SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The InteLiIgsncsr earnestly seconds the
movement Of the " Old Line Wings" Of Ken
lucky for a nation al convention to determine
whom to support in the approaching Presiden-
tial election.
The Unfon says of the recent 80 prompt
publication of Lord Clarendon's last dispatch
upon the Enlistment question:
cit is certain that there has been an unu.
,ual eagerness manifested in bringing this
reply before the public, accompanied with
comments well calculated to make the impres.
sion that the British government, if it has not
satisfactorily met Mr.. Marcy arguments, has,
at least, satisfactorily atoned for the uninten-
tional violation Of our laws and sovereign
rights. We will not attribute this pronlptness,
not to say haste, in responding to the pacific
and conciliatOry tone which is assumed to be
90 satisfactory to an actual sympathy with
the British government but we will say that,
whilst 1t may arise from extreme sensitivenesS
as TO the fears OF war with Gnsat Britain, it
IS also well calculated to confirm that gov
eminent In the erroneous impression that the
sentiments Of the American people are not in
unison with those of the administration Oh the
recruitment difiulty. Tits not to be disguised
that the opinion prevails extensively in Eng
land, produced by giving too much Importance
to certain well-knOwn journals in our own
that the controversy on the enlistment ques-
tiOn has been resorted to by the administra-
tion for political purposes, and with a view to
the presidential succession. Hence it is not
surprising if there should be nearly as much
anxiety felt in England as to the action of our
several nominating conventions for the presi-
dency as in cur own country. Nor would it
be matter of surprise if Lord Clarendon's
reply to Mr.. Marcy was written under the er.
roneOus impression alluded to, and with the
expectation that it might exert some influence
on the nominating conventions soon to as
sembls at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New
York. Nor would it be extraordinary if the
eagerness to create premature impressions on
the public mind in our country by the hasty
comments on Lord Clarendon reply, to which
we have referred, should have arisen in some
degree from hope that the results of the con.
ventions named might be affected by the i'm
preston that the administration had upneces-
sarily prOtracted the enlistment controversy"

TIE YANKEE GIRL IN LoSDoN.-By our late
files of English papers, We see that Mr. and
Mrs. w. ]. Florence have made q great hit at
the Drury Lane Theatre, London. The Times.
of May LIST, in its notices Of the performances
at Drury Lane, says:
"There is now to be seen at this house
specimen of Transatlantic acting which ought
not to be overlooked by any one who as tas
for curiosities in histrionic art Mrs Flor
ence, newly arrived from the United States,
whore she has gained q considerable reputa-
ton, represents in farce called the Yankee
Housekeeper," 'gal' from the State of Maine.
who combines such highly colored assem-
hlage OF native peculiarities as has never been
witnessed on any European stage. The dialect
is Of the strongest favor-the prosaic shrewd.
ness accompanying an almost boisterous vi
vacity betokens development of the cute
organs that the dull citizens of the Old World
would scarcely associate with their notions of
the feminine nature ; the gestures are of the
strangest and, at tho same time, of the most
significant kind, but all so perfectly free and
spontaneous as to leave no doubt that a real
type of the Anglo-Saxon family has been truly
aPprehended by quick and observant in.
tellect. The Yankee 'gal,' of humble life, as
delineated by Mrs Florence, is being to
whom half measures are unknown, and Who
would be dreadfully puzzled if she had to find
an English equivalent for the French word
nuance. If she is abashed she buries her face
in her apron if she is kindly disposed to an
admirer she pokes him in the ribs +; if she feels
her dignity compromised, her frst tendency
is to slap the face of the offender; if the desire
of gaining a hard dollar steals upon her
mind, she scorns everything like hint, and
with the most business-like air askes, What
will you gle me?' And all this is so heartily
done, with s1ch an appearance of intrinsic
frankness and good nature, that the result is
almost fascinating, while the movements ac-
quire sort of native grace from their unbe-
coming wildness.''
Mr.. Florence, by whom the lady is accom-
panied, is an actor of Irish parts, with great
deal of quiet humor, and brogue that is not
altogether of the Cts Atlantic kind.
The London Era says of Mrs Florence:
"On her first entrance, with huge coal
scuttle bonnet, elaborate parasol, shawl Of an
unhead-of pattern, and other ''fxings' of an
equally extravagant character, the audience
felt that something was being presented to
them utterly different from those types of the
ordinary conventional sou6rette that has been
chiefly the channel of feminine comic humor
in this country. Bnt when, in the depths of
that bonnet, pretty, saucy, roguish face was
lit up by the footlights, and a smart, quaint
voice proceeded thence to salute the house with
wall, how do ye all dew'' the roar of
laughter that followed proved as genial a
greeting as O stranger could desire, and, from
that moment, pleasant understanding was
firmly established between the actress and her
audience"
