THE GAZETTE. SATURDAY MORNING. JANUARY ^ T HACK KRAY'S UKU It RKS—GKORGK IV. 1 Mr. Thackeray’s Sketch of George IV an! : h his Times, is one ol the most powerful aud ci graphic of his effort*. i111 a slate and a | piece of chalk, he thought lie could form a , ^ respectable likeness ot tbe monarch named, ^ so far a* the external form of his fat was ro- j ' i'erred to. But wheu lie came to look into j j. his history, he found nothing but a coat with . n a star on it, a Truefit brown wig reeking w ith • v| oil, and a mass smiling under it, under- e waistcoats and more under-waiscoats under c them, all false, nothing but a corpulent j jt simulacrum. All was grins, padding*, p it* , asites and putrefaction. He signed Ins ! h name sometimes with a steady, sometimes j i< an unsteady hand, a* t«eorge 1 .01 George B. p to State papers. I his was l»*.s highest jv mental effort. Others wrote them. A% ichin j o live days after his illustrious birth, he was | dubbed Prince ot Wales, Marquis of this in ,l Ungland, Lord of the other in Scotland, and Lord knows what in many other places. j ' The cradle of the royal in hint was cucumber- ' ed with loval gifts. Among others there i ^ were wise men in America to hail theappear- ; nnce of this star in the Last, and a ent ires ^ Indian bow aud arrow were sent to the 0 prince from his father s faithful subjects in a X. York. Before he could speak, statesmen, | k not men, were busy kissing his little feet. > As he grew old, George 1\ preferred : ■young guardsmen and boys tor hi* coin pan- [ ions. His conduct in relatiou to Mrs. Kobiu- t; sun and Mrs. I* itzhorbert, was alluued tu in ^ 1 becoming terms ot ind gnation. Still notwithstanding dark traits suihcient b to have doomed any man but a king to in!a- ; r inv, men ot some honorable place in the land • were found as guests at his table. 1 be ta ble of Princes is doubtless tempting, and it ; 1 is wonderful the aroma which with most men / their presence lends to wine, fox and Sher idan, and Scott were often there, and little Tommy Moore twittered about for awhile, 11 took wing attacked him with beat, and wing and claw. Indeed most people are willing _ fur “grand” company to take a headache tbe next day. But tbe wine itself, apart trom t> the company, was not unpleasant to many u great men of the time. 1*111 used to take a bottle of port after dinner, and then, on hi* j wav to the H >u*e, stalk into Bt*ilam\ s with 1 Hunua*, and throw on top of it a couple ot 0 bottles more. lJ But he was kind, it is said to nis servant-, a belief found on a pleasant story told oi an 1 Irish servant maid. Molly something, "ho a cried when about to leave Carlton Houj-e, be cause he was such a sweet spoken gentleman. But Irish women are tender, especially in 1 in thoir tears. Then he sent some uionev !; to Sheridan on his death bed, and it hi- d\ing u -friend” had not spurned it, might have sent j n more. He borrowed eight hundred pounds, : | too, one day from one friend, and maoo a ^ present of it to another, an old soldier whose « family were in want, which was a most gen erous and self-saorificng act ! He kissed | Perdita also, very affectionately one day, and 1 did not know her the next, ll.en poor _ wretched Brummell, said Mr. lhaekeray, in t words whose beauty we cannot hope to cat.-h c —he cheated iinn out 'd a snuff box, and when the miserable old worn-out beau, e as token of submission offered him another, j in hope of wakening the memory of old times, ho pocketed the snuff' box and cut the man i who was once his favorite, his companion, i his rival and his superior. N\ hen the Hueh- 1 ess of I>ev nshire died, so remarkable tpr her ; goodness and her heart, George I\ said we 1 have lost the best-bred woman in the world. . Fox said we have lost the kindest-hearted > woman in the world. I heso two sayings are no feeble indications of the character of the two men. These tale-, Mr. Thackeray said, j 1 are all base and mean, but they are character- j ^ isfic,and what else has a man to say ot George ^ I\ ‘* Kmpires were torn and battles lost, w bile , lie .^at fat, and taking his till of pleasure. George IN is dead, sail Mr. lhaekeray, hut twenty-five years, and every one asks, as _ doubtless all there last night a-ked, how it is j possible there could bo a society so debased , as to tolerate such a man, or a kingdom so ^ fallen as to call him sovereign. Yet. in those | days, if astranger had said in < ’oi. Ne" come > j presence what he said that night, the * °l°nel ^ would have lifted his bamboo cane.