SOCIAL QUEENS OF LONDON.
ldy Blessington to Lady Palm erst on.
An English writer says: "About forty years
go the fashionable system of London society
might be said to hare consisted of three
separate spheres, each of them brilliant, fas
cinating, and famous. Over one presided
Lady Holland; over the second, the Countess
of Charleville; and over the third the most
celebrated, perhaps, of the glittering trio
Marguerite, Countess of Blessington. Amid
a multitude of differences in their charac
ters, ambitions, and careers, these ladies,
whose names are now historical, still pos
sessed certain points in common. It was
the object alike of each to adorn the social
world in which she was acknowledged su
preme with all that was best and choicest of
the wit, intellect, and beauty of the day.
There was an identity in the mission
which each of these three titled dames con
sidered she was destined to fulfil, and if
there was any disparity in the results
which each separately secured, there was
at least no antagonism between the means
that were employed. Doubtless the aspira
tions of Lady Holland, Lady Charleville,
and Lady Blessington were primarily
selfish; but they were imbued with no
small measure of generosity and be
neficence as well. Each sought to be solo
and exclusive arbitresa in her own world;
but each knew that it was only by harmony
and union among her subjects that her par
amount sovereignty could be achieved. If
no despotism could be more absolute than
tbat exercised by the empress of Seatnore
Place or the queen of Holland House, their
followers could have experienced no form of
social tyranny more entirely productive of
comfort to themselves. The authority of
those queens of society rested upon a basis of
mutual tolerance and esteem, and enforced
as the prime regulating principles of inter
course npon the various members of the
crowds who periodically thronged the "salon"
in Kensington or the drawing-room in May
fair. To rally round her all the available
representatives of wit, intellect, fame,
and to elicit from every social atom,
whatever its kind or value, any spe
cies of talent latent within that was one
object held equally in view by Lady Bles
siDgton, Lady Holland, and Lady Charle
rille. To endeavor to bring about a pleas
ant rapprocltcment between men of letters,
science, or art, hitherto unacquainted, es
tranged, or isolated to establish between
them kindly and humane sentiments, or to
restore those sentiments when they had once
been broken that was the second aspiration
which these social potentates cherished.
Thus the salons of Holland House, Seamore
Place first, and the Gore House afterwards,
and Chaileville House exhibited the joyful
results of a happy nnion between the spirit
of personal ambition and general philan
thropy. If it is disputed which could best
lay claim to the latter character, it must be
remembered tbat, as a matter of fact, Holland
House and Charleville House gradually
assumed a special political complexion.
This could never be said of the drawing
room of the Countess of Blessington. It re
tained its features of brilliant catholicity to
the last.
"It may perhaps seem strange . that the
present time (should be so entirely withoat
anything like adequate antetypes of these
famous ladies, with their supreme and un
disputed social sway, their glittering and
historical social rendezvous. The late Lady
Falmerston was perhaps the last of a race
of aristocratio dames that has now become
extinct, and her death marked the close
of an era in political sociology. The famous
"Wednesday evenings which used to be cele
brated in the salons of Cambridge House
take us back to an epoch which has' con
clusively vanished from among us, and
are about the most recent instances we
have of direct drawing-room influence upon
political life. The social sove
reignty exercised by the distinguished
ladies whom we have hitherto had in view,
was, it must be remembered, a sovereignty
resting on a basis of personal ability, accom
plishments, and charms. Unless Lady Bles
sington and Lady Holland had been conspicu
ous for the perfection of their manner and
the graceful spell of their conversation, they
would have found no willing host of subjects
to give them their allegiance. If society now
is without the social queens of a past regime,
it is surely in no slight degree beoause those
who might be its queens have not the abili
ties requisite for sovereignty.
Beamore Plaoe, the Villa Belvidere at Naples,
the Palazzo Negrone at Rome, Gore House,
Kensington all these have successively been
immortalized by the brilliant countess, to the
first of whose residences as above
enumerated we now propose intro
ducing the reader. It is the height
of the London season some forty years
since, and we are standing in a long library
in the mansion of Beamore Place, whose
sides are alternately covered with' rows of
magnificently bound books and gorgeously
framed mirrors. The window, which is deep
and runs the entire breadtn ot the room,
opens npon Hyde Park. There was
no other room in Europe which could boast
of witnessing more brilliant reunions than
those which were then in the habit of
frequently assembling in that library in
Seamore Place. Subsequently Gore House,
to which the Countess of .blessington re
moved in 183(5. was oraced by a company
more distinguished, perhaps, than that which
met at her first residence, but not more
brilliant or attractive.
