France^ . A Scene Took Place In The'asse...
FRANCE _^ . A scene took place in the'Assembly on Saturday Which recalled some of the most tumultuous reminiscences of the constituent . It appears that among the many lotteries which are just now the rage in Paris , there is one called the L ' ingots d'Or from the chief prizes being large ingots of pure gold . The object of this lottery , which is under tbe direct patronage of the government , is the promotion of emigration to California , and-the schome having been puffed in every direction , tickets enou _gh were sold soon after the first promulgation to send out the first batch of emigrants . The ship was to have sailed in November , but no departure
took-place , and owing to the delay the unfortunate emigrants to have been almost reduced to starvation Under these circumstances , M . Pascal Duprat , ou Saturday questioned the government as to its connexion with this scheme . M . Baroche , the Minister of the Interior , gave a very equivocating answer , saying government bad merely countenanced ana » ot supported the lottery in question . A very noisy discussion followed , iri whicb M . Denjoy moved that the Assembly pass to the ordfr of the day without expressing any opinion on the Question , whicb is equivalent to a vote of confi-4 ence . i n _goverament . This was rejected by a maj _* _jty _3 fc _£ 1 426 agaiust 192 votes ,, whereupon M _Baroehedeclarfid be would _resian .
- The whole Assembly was thrown mto the utmost confusion , and the majority , hurried from their places , rushed to the bench where _^ M _^ Baroche was si ' _Hing , and protested earnestly " and ; h . umb _^ that there was intended nothing of a hostile , character against him in the resolution that bad been adopted ; and when the Minister frankly declared his incredulity in those hollow professions , wrung from them by the . danger of a retreat , each vied with the other in-inventing a remedy for the evil tbey bad comnjUtedi- _' It is stated that not less than forty orders of the day , each having for their object to nullify tbe effect of the rejection of the order of the day pure et simple , were successively proposed . That of M . Delessert was entirely lost sight of : This undignified hurry to undo their own work was a source of much amusement to the Mountain , who scoffed and laughed at the terror of the majority .
For nearly half- an hour all the members were shouting together in the hope of obtaining a bearing and personalities aud abuse were bandied about in the most lavish manner . In the height of the storm , M : Emila de Girardin ascended the tribune , and having obtained a momentary _gilence , proposed _, the ,. following motion : — 'The majSri £ _*| isatisfied _^ pa 8 * _se 3 to the order of the day . ' This . the _* AssemHy thought was an evident and . flagrant outrair ' on the dignity of the whole Assembly , y _& that " nothing" less , than the personal and imni £ _* , ate * * _lauWofits daring author seemed like ? PP ease the tumult . ' ¦ - ' ' ¦ ¦ ' -. s
The President said that ,: _JI _^ Girardin had deposited . his order _oXtho _/ 1 ' _^ 11 tbe table , but that i : hai _^* _* _^^* _^ F ' _* _* ° _*^ n , m t 0 reuecl _^ - . _ifrwnseo aeHces ;" _Tle persisted , and as it con' ; _j _£ dau _* in'iult to the majority , he would consult . _^ Assembly . _^ M . de Girardin said that his order of the day was perfectly serious ; that a similar order of the day was adopted in July , 1847 , and that six months afterwards a revolution took place . ( Loud murmurs , and cries of- 'The forged message /) : M . de _girardin , in reply , said that the journal which had pnblisbed the message had not invented it , and that it was a bona fide a message of the President of : the Republic . ( Cries of ' Shame , shame 1 ' on the ' right . )
The President then consultea the Assembly , and M . de Girardin ' s exclusion during three days , with censure , was pronounced by a considerable majority . Much agitation ensued , and 11 . Emile de Girardin left the bail . Ultimately-the following order of the day motive , proposed by AL _| £ erdrel , was _agreed to by a majority of 375 to 292 : — ' 'The National Assembly , confiding in ihe solicitude of the government , passes to the order of the day . ' This decision overturns the former one , end converts the ministerial defeat into a victory , by tbe cowardice of the majority . The prefects of tbe departments have been instructed to watch tbe proceedings cf the foreign refugees . "
