WHAT MANY PEOPLE DO, BUT NO-

BY ELIZA COOK.
. Some one, has written, " Ingratitude is a crime so
shameful, that the man was never yet found who would
confess himself guilty of it," Very true, doubtless, and
we could cite many Oahu:ices in our own limited expe-
rience, as every ono else might, in evidence of the as-
sertion. But there is another crime of less moral im-
portance
'certainly, but equally generQ commission, of
which the same might have been said with equal truth.

within the last week made a most well-intentioned re-
mark to a respected friend, touching the loudness of his
of
snoring; when, amiable as he generally is,
he jumped at once into a testy, snappish mood, and not
only flatly denied having indulged in a forty-pig-power
of snoring just then, but asserted with mendacious per-
tinacity that he had "never snored in his life." Mer-
ciful powers' inch
we have heard him scores of times
through anise-ineh party wall, and wished him in an
neighbourhood but our own. We might have
accused
him of brooking the whole of the Ten Commandments,
and he would have stood the arraignment with maps-
"„"im'itv, but he could not bear the imputation of " snor-
ing."n.' We have a young lady acquaintance who actu-
ally quarrelled with us through our ingenuous veracity

-match has beau broken off, and we earnestly trust that
our unfortunate exposition had nothing to do with the
_rupture.
Somehow, wo have always entertained a most unre
lenting antipathy to the sound of " enorinee," and wage
war with every modulation of it-efrom the full and
brersn trumpet-peal to the incipient asthmatic mur-
muring. There is scraething so totally unmusical, so
essentially unromantic in the thing. We 'can put up
with " the load laugh that speaks the vacant mind," and

We can. tolerate a squint, and even admire-
some people's one;sided views; we can forgive an un-
symmetrical mouth, and frequently get up a positive
affection for a snub nose; but the handsomest man of
our acquaintance has ruined .himself for ever in our
esteem, by permitting us to see him when snoring. Oh,
that utter idiotic stupidity! that total extinction of life's
beacon-light which marked his countenance! Never
shall we forget it!--and with Punch in his hand, too.
Only fancy a man being otherwise than " wide-a-wake"
over Punch! Surely we ought to bo ashamed of

MAJOR BERESFORD and the MORNING
CHRONICLE.
Major Beresford, at a dinner given at Braintree yes-
terday to Sir John Tyrrell and himself, made the follow-
ing assertion:— ' • _
• "The Morning Chronicle is continually,attacking me,
though I have the pleasure occasionally of sitting on the
same sofa in the same club with the editor olthat paper.
Such is the state of society, where we are subjected to
the intrusion of those who make use of all our intimate
associations, who come to the same club as ourselves,
.and who write letteraand leading articles impugning our
conduct and blackening our characters at the very same
table at. which we ourselves are engaged in pur honest
avocations." „ •

The. only observation which we think it necessary
to make on _this statement is, .that there is not one
word of truth in it from beginning to end. Neither
the editor' of this journal, nor any person who
is in any way responsible for what appears in its
columns, is a member of any club whatever; and no one
of the writers of the articles to which we suppose Major
Beresford to allude is a member of any club, .where any
fortion of, the secret election business of the 'Protets-
tionist party can possibly be conducted. We treat with
contempt the base insinuation conveyed by Major Berea-
ford's words, that any gentleman -connected with this
journal :is capable of. betraying social confidence; and
such charges are rarely. made except by men who-•are
too familiar with the 'idea of tbe detestable practices
-whiCh they so lightly'impute.' Let utadd that, if. there.

which he has, hazarded respecting ourselves, we will Von.'

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.•--The Admiral Superintendent
H. Prescott, C. 8., with Mr. Rice, Mr. Crodocb, Com-
mander Worsecold, and the foremen afloat, commenced
their annual survey of the ships in ordinary on Satur-

at 2 P.M.
liar Majesty's ship Meander, Commodore Talbot,

Rer Majesty's steam•sloop Barracouta, daring her
cruise in the Channel with the royal squadron, has
proved herself to possess greater speed than the Samp-
son, Odin, Magicienne, and Retribution. The following
are the particulars of the trip from Cowes to DOE-
mouth, and frem Plymouth to the Needles, which will
be read with interest by our nautical friends:—
Shortly after the embarkation of her Majesty, off
Osborne, at 9 30 A.M. of the 19th inst., the steamers in-
attendance on the royal yachts were ordered by signal
to rendezvous at Dartmouth, and to make the best of
-their way to that port. They forthwith proceeded at
fall speed in the following order:— •

Elfin.
Block
Megicienne.
B3rraconta.

Vivid.
Victoria and Albert. Fairy.
Odin.
Sardpson.
Retribution.

The Barracouta very soon passed the Retribution. In
about 20 minutes afterwards she was ahead of the Odin,
in another 20 minutes she was in advance of the Sampson,
and in half au hour more she passed the Magicienne.
The Sampson- was now evidently regaining her lost
ground, and in 10 minutes was abreast of the Barracouta,
retaining her position for about 20 minutes, when she
gradually dropped astern.; On the Barrabouta'a arrival
at Dartmouth the Sampson was 14 miles astern, Magi-
cimne 4 miles, Odin about 6 miles, and R.Aribution
nearly 7 miles. On the arrival of the Royal yacht, &c.,
they proceeded to Torbay, where they remained for the
night, and left the following morning for Plymouth
Sound. With the exception of the Retribution, the
Barracouta has less horsepower in proportion to her
tonnage than any of the other steamers alluded to, viz.,
the Magicionne, Sampson, and Odin, as the following
statepaent will show:—
Magleloane, 1,255 tons, 400 horse-power; proportion of
_ .

tons to one-horse power, 3.14.
&unroll, 1,297 tons, 467 horse-power; proportion of

tons to one-horse power, 2 80.
Barracouts, 1,048 tons, 300 horse-power; proportion of

Ms to one-horse power, 3.49. -
Retribution, 1,641 tons, 400 horse-power; proportion of

tuns to one-horse power, 4.10. - '
Odin, 1,310 tons, 560 horse-power; proportion of tons
to one-horse power, 2.34.
Early on the morning of the 22d inst. the squadron
about a cable's length from
assembled outside the Sound,
each other, Magie,lennc being ahead, Barracouta and
Sampson close together, 0:lin on© ship's length, and
Retribution two ships' lengths astern from this position.
At 6,20 A the signal being made to proceed for the
Isle of Wight with all dispatch, they started at full
speed, with a light breeze on the quarter, and under all
plain sail. The speed of the Barracouta was now 11:1
Magