‘ This notion of what constitutes respect-
able society is quite a fa.vorite._o‘ne with‘
that class of individuals whom Thackeray
has so insignificantly called “_suobs-'_;”
empty pretence. ‘always making its own
characteristics a standard, by which it
strives to measure the respectability of
‘persons at large.~ In -a community of
mere -uioney.-getters, wealth is the tent ‘ti’
respectability. Ainougjthe proud, uar-I
row-minded, eifete mobility of the Fan-..
bourg St, Germain, respectability depends
upon being descendants from ‘ancestors,
who have married their cousins for so’
many centuries that neither muscles nor,
‘brains are left any longer to degenerate
descendants. With , the d_andy.-.o‘tlicers-
whofcoustitute considerable_ portionofthe.

on having sponged on “ Uncle Sam,” in.’
wearing gilt buttons and jilting tailors.—*--
Every conceited fool thinks himself, in
like way, the only man really weighty,
the only man who is respectable. - ‘ '
But true respectability depends on no
such adventitious circnmstauces. To be
respectable is to be worthy of respect;
and he deserves the most respect“ who
has the-most virtue. The -hnmblest man-‘
who bravely-does his duty, is more worthy,
of respect, is more truly respectable, than ‘
the covctous millionaire among his money’
bags, or the arrogant monarch upon his
throne. -The fine lady who-' back-bites"

‘received a perfect shower of. grape-shot,

would bedoing impact’ of gross injustice
to our officers and men,‘ did I not men-
tion the humanity. and justice which they
exhibited‘ during the whole of this alfair,
for although close by were ‘villages and

membered that we had not come amongst

seeing that we were friendly disposed
they gained courage, and I have no doubt
"that wheiiwe left the ruined ~ fortresses,
we left also .a most favorable impression
upon the, inhabitants adjoining The
Chinese ofiicials have at last received a
severe lesson, and one, I doubt not, that
will ‘belong’ remembered by them. The
act is uuparallelled» in the. _ annals of our

On Friday, the 4th of December, the
English took the last of the Chinese forts
by storm, at Canton. The fort is called
the French Folly, and commands the city
on its north-eastern site. All trade is
suspended in Canton. At present the

storming party crossed over to the fort ‘
on the opposite side called Fiddler’s Reach
under cover of our fire. This time they
met with more opposition, but if a man’s
courage began to desert him, the sight of
a little white -flag with the ominous words
inscribed on it, “ Remember Mullin,” (the
name of the man firstl killed,) would ins-
English have possession of ‘ the river, and
the once thriving, bustling‘cil:y of Canton
is turned into barrracks for the soldiers,
(that is that part of the City outside the
wa=.lls,) it is impossible to conjecture what
Admiral Seymour’s next movement will
=be——lie is awaiting troops from India,
aml then, no doubt, he will enter and
storm the inner city. Up to the time of
tantly arouse the remaining spark of
courage, and he would again renew the
contest with desperate and determined
energy. _In_ forty minutes from the time
the boats started, the stars and stripes
were waving from the parapcts of the
second fort. VVe had some little skir-
mishing with the Chinese soldiers, but in
general it" was but a poor defe use, and
they were in all cases forced.~to fly.--
The same day we took posses sion of

OUR ARISTOCRACY SEEN Tnnoucn Fon-
1-ZIGN Omcs.——A correspondent of the
London Daily News writing from Selma-
‘Alabama, gives his views touching‘ the
matt‘er‘~‘of‘faristocratic” races on-
tinent as ‘follows: - - — . * , '
“-In Virginia and - North‘ and -‘South
Carolina, I was in" what is popularly ‘sup-
posed to be the aristocratic region of the
this con-
‘American fUiiion.- -,Here-,'- the Southern
papers -a‘ssu‘l'e‘ us are‘ to; bc“"foiind" the
lAm‘eric‘an “~ gentlemen” . par etcéllerice as
distinguished from the: Northan; ro‘ti‘m'ers,
the “small fisted farmers” “and: ggeasy
mechanics” of Massachusetts and Con-
necticut, whom “free -society” is "scorn-
fully describeclas producing in abundance.
I am giving-my impression, of course,'on-
ly the surface of society, and’ - only
that ' portion of its surface with
which one comes in contact in railways,
‘and stcamboats, but the fact is that, at
least to the traveler on the wing, the ar-
istocratic clement in the population iono-
where visible. From Baltimore to Mout-
gomery, in this State, in no species ofco'n-
veyance did I meet with more than two
persons who, judging from dress, manners
and conversation, would in England be
called “ gentlemen.” I confine this ob-
servation specially to the slave region.-
It is not true of New England. There
may be a hundred reasons, why my ex-
perience has been peculiarly unfortunate,
but my fellow-passengers from Baltimore
southward bare no manner of resemblance-
to anything which the loosest and wild-
est radical in the Old World would. .call
“ geutlemanly.” They were dirty, de
touts rnwniere. They were shabbily dress-
ed-——t-hey chewed tobacco, aiid..spat tits
juice in showers ; they talked slang ; they
seemed never‘ to have washed any portion
of their persons in their lives. ‘In South
Carolina, the chosen home of chivalry, I
sat in a carriage in which the mndformed
by years of dust and oceans of sailvagwas
three inches deep on the floor, in compa-
‘ny with men into whose p1'esence.most
English ladies would be afraicl to-venture.
I sat at breakfast and dinner.sidc_{-by‘*. side
with individuals who, whatever their oth-
er qualities, had certainly no more claims
to gentility than chimney-sweeps or} cab-
-rl1',ivei's; and we were waited on with a
- Tdifereuce and assiduity which our Eng-
lish Johns would do well to imitate," by
uegroes, who certainly, in all the endow-
ments which give men social standing.‘ in
an aristocratic country, save birth alone,
seenifito meto be just as good company
and a vast deal more. entertaining . than
those they served. The ai'istoc1'acy- of
‘race, I- think never appeared under more
lndicrous aspect . . ..

twelve to sixteen years old, with; their
pants buckled very tightly -around their
discoiinected bodies, preventing . growth

BALLOON’ DnEssss.—-The ladies dresses
are ballooning out to such an enormous
size in Paris that we are iufomedthat the
following colloquy took place in the gar-
dens of the Tuileries, where it is the cus
tome to charge a. son for every chair’
that is used : Chairwonian—“ Madame
has made a mistake——she has paid me
only one son.” Lady——“Yes, my good
woniau——I have occupied only onechair.”
Chai1'woman—“ That is ti'ue——b'ut there
were two other cliairs—'one on each side
of Madame, for the accommodation of
i\Iadame’s dress, and that makes three
sons.” Lady—“ Three sous I But it’s
scandalous !” Cliairwomau—“ Far from
that-, I can assure you, Madame, that a
lady only yestemlay aid live sons for the
use of five cliuirs, and’ her dress, I am sure,
was by no means so fasliiouable as ‘Mad-
ame,s.” [The three sons are paid con-
tentedly, and Madame rises, displaying
as she retires the utmost breadth of her
dress, which may be described, without
any exaggeration, as being quite as broad
as it is long.] '
