A Tap on a Tub.
The Morning Advertiser, speaking of Louis Napoleon's new tariff reforms, says that he has effected them, "deaf to the howlings of the iron-masters and the scowlings of the coal-owners". One would not deprive the Emperor of one iota of his merit, but we have a "random recollection" that a "scowl" is a thing to see, rather than to hear. We do think that our friends the Licensed Victuallers are entitled to demand better grammar for their money. Our Jeames would not have so written.
