Day after day sloes the horr o r of exposure accumulate in the morbid imag' nation, while increasing disease aug. ments the suffering of the body and the irritability of the mind. Sen sible of the anguish thus protracted, we haveacloptre system which long practical experience has proved to be highly successful, and which precludes tke absolute necessity of personal communication with those who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute description of the case, written in plain language, will enable us to treat the patient with delicate secrecy; and such has been the pecu liar nature of our practice, embracing-every variety of difficult cir cumstances that the most timid may led encouragement in the oppor. tunity thus afffirded them. Tw , nty-five years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases i torn indiscretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the constitution may have become enfeebled, enable us to promise a restoration to Health, without any interference with the ordinary diet and habits. Messrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every day, at their residence; and Patients in th e remotest parts of the coml. try can be treated successfully on their describing minutely the case, and enclosing a remittance for 4 deice and Medicine.

Thomas Earl of Mahon, and Minister of Margate, n Kent, 1739. "We observe in a pamphlet, Anti-Deist,' published by Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c iii, v. 22, is a gross mistransla tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole look, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821. " University Education." " The great resorts and seats of learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse, knowledge. The 'age has the start of them, that is, other sources of knowledge have ben opened since their formation, tc which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully at these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege. All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will not budge, whatever wasnot known when they were'endowed, they are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—Hazlites Table Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828. " Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God't image ; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye. Many a man lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a life, but revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we raise against the living labours of public men, how we blight that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books ; since we see a kind of homicide may be thus committed, some times a martyrdom; and if it extend to the whole impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends not in the slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and faith essence, the breath of reaso n it se lf, s l ays an immor tality rather Inn a life."—Areopagitica, Milton. National Education.—" The Bishop of Norwich said the race of clergy which was now passing away had had the most favourable opportunity of instituting schools in their parishes, and of educating the people in the principles of the Church of England. If this had been done thirty years ago, and educa tion extended to teaching the children obedi ence to and re spect for the law, and the frugal husbanding of their means, it would have been impossible to have raised inf ur i ated bands of malcontents like the Chartists of the present day, and England would have a very different aspect. He did not cast a general condemnation on the clergy of that period, for many of th em had fully done their duty ; but he regretted that so golden an opportunity had passed—an opportunity that would take the greatest labour and energy of those anxious to impose on the rising generation to reclaim." The Sun, No. 14,657, August the Bth, 1839. " We cannot on this occasion lay down our pen without en deavouring to impress on the religious and Protestant part of the community, the unspeakable importance of speedily taking measures to purify and purge the Church." " If there be truth or consistency in man, sincere Protes tants must turn against those who have given such prodigious vantages to the Popish superstition."—The Morning Sun , Tuesday, September, 10, 1839. " I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision— Bellamy's—of the Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought to be laid, as anticipating a closer approximation in sentiment among all denominations of Christians now at variance with each other, upon certain disputed points of doctrine —under this impressio n I think all must subscribe to its impo r t ance. " — Chester Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1824. " The Catholic authorized version was first published at Douay in the year 1609.

