DAILY CRESCENT.

SOME LATE PARTISAN JoKEs.-One of the evil
dences that Paris is 'safe,'' consists in the fact
that fun and gossip come forth, just as usual-that
people laugh amuse themselves with the foibles and
jokes of their fellows, just before the revolution.
The last Home Journal translates some of this
polished comedy, which we proceed to copy:
"A curious lottery came off lately in small
village of France. A very popular and handsome
but poor young man, put himself up as the one
prize in lottery of ten thousand tickets-two dol
lars ticket His advertisement was addressed
particularly to widows consolable and maids with
out bowers. The town of X, and all the
neighborng towns, were absorbed in this interest
ing game of hazard, and the tickets all sold in
a very few days. AT the time of drawing, young
lady who had no interest in the affair, beyond the
frolic, turned out to have the prize number. The
young man Immediately called to offer her the Win
nings, and they fancled each other violently at
first sight, that they were married within twenty
four hours The lottery had of course, produced
fortune Of a hundred thousand francs, and they
began the married state with a promising outfit.
There remain however, consequently, nine thous-
and, nine hundred and ninety-nlne DANES and dam
sells, (blanks,) in the village of k and its
neighborhood, who are on the look out for hus-
band.
- The French ladies are in revolt. A club is
organized called the = Vesuvians. They protest
against being forgotten and thrust aside in these
cent movements. Negroes are emancipated they
say, but woman is kept slave. Barricades are
talked of-in bedrooms.) Placards are actually
up, all Paris calling for restoration of the an
Gent facility of divorce Universal suffrage In
deed that does not include females! The new Or
der of things bears heavily on the sex i'll one point
more particularly. Clubs have taken the place of
theatres as places of resort for husbands. IW0
hundred new clubs are now in full operation in
Paris, most of them with nightly meetings. The

when every. other prejudice is crumbing to dust,
when all ranks and conditions of human society
are consulted as to their wishes for improvement,
woman alone is considered secondary, voiceess,
null Serious apprehensions are felt in thoughtful
quarters, as to a possible eruption of the $ Vesu-
vians.'
- The Theatres in Paris are in despair. Two
Uhe National Opera and the Odeon,) have knocked
under-the actors themselves, however, like those
at the Aston Place Opera.) taking up the manage
ment, and carrying it on la republique. Several
of the most delightful of the Partisan actresses and
dancers fled at the first outbreak of the revolution,
frightened probably at the prospect of empty bench
es but enough remain for the receipts.
Our readers do not all know, perhaps, that
it is impossible get out of the heavy street door
of Partisan houses without the consent of the por-
ter. This functionary sits in small room at the
side of the entrance, and he lifts the latch for
you by pulley. Of which the controlling cord
hangs at his side, you say, in passing his door,

please.) The French papers are very much given
to recording the witticsms of the vagabond boys of
Paris, and one of them records a meeting between
Lablache, the enormously fat singer, and ragged
lad, in narrow passage adjoining the Opera. The
great basso stopped up the way entirely. Unwilling
to back out the boy tried three passes, on each
side and finally between the well planted legs of
the singer, but baffled in all, he suddenly stepped

- French paper says-(we translate liter
ally)-In the midst of the formidable news which
is bursting upon from every side, is it not rather
piquant thing to read, in an English newspaper,
HerMaiesty, Queen Victoria, is happily delivered
of daughter Really nothing changes in En-
gland. There is only one princess more. The
conaagration and overturn on the Continent do
make the sig hest variation In this royal perl
odcal Amid bulletins revolutionary, which cross
each other from every of the political horl-
zon, we see always arrive, at its fixed annual pc
Rod, The Queen is happily delivered etc But
has not this event also another bearing! 1t is
written in the legal codes, that a condemned wo.
man shall be repreved, if in this condition, till at
ter the safe completion of her event. Now-when
all rovasts are condemned, it not by design that
the Queen keeps herself perpetually in this inte-
resting situation or, nearly so, that revolution
could not possibly have time to achieve any thing
in her short intervals9 But the bounties OF nature
have their limits. Victoria approaches her Thrift
eth year. A few princes and princesses more. and
then. nature being exhausted, and the obstacle re-
moved, England will take its turn. We predict
that republic will be proclaimed at London, in
eight or ten yearsor in the first year after the birth
of the Queens last child.
- There has been great excitement among the
French grenadiers at the order for abolishng the
tall fur cap, which has been their immemorlal
glory Most of the victims of this republican tepel-
Ing. have put the ostracised article under glass
case to be preserved paror ornament In per-
petual souvenir and it is proposed to make them
useful by employing them as the cases OF family
clocks
The following address has been issued to the
friends of Ireland in America, dated Dublin, April
22d:
