"A frigate with a life-like bust of Queen Caroline as figurehead runs down a similar vessel with a huge and grotesque head of George IV. The latter heels over and is about to be swamped; the King's head looks up in terror at the complacent features of his wife bearing down upon it. The head is further threatened by the jaws, bristling with teeth, of two whales in the foreground. On the level deck of the 'Queen Caroline' stand Brougham, holding a broom, and Denman, both in wig and gown and holding a document inscribed 'Defence'. Behind them is (?) Lushington (not characterized); more prominent is Wood, in a court-suit, holding a pole supporting a block of wood inscribed 'A Chump' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13899]. The other two are Burdett, holding out a paper inscribed 'Westminster', and his fellow member Hobhouse. The crew of the 'Royal George' are either in the water or falling from the mast-head among spars and ribbons of sails. Castlereagh and Wellington are in the sea; one says: "My fall has been Triangular" [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14135], the other: "Oh! this is worse then the Grape Shot at Waterloo." On top of them falls Sidmouth with his clyster-pipe; he vomits, &c., saying: "this will a cooling Draughts [sic] and purge our foul stomachs." Two green bags (see British Museum Satires No. 13735), inscribed 'Bag', fall into the water; just above them is Eldon, dropping the mace and the Purse of the Great Seal; he exclaims: "O my Wool sack." Liverpool falls head first, dropping a large purse and coins; he says: "This Pool goes against my Liver." By his toe is a paper: 'Tresury'. Sir John Leach, with a paper inscribed 'Milan' [see British Museum Satires No. 13755, &c.], also falls. Nearest the masthead is the Archbishop of Canterbury. Beside him, sirloin, bottle, plates, knife, &c., are falling. On a smaller scale is Majocchi, dandified, and exclaiming "Non mi recordo" [see British Museum Satires No. 13827]."--British Museum online catalogue