" Hebrew, Part, 7th, 1834, New Translation.—" If I were shapen in iniqaitv, or in sin, my mother had conceived me." Note.—Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. This verse, as it stands in the common version, is not consistent with the Scripture. The Divine com munication stands recorded in Gen. i. 28. and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Now it must strike every reader with conviction, that as God created man to multiply and replenish the earth, he did not ordain man to be shapen in iniquity, nor to be conceived in sin. The Divine order for the multiplication of the human race is as holy now as at the beginning : it is pronounced to be superlatively good, Gen. i. 31., and this Divine order is sanctioned through out the Scripture, in all its parity, as a t the be g i nn i ng; con firmed by the Messiah, who said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven, Matt. xviii. 14. ; it therefore follows, that if man were shapen in iniquity, and conceived in sin, the Divine insti tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him. Mr. O'Connell is a powerful speaker, a skilful politician, an able advocate for civil and religious liberty , b ut h e s h ou l d not attempt theology.—The Sun, No. 14,672. " Swift seems to have entertained some gloomy forebodings of the melancholy fate that awaited him. On seeing a tree, the top of which was withered, he shook his head, and ex claimed, I shall be like that tree, I shall die at top." Mr. O'Connell, though having received the friendly admo nition of tins paper, in our matter of " dying at top," must still wear his feathers " in his cap of vanity." " In London," observes Batista Angeloni, in Letters on the English Nation, 1750--" religion seems to be periodical, like an ague, which returns only once in seven days, and then at tacks the inhabitants with the cold fit only, which physicians reckon the most fatal ; the b urn i ng nev e r succeeds in this country." Even on their days of worship in their Churches, there is ten thousand times more inattention to their duty, than to the price of stocks in Change-alley all the rest of the week ; and the fervour of their devo lion, to obtain a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament, purchasing a good bar gain on the Exchange, or trying to obtain a good place at Court ; they are as cool and inanimated in their acts of devo tion, as they are warns and active in those of getting riches, and their temples and exchanges are accordingly constructed within for those different dispositions, every family having in their churches a snug pew, a kind of closet, where they can sit and sleep, or employ themselves in anything but their duty to the Highest ; whereas in their places of commercial rendez vous there are no seats, they would be useless there, the zeal of gain keeping them standing to their duty." With this accurate delineation of the " Corporation of the City of London," where " the fervour of their devotion for a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament ;" and this being the municipal body which gives tone to the institutions of the country, what promoter, we may expect on behalf of a matter "of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." It is a melancholy reflection that the " two Estates" distin guished amongst us as " collective wisdom" throughout the realm should have had no deeper feeling towards a linguist of a country than the frequenters of " 'Change-alley." It is now more than 30 years since the eminent linguist Bel lamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical of the 'highest literary character in the country, the " Classical Journid ;" it is 22 years since we became adherents to his pr, mulgations, and with an intent watchfulness, The Sun, the Examiner, and the Chester Chronicle, are the only Papers amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." This enables us to repel the imputation to the " Continental Despots," we rather say Sovereigns of Europe, or " the cruel ' and faithless bigot," and it may go to assuage the acerbity of vi tuperations against them, when one whose purport was and is " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life," has received such an act of unexampled injus tice from the press of England. It is pleasing to us to observe a conspicuous personage in our triple state, who was equally unmindful in his day, and of the posthumous fame of a Prince. Sir Robert Peel has his proper estimation with a portion of the Press. " The Tories quarrel with the lion. Baronet because of th e f ee bl e , s hif t i ng , cowardly I Policy which he has pursued during several Sessions of Parlia ment. We now find this once trumpeted statesman, everywhere inveighed against by those of his own faction, as a sluggish and irresolute, if not a feeble-minded, statesman."— Sunday Times. When malignancy, the characteristic of olden time—for Shakespeare wrote".liens' evil manners live in brass ; their virtues we write in water"—is so rife amongst us, we consider it our bounden duty to break a lance with the assailants of the memory of the Prince and Patron of the Work, " of the ut most importance to the interest of mankind," and a life be yond life"—who Distort the truth—accumu late the lie, And pile the p)ramid of calumny: 11 w B —English Bards and Scotch R evie ers. yron.

