MADAME MOHL.
[To urn Erma or raz Brieriroa.")
!8l,—The Spectator comes to my house a week late, and as I 'disagree strongly with its politics, I do not always read it. But when I do read it, I sometimes find curious things. For instance, in your issue for June llth, in an article on Julius and Madame Mohl, I find it stated that the latter was of Scotch extraction. 4 have always understood that she was born and brought up in Dublin, and think you will find that I am correct. The Scotch have many excellent qualities, but esprit is not usually among them, and esprit was the special characteristic of Madame Mal. If you wish for corroboration of my assertion, you will find a aeries of articles on her in the Atlantic Monthly, two or three years ago, by Miss O'Meara.—I am, Sir, &a., Waterford, Tune 20th. T. It. Hsavar.
[Our correspondent is entirely mistaken, both in the matter of fact and in his general view of Scotch ladies. Miss Clarke -was a Scotchwoman. Moreover, the moat interesting feature about Scotch society in the early part of this century was the 4aprit of the old ladiee.—En. Spectator.]
