(From Our Scottish Correspondent) The average Soot has rarely any jection to the play of humour or satire round his alleged or notorious charte teristics, some of the worst stories and jokes against him are, indeed, of Scottish manufacture. A good example of this tolerance of csticture is to be found in the present vogue of Thomas Love Peacock's Rovels among all circles, North of the Tweed. Of course in Peacock's handling of the Scot there is, apparent the influence of the eighteenth century tradition. Boswell tells us that Johnson once "produced a roar of applause" by

It is in refineries, string hostility is displayed the spirit of this anlly that Peacock,--whose towards the Government because of their literary affinities were rather with the action in withdrawing from the Brussels eighteenth century than with his own,- Sugar Convention.

thus invested will be lost.

Greenock, they say, could stand on its merits in fair competition, but that it cannot fight against, bounty-fed products. Some of the leading merchants, indeed, declare that the sugar industry in the west will once more be ruined."

A writer in the "Glasgow Herald "has taken the trouble to pick out scias of the abuse of the Scote from Peacock's novels, and it is an extraordinary collection. In Crotchet Castle," Ebenezer MacCrotchet, surely it was a false touch to drop the "Mac" later on,-is represented as com