Our readers wil recollect that she is a ship of the largest class of Indiamen, 1,000 tons, and is supplied with an engine of thirty.horse power, as an auxiliary to her sails. Her voyage has been unusually long, particularly so for so fine a ship, and one that is considered the fastest sailer in the whole of Messrs. Wigram and Green's splendid fleet of five and thirty In diamen. The Vernon, however, is one of twelve, thi private property of Richard Green, Esq , to whose spirited and enterprising exertions the commercial world and the shipping interests arc likely at no distant period to be deeply indebted for carrying into practical effect an provenient in navigation that will obviate the tedious delay, occasioned by calms and light winds in long voyages. Of the causes of the delay the Vernon has experiencet. we are very imperfectly informed at present. All we ea; collect at present is from a postscript to a letter dated Cal cutta, January 19th, apparently written as the mail, whicl. arrived on Tuesday last, was leaving. It states The Vernon has at last made her appearance, and is now steam ing up at Kedgenee. The steam was of great use in cross ing the Line on the 2d and 3d of January, until getting the north-east monsoon, which they did on the bt h, beating up all the way until they reached the head of the Bay, whet. it fell a calm. They then steamed up to the Pilots. Thet can steam four knots if there is no heed wind or swell." This intelligence is extremely important, as it most iv controvertibly establishes the practicability of successfully applying steam power as an auxiliary to sails, and will, no doubt, lead to a new era in navigation. We congratulate the spirited owner of this experimentai ship and the country at large on the issue of the outward. bound voyage ; the more so, as the accidents which hap. pened to the machinery in the first part of the voyage had rather cast a gloom upon the prospects of success. Thost accidents were the breaking of a piston rod in the Downs; the detention of the ship at Portsmouth, while another was made, and a duplicate in case of need. One of they broke while the Vernon was off Dartmouth, the other ii. crossing the Line. So that, in fact, her steam was of Im use to her until after she had left the Cape, where Captain Denny, the able commander, had the good fortune to find blacksmith, a Dutch boor, who, although he knew nothing about steam-engines, yet, nevertheless, under the instructions of Captain Denny, he contrived to make a wrought-Ir°, piston that would not break, thus excelling in the manu facture of that important article in a steam-engine the London engineer. The piston.rod of the blacksmith succeeded well. The condensed steam in the horizontal cylinder could not break it. The reason was obvious,—he could nut temper it up to the freezing oribreaking point, the condensed steam in the cylinder, an horizontal one, and the rods, being too highly-tempered steel. The voy.ige of the Vernon home will be one of great interest ; and it is sincerely to be hoped that no mon accidents will happen to her machinery. Great and im portant improvements in the British navy may be antici pated from its successful termination. POLITICAL SUMM RY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Herald of this day, discussing again the hacknied privilege question, remarks as follows : " Whether in their arrogance or their humility the privi lege-mongers are equally unjust. The Bill of Sum mary protection' grossly interferes with ' vested rights ' Suitors who have suffered wrongs from the House of Com mons have applied to the constitutioual tribunals of the land for redress.

TO 71IE EDITOR OF THE SUN. like truth, and will advocate its cause to the best of my capacity all the days of my exist ence on the earth. I am not one of those officers ho never speak or write anything about profes sional matters, but they revile and slander the 13:vird of Admiralty. I never did so, and I never will do so, to the Present or any other Board. They have all of them had their faults, and who are without them ? But it is a very bad spirit of mind to let political prejudice usurp the judgment, which truth and candour alone ought to guide. The great Duke said of the officers on his side of the House, that they were on the wrong scent, and so they were, for sails, spars, and spunyarn have no scent at all : we can always obtain plenty of these, , ripposin g that w e wanted them, " even in war." But Rear-Admiral Carden, whose letter appears in The Sun of the 9th instant—as well as yourself, Mr. Editor —are on the right scent, with respect to the Navy, and which right scent is, I think, on the following :-1. Ships of equal force and capacity to the ships of other nations ; 2. Active and zealous officers; 3. Youthful and active seamen, without any mixture of convicts and criminals. 