MAYOR'S FEAST AT LYNN, NORFOLK.

The worthy Magistrate of Lynn, Scarlet Everard, Esq.
gave his civic feast to the gentlemen of the county and
city, at the Town Hall, on Wednesday the 29th ult.,
Michaelmas-day. The two Halls were full. Lord Or-
ford, the Members fibr the county, the Members for the
borough, Sir Jacob Astley, and the ex-Member (Mr. E
Wodehouse), were present. The dinner and wines were
excellent I• the speeches, however, senatorieally considered,
were far below par ; one of them most forcibly reminded
us of an American saw-mill. Mr. E. Wodehouse's speech
was best received ; it was tumultuously applauded. Mr.
Co

►ke spoke most at large.
Mr. Coke professed himself a decided opponent to the
Duke of Wellington's Administration, because he knew
the Duke to be a bitter enemy to liberty at his heart. The
Duke would bring forward next Session Parliamentary
Reform, the abolition and repeal of certain taxes, and
other measures so long Advocated by the Whigs, and he
(Mr. Coke) should be obliged to vote with him; but the
Duke would bring them forward, not because he liked
them, but because be was obliged to bring them forward,
or go out of office, and office he liked too well ever to leave
it so long as he could keep it. But be would now meet a
Parliament such as no Minister ever met before—a Par-
liament untractable—a Parliament determined upon every
possible ineasure.of retrenchment and economy.
One part of Mr. Coke's speech :ve will give in his own
words, as it created much interruption to its continuance :
" Gentlemen, I shall continue what you have always found
me—a Whig. The King can make a Peer—he can put a
ribbon upon the breast of a slave—but the King cannot
Make what you "can, what the people can make—an inde•
pendent Member of Parliament. The Almighty will soon
send me to my grave, but, thank God! I have lived to
see an end put to that system first begun by a man in this
kingdom, and afterwards continued in a Neighbouring
kingdom by the infamous Bourbons. The picture of that
man is in this room—there it is (Mr. Coke here pointed
to a full length portrait hung over the Mayor)—the worst
man that ever sat on a throne—George the Third, that
bloody King."
These words were no sooner uttered, than loud and
continued hissing proceeded from various parts of the hall.
The disapprobation evinced evidently arose not from any
personal feeling of disrespect to Mr. Coke, but from the
heartless injustice of gratuitously raking up the remains of
a venerated Sovereign so long cold in his tomb. When the
hissing ceased, Mr. Coke continued, but never perfectly
recovered himself, and conclude].
The " Health of the Bishop of Norwich" was then
given, and certainly a most happy parallel was drawn be-
tween him and the newly-made Bishop, Dr. Philpotts—
the one continuing firm to his political principles, though
denounced by so many successive Administrations; 'the
other renouncing all his former political principles, inva-
riably acted upon under the patronage of Bishop Barring-
ton, the first moment an Administration professed not to
act upon them.
A Clergyman present returned thanks in the name of
the Bishop, curiously observing,, that his Rev. Brethren
then in the hall attended, not for the grub they could get,
but for the pleasure they felt in the society'Of the Mayor.
The ball in the evening was well attended by the ladies,
among whom was Lady Ann Coke, the grace and orna-
ment of the female circle, in her charming blue hat and
feathers.

LITERATURE.

A SERMON ON BARTHOLEMEW FAIR,

By the Rev. R. C. Dillon, M.A., Author of the " Lord
Mayor's Voyage to Oxford."—London, 1830.
Most of our readers must remember—how is

it possible they could forget it ?—a celebrated
production, entitled " The Lord Mayor's
Voyage of Discovery to Oxford," in which
the gastronomic capabilities of his Lordship
(Venables), the majestic deportment of his
coachman, and his coach horses, the simpering
urbanity of the Lady Mayoress, and the no less
simpering condescension of her lady's maid, were
tmited with hiitoric dignity, and with a miaute-
ness absolutely without parallel. it gives us
pleasure to state that the author of that immortal
chef d'ceuvre, is the author likewise of the
Sermon before us, and that both works display
traces of the same master-spirit. The Journal
of the Lord Mayor's Voyage is fairly matched
by the Sermon on Bartholomew Fair : both
evince an equal abundance of civic fancy ; the
pathos of both is equally I, rich and rare ;" the
wisdom is equal ; the logic is equal ; though

in point of style, the Sermon is incontestably
superior to the 'Voyage. Mr. Dillon is the very
beau-ideal of a Cockney genius. His fancy
flourishes only within the gates of Temple-bar.
The Lord Mayor is to him more than a King :
he derives inspiration from the sight of an Alder-
man ; shudders with awe at the man in armour ;
glows with chivalrous ardour at a review of the
City Light Horse (so called from each man in
the troop weighing the best part of a tun), and
is literally petrified at the wonders, the splen-

dours, and the iniquities of—Bartholemew Fair.
The pamphlet before us is an exposition of the
various abominations practised at this Cockney
carnival. With consummate good taste, Mr.
Dillon addresses it to the young ladies and
gentlemen who attend Charlotte Chapel, Pimlico;
of course, under the idea that they are regular
frequenters of this fair. Nothing can be more
complimentary than such a supposition. The
inhabitants of Belgrave-square in particular must

look on it as highly flattering to their gentility.

The Rev. Gentleman sets out on his Discourse
with earnestly beseeching the patience and atten-
tion of his congregation, and then in lofty lan-
guage proceeds to remark bow much it was his
duty "to burst the fetters of timidity and
preach," well aware that it requires an extraor-
dinary effort of courage to rail against showmen
and holiday folks ! Having with some difficulty
burst these fetters, he steps boldly forth in the
following sonorous style :
" There are occasions when this dangerous world is
even made more dangerous, when the disobedient and re•
hellions subjects of God countennuce and strengthen one
another in the ways of sin--draw their destructive forces
to one common arena—and transgress in troops and
bands. Then it is' that the Christian Watchman is
to sound the alarm of impending danger."
Unfortunately, like most watchmen, Mr.
Dillon's alarm is somewhat of the drowsiest, and
will we fear have but little effect on those
" troops and bands who draw their destructive
forces to the common arena" of Smithfield.
Nevertheless, the Rev. Gentleman has a fine
taste for a grievance,
.snuffs danger with the
keen nose of a pointer, sees an image of Tophet
in Bartholomew Fair, and another. of Antichrist
in Richardson's head showman. " But" he adds,
" The mischiefs of the Fair do not terminate with the
Fair itself. No sooner is it over, than the inundation of
iniquity fulls back in all directions, and overlie** our
streets.'
Indeed ! What an awful idea, and how
sublimely expressed l Think of an " inunda-
tion of iniquity," consisting of servant-maids
and smart apprentices falling back in all direc-
tions on their road from Bartliolomew,,Fair
The watch-houses should look to it. The So-
ciety for the Suppression of Vice should take it
in handr or most assuredly the -morals of the
city will be drowned in this fearful inundation.
The Preacher, goes os►. to acquaint us with an
affecting anecdote, which he read some time
since, in 'the Papers, of a servant girl, vho
having staid out late at the fair, allured by the

graceful small talk of her sweetheart, with whom,
it seems, she " kept company," was in conse-
quence dismissed -from her situation, and died
of hunger in a " backward garret." The up-
shot of the tale is cutting in the extreme. We
have wept thrice at its perusal.
" The naisguided kindness of her mistress gave thiti
young girl permission to accompany a young man to this
fair. lie turned out to be one of those faithless Wretches
,rho crowd round innocence and beauty with professions
md flatteries, and with no other hope than fur some op•
portunity to beguile and destroy—and the►e (where?)
was this poor gill smitten by one of those dreadful, but
not unfrequent, strokes of calamity which scathe and
scorch the soul, penetrate to the vital seat of happiness,
and blast it, never again to put forth bud and blossom."

What exceeding pathos ! Unluckily, however,
for the Preacher's originality, it is not his own.
In the first volume of that delightful work, the
Sketch-hook," in the tale of the Broken Heart,

occurs the very sentence which Mr. Dillon de-
livered, no doubt, with weeping eyes from the
pulpit. " There arc some strokes of calamity

. .
which scathe and scorch the soul, penetrate to
the vital seat of happiness and blast it, never

again to put forth bud or blossom,' Again :

" The particulars of her after story may be easily con-
jectured. She returned to her place no more. The arms
of her betrayer were no longer open to receive her. She
wandered away not knowing whither; unacquainted with
the usual expedients of misery; afraid to meet .one eye
that had seen her before, and seeking like the poor stricken
deer, to weep in loneliness and silence, and brood over
the barbed arrow that rankled in her soul. lier sufferings
were however short, as they were severe. Dry sorrow
soon drunk up her blood."

What reader, with the slightest pretensions to
bowels, but must weep over this affecting love-

tale ! How unfortunate, then, that it should
be told in the very language of Mr. Washing-
ton Irving's 4 4 Pride of the Village." In the
second volume of the " Sketch-book," this gen-
tleman has told us of a poor deserted village
girl, who "returned to her place no more. The
arms of her betrayer were no longer open to re-
ceive her. She wandered away, not knowing
whither ; seeking, like the poor stricken deer, to
weep in loneliness and silence, and brood over

the barbed arrow that rankled in her soul." We
regret that an author of such brilliant originality
as Mr. Dillon, who can detect sentiment in the
face of a Lord Mayor, dignity in his coach-
horses, and an " inundation of iniquity" in a few
livelyservant lads and lasses, returning home with
pockets full of gingerbread nuts and keepsakes,
from Bartlemy Fair, should condescend to bor-
row ideas from Mr. Irving ! Mr. Dillon winds
up his tragedy with a word of advice to young
women, scores of whom, he says,

" Are known at this disastrous season to cut away the
anchor of their virtue, and after struggling for a while
with the encroaching waters, are at last overwhelmed in
the gulph of destruction."
We are far from curious, but we must con.
fess there is something in this picture that won-
drously tickles our fancy. We would give
worlds, to see 'a young woman in the act of

cutting away the anchor of her virtue !" The
spectacle, as a curiosity, must be edifying ; as
an anatomical process, original; and, as a sub-
ject for pictorial illustration, well worthy the
pencil of Cruikshank. To resume—After as-
suring us that "in that awful day, when the
whole universe shall stand at God's judgment
bar, multitudes will be found to trace up all
their misery to this unhallowed source of enter-
