suspicious results nigh be expected. The
honor Of slipping tea with the courezan of

returned to their country vastly improved
in their ideas. They damn republican
manners with commendable zeal, and dis

Now, if the London club persists in re.

such individual modification to those of
our citizens who consider the touch of

seat in Parliament, that further procras-
tlnatlon in the settlement of money Jobs
might be construed into an Indifference TO
the fate of this great Republic, and, what
is yet more heinous, a disregard of the
community of Bond street loungers and
Hyde Park Loaiers of high and low degree
The INDIGNANTLY vIRTUoUs CLUES OF
LONDON. The resolution Of certain fash
lonable clubs in London, to blackball every
American proposed for membership, is one
Of the most amusing examples of pseudo.
morality in a paroxysm, which has ever
been presented to our notice. A person
unacquainted with the character of the ell
ements Of which those clubs are chiefly |
composed, would naturally and innocently |
enough imagine that they consisted of the
most honorable, honest, pure and yirtuous
men in the British metropolis-perfect
paragons of morality and recltude But
when it is considered that the majority of
the members are genteel swindlers, who |
prey upon poor tradesmen, and alive by
their Wits as the saying goes, a more
correct Judgment will be formed of their
pretensions 10 honesty. II is a notorious
fact, that the majority Of the patrons of
these club.houses never pay even the bills
Of their poor washerwomen, and are con.
stantly driven to all SORTS Of shifts and con
trivances 10 escape those evil geni Of Lon
