One rather unique foreign
pleasant one too, to our stock of
least of satisfaction, concerning Ind_
_from
the last place in the world the British public, if
they believed their instructors) would for anything
of the sort. Bombs, whom we so lately threatened
to bombard, has permitted an active canvass in his
dominions for subscriptions for British subjects in
India suffering from excesses such as he end his
subjects have been menaced with any time these
dozen years if the behests, not even of native, but
e alien Sepoys were not acted upon. It appealrs,
from the published lists, that both in Sicily and
Naples collections has been made, not only among
British subjects, of whom large numbers reside
there in peace and ease, notwithstanding our with-
drawal of all diplomatic representatives, but among
the natives ; and we read of Il Ducs. and Duchessa
di Santo Appino, 11 Manliest) • Biquano, Mine.
D'Ascoll, the Princess of Montevago, Ste.,
brtn,ling in their ducats, as though the calamity had
r..sulted from an eruption 2Etna or Vesuvius, at
their .own doors. What is probably more re-
markable still, considering the serious bigotry at-
. rib ated to the King, we read of handsome subscrip-
tions collected at the "Protestant Church in Palei-
tar)," in which locality, according to current report
hare, if a gentleman believing in the $9 Articles
wore caught he would be chopped into maccaroni.
Add to this, that all the British journals abusing
his Majesty, and a few British journals do any-
thing else, are permitted to be openly sold to whom-
seever pleases to buy, and the correspondents who
furnish the material are allowed to pursue their
;stations with what satisfaction to themseles they
can 'command, and it must be admitted that Beel-
zebub Bourbon isn't altogether so nigeriferously
back as he is painted.. Besides, his Majesty has
given another sample of magnanimity which some
of his crowned satirists would do well to imitate.
Although the Emperor, of the French, in common
withour own executive, has treated him with every
possible indignity, that has not prevented him
permitting such-of his subjects as are eligible from
receiving the new-fangliad order of St. Helena—
perhaps by way of a joke at the Muratist nia,sexie
wherewith the deadly-lively gentlemen of the Paris
press try to frighten him. Bomba, with all his
solemnity, is said to be a wag ; and there is no
r,ason why he shouldn't have a laugh in his royal
sleeve, at the way mankind are hoodwinked with
their eyes open, as well as the noble employer of
the Chevalier Wikoff, paid 5004 a year by the
British Treasury for keeping the peace of Europe
through the medium of Philadelphia newspapers !
Well for Gilbert A'Beckett he's dead. The real
Comic History is the grave history enacted by the
Comic Old Gentleman all over the globe—a his-
tory whereat one hardly knows whether to grin or
groan, and perhaps it doesn't much matter which :
—at least it won't 1.00 years hence, and that is all
the same as regards the British lion.—Liverpool
