valued, by times, at a pin's fee, one is glad to see
order even at a high price; Pnd still more so to see
it at a small sacrifice. Noris France alone the gainer.
There is a terrible sympathy in the shedding of blood;
and not only men, but women, seem to lose the
tender feelings of humanity in the excitement
which ensues. The torch which was lighted in
France in 1789, kindled others in various nations
of Europe, and partly contributed to the Irish re-
bellion of 1798 ; and the shouts which welcome
Kossuth beyond the Atlantic at this hour, are
but the echoes of the vivas that introduced the
revolution of 1848. Whatever we may think of

Pottinger dinner in 1844, at which t*o gentlemen rose to
speak in reply to a toast of a local character, and one of
whom nearly lost the skirts of his coat. Now all this
