen were to receive the garter, sajs Wraxall, "a great per sonage observed that never did three men re ceive tbe order in so characteristic a manner Tbe Duke of A. advanced t the sovereign witli a phlegmatic, cold, awkward air, hkeaclo-vn. Lord B. came forward fawning and snuline like a ceurtfer. Lord C. presented himself, easy, un embarrassed, like a gentleman." These are the stories one has to recall about the Prince and King kindness to a housemaid, generosity to a groom, criticl-m on a bow. There are no better stories about him; they are mean and trivial, and they characterize bim. Tbe gTcat war of empires and giants goes on. Day by day vic tories are won and lost by the brave. Torn, smoky flaps and battered eagles are wrenched from the heroic enemy and laid at his feet; and he eits there on his throne and smiles, and gives tbe guerdon of valor to the conqueror. lie! Elliston tbe actor, when the Coronation was performed, in which he took the principal part, used to fancy himself the Ring, burst into tears, and hiccouch a blessine on the people. I be lieve it is certain about George IV that he bad heard so much of tbe war, knighted so many people, and worn such a prodigious quantity of marshal's uniforms, cocked hats, cock's feathers, scarlet and bullion in general, that he actually fancied be had been present in some campaigns, and, under tbe name ot General Brock", led a tremendous charge of the German Legion at Waterloo. He Is dead but thirty years, and one asks how a great society could have tolerated him. Would we bear him now? In this quarter ota century what a silent revolution has been working) how it has separated us from old times and man ners t how it has changed men themselves! I . can see old gentlemen now amonij us, of perfect good breeding, and quiet lives, with venerable ,-grey beads, londling tboir grandchildren; and look at them, and wonder at what they were once. That gentleman of the grand old school, . vrben he was in the 10th Hussars, and dined at the prince's table, would fall under it night after night. Might after night that gentleman sat at Brookes' or Eacgett's over the dice. If, in tbe petulance of play or drink, that gentleman . spoke a sharp word to bis neighbor, he and the other would Infallibly eo out and try to shoot j ach other the next morning. That gentleman would drive bis friend Richmond the black r boxer down to Moulsey, and hold his coat, and r shout, and swear, and hurrah with delight while the black man was beating Dutch Sum the Jew. . That gentleman would take a manly pleasure in pulling his own coat off and thrashing a bargeman in a street row. That gentleman has been in a watch-house. That gentleman so ex quisitely polite with ladies in a drawing-rootu, so loltily courteous, if be talked now as he uset ' among men in his youth, would swear so as to make your hair stand on end. 1 met lately an old German gentleman who had served in our . army at tbe beginning of the century. Since then he has lived on his own estate, but rarely meeting with an Englishman, whose language . the language of titty years ago, that is tie pos sesses nerteellv. When this highbred old man began to speak English to me, almost every other word he uttered was an oa'b, as they used it (they swore dreaotully in Flanders) with the Duke of York before Valenciennes, or at Carlton House over the supper and cards. liead Byron's letters. So accustomed is tbe young man to oaths, that he employs them even in writiug to his friends, and swears Dy tbe post.

All the prince's time tells a similar strange tor v of of manners and pleasure.

Here we have the treasurer of tbe nav v. the lord ph chancellor, and the Prime m.ubter II en cased in a most undoubted lark. In fcldon s Koirs about tbe very same time, I read that tLTbHi foved wine as well as the woo wk.