The interment of a democrat of the Croix Rousse ( Lyons ) took place on Monday . It was attended by 400 / brothers and friends , ' and passed eff with the greatest order . There was not the slightest cry in favour of any particular form of government . Otherwise Lyons continued up to yesterday to enjoy tbe profPnndest calm . We extract the following from tbe ' Conslitutionnel , ' which guaranteesits authenticity : —* A country lad , named Jean , residing in the house of a landed proprietor at Auteuil , was sent about a week back to Paris on a message . Whilst looking at some prints on the Place de la Bourse , a man accosted him , praisinz his taste for the fine arts , & c . Soon after
he inquired where he resided , which Jean very s'mply informed bim , and tbe stranger declared that he was himself going out to Auteuil . and would give him a lift , if he liked ; in the hsckney coach which _lEust _bs taken for the purpose . The servant giadly accented the offer , and the pair went on very pleasantly until the vehicle arrived at the end of the Rue de Rivoli , when the stranger , unbuttoning his coat , showed a _tri-coloured _scirf , and declared that he ¦ was a police agent , and tbat bis duty was to arrest the other for being in the midst of a crowd of bad characters on the Place de la Bourse . Jean was exceedingly alarmed , and protested his innocence so strongly that tbe agent agreed to let him go , provided he paid the amount of the reward to which each police agent was entitled , he said , for arresting a bad character . Jean handed over bis watch and
whatever money he had about him , and returned heme . The next day he wa 3 sent into Paris to call at a painter ' s for a portrait , and was just on the point of returning home , when a stranger accosted nim , and stated that he was the fellow-agent of the man who had arrested him , and ought to bave bad half the reward ; that he must still arrest him , unless he ( Jean ) made it worth hia while to refrain . Jean , in great alarm , gave him 20 f ., and a breast-pin . Three day ' s after the two agents called on Jean at his master ' s , and informed bim that all had been discovered by the prefect of police , and that they wished to fly to avoid punishment . 11 thev did not they would ba arrested , and must then in self-defence disclose whom they had taken up . Stiil , if they had 200 / . they would prefer going off . Jean hurried over to the baker who supplied the family , and . borrowed from him for his master 200 f . This
Bum he handed to the two nvn , who immediately made off . As to himself , totally overcome by so many emotions , on his return home he fell down in a fit , and en his recovering _liis senses stated what occurred . Informations were immediately lodged , hut nothing ba 3 yet been discovered of the two pretended agchts . ' The publisher -of the -new Republican journal , Le Vole Universel , ' wa 3 yesterday tried for an attack on the right of _proparty , contained in two articles published in that journal about a month ago . Oa the first he was acquitted , but on the second he was found Guilty , and sentenced to six . months' imprisonment and a fine of G . OOOf . ,
Tne ' _Constitutio ' nnel announces tbat the Minister of the Interior -has written a letter to . the President of the Assembly , suggesting tbat M . Yon ought to be removed from the situation of Commissary of Police at the Palace of the Assembly , and that M . Dupin has merely replied that he ha 3 referred the letter to the _quaestors . It is probable that this affair will lead to a fresh skirmish between the Minister and the Assembly . Tbe ' Bulletin de Paris' says that , in consequence of the appearance af M . Mazzini in tbe neighbourhood of _Geneva , the Swiss Government is _determiiisd to expel tbe chief refugee * . The Bulletin de Paris' is published under the auspices of this Elysee . The following is a specimen of the information with which it treats its readers . The ' Bulletin ' of to-day says : —
'If we are to believe the correspondence which we receive from _Switzerland , the Roman ex-triumvir has contributed a great dea _$ h _* _- . the aid ol intelligent agents , ia exciting the religious movement in England against the government oT the Holy Father .

