MONDAY MORNING

GYMNASTICS are the rage : feats of agility, surprising

contortions, and startling summersaults are furiously in

vogue.

At ASTLEY'S Amphitheatre, the Brothers

and do a vast number of incredible tricks, setting

and mechan

e of fellows, more

er defiance

e eels than men,

perform exploits on the double trapeze that will not bear
narration. Mountebanks and tumblers, and conjurors,
and jugglers of divers degrees of tistinction, abound in all

quarters. But of all the operators in jumping head over

heels and back again, in what the profession call " the
twinkling of abed• post," unquestionably the most success-
.

ful during this season has been thatvenerable senator, and
very fast old gentleman, the member for Montrose, famous
in sporting records under the name of the " Middlesex
Goose." Greased lightning is, 1 believe, pretty rapid in its
motions, but it is not fit to hold a candle to JOE HUME

when he exhibits one of his grand tours de force

conjuror who " could make black white" at any given mo-
ment, be has long been notorious ; but this week be has
achieved a more exalted renown, by a feat that baffles all
attempt at definition—by jumping out of his own skin and
back again—by suddenly turning his back upon him-
self, and as suddenly springing into his original posi-
tion. A few days ago, we were all astonished, and,
I may add, edified, by the spectacle of the ancient
leveller and arch-demagogue transmogrified unexpectedly
into a decent conservative, repeating his old " peccadil-
loes," recanting his past errors, forswearing his bad assn.
ciates, and giving promise of a life of amendment and
atonement. But hardly had we time to express gratifica-
tion at the blessed change which had come over the spirit
of his dream, when, heigh presto ! back jumped the old
sinner into his wicked ways, and the incorrigible JOE was
himself again. Truly the NESTOR of Reform is the
prince of mountebanks, and his gyrations round that piece
of jugglery the ballot-box, constitute the most consummate
exhibition of humbug, impudence, and play upon public
credulity ever attempted. The genius who can at once
deplore his whole life as one continued failure, and exult
in it as an uninterrupted success ; who can revile his com-
panions as knaves unworthy of credit, and give them his
unabated confidence and co-operation ; who can believe
in the absolute necessity of a principle, and quietly resign
that principle on "gentle persuasion" to the first solicitor,
is an extraordinary one. JOE HUME has proved himself
to be such a genius—a veritable political chameleon—an
animal whose shape, and colour, and consistency no man
can be sure of for a single instance. Well may the accom-
plished letter-writer declare, as he has done,—" I disclaim

the interpretation of anything I may have said or written."
Of course ; and this declaration literally translated may
be shortly written, " HUME. bug, thy name is HuME !"

For want of metal more attractive, the caterers for the
public entertainment have been forced to reproduce the
masque of " Convocation Revived, or Church and State
in Collision," which was last week voted by common
consent a dull invention—a flat, stale and unprofitable
conceit. It has however been brought out, adapted,
amended, curtailed, altered, and re-cooked in every con-

ceivable way by the cleverest playwrights of the metropolis,
