CONTINENTAL CH A.lt AC fER.

A trial which bas just taken place in France
affords some curious and interesting reflections
for people who have theories on geographical
and climatic conditions as affecting the forma-
tion of character.. The story told before the
Court of Assizes of the Seine was a curious one,
and shows whit slight iucidents may be magni-
fied into a politicel "detnon3tration" against the
ruing powers in the gay capital of our neigh-
betties Ecros3 the Channel. Many of the inci-
dents deseribed in the evilence seem to an
English r !trier as elineet farcical ; and it is seso
strange to note that tne principal character con-
cerned in he off nce ie U woman wso has before
experieee.d puaishineut for participation in po-
Mice] nmetnuents. She is described as pos-
sessed of re.earkible talent, aud a kied and self-
sacrifieing spirit. Indeed thoee who know the
story of her strange life can tell scores of in.
stances before and during her experiences in
the French penal settlement which testify to the
400etness of her disposition, when it was iinpos-
sib:e that she could have been prompted by any
hope of obtaining praise, reward, or netoriety.
It is a matter of surprise to most Engliehmen
that there are p,ople who can calmly contem-
plate the prospect of a revolution and its uttend-
ant horrors; and still stranger that a general
and violent upheaval of society shou:d he ex-
pected ti bring about a seciel .uilletlium, to
banish poverty and hanger, and introduce a
reign of law and order, prosperity and peace.
But more wonderful still that any person with
pretensions to sanity can imagine th it carrying
a black flag in a procession would preeluce these
startling resulle. these are some of the things
which the ordinary Briton cannot underetsne ;
end it certainly is remarkable that tee ieterpo.
sition of the "silver streak" should tuark Earl' a
division between the thoughts and irethoils of
;.he two peoples. It is not as if the fotiy of the
mob in the present instance were the only exhi-
bition of this differenee of character in connee•
tion with this curious case. To the English
reader the punishment awarded seems altogether
disproportionate to the °Melee; but no doubt
the pubic iluthorities are not only dethrone of
showing their determination to repress disturb-
ance, and to vindicate the law ; but also to make
such an example of the agitators in this instance
as [trey have a deterrent effect on others. But
it is to be hop.d that a inure rational judgment
way s eue day prevail, although it is question-
able whether such a state of feeling willi ever
obtain among the French people as to permit
eleh an offence being mot in the English way
of a r.epritnand from a magistrate, with, perhaps
a saftsguaril in the shape of binding the delin-
quent over to be of good behaviour for so
many months. It is true that the pillaging of
bread shops and the waving of flags have been
incidents marking the commencement of all
the French revolutionary outbreaks, but there
are places in England where an election is rarely
conducted without a disturbance in which the
smashing of the windows of baker's shops form
part of the programme. But a punishment of
six or ten years imprisonment so far from pre-
venting such offences would only have the effect
of further exciting the popular mind, and pro-
bably initiating one of those agitations whiels
are seldom productive of the deliberate legisla-
tion which is the true remedy for all such ano-
malies.