France^ . A Scene Took Place In The'asse...
for the ex-minister . Baron Poerio , and the others lesser periods in irons . Tbe court is now occupied in hearing the defence ; we must yet wait for the ultimate decision of the judges :, it . is generally supposed that npnevwill be liberated ; " indeed , it would be inconsistent with the ' policy of the government to do so , the object' being , to intimidate and imprisou all who . are conspicuous for their constitutional opinions _, v v ¦/ ' _.- ¦ ' ' The correspondent of the' Daily News' says : •—' It may not be uninteresting to . Englishmen at the present moment _, to learn the views of the Roman chHrch , touching popular right ; and' as papacy boasts of ' uniformity , ' it will be seen in the _fallowing quotation from a series of little books just published by the Jesuits what are the Roman
Catholic views of the constitutional government in general , and their morality as regards royal _oatbB . I find the following dialogue in tbe . ' Catechismo Filosofico , ' uuder the heading , _« Constitution : ' * If the people have imposed certain obligations and certain reserve on the sovereign power , shall not such obligations form the constitution and the law of the Btate ? They shall , if the sovereign has accorded tVc-m ir ' : i .. otherwise ihey are not binding , because the pe _^¦ % _? who were made to obey , and not to command , _camitf impose a law en the sovereign , who does not _reS- _'e his power from tbe people , but from Gid . A prince having accepted and sanctioned the _constitr _^ _o" * or tbe fundamental
law of the state , and bavir ? promised and _Bworn to observe it , is he obliged V ° maintain- his promise , and respect those laws _ar _' a" that constitution ?—lie is obliged to do so if i _^ _flpes not . injure his sovereignty , and offend th / universal : good of the state . Why do . you " not _jbink a prince is obliged to . observe the constitu > when even it offends the _soVeVeign power ?—We \* ve already agreed that the supreme _jtower 0 f _^ t' _« sovereign comes from God for theVof of : socK . « i and this power , _acceded and imposed -hyiw . . should be maintained inviolate and entire , > _fc ' ni ? i cannot be lessened by roan without offendine $ » ws ° f * _*» lure and Geo * _, although then the p _£ p le' bave ii » pMei . an agreement which injure 8 / ne < so _* erei 8 n ty-an . ( l although
the prince has proirjM' to observe it—that promise is an absurdity _.--tp P ° _m' _* e is not valid , and the prince is not obM _** to observe a constitution which contrasts with r _* decrees of God ; but be should maintain _p- , _;* _= the supreme power imposed on the prince _bP ' _^ od * ¦ • * ' Where any doubt arises tl _* head of ihe church is by God authorised to _STi _*' _- _* ' * fte oath , and relieve the conscience of a r _,.. iwe . believing the church has just reason for Joing so . ' Whilst Rome is endeavouring to plant her power in the very heart of Protestant and free England , surely it is well to let Englishmen know what they might expect from a triumph of papacy , which boldly tells you she has only one policy end one faith—craft and falsehood when weak- —the
inquisition and tyranny when strong . It is from quotations such as these , and the events which are talcing place in Italy , that the real spirit of papacy can be gathered , and riot from the coquetting sentimentality of papacy in England , whose victims are either dupes or hypocrites .
_¦< - LOMBARDY . A letter from Milan of the 16 th inst . announces that from the 1 st of January next there are to be no longer any foreign Consuls or Ministers of foreign powers resident in that city . ... : ' SARDINIA . The Senate of Piedmont , in its sitting of the 16 th inst ., passed the bill abolishing the laws on primogeniture by a majority of _thirfy-four votes to nineteen .