"This was very hard upon me; bnt I did not go, and there was an attorney Irom Cumberland, and one from Northumberland, and I do not know bow many other persons. Pretty late, in came Jack Lee, a drunk as he could be. " 'I cannot consult to-nisht; I must goto bed,' be exclaimed, and away he went. Then came Sir Thomas Davenport. "'We cannot have a consultation to-night, Mr. Wordsworth' (Wordsworth, I think, was the name), shouted DavenpoTt. 'Don't you see how drunk Mr. Scott is? it is impossible to consult.' Poor me! who bad scarce any dinner, and lost all my wine I was so drunk that I could not consult I Well, a verdict was given against us, snd it was all owine to Lawyer Kawcett's dinner. We moved tor a new trial; and I must say for the honor of the bar, that these two gentlemen, Jack Lee and Sir Thomas Davenport, paid all the expenses between them of the first trial. It is the only instance I ever knew, but they did. We moveu tor a new trial (on the ground, I sup pohe, of the counsel not beincr. in their senses), ard it was erantcd. When it came on the fol lowing jear, the jmlire rone and said: " 'Gentlemen, did any of you dine with Law yer tawcett yesterday f lor if you did, I will not bear this cause till next year.' ' There was great laughter. We gained the came that time." On another occanion, at Lancaster, where poor Bozry roust Deeds be poing the northern ciicuit, "wo fouud him." 6ajs Mr. Scott, 'ljine upon tli" pavement inebriated. We subscribed a guinea at supper lor him, and a half crown for his clerk" (no doubt there was a large bar, and that Scott's joke did not cost him much), "ami sent him, w hen he waked next morning, a brief, with instructions to move for what he denomi nated the writ of qvare adfuvsil pavimentot with observations duly calculated to Induce him to think that it required great learning to express tbe necessity of granting it to the judge before whom he was to move." Bos well sent all round the town to attorneys for books that might en able hiniK-lf to distinguish himself, but in vain. He moved, however, lor the writ, making tbe befct use he could of the observations in tne brief. Tbe judge was perfectly astonished and the audience amazed. The judge said, "1 never hpard of men a writ: what can it hethat adheres paci menlol Are any of you gentlemen at tbe bar able to explain tlii The bar lauphcH. At last one of them said, "My lord, Mr. Bowell last night aih(rsitpavi menio. There was no moving him lor some time. At last he was carried to bed, and he has been dreaming about himself and the pavement." The caiinv old gentleman relishes these iokes. When the Bishop of Lincoln was moving from the deanery of St. Paul's he savs he asked a learned friend or bis, by name will Hay. how he should move some especially fine claret, about wnicn tic was anxious. "Prav. my lord bi6hop." eays nar. "How much of the wine have you ?" ine nil-nop t-aia six cozen. "If that is all.'- Hay answered, "you have but to ask me six times to dinner, and l will carry It an away niyseii," Tuere were giants in tnose days; Dut this lose about wine is not so tearlnl as one perpetrated by Olator Thelwall, in the heat of the French Revolution, ten years later, over a frothing pot ot porter. He blew tbe bead oft and said, "This Is the way I would serve all kings." Now we come to yet higher personaees, and find their doings recorded in the blushing pases ol timid Miss Barney's Memoirs. She represents a prince of the blood In quite a royal condition. The loudness, the Digness, the boisterousness, cieaking boots, aod rattling oaths of the young Erinces appeared to have frightened tbe prim ousehold of Windsor, and set ail the teacups twittering on the tray. On tbe night of a ball and birthday, when one of the pretty, kind princesses was to come out, it was agreed that ber brother, Pnnco William Henry, should dance the opening minuet with her, and he caino to visit their household at their dinner. "At dinner Mrs. Schwellenberg presided, at tired maeniticently; Mis Goldsworthy, Mrs. Stan fcitbi Messrs. i)u Lac and Ktauhope, dined with us; and whilu we were still eating truit, tbe Duke oi Clarence entered. "He was Just risn from the king's table, and wailing lor bis equipage to go home and prepare for the bull. To give you an idea of the energy ot his royal highness' lunuuage, I ought to set apait an objection to wnth.g, or rather inti mating certain forcible words, and beg leave to show jou in genuine colors a royal sailor. "We all rose, of course, upon his entrance, and tbe two geni'emen placed themselves be--hind their chairs, while the tootmen left the room. But he ordered us all to sit down, aud called the men bacK to hand about some wine. He was in exceeding hitrh spirits aud in the utmost good bumor. He placed himself at the head ot the table next Mrs. Bchwellenberg, aud lookea remaikabl.v well, gay, and full of sport aud mihcLiet; yet clever withal, as well as comical. " 'W ell, this is the first day I have ever diued with the king at St. James' on bis birthday! Pray, have you all drunk his majesty's health?' " -Mo, your ro.vul highness; your royal high ness miht make Oem do dut," said Mrs. Schwel lenberg. " 'Ob, by , I will ! Here, you (to the foot men), bring cLampagne; I'll drink the kind's health again, it 1 die lor it. Yes, I have done it pretty well already; bo has the king, 1 promise you. 1 believe bis majesty was never taken such good care ot belore ; we have kept his spirits up, 1 promise you; wo huve enabled blm to go through his faiigues; and 1 should have doue more siill but lor the ball and Mary; I have promised to dance with Mary. 1 must keep sober lor Mary.'" Indefatigable Miss Burney continues for a dozen paces reporting 11. It. II. 