1. The ships of equal force and superior sailing to those of other nations, as far as possible, and fully manned. 2. The officers active, zealous, and talented ; and to be promoted without regard to po litical influence, whether of noble or plebeian ex traction ; and not to be felsely and maliciously abused, as Admiral Fleming has been. Mr. Editor, as an honest man, and a lover of your country and of its gallant seamen, amongst wnori; Admirat Fleming is one, let me beseech you to read the minutes of Sir Robert Calder's court-martial, and the signals made by his flag ship on the day of July 1805, when he met the enemy•, with the minutes of the action, on board the Hero, 74, and the log-book of the Egyptienne frigate, which at onetime was the nearest ship to the enemy, when her captain, Eiphinstone Fleming, made the signal—" Shall I engage the ene my ?" (there were two ships of the line the nearest to him.) The Admiral answered, " No." I could state from my own observation, much more of Ad miral Fleming, were it necessary, which it is not. 3. The seamen . not to be impressed, but registered by naval officers at all the ports, and ballotted for every year, as the mlitia are, into limited service, and which the seamen themselves pray for, with the indulgence of furnishing substi tutes for all who cannot, from their commercial occupations, be spared to serve personally in the Navy, and wnich in fairness to the whole mass, every man ought to do, when his turn of service comes. But the conservatives of impressment assert that registration is allowed on all hands to he a total failure, though it has never vet been tried, and never will be tried, if the advocates of im pressment are believed, who say registration is only booking the sailors as swallows and other birds of passage ; for the men will des,.rt and change their names, and all of them lily away to America, and abandon kindred and country, be cause a third, or a fourth, or a fifth, is ballotted for every year, in case of emergency, to serve for five years in the Navy, or find a substitute. There would be little or no desertion, Jack would not abandon his country, and he would seize every man who skulked away from his turn of so equitable a servitude. I may be wrong, but I think we have four hundred thousand of seafaring men ; and at no time are fifty thousand of them in foreign coun tries. 1 therefore believe we might, with great facility, have a reserve of seventy thousand seamen at home on our coasts, ready to join the ships of war with hundreds of steamers to carry them, or to burn an enemy's fleet on the coast with combustible projectiles. We have all these securities in our hands ; let us improve •hem for active service, and foreign nations will never call upon John Bull to show his title deed to rule the ocean, or his children to sing their favourite song, " Britannia rules the waves." I am, Mr. Editor, a Son of the Sea, 13. BOWLING. NON-INTRUSION PETITIONS. The printed Votes inform us that the Edinburgh Non intrusion petition had 12,688 signatures. Now, when we look to the efforts made, and the means employed to get up this petition, we think, if it proves anything, it proves the unpopularity of the cause. The whole party clubbed their efforts to start the petition with an im mense flourish of trumpets. Then, instead of trusting re the voluntary zeal of the inhabitants inducing them to sign it at shops or other places publicly advertised, they hawked it, we understand, begging for signatures. They did net honour us with a call, and we cannot positively state what sort of "solicitors" they employed ; but we have no doubt that as usual they selected for this duty elders or other important personages, well known in their several districts—men handsomely attired, with grave faces and powdered wigs, to whom three-fourths of the persons waited upon would give their names from mere politeness. We require no better evidence of any scheme or object being unpopular than that men will not take the trouble to step across the street to sign a petition in its behaltbut must have their signatures begged as a favour by influential persons. Of the 12,600 names, we may safely hold that one-half were due exclusively to personal solicitation, and we thus reduce the lumber of names voluntary tendered to 6,300. Now, there were 31,300 males of twenty yeurs of age and upwards in this city in 1831 ; and if we add an eighth part for those between fourteen and twenty, the persons capable of signing will be, in round numbers, 35,000. What, then, has been the success of the Non-intru. sionists ? Upon our hypothesis, which we hold to be perfectly fair, only one out of five or six has signed their petition spontaneously. We have yet other tests to try the result. The petition against the Corn-laws received 23,000 names, by the fair and legitimate method of leaving it at shops, and inviting the inhabitants to sign it by