.4512R1C.:)ti Lti:;DoN.— American/ are to ba found to
the conncereial quarters of our world, but by no means in the
numbers they contribute to Liverpool,
.where they may be
found :it every evening party. As we do not in these papers
intend to inflict upon the reader descriptions of that which
we have not had leisure and opportunity to contemplate, we
cannot undertake to describe the American in England.
Once, and only once, had we an opportunity of contemplat-
ing the native born Yankee, at the hospitable board of a coin-
mercial acquaintance in the city. The biped was certainly
curious, we might say unique ; though, as we have said, we
cannot undertake to describe the species, we make no scruple
of indentifying the individual, in the hope that our Zoologi-
cal Society may secure the animal without loss of time. The
genius in question was attired in an amorphous blue coat,
with huge brass buttons, a flaming vest, profusion of projected
shirt and double ruffle, boots shaped like lire-buckets, nan-
keen unwhisperables fluttering about his limbs, resembling
a purser's couple of shirts on a couple of handspikes, a
white neckcloth with a loose tie, and a churn• shaped castor
under his arm. At first we concluded he must be a lunatic,
but felt relieved upon hearing that he was only a republican.
He ate much, drank deep, talked loudly and incessantly ;
his topics were varied, and, as we thought, somewhat tinctu-
red with incongruity : from one subject he rattled to another
dogmatising and soliloquising : "free and independent—nig-
gera ; rights of man—Lynch law : 4th of July—slave breeding :
civil and religious liberty—tar and feathers : John Tyler—
Jim Crow (these he called great men—the latter may be)—
corn-laws—loafers : shin-plasters—Van Buren : Congress—
locofocos : civilization—Kentucky : ex-President Adams, and
the puddings made of Cobbett's corn and treacle, which he
said Adams had every day for dinner: GeneralJackson—clam-
soup canvass backs—Governer Biddle," and so on, from the
beginning of the fish to the end of the Madeira. On the retire-
ment of the ladies, this extraordinary mammal called for
brandy and cigars ; which been forthwith provided, he pro-
ceeded to imbibe and exhale, talking from beneath his teeth
in a high nasal tone, expectorating, at short intervals, betwixt
the bars of the grate, with the precision of a Chickasaw rifle-
men. The impression produced upon the company by the
conduct and conversation of this sample of transatlantic hu-
manity, appeared to be unqualified disgust with Christopher
Columbus for having discovered America, and a general incli-
nation to take refuge with the ladies. We should be sorry
indeed to suppose that this remarkable item represented his
nation; on the contrary, we imagine him to have been a
living caricature of the American citizen, who is no doubt
modest, well-bred, Christian-like, and sensible, as becomes
his British origin. These ridiculous stories about Lynch
law, tar and feathers, John Tylers and Jim Crows, we take
to be little imaginary extravaeanzas, in which men will at
times indulge who know that the listener must travel 4,000
miles to be able to contradict them.—Blackwood.