's conversation, and indicating, wuh a humor not uuwortby of the clever little author of "Evelina," the increas ing fctate ot excitement ot the young sailor prince, who drank more and more champagne, stopped old Mrs. sehwellenburg's remonstrances by giving the old lady a kiss, and telling ber to bold nei potato-trap, aud w ho did not "keep sober for Mary." Mary bad to find another paituer that night, for the royal William Henry could not keep his legs. Will you have a picture of the amusements of another royal vnnce ? It is the Duse ot York, the blundering general, the beloved coramander-in-chiel of the army, the brother with whom Georpe IV hud l.ud many a midnight carouse, and who continued his buoits of pleasure almost till death seized bis stout body. In "Puckler-Mubkau's Letters," the German prince detcribes a bout with U. to. II., who in his best time was such a powerful toper that "six Dottles ot cliret alter dinner scarce maae a perceptible cbaiige in his countenance." "1 remember," says Puckler, "that ono even ing indeed, it was past midnight he took some of his guest", anionu whom were the Austrian ambas idor, Count Meervelt, Count Bcroldingen, aud in v self, into his beautiful armory. We tried to swing several Turkish sabies, but none of us had a very firm graso, whence it happened that the duke and Meer velt both scratched themselves with a ort of straight Indian sword as to draw blood. Moer velt then wisho.1 to try if the sword cut us well as a Damatcus, aud attempted to cut through one of th wax candles that stood on the table. The experiment answered so ill that both the candle?, candlontcks and all, foil to the jround aud were extinguished. While we were groping in the dark, and trying to find the door, i he duke's md-de-cunio stammered out in great agiiatlon, 'By G , tic, I remember the Bword is poisoned 1' "You may conceive the agreeable feelings of the wounded at this intelligence. Happily, on further examination, it appeared that claret, and not (oison, was at the bottom of the colonel's exclamation." And now I have one more story of the baccha nalian sort, in which Clarence and York, and the very highest personage of the realm, the great prince regent, all play parts. The feast took place at the Tavilion at Biighum, and defcribed to me by a gentloman who was present at the scene. In Gilray's carica tures, and among Fox's Jolly associates, there figures a great nobleman, the Duke of Norlolk, called Jockey of Norfolk In his time, and celebrated lor his table exploits. He hsd quarrelled with the prince, like the rest of the Whigs; but a sortot reconciliation bad taken place; and now, beinc a very old man, tbe prince invited bim to dine and sleep at the Pavilion, and the old duke drove over from his castle of Arundel with his famous equipage ot grey horc.es, still remembered in Sussex. Tbe Prince of Wales had coneoctcd with his roialbroiher a notable scheme for making the old man drunk. Every person at taolo was enjoined to drink wine with the duke a chal lenge which the old toper did not refuse. He soon began to see that there was a conspiracy against him; be drank glass for glass: he over threw many ol the brave. At last the first gen tleman or Europe proposed bumpers ot btaudy. One of the royal brothers filled a great glass for the duke. He stood up and tossed off the drink. Wow." savs be. "1 will have my carriage, ana go home." The prince urged upon him his pre vious promise to sleep unaer me rooi wnere ne had been so senerously entertained, "No," he said; he had had rnongb ot such hospitality. A trap had been net lor him; be would leave the place at once, and never enter its doors more. Tbe carriage was called, and came; but in the halt hour's interval the liquor bad proved too potent for tbe old man; his host's generous purpose was answered, and the duke's old erey Lead lay Btopefiec! on the table. Nevertheless, when his postcbalse was announced, he stag gered to it as well as be could, and, stumbling m, bade tliej postilions drive to Arundel. They drove bim for half an hour round and round the Pavilion lawn; the nor old man fancied he was going home. When he awoke that morn ing he was in bed at the prince's hideous house at Brighton. You may see the place now for sixpence: they have tiddlers there every day; and sometimes