ROME . .. _-.-. ' . - We regret , says the . ' Journal _desDebats , ' to have to announce new . and strange vexations directed against the Jens of Rome by the pontifical government . A letter , which ; we have this day received , dated Rome , December 12 th , _informsusthat one of the most respectable members of the _Fsrealitish community . M . Tagliacozzo , saw on the , 5 th bis bouse invaded by the agents ' of police , and was nearly , being dragged off to prison as guilty , for having received into his houje a poor Christian woman , aged fifty , without _resource , ; aud whom he had employed to get up tbe linen of 'he family . M . Tagliacozzo
only escaped the humiliation and suffering of the prison by the devotion of his son , whpeonstituted himself prisoner in the room of his father , and has been condemned to avicarious imprisonment often days , On the intervention of the chiefs of the fsrealitish community . ( M . Tagliacozza himself is a member of the consistory ) , the . Cardinal Vicar has deigned to reduce the duration of the imprisonment endured by . the son in place of his father , aud on the 11 th M . Tagliacozzo was set at liberty . Such are the facts as tbey are communicated to us , and which need no long commentary that the public may form a just judgment of their value .
GERMANY . The rnmonr of certain-secret stipulations , wbicb were said to be appended to the Olmutz treaty , recurs again in the B _.-eslaner _Zsitung . ' That paper states that tbe secret stipulations . of tbat treaty carry out the _leadingideasof tbeRussian policy in Western Europe , and tbat one of those secret art . c _" es guarantees to tbe Court of Berlin the diplomatic and oilier support of Germany and the _Northern _States-against Switzerland , and eventually against the French Republic , for the purpose of sgain subjecting the principalityof Neufchatel to the dominion of the Prussian Crown .
The late rumours of a league between the smaller States of the north of Germany are again repeated by the ' _Niederhsacbs'sche' find * Kolner Zeitung , ' which state that there can be no doubt but that preliminary negotiation s have taken place between Hanover , Oldenburgh , Bremen , - and Schaumburg respecting a joint advocacy of their common interrsts at tbe Dresden conference and elsewhere . , ' The German journals are filled with the most contradictory conjectures relative to the attitude tbat will be assumed respectively by Austria and Prussia at the Conferences , which were to have opened on the 23 rd at Dresden . - ; Apartments had been prepared in the Royal Palace for Prince Schwarzenberg and Baron Manteuffel , who will attend in person . It is scarcely to be presumed that any decisions will be taken until after the Christmas holidays .
The correspondent of tbe . 'Daily News' says'Herr von Manteuffel leaves Berlin for Dresden on Sunday morning , and it is understood tbat the conferences are to commence on Monday . Manteuffel will , most probably , remain some time in Dresden , and , if there appears any probability of his carrying his plans , will remain until the end . It is very wise on the part of the minister , for it sets aside , the possibility of other influences interfering in his absence . The public , or at least the small portion , who think at all on the subject , look . forward to the aoproaching conferences with anvlbing but
hope . _Mogt of them consider that the differences between the respective parties will be so great that all hope of any liberal or time-serving alteration in the constitution of the Bund will be destroyed , and that the conferences will terminate in tbe restoration of the Bundestag in its former character . Nobody knows what the exact details of Manteuffel ' _s plans are , nor what kind of an . arrangement was come to at Olmulz between him and Schwarzenberg , and therefore it is idle to speculate ; but it cannot be denied that experience condemns hope and justifies fear in tbe minds of all liberal men ..
HESSE CASSEL . A letter from Ca 6 sel says : —• The majority of the judges of Marburg , we learn , have been forced by the rigorous measures adopted against them , to choose _betwee . n their duty and their means of existence , and have preferred the latter . They have _rescued their offices .. Thus has tbe state been robbed again , by these atrocious proceedings at Rothenburg and at Marburg , of fourteen of its most faithful and able judges . We could bave wished that these men had not yielded , but bad removed with their families to some other place , and stood ont to rth ~ e last , so that _Hassenpflug would not have been able to 01 ! their posts with tools of his own . We . nowseelhe moment at hand when the last of our judges true to their oaths and the _constitution will be driven from our courts of justice , and _. _HasBenpflug aiid his associates will he empowered to pervert all laws to their
ownpurpoBeB . A paragraph under date from _Thurlngta , Dec . 16 , says j—' General Grbben has , with his whole staff _, made a wide circuitous movement in retreat with his while staff , through . Eisenach and Magdeburg , towards Paderborn . Well-informed , persons say that the _object of this movemet is to avoid any possible collision with the Bavarian trpop 3 who now occupy Hesse nearly up to'i _^ s Westphalian boundaries ' . ' From Hauau , of the 16 th , we learn tbat the Elector has conferred decorations oh all the officers who did not resign their commissions ui' consequence of the Hassenpflug ordinances .
BRUNSWICK . f A letter from Brunswiek , of Dec . 14 , states : — In the sitting of the Assembly of Deputies to-day M . Hollandt proposed : ' Tbat the government should be earnestly 6 WW ,-firet , to lay before the next

diet the project of a law for the revision of the constitution ; _Becond _. ihat it should express its conviction that the government holding fast to constitutional principles , should , in , tbe anticipation of . the approaching free .- Conferences , give , its consent to none of the contemplated rules for changing the constitutions of the German States ; and in any case should—thirdly , protest against the ' admissibility . of such rules , and against their influence on our own constitution . — 'Zeitung' for North Germany . - The ' C onstitutionnell Zeitung' states that General Penckar , the Prussian Commissioner , has received instructions , to let tbe Austrian troops proceed to measures of compulsion if tbe inhabitants of Cassel persist , in . refusing to' make their peace with ; the Elector .
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . . Information received from Rendsbarg and Kiel , which is worthy of credit , states tbat measures have been concerted between the Stadtholderate and the general now commanding its forces for a vigorous attack . upon the Danish lines , to be undertaken within the next week at latest . The Danes are keeping themselves on tbe alert , and are actively watching the . sundry movements of the Schleswig-Holstein troops in the lines of operations . ¦ ! .
On the morning of the 20 th inst . the Danish _Jagers surprised one of the most advanced _poits at Marientbal , occupied by a company of eight battalions of infantry , who , favoured by a fog , advanced within ten paces of the Holstein troops , and succeeded in killing two of the pickets and taking five prisoners , with a quantity of firearms and accoutrements , which the others were compelled to abandon ., : Considerable inattention seems to be paid by'the Holstein army to their . outposts . _;
Accounts from Hamburg state tbat the Danes have thrown a bridge over the Schlei aft Cappein ) west of _Missunde , which is being strongly j entrenched . The works will be defended by heavy artillery , spas to make any passage of the Schlei at this point impossible . A private soldier , who some time since shot an officer on parade in front of the lines is to be tried by court martial at _Rendsburg . The victim of this act of revenge was Lieutenant Khron , son of the Minister of War ofthe Stathalterschaft . A deserter has been tried and condemned to death , but the sentence has not yet been confirmed .
A strict inquiry is being carried on against tbe persons _charged with insulting General .. _WjH'sen at the railway station at Neumunster , as he was on his way from Rendsburg to Hamburg after giving up the command of the Holstein army .