—There * > are numbers of silly people who would do t the same now to any one breathing a word . agaiust rovaltv. but will not their descendant** in some years lienee smile equally at such i folly? w ^ George IV was called “the first gentleman t of his day, but the gentleman ot that day was a bold boxer, would drive any distance - to a fight, thought it fast to spend an oeea- . k sional night in the watch-house, and would swear to make your hair stand on end. Mr. ^ Thackeray then told, with most charming j pleasantness, of how he had met, last sum mer, we think, an old German gentleman 1 who hail once mixed in high soceity in * , land, but had not beeu there for fifty years, j Almost every second word he spoke was a { monster oath. Then rend Byron s letteis < laden with damns, and the story of tue skull ] cup out of which they drank at Newstead j | Abbev. It was quite the thing to run through toll gates without paying, and a < premier, and treasurer, and lord chancellor j once did so, and were shot at without i's overcoming the world like a summer cloud, • or exciting any special wonder. Mr Thackeray tbeu introduced some anec- ; of drinkinsr bouts among the lawyers of the day—Eldon, then Mr. Scott, andouier?, * which created much merry laughter. iVy j were giants in those days, in drink, said Mi. Thackeray. 1 , From the held of drink Mr. lhackeray ; J turned to that of dice, and carried us back to . the small room in Brookes s, where Charles j Fox once sat through a session ot i wen tv-two ( hours play—told how lie lost at different j limes two hundred thousand pounds at play, and how lightly he bore it, and brought us!; finally down ‘to Lord De Ross’s r- cent j sauteur le coup exnbdts in the same M li’g < Club. When Mr. Thackeray, however,stated j ' that the days of gambling were passed, he j I indulged in a very rosv illusion. It is true that Cockmrd’s is still, and the rattle that once rang in Brookes’* is no longer heard, j 1 bat in a certain club not many yards off, m Arlington street, scenes ot t ley tax>* T aice j each night which are quite wormy «*f a piace ! ^ alongside ot the most telling he presented. Mr. Thackeray then, utter a sketch < t hiN conduct on the Catholic question, passed t«» t the picture of his wedded life. M henhiswite ( was tirst presented to h.m .-die tried to kneel, i but, with his usual grace, be lifted her, a: d, , turning to bis attendant, "aid, “I am sick j _vret me brandy !” He then reeled into the ] very chapel and hiceuped *>ut his vows. But let us pass, Mr. Thackeray said, in loathing < from this royal brute—a disgrace not alone ; to the name of gentleman but ot man. i Thank Heaven, there were gentlemen in < England at the time— men worthy of the j riunie—noble in thought, iu deed, in love 1 and duty t<* their country. Such men as Colliugwood, a" Southey, and as Heber— ; men of the sword, the pen, and the Bible—of such men, and they were not tew, England ^ mav well be proud. But if one George, s-ii l Mr. Thackeray in ^ eloquent peroration, on that side of the Atlantic was a disgrace t * that age, there was } another George on this side who was its j redeeming honor—George Washington, the greatest citizen of the Saxon race. lie did not believe that in this day England would tolerate such a king as George IV It was, , j however, fortunately exposed to no such trial, 4 for England had to-day a sovereign to whose 1 r virtues she was proud to be royal.—r/u.Lri<j. o Q r A C K K K V—PRKSCOTT S <N \ KAN r/. S I'JMILY MEDICINES.—In j o e-entmg these preparations to the public, the ; opnetors are awaie ot the prejudices which j q ey nni.-t expect to encounter. I he country q deluged with quack nostrums, each claiming j f be the nr j ius ultra—the medicine ot all rnedt* j l.rs. and ai*4 pushed into notice by the aid ot q in»t*r - mk. with a zeal worthy ot a better ; iu»e, notw ithstanding all that Las Deen said v id ’lie es-ays written against their u.-e by the •oiessinn. and out ot the profession. Indeed so evident has become the manta, tor quackery, . ;.t? a recent writer, a man of eminence m the .edical proAs-mn, strong''.' adw>es that the A ibject be let atone. "It exist-, says he. "in 1 erv walk and occupation ot life, by the exer- j' se of which men procure bread, and thinks time wa-ted tc* endeavor to stem the tide. We ha\e long since thought that the only e:- - ctual method ol counteracting this strong cur- j f • nt ot quackery is to place in the hands ot the eople regular Sled wines, prepared in accordance ^ ^ ith the lulesiuid down by the diliereut colleges ^ ; Pharmacy. I j, When our prairies and mountains catch on ^ ie. and the inhabitants behold the devouring Ament sweeping lowaids their devoted homes, j hat do they do?

Now this is precisely what we re trying to Jo.
