Austro- Russian alliance, the Gridiron
Railroad bill, Robert Dale Owens last
ghost, or Barnum's What is it ?''-
The vast and comprehensive question,
involviving the muscular reputation OF
the two countries-this contest which
is forever to settle the question as to
the relative strength Of the shrek of
the American Eagle and the growl of
the British Lion-is attracting all the
attention it deserves. Our gallant
countryman maintains the national
reputation finely. He makes noise
wherever he goes. He has been al
ludett to in Parliament by an honora-
ble member, who asked the govern
mcnt what it intended to do about the
fight ? The Home Secretary immedi-
atcly, aud in the most gentlemanly
manner, snubbcd the inquisitivc Sena-
tor-told him, in effect, that it was
none Of his business, but that the gov
ernment did not intend to do anything
1t all about it.
And so it is going on. Isn't it de-
lightful? Isn't it a splended commen-
|tary on the beneficial effect of the
learning, the piety, the moral and re-
ligious progress of the age? Ought
not Mr.. Heenan to be strong man,
for Charleston or Chicago? And
haven't we sent several other equally
brilliant ornaments of the governing
classes to breath the fogs, and cat the
roast beef, and drink the beer OF Old
England The other day, the elegant
and accomplished Mr.. John Morrissey,
the tendcr-hcartcd and chivalrous M:
Daniel Cunningham, and the iIlustrious
MIR. James Hughes, went over by the
Africa, and the elegant Mr.. Mnlligan,
the Chester field Of the ring, was sup.
posed to have boarded the same ship,
and to be ON his way to give the swells
Of Piccadilly some idea Of good breed
ing. Mr.. Mnlligan, however, had a
little business to attend TO in the Court
Of Sessions, and has not yet been able
to arrange his affairs so as to make his
foreign trip. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that he will yet succeed in gain
ing an opportunity to be present at the
Congress.
These distinguished special shoulder
hitting commissioners cannot fail to at
tract great attention in England
They will be AZ great curiosities as the
Thugs of India or the man eaters from
the Fije Islands. We don't think that
Mr.. Dallas will take them to the
Queens drawing room, because he is
= little old fogyish; but we might do
worse. We have no doubt that the
roughs will behave themselves on the
other side-they don't lack sense, and
they know very well that there are no
friendly Alderman in London to stand
between them and the treadmill
and so they will keep quiet. Six weeks
or so Of decent behavior may send
them back as quiet as lambs and aa
mild as divinity students. Why
!couln't the Duchess of fSoutherland and
the other old ladies of Exeter Hall take
Morrissey, Mulligan & Co., in hand
There's field for the philanthropists.
There's vineyard for the Christian
philosopher. The Almighty Nigger
wouldn't be a circumstance to it.
Meantime, let the fight go on.--
Keep cool and don't bet. The sub
;6ect is too important to be trifed
with. 1t may complicate our foreign
relations and tie up the San Juan
|qucstion into a hard knot. ~