AUSTRIA . : ; " .. . ! The Vienna Gazette , ' of the 14 th , contains a memorial , signed by the ministers , recommending the extension of the government monopoly of tobacco into Hungary , Transylvania , Croatia , Sclavonia _^ Servia , and the _fianat- _; and also a royal decree in which'the Emperor gives to this recommendation the force of law . The main ground alleged for this innovation , which follows close upon a similar extension of the salt monopoly , is the necessity of giving unity . to tbe fiscal system of the empire ' . It is said that Austria proposes to insist at the Dresden Conferences upon the admission of all her provinces { Gesammtstaaien ) into the German Bund . ' - ¦ ¦¦;¦¦ '
The Minister of the Interior and the Common Council of Vienna have been at loggerheads . According to paragraph thirty-five of the Corporate Laws no employes could become members ¦ . of- the Municipal Council . M . de . Czapka , who , as Burgomaster of Vienna , was obliged in 1848 to _ seek safety in flight , having been recently elected a Common Councilman , his brethren refused to admit , him on the plea of his being a pensioned servant of the State . A Cabinet Council has decided that actual employes , and not pensioners , were meant . This is a great triumph for the retrograde parly ,, as the gentleman in question is an . Ultra-Conservative . ' - ¦ - ;
The sentences on the unfortunate members of the 1 _Slovanaka Lipa' and = _l'Marcomannen' -clubs , who were arrested at Prague in May 1849 , have not yet been published , but it is said , that four are condemned to death , and the others'to ten years'im . prisonment . You will probably recollect that the notorious Bakunin was mixed up in this affair . .-
PORTUGAL . • - ¦¦ -Much interest'has been at last excited by the preparations for the approaching Exhibition in London , and it seems to" be viewed in its proper light'a 9 an opportunity of displaying _^ jt |[ _e" _^ progress of industry and art iu Portugal to the rest of the world . , Conscious of their inferiority L in : many respects , tbey still think tbat it would be more , shameful , to shrink from a trial than to be considered unequal to other competitors . -The committee , recently appointed , has been busily engaged in drawing up reports on tbe subject , and tbe government will name a deputation , irrespective of political partisanship , to accompany the specimens of manufactures and , works of art ,, . which will be conveyed at the public _exnense . at the end of March ,
! SPAIN : _There'is a rumour afloat that the Queen is again in an interesting state . The countermanding of a ball which was to have , been given at tbe palace seeni 9 to have led to the report .
SWITZERLAND . ' The National Council ' of Switzerland , in the sitting of the 13 th . voted 6 , 000 f . for the expense ! of the Exhibition of London .
POLAND . . Letters from the Polish frontier of Prussia state that the reportr of concentrations of Russians on the frontier between Silesia and . Poland are well founded . In thei middle of the present month Russian columns _appeared without previous notice in the Polish towns near tbe Silesian frontier , which were immediately distributed among the . villages along the- boundary line . The troops consist of lancers and . infantry . Th _, e . town of _Czenstochau is crowded with them , yet itis not known whence they have come or whither they are going . All- the horses and waggons of the border - . country are pressed for the service of the army . The Polish inhabitants have to lodge and feed tbe troops without repayment , and do not look on them as welcome guests .
RUSSIA . The conspiracy is reported to have been discovered in Southern Russia , and a number of officers belonging to various regiments of the military colonies have been arrested ; others have succeeded in making their escape , and have fled into Asia , or to ' _thi-Caucasus . In connexion with this ' affair is ; the errand of Baron Von _Osten-Sachen _^ ' adjutant ; . ' p ' f Prince Paskewitch , to Constantinople , where he has been sent to keep a strict watch on the proceedings of the political refugees in that city ,. and to ascertain whether any ofthe deserted : > officers are concealed there .. . .
The Berlin Wehr Zeitung' publishes a detailed account of the Russian army , from which it appears that the army consists of 17 corps to 107 military administrative districts . . They are divided , and subdivided into , 74 divisions , 24 H brigades , 322 regiments , 889 battalions , 32 b i batteries , l , 4 C 9 t _escadrons . 4 , 900 , companies , with 18 arsenals , 7 military factories , and 50 } artillery parks .
BOSNIA . By a telegraphic despatch , by Vienna , it is reported that the troops of the . Seraskier have entered victorious into Tnz ) a . _Mcsiar was in a state of insurrection it bad sent a deputation to tbe Seraskier offering to submit , but with the condition that all tbe Turkish authorities should be displaced . ¦
•¦•¦• TURKEY . The Hungarian Refuobes . —The '• Goraer olaki' announces that the affair of the Hungarian refugees has been finally arranged—America has offered them an asylum which they have accepted , and has undertaken to provide for their wants ; the Ottoman Government pays their expenses so Liverpool , and the English Government their . expenses from tbencciio America . The arrangement was proposed by the Ottoman Government and acceded to by England and America .
