THE ROYAL PAVILION,
BRIG HTON.

The reports which have gone forth to the public re-
specting. the sale and removal of the above palace of
royalty, to furnish the means to erect another royal re-
sidence in some other part of the kingdom, and the
alarm expressed by the inhabitants of Brighton on the
subject—the Pavilion being considered the key-stone
to its rise, importance, and fashion in society—have
called forth the following " Recollections," by a veteran
traveller:—
The Prince of Wales had scarcely attained his majo-
rity, and the dictation of tutors and restraint were at an
end, when he was invited by the Duke of Marlborough
(father to the present Duke) to pay him a visit at his
summer residence at Brighton, which might be then
considered in its obscurity. It had been recommended
by a celebrated physician of the name of Russell, who
said that coughs were not known amongst the inha-
bitants, and that their lungs were always in the soundest
state of health. Brighton otherwise was merely known
as the place which Charles 11. left in an open fishing-
boat to escape from Oliver Cromwell. The Prince of
Wales accepted the Duke's invitation, and was so de•
lighted with the situation of Brighton altogether, that
he resolved, without the slightest hesitation, to have a
residence there for himself, to resort to when convenient
to him.
On the spot of ground where the palace now stands,
originally was an old barn, with some wretched worn-
out stables attached to it, but by the aid of art, invention,
and taste, it was soon transformed into what was called
the Marine Pavilion, with a public lawn and promenade
before it, open on the south to the sea, and northwards
to the London-road. It was a circular building, with a
lofty dome, and completed in 1784. But in the course
of a few years. an alteration was proposed by Nash, the
architect, and it underwent a total change in appearance
altogether. A variety of opinions have been expressed
us to the look of the exterior of the palace ; but to de-
stroy the following suite of rooms, in the eyes of the
lovers of superior taste and refined elegance, would be
worse than sacrilege.
The Kitchen, if anything in the shape of a pun can be
excused, is a place of such superior taste that the eccen-
tric cook Weltzie, and his servants, were some time be-
fore they could reconcile themselves to it, thinking they
were in a drawing room instead of a kitchen ; the style
of it so dazzled them, having four large Chinese lamps,
one in each corner of it.
The Chinese Gallery, 162 feet in length, and 17 feet
wide, never failed to astonish all its visitors—praise and
admiration were loudly expressed at all times, on the
beauty it displayed.
The (5) Entrance Hall and Breakfast Room, were in
good keeping with the above unrivalled Gallery. But
The Dining, or Banqueting Room, out-heroded He-
rod. Sixty feet long, forty-two wide, and forty-five in
height ; the most fastidious critic was compelled, in
point of truth, to pronounce it faultless, and acknow-
ledge it as a specimen of what taste and ingenuity united
could produce to the enraptured eyes of the delighted
spectator. It was embellished with numerous Chinese
standards and other symbols, in the most rich and de-
corative style of the art.
The Green, or Ante-drawing Room could not be
passed over without admiration; it is fifty feet long, and
twenty wide. Indeed, it should seem that every part of
the Pavilion had been a subject of the greatest care and
attention, and that not the slightest charm was over-
looked.
The Saloon, fifty-three feet long, and thirty wide, is
another of those attractive features of elegance and
beauty, and brings the visitor almost to a stand still,
and completely lost in a reverie, at the magnificent ap-
pearance by which he is surrounded.
The Yellow Dining Room, fifty feet by twenty, is
likewise of that captivating character, that the gour-
mand for a short time might forget the luxurious repast
before him, and make more use of his eyes than his
knife and fork.

The Music Room, sixty-two feet long, forty-
two wide, and forty-one in height, and con•
sidered a rival to the banquetting-room ; and
spectators in general were puzzled to which to
give the preference. In fact, the music-room was the
delight of George IV., which he beheld, it is said, with
secret pride. The Chinese paintings exhibited in this
room surpassed everything of the kind, and the most
animated description of the glowing riches and splendour
displayed in the Arabian Nights' Entertainments did
not surpass it. The cap of Fortunatus seemed one of the
auxiliaries to produce thia room of enchantment.
The Staircases throughout the Pavilion are of the
most elaborate description ; and excite the greatest ob-
servation.
The windows also are most exquisitely painted.
The Organ, made by Lincoln, is the admiration of all
the musicians who ever heard its fine power and har-
monious execution.

Mirrors of the most costly description are seen in all
of the rooms in the Pavilion.

