The Anniversary Dinner at the Marine Society, on
Thursday, the Duke of Clarence, among other obser-
vations, observed, that when he commanded a 28 gun
-frigate on the Cork station, he lauded in that city. The
guard of honour of the 58th regiment, by which he was
. received, was commanthsl by a lieutemeat. That lieute-
nant was the present Duke of Wellington, and, strange
to tell, the first time his Royal Higtmess met him after-
:wards, was at dinner with the 'Queen, when he had
become a Knight of the Garter, a Duke, and the great-
e4 General of the age. This circumstance his Royal
• Highness mentienedls show, that in this country merit
'would carry individuals to the highest stations ; and,
in the course of his own. professional services, he had
• known many other proofs of the same truth.

.Atrectsere.—A soldier, who had the good fur-tone to
-elope unhurt from the late explosion of the steam-
packet at Norwich, on finding himself in. the wuter, and
having only a day's leave, immediately swam back to
eoe of the other vessels of the same description, ascended
bcr deck, apologized for the bid plight iti which he ap-
leered, and begged leave, as he had been disappointed
• of his passage in one, that he taight obtain it in the
other.—lf this soldier had been a man of rank, and had
-shown en equal devotion to his duty, his conduct would
probably deseena to posterity, to be quoted for ever as
an instanoe of gseatness of mind. At any rate, the ce-
lebrated Pompey, both in his life-time, and repeatedly
.." in modern ages, has received the highest eulogiums for
a proceeding not a whit more splendid than this almost
• unknown action of a nr.meless soldier. Loril Bacon
thus tells the story in his apophthegms :—" Pompey
being commissioner for sending grain to Rome in time
of dearth, when he came to the sea, fJund it very tem-
,pestuous and dangerous, insomuch that those about him
advised him by no means to embark ; but Pompey said,
It is of necessity that I go, not that I live!"
There is a sewer in the Regent's Park, which, on ac-
count of the want of proper fences, has lately been the
cause of several accidents. A man fell in IM Wednes-
day last, and was drowned. The jury and coroner that
eat on the body recommended that fences should be
erected as soon as possible.
