Well, ' we have had the honour of conversing with a venerable and worthy maiden Indy, resi- ding st Nithbsnk here—a member oftlie fa- mily of the Kirkpstricks of Conheeth, Coef- luve rock, a branch of the Kirkpulricks of Closeburn. She informs us, that her brother, William Kirkpatrick, became American consul tit Malage, Spain, and married itito an ancient family of the name of Graves or rsvi, our informant is not certain which. The fruit ofthis marriage was the mother of the new em ress, who married the Count dc Montijo. ur venerable friend is therefore aunt of the emprees's mother, and grand- uunt ofthe empress herself. “ Mark Sic- car” is the motto ofthe Kirkpelricks. 'l he empress seems deteniined to exemplify it. We trust she will “ mark siccsr,” for she has a cunning fox to deal with. However, we think better of the emperor than ever, in having the siigacily to marry a lady ofe. good old Nilhsdule stock. The .N'orlh British Mail has the follow- in_g:—-A gentleman in this city (G|asgow,) wlto was for many years very intimate with Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Malugii, the grandfa- fatlier ol'Ntipoleon’s bride, informs us, that the current reports respecting the family are, in some particulars, incorrect. Mr. Tlioiniis Kirkpatrick was the Swedish con- sul tit Malngs, and not the British. Mrs. Kirkpatrick was it Swedish lady by birth, but her parents were British, and she was universally allowed to have been the hand- eomest lad in Mnlugs. A sister of Mrs. Kirk atrick‘s married Lieutenant-Colonel - h0m90n. of the Royal Engineers. Mr. Kirkpatrick had several children, one of whom married the second son of ti Spanish duke, who, on the death of his elder bro- ther, succeeded to the family honours, end is the father of the French Empress. It thus appears, that, except through her father, there is no Spaiiish blood in her veins; and this will account for her fair complexion and blue eyes Iivrenrzsriivti T0 Mizitciism-s._—By a royal order issued at Madrid on the 3d ult., ' consideration of the late enrtliquuke at St. Jugo, (Cubii,) it was ordained that flour, Indian corn, beans, potatoes, rice, salt, fish and all articles offood, be utltnitted into that port free of duty for six months; also that timber, tiles, window frames, and all articles used in building, be admitted free of duty ms was cast. 5 LONDON LODGING HOUSES. it is a common saying that one ltalfihe world does not know how the other half lives ; and no- where is that so true. as in this metrop ' where are there such iinpr-netrflile veils, such thick party tvalln between wealth and overly, between cornfoti tind wretcbedtiess. ew are aware \'s‘It5\I is going on. perhaps. within a stone's throw of their own drawingrooms.

IXTINBION 0!‘ ‘I'll ILETIVI FRANCE!!! BILL. On the memorable occasion, last Session, on which on Eztetisiort of the Elective Franchise was first mooted in the Assembly, it wits distinctly stated by the Hon. Mu. Cous, when proposing and advocating the measure, that it was his opinion the extension ought to be coupled with an etiuartiortal qualification, but of the lowest stundni-d—-rite bring able nu-rel to read write, and, when afterwttrde udvertin-g to it, be re- marked tliut, in order to test tiny individual cluiniingto vote, in virtue of it, at an election, all’ that would be necessary would be that the returning ollicer should hand him it cop of the Act, and require him to roads portion 0 it,and sign his name; for his ability or inability to do so would, at once, settle the question concer- ning liia right to vote. .This educational quali- fication wliicli, we believe, formed a part of last ciir‘s Bill, is now, however, we ttnderstaud, to ubttudoiied. and the elective franchise is to be extended to all men of2l years of age and upwards, who have been 12 months in the 0010- ny, and tire liable to pay Road ‘tax. We are not, on any account, disposed to ob- struct the course of neodful or reasonable ' lotion ; but, on the contrary, we would gladl lend it helping hand, if we could. to further on secure the enactment of it iuaaaiaaesproeeeding from a truly liberal and ualiglitened u.I.....t.s ass -.....sh.taw than reentry vilav ck give theme t. - We are, therefore, sorry to find ourselves ob. liged to raise our voice ti inst the Bill for the Extension of the ective ranchise, as we have been informed it is likely to as the Assembly; that is without any educatto As we said on a former ocoasion,wlteu advert- ing to this question, “ we cannot agree with these i 3 upon uburacl right and nalml arithnirttc; to whom the will of the majority is sacred; and in whose estirnatiort one more is as good tmdas aompcleritns oitetlier; and tolio Iiold that every man's claim, to on 150150 the Go- vernment, is iriltereru and trtrle saaible.” And, as we then further said, we now my agtiin,—we cannot think that it will be safe or wise to introduce Universal Sufi‘:-age until Um‘. vernal Education shall have been lirst attained. We readily admit that there rare “book It ," in the world; it few of whom are, rhups, to be found in Prince Edward Island ; ut we cannot readily believe that any men sit. as legislators, either in this Island, or else- where, who are so rtial to iyiorttricc, or the want of education, its to argue or feel persuaded that, generally speaking, an uiilesrned or un- educated man, will be capable of forming as correct and comprehensive a judgment, with respect to the Government of a comm , as one whose original powers of mind have it ini- prov by cultivation. it is, indeed, very true, that uneducated man of great natural capacities are frequently to be met with, whose habits of observation and re- flection have qualified theui C0JilI(i‘fl, in may matters, with a much greater egresof truth, precision, and justice, than_ many oxen, tida- rally their iii/‘st-tors, whose minds gs undantly stored with such mental weal as derived ikoui the study of books.
