No. 5. Zodiacal satire on Daniel O'Connell and the Tories, with several human and animal figures, several with portrait heads, against a night sky; at centre the comet, with O'Connell's head, passes to left along a white line that traverses the design, tickling with the comet's tail the nose of 'Draco' (Wellington), having passed through the ears of 'Ursa Major' (Cumberland), at centre, and cut off the head of a demonic figure at far right, which, with a bishop reaching for 'tithes', represents Gemini ('The Twins Orangism'); at upper left, Libra, a hand holding the scales of 'Justice for Ireland', with England and Ireland balanced by 'Equal Laws &amp; Equal Rights', observed by an angry bishop ('Scorpio'); at lower centre, Cancer ('Crab Reform'). Other figures include 'Bootes' (Peel as ratcatcher - a reference to his "ratting on", i.e. deserting, in 1829 the Protestant stand against Catholic Emancipation); 'Virgo' (Queen Adelaide); 'Noctua Eld-n' (Eldon, an owl); 'Coma Vaux' (Brougham, a lesser comet); 'Leo Major' (King William); 'Leo minor / Vitto-ia' (the young Princess Victoria, William's heir); 'Ursa Minor Col Sib-pe' (Sibthorp, MP for Lincoln); 'Cepheus Newc-s-le' (Newcastle, with a scroll); 'Perseus Abinger' (Abinger, holding a sword and a wig); 'Camelopardatus / Westminster's Pride' (a giraffe); 'Auriga Lond-y' (Londonderry); 'Taurus'; 'Lynx Lynd-st' (Lyndhurst).  14 October 1835