The Royal Stables, not to be equalled in Europe, have
surprised every person who entered them, for their ex-
tent, elegance, and comfort to the high-bred cattle which
reposed
under their shelter. The dome of the stables is
only twenty f•et less than the dome of St. Paul's
Cathedral. The stables are two hundred and fifty feet
in circumference, and fifty broad. There is also a riding-
house, and tennis court attached to them.
The Grounds are laid out in the best style of the pic-
turesque gardener's art, for the space allotted to them,
which were considerably increased some years ago, by
the " Promenacl,-; Grove" being purchased and added to
them. The Promenade Grove was opened after the
plan of Vauxhall Gardens, with Galas and Public
Breakfasts. It commenced under the patronage of the
Prince of Wales, and was well supported by all the no-
bility and gentry in Brighton, and for a few seasons was
carried on with great spirit. The Prince was often
usenebn,fimicinehnt,hgio;ei gardens as a private gentleman, enjoying
the

en
uopf
sßemrigehutornou, changed the entrar_ce of it, sad also
in order that the noise of the
carriages and different vehicles which were continually
passing the Pavilion might b.. prevented, and the leisure
moments of the Prince free from annoyance.
Upwards of forty years ago, buildings in various parts
of the town were erected with such rapidity that streets,
squares, steynes, hotels of the most extensive and mag-
nificent description, followed in such quick succession, that
it was the general opinion that Brighton would be
Overbuilt ; but at the present day, in every nook and
corner which can be turned to anything like account,
the builder is employing his capital without the least
fear or hesitation that it will be laid out unwisely, so
much has this fashionable watering-place pro-
gressed in the fashionable world. In truth, it is
entirely supported by visitors, and its own trade, no
manufactures being connected with Brighton. Seven
streets originally belonged to it ; now, upwards of a
hundred can be named. The inhabitants of the olden

time were 3,600, and at the present day more than
70,000. It might be termed the metropolis of Sussex,
for there is nothing like it in the whole county for bustle,
population, importance, and fashion, with one uninter-
terrupted drive for carriages along the side of the sea,
for nearly six miles in length.
Therefore, the mere idea of the destruction of the Pa-
vilion has caused great uneasiness to the oldest and
most respectable iahabitants, who have acquired for-
tunes in it, and who feel anxious that it should remain in
statu quo, as a monument or finger post, that whenever
any of them passed by the Pavilion it would remind
them of the obligation and patronage they had received
at all times from the Prince of Wales, afterwards George
the Fourth.

"Men's evil manners live in brass, their virtues we write
in water."
During the early period of the Prince of Wales, the
Brighton races exhibited one of the gayest features on
the Turf—distinguished for sporting, rank, beauty, and
fashion. Most of the companions of his Royal highness
drove " four-in-hand," producing pictures to look at for
high-bred cattle, and carriages of the first class for style.
The Prince, with " spirits gay," mounted the box, and
handled the ribbons and whip with all the talents of an
experienced charioteer, reminding the spectator of the
two lines of the late Charles Dibdin:—
" See the course throngs with gazers, the sports are begun,
Ten thousand strange noises, Sir !—' Done ! done I' "
The cell-brated Sir John Lade, whose exploits as the
first gentleman coachman in the kingdom, well known
for his driving to an inch, when at the utmost speed, was
seen on the Downs here to great advantage ; also the
thorough-bred, spirited, neck-or-nothing Mellish, either
to drive, ride, trot, run, or make matches on the spur of
the moment, to keep the game alive." Lord Paget, the
present Marquis of Anglesea, the late patriotic Duke of
Bedford, and a host of other noblemen who were in the
suite of the Prince, rendered the above races so ex-
tremely attractive, that the course was covered with per-
sons of the highest consequence, as well as the public in
general, giving great support to the town of Brighton,
which it has never experienced since, overflowing the
hotels, lodging-houses, and the Pavilion, the great ob-
ject of excitement, from the public characters under its
splendid roof. Sic transit gloria mundi !
It is admitted that the rooms in the Pavilion took the
lead over every other establishment in the kingdom be-
longing to the nobility and gentry ; it might also be said,
that the company who were visitors to the Prince of
Wales, and afterwards King, kept pace with them ; nay,
much more, and were richer in mind and value than all
the magnificent, golden-like embellishments, which
adorned the Palace ; and although the Prince might
have been fond of show and costly decoration, yet he
showed the true sort of taste and wisdom—when the
names of Sheridan, Charles Fox, Burke, Wyndham, &c.,
weighed down the scale of still life ornaments all
to nothing.
" When to stand a fourth bottle no longer I'm able,
(Excuse a fond tear, for the thought makes me sad),

May jolly dogs point to me under the table,
And say with a sigh, That's Torn Sheridan's dad.'"
In this mere sketch of the Pavilion, it would be impos-
sible to give half an outline of the "gay mortals," and
some of the highest gifted men in the kingdom, who
were the intimate companions of the Prince in the early
days of his hilarity; although such pieces of biography
might prove of a very interesting character.
Carlton Palace, the residence of the Prince when in
town, and fitted up in a style of magnificence unequalled
—where talent and art were stretched to the utmost of
invention, to attract, fascinate, nay, detain his Royal
Highness—and, notwithstanding the unparalleled pros-
pect and beauty of scenery which the venerable Castle
of Windsor afforded to the King, still the Pavilion was
his favourite place of retirement, and he never deserted
it throughout his reign.
William IV. was likewise fond of the above Palace,
and frequently made it his residence; and during one of
the winter seasons, four of the oldest Dukes on the list of
Peers, took up their abode at Brighton.
A variety of opinions and arguments have been ex-
pressed on the subject, but the general opinion of the
InhAbitauta appeu to be that it cannot be sold. For