burloons and mountebanks hire the Riding House, and do their tricks and tum bling there. The trees are still there, and trie gravel-walks round which the poor old sinner was trotted. lean fancy the flushed faces of the royal princes as they support themselves at tbe portico pillars, and look on at old Norfolk's disgrace; but I cun't fancy how the man who perpetrated it continued to be called gen tleman. From drinking the pleaded muse now turns to gambling, ot which, in his youth, our prince was a great practitioner. II was a famous pig on lor the play men; they lived upon him. Egaiito Orleans, it was believed, punished him severely. A noble lord, whom we shall call the Marquis ol Steynr, is said to have mulcted him In immense sums. He frequented the clubs, wh- re play was then almost universal; ami, as it as nowu his debts of honor were sacred, wh'le he was gambling Jews waited outside to I nrcbate his notes of hand. Hs transactions on the turt weie unlucky as well as discredit able, though I believe he and bis jeekey and his tone Ettape were all innocent in that affair which created bo much scandal. Arthur's, Al mack's, Bootle's, and White's were the chict clubs of the young men of fashion. There was play at all, and decayed noblemen and broken-down senators fleeced the unwary there. In "Selwyn's Letters" wo find Carlisle, Devonshire, Coventry, Queensbnry, all undergoing the probation. Charles Fox, a dieadtul eh m bier, who cheated in very late times, lost 200,000 at play. Gibbon tells of his playing for twenty-two hours at a sitting, aud losing 500 an hour. That indomitable punter said tbat tbe greatest pleasure in life, after winning, was losing. What hours, what nights, what health did be waste over the devil's books ! I was going to say what peace of mind, but he took his losses very philo sophically. After an awful night's play, and enjoyment ot the greatest pleasure but one in lite, tie was found on a sofa, tranquilly reading an eclogue ol Virgil. Play burvlved long after the wild prince and Fox bad given up the dice-box. Tuo daudies continued it. Byron, Brummell how many names could I mention of men of tbe world who have euUercd by Itl In 1837 occurred a famous tiial, which pretty nigh put an end to gambling in England. A peer of the realm was found cheating at wnnt, and repeatedly seen to prac tise tbe game called sauter la coupe. His friends at the clubs saw him cheat, and went on playing wilh him. One greenhorn, who had discovered his foul play, afked un old band what he should do. "Do?" said the Mammon of Unrighteous ness, "back him, you fool " The best efforts were made to screen him. People wrote him anonymous letters and warned him; but be would cheat, and they were obliged to find him out. Since tbat day, when my lord's shame wb made public, the gaming-table has lost all its splendor. Shabby Jews and blacklegs prowl about race-courses and tavern parlors, aud now and then inveigle silly yokels with greasy packs of cards in railroad cars: but Play is a deposed poddtse, her worshippers bankrupt, and her tabl In rags. So is another famous British Institution gon? to decay the Rinc: the noble practice of British boxing, which in my youth was still alniost flourishing. The prince, in his early days, was a great patron ot this national sport, as his grand-uncle, Culloden Cumberland, bad been belore htm; but, being ptetent at a fight at Brighton, where one ot the combatants was killed, tbe prince peuMontd the boxer's widow, and declared he never would attend another battle. "But. neverthehts" I lead in the noble language ot Pierce Eean (whose smaller work on Pugilism I have the henorto possets) "he thought it a manly aud decided English feature, which ought not to be destroyed. His majesty had a drawing ol the sporting characters In the Fives' Court pluctd in bis boudoir, to remind him of his former attachment and support of true courage; and when any fight ot note occurred after he was king accounts of it were read to him by his desire." That gives one a tine image of a king faking his recreation at ease in a royal dressing-sown too majestic to read himself, oruer lne the prime inmibter to read bim accounts of battles, how Ciibb punched Molyneux's eyes, or Jack hanoall thrusbed the Game Chicken. Where my prince did actually distinguish hirn sely was in driving. He drove once in four hours and a half from Brighton to Carlton fifty-six miles. All the young men of that day were fond ol that sport. But the fashinn of rapid driving deserted England, and, I believe, trolled over to America. Where are the anuife meuts of our youth ? I hear of no gambling now but among the lowest rabble. Oue solitary lour-in-hand still drove round the parks in London last year; but that character must soon' disappear. He was verv old: he was attired alter the faFbion of tbe year 1825. He must drive to the banks of Styx ere long, where the lerry-boat waits to carry him over to the de funct revellers who boxed, and gambled, aud drank, and drove with King George.