advertisement. Again, the last petition from Edinburgh, for " the separation of Church and State," had about 15,000 signatures, all got without begging from door to door. What is the fair inference ? Why, that whatever zeal there may be to carry Non-intrusion, there is twice as much to have the Kirk stripped of her endowment, and her existence as an Establishment annihilated!! Govern ment may gratify a certain number of persons in Edin burgh by passing a Parliamentary veto law, but they will gratify twice as many turning the Kirk adrift, and leave her in full possession of the " independence" she boasts so much about ; but which, as Milton says. "ill consists with State hire!' The truth is, all this noise about Non-intrusion proceeds from a small knot of agi tators, backed by a few honest zealots, but by a greater number of parasites, busy bodies, and old wives. The people of Edinburgh, taken in the mass, view the sub ject with indifference, and feel something like contempt for those who are gulled into a belief that the present struggle is for a great national object. The feeling in other towns is apparently the same. Kilmarnock , with 20.000 inhabitants, affords 1,028 names ; Paisley, with 60,000 inhabitants, furnishes 4,6 84 ; " Dundee and its neighbourhood," with perhaps 70,000 inhabitants, sup plies 7,009. In Glasgow they wisely avoided making a display of their strength ; the petition from that t own bears the solitary signature of Henry Dunlop , and pro fesses to come from a meeting of " not less than 2,000 persons."—Scotsman. COVENT GARDEN THEATRICA L FUND FfiSTIVAL—Mr. Bartley, the Treasurer of thi s most excellent fund. had the honour of an interview with his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, on Thursday last, for the purpose of receiving directions from his Royal Highness with reference to arrangements to be made for the celebration of the to enty fourth anniversary, at Freemason's Hall, on Wednesday next. His Royal Highness, who (in the absmce of his illustrious brother the Duke of Sussex) has kindly consented to preside on the occasion, has taken a most lively interest in the affairs of the fund and the forthcoming festival, and requested Mr. Bartley (who is a most active functionary in the cause) to in timate to the stewards that dinner should be served punctually at six o'clock, it being his Royal Highness's intention to be at the tavern before that- hour, in order to secure the comfort of the company. The secretary (Mr. Meadow s) reported on Satur day that he had been honoured with communications from many illustrious and distinguished personages, patrons of the institu tion, who had fowarded most handome donations in support of the fund. Mr. Charles Young, the ex-tragedian, though a long distance from town, being one of the stewards, has deter mined to be present to aid his former colleagues in the duties incident to his office. The musical arrangements have been made upon a most extensive scale, and the festival altogether is expected to be the most brilliant that has taken place for years te past ; c er t a i n i t i s t h at the mem b ers of the Committee. ee. the stewards, and the prof ess i ona l l a di es an d gen tlemen w_ h volun teer their servi ces gra t u i tous l y , are em i nen tly entitled to sue cess, and to the deep and lasting gratitude of a large number of actors and actresses, who, in'" by-gone day "have "strutted and fretted thei r h our upon th e s i ege " , .j_l4 ; " da; ly -bread" in. days, iOUs pomp and circumstance," b u t w h o now alas! denye the through the medium of this' meritorious an d benevolent institution. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon had a select party to dinner, on Thursday evening, i n North Aut. , ley. street. SlR—Your humane correspondent, " Medicus,'! in a late number of your paper, expressed a hope that no tax would be laid on salt; alleging how essential this article is to the health, as well as to the food of the poorer classes. I cordially - unite with him in this kind and Christian feeling. I cannot forget what I saw in Cornwall under the former oppressive impost—viz., poor minep%, with large families, s itti ng d own to a mea l of potatoes, and using a little sea-water, from inability to Fur chase salt ! When it is considered that the fluid from which table salt is manufactured in Droitwich and other place s is absolutely inexhaustible, is it not great cruelty, by heavy taxation, to deprive the poor of its general use ? Is it not an affront to Divine beneficence to imped e and circumscribe His tree and liberal bestowments ? But the most serious consequence of the former duty, in my view, was, the numerous and constant perjuries it oecasicucd. In order that sea-fishermen might have sa l t d uty free, for the c ure o f their own'fi,h, an oath was required of them, declarin g that this was the soi. ' object of their application. Deep distress, how. ever, and want, arising from unsuccessful fishing seasons, Esc., often induced them to exchange their salt for flour, oatmeal, and other necessar.es. not the criminality . attach chi e fl y to those who " made the oaths,' for such a poor, but valuable, body of our fellow -countrymen ? J. L. (Formerly a Missionary in Cornwall ) March 15, 1840. JUSTICES' JUSTICE. It appears from a case of Cave v. Mountain, tried at Hertford, on the 28th ult. (see Hertford County Press, Feb. 29, and the Norning Cliro nide of the same day) to be thy practice fot Country Magistrates to commit in all cases (even on a mere charge of suspicion without any evidence) for fur ther examination to the next Petty Sessions, which may not be held for a week or a fortnight. Thus a man is charged with an offence—the prosecutor knows nothing against the prisoner, except hearsay; his witness is not in attendance, but can be got, in a few hours, the Magistrate without hearing a tittle of evidence, commits the party charged to the next Petty Sessions, instead of making some in quiry beforehand. Under this infamous practice no one is safe—hundreds of innocent men may he imprisoned for a week, or more. before the least in quirt' is made into their cases. The Magistrate receives the charge, but does not choose to take the trouble of making an appointment to hear the evidence. In the case in question a man went before a Ma gistrate (the Rev. Mr. Mountain, of Hempsted) and said he had heard two boys say, that they had heard N. Cave say that he had cut some trees be longing to Mr. Butt, upon which the Rev. Gentle man, without any inquir y , makes out a warrant of commitment for a week, at the end of which peried the charge is found to be false and the prisoner is discharoed. Why was not the supposed witness examined before ? Ou. , ;,ht any time to have been lost in ascertaining whether them was any evidence against the prisoner? Well, an action is brought against the Magis trate, and a Special Jury, composed in a greet mea sure of Magistrates, is got by the defendant to try the case. They, of course, decide that what had been done was quite reasonable—it was the prac tice, forsooth ! The Judge (Lord Abinger) instead of deciding, as he ought to have done, that in point of law the prac tice %vas illegal, did not express the least disappro bation of it ; but, on the contrary, thought it was quite right, and this iniquitous system bids fair to become universal. Should not the Home Secretary interfere, and put a stop to such a practice as this ? Surely, if a Magistrate be competent to commit a man for a week, he ought to be competent to first take some thing in the shape of evidence ? The defence of the practice is, that a Magistrate does not like to act singly, and so he is to be allowed to begin the business by committing for a week. The Morning Chronicle of the 12th March, devoted a leading article to this case, but sufficient importance is not attached to the existence of the practice of remanding in all cases to the next Petty Sessions,—a practice which shows more than any thing else the absolute necessity of having a com petent Magistracy in lieu of the " great unpaid." The law as to remanding as stated in the nooks is quite opposed to Lord Abinger's opinion, for it is laid down as an inflexible rule, that no time must be lost in the preliminary inquiry. In fact, in many places the Magistrate takes a deposition of the prosecutor, that a given time is necessary for him to be able to produce the witnesses, and the commitment is not beyond that time. In this same case of Cave v. Mountain, the gaoler, stated, that the prisoner was kept in solitary confinement on bread and water, according to the regulations of the gaol, which regulations are made by the Magistrates. So that no difference is made between a convicted felon and a person against whom there is as y e t no ev id ence ! OFFICIAL GENERAL RETURN OF EMIGRATION FOR 1839.

I THE LALLA ROOKH.--On Thursday last an el tertainment was given on board the fine new ship Lalla Rookh, in the London docks, by the proprietor Mr. M'Cut chtn, to a large party of gentlemen, on the eve of her depar ture on her first voyage. This beautiful vessel is intended for the Australian trade, and is bound for Port Adelaide. She is 372 tons buethen, new measurement, and fitted up in the most commodious and elegant style for passengers; and some lidea of her accommodation may be formed from the fact that no less than fifty persons sat down on this occasion in the cuddy and state cabins adjoining, with perfect ease and com ' fort. The entertainment was exceedingly sumptuous, and in admirable taste, with a profusion of the finest wines, which I were quaffed in abundance wishing success to the vessel au:l her owners. The vocal abilities of Mr. Morgan and Mr. Willing added considerably to the hi'arity of the e%ening.