IONIAN ISLANDS . The' National' publishes a letter from tbe Ionian Islands , dated the 8 th inst , announcing tbat the Lord High Commissioner had been again obliged to prorogue the House of Representatives , in order to prevent the adoption oi the following seditious decree by the Assembly : — 'Whereas , the independence , sovereignty , and _natonahty of every people are natural and- imprescriptible ri ghts- r _Vnr'J _?

Another large Importation of . gold dust has been received at New ; York from . California by tbe steamship Georgia . . The . amount received amounted to » _wo-and-a-haif . million of dollars ; and _one-and ahalf million dollars were on the way in the steamer Cherokee . ¦! - ¦ ¦ ¦ - - ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ - . > ¦ _"• : ) The brig Union has arrived at New Orleans , with 200 , 0 . 00 dols . of gpld in freight and 160 passengers fr <> m Vera Cruz . . We regret to state that the . advices . per . the Georgia , as far . as relates to th e health of the mining and other population , are very . unfavourable . The cholera had not abated its virulence . Tbe number of deaths in Sacramento city for the week ending October 26 th was ninety . This was considered a large mortality , in proportion to the amount of population .
The steam-ship Sagamore had burst her boiler at San Francisco , causing a loss of seventy . five to 100 lives . ' ' A large hospital for the insane , at Augusta ( Maine ) , was destroyed by fire on the 4 th and at least twenty-eight of the lunatics perished in the flames . It is supposed that the' fire was occasioned by a defeet in the chimney . - Some of , the lunatics gave the alarm _as . soon as . the fire .. was discovered , but the keepers , supposing the noise to . be the accustomed ravings , gave no heed to them until they discovered that the building was filling with * _siribke . With but few ; exceptions , all those lost were , incurable . "• and it is believed that _most . of them died from suffocation . It is estimated that the damage done to the
hospital , can , be . repaired for " 50 , 000 dollars . The entire building , and seven others , were destroyed . ' Those who perished-were all males . Those in the female ,, galleries . were all saved . Much difficulty was experienced in removing the insane , some of whom had tobe forced out ofthe building .

_ChAUACTERS . OF THE ENGLISH , ' Inisn , AND Scotch . —Looking at the population , of the three kingdoms , it may easily be perceived that there is a considerable difference amongst them , with respect to temperament . The Irish arc gay , ' ardent ; the Scotch lire comparatively cool , steady , and Cautious j the English are , perhaps , a fair average between the two . I remember it was not inelegantly observed by a friend of mine ; that aii _Ehglisljman thinks and speaks ; -a Scotchman thinks twice before he speaks ; and an Irishman speaks before he thinks . . A lady present added , " A Scotchman thinks with his head ' ; an Irishmanwith his heart . " This allusion to impulse operating more' rapidly than deliberation , is akin to Miss _Edijeworth ' s remarks , that an Irishman may err with his head , never with bis heart ; the truth , however , being that he " obeys" his heart , not always waiting for the dictates of bis head .
Some years ago there was a caricature , very graphically portraying these grades of difference in the 8 _rdoiir of the three nations . " An _iEnglishman , an Irishman , and a Scotchman were represented as looking through a confectioner ' s window at a beaU ; tiful young woman serving in the shop ; ¦ " Obi !" exclaims Mr . Patrick _^ " do let . us be after spending x half-a-crown with tl _^ e dear crayture , that we may look at her conyaniently ; and have _a'bit of chat with her . "— "You extravagant ' . dog ! " say s Mr . George , " I ' m sure one-half the money'Will do quite as well But let us go in b y all ; means j she ' s a charming girl . "— ' " Ah | wait , a wee ! ' * interposed Mr . Andrew ; " dinna yp ken it'll serve our purpose equally weel just to ask the bonnie lassie to gieustwa sixpences for a shilling , and 'inquire where ' s Mr . Toompson ' _a hoose , and sic like ? We ' re no hungry , and may as well save the siller . "—Smith ' s Irish Diamonds . .