"If we would endeavor to picture Lady
Blessington to ourselves at her brightest aud
her best, we must go to her first and least
showy of London residences. It is one of
her reception nights. She has received a
favored few at dinner first, and now as the
night comes on her rooms beoin to fill. The
salon glitters with stars and is resplendent
with orders of every kind. Not a nation ot
the civilized world is without its representa
tive. There are foreign counts who have
achieved eminenoe, and who speak every Euro
pean language, attaches, ambassadors, and
princes. There stands the greatest capitalist
in the world, the original, possibly, of SilonU
of 'Coningsby' fame; and there, in groups at
intervals around the apartment, are mat
together all tnat is most euiiuent la every
possible department and kiud of exonlleao
and skill in England. Mr. Lylton Bulbar,
who has just won his spurs by his novel
'Pelham,' enters with an attractive traukuess,
and is received with etnprenxeinent by tan
noble hostess. That speaker yonder wuh tu.i
merry eye and the Bacchus head is Tam
Moore, criticizing the 'personnel' of the Eo
lith House of Commons and dwcusMu;.; tha
condition of Ireland. 'The great peri 1 of
Ireland's glory,' you may hear hiiu say,
between 'B2 and '1)2, and it was a tium .vht
a man almost lived with a pistol in his htud.'
A volley f well-bred laughter dray your
attention to another portion cf the room: you
look up and yon see Theodore Hook, the
Lucian Gay of 'Coningsby,' (a novel which, like
the receipt for the famous Tomahawk Punch
in 'viviaa Grey,' has jet to L developed;,
with his band on Lord Canterbury's
sleeve, narrating the incidents .of
the Jast practical joke, or expatiating npon
the theme of soma new political squib. A
little bit to the left yon have Horace Smith,
one of the authors of 'liejected Addresses,'
playing rather an aside in the conversation,
interpolating a pun or a witticism whenever
he gets a chance, but more a liotener than a
talker. There is a famous traveller just re
turned from Constantinople, and there,
Henry Bulwer (to-day Lord Darling) dismiss
ing with great earnestness the lant speech of
Daniel O'Connell. Scattered about the rooms
are such men as Lord Lyndhurst, Sir Robert
Peel, Lord Strangford, Sir Thomas Lawrenoe,
Henry Luttrell the 'wit among lords, and
the lord among wits' the Hon. W. It. Spen
cer, and Captain Marry at."
It may be observed as regards this picture
that the society, both of Gore Rouse and
Holland House, was almost exclusively that
of the sterner sex. There were circum
stances in the lives both of Lady Holland
and Lady Blessington to account for this.
I.Mr OR TA XTEXPERIMEXTS WITH G lV
COTTOM AND G UXP 0 WDKlt.
From the rail Mall Gazette.
An important experiment was carried out
a short time ago at the Iloyal Arsenal,
Woolwich, to discover how far Abel's com
pressed gun-cotton, which, as our readers are
aware, is now being largely introduced into
the service, is liable to explosion en masse by
simple ignition, and whether the explosion or
ignition of one case of gun-cotton would
necessarily be atteaded with the explosion or
ignition of adjacent cases. For the purpose
of this experiment a quantity of compressed
gun-cotton was packed in wooden cases, con
taining 28 pounds each, which, as regards ex
plosive power, is equivalent to about 112
pounds of gunpowder. In the first instance,
one of these 28-pound cases, the lid of which
was tightly screwed down, was ignited. There
was a tudden burst of bright llame, which
opened the box without destroying it,
and without causing anything of the
nature of an explosion. After this eight
cases, each containing 28 lbs. of gun-ootton,
and two cases containing each 28 lbs. of
damp gun-cotton, were placed on the ground,
and covered and surrounded by thirty-two
more' boxes, each of which contained a
quantity of sand equal in weight to 28 lbs. of
gun-cotton. The object was to imitate as
nearly as possible the condition of things in
a magazine of gun-cotton, where a number of
cases would bo piled together, and oua of
them might be accidentally fired. The ij' ra
tion of one box caused a sudden rush of bright
flame, which penetrated through the pile,
and was followed by another rush of lltine,
due to the ignition of the contents of another
box without any explosion. The result on
examination proved to be only a partiul dis
turbance of the pile on one side and the igni
tion of the contents of only one box in addi
tion to the box full of gun-cotton pur
posely ignited. The gun-cotton in the
six remaining oases had not been ignited.
nor had the damp gun-cotton. If any one
will take the trouble to consider what would
have been the effect of exploding a barrel of
gunpowder in the midst of seven other bar
rels of gunpowder, closely packed and built
up into a pile with other barrels, he will be
able to appreciate the exceptional and very
satisfactory behaviorof the gun-cotton in this
experiment. Afterwards, a case of damp guu
cotton was placed upon tba ground, on the
top of it a box of dry gun-cotton, ths bottom
of the box being thickly smeared with tar,
end the box itself being surrounded with
shavings. On this case another box of gun-
cotton was placed; and tne wnole was sur
rounded with boxes of damn gun-cotton and
a number of boxes filled with sand. .The
shavings were then ignited, and the fire com
municated in a short time with the interior
of the pile, the two casts of dry gun-cotton
becoming soon partially enveloped in flame.
Nothing further was observed for about a
quarter of an hour, when there was a puff,
a rush of name playing tnrough and about
the pile, and-i-nothing more. There was
no explosion, no disturbance even of the
pile. It was now considered safe to ap
proach the pile. On examination it appeared
tbat no damage had been done beyond char
ring or burning some of the boxes, charring
the surface of the damp gun-cotton as it be
came dried by the heat. It was supposed
that both the boxes of dry cotton had been
inflamed; but, some little time afterwards,
while the debris was being colleoted, ' the
second box of gun cotton, which had been
burned through, and which had been mis
taken for a box filled with sand, suddenly
burst into flame without even injuring a
man who was at the moment holding the box.
When it is considered that the box full of
gun-cotton represented 112 lbs. of gunpowder,
this result is sufficiently remarkable.
Those who witnessed this extremely in
structive experiment an experiment which
testifies in an unmistakable manner to the
safety of properly made compressed gun-
cotton in store and wno may nave tailed to
appreciate the exact significance of the trial,
can nanny ao Detter in an compare me re
sults with those lately obtained on the Plum-
stead Marshes with gunpowder. Uu tnis oc
casion it was desired to establish wnetuer
the statutory distance of twenty yards be
tween the'danger sheds" of an ammunition
factory, as laid down by tne uunpowder act,
is suihcient to afford complete and adequate
protection to the workpeople in sheds situate
at tnis ' distance from a sued in wuicn
60 lbs. of powder (the maximum
quantity permitted by law) may happen
to explode. To determine this poiut, wuioii
the Uome uthce had directed to be invest!
gated in anticipation of the revision of the
Gunpowder act, which we are gla 1 to hear is
in contemplation, five lightly-built wooJeo
sheds, such as might be employed in priva'e
cartridge factories, had been erected at
twenty yards distance from one another
Fifty pounds of guupowder or less than the
equivalent of half the quantity of gun-oot
ton in one ot me cases in tue former exoen.
ment was exploded in the central shed of ,;
the group. The result was a violent explo
sion which entirely destroyed the shed in
which the explosion took place, and which
blew the planks and timbers over a
large area some or tne piauks being
tarried to a distance of Mtventy.&ve
j aids. The whole of the sheds were
more or lesB shaken. A hirge plank was
driven on end, like a projeoilti, through the
sie of one of the hl'edn; aud it was clearly
established that the distance of twwnty ynU
prescribed by law is not suilioient to ad'ord
hbholute immunity from danger to tha work
people . in the adjacent hedx. The very
dill rrent betavior of the two explosions was
very reuiurkuble. This difference mitjht be
evtn uiote strikingly illustrated by the igni
tion of a case of guu-cottou in a oartrMge
bbtd such as tbat w hi; h was completely de
stroyed in the second experiment by a half
barrel of gunpowder. If this trial were to be
mada, we believe that the effect upon the
shed in which the gun-cotton is exploded
would be nil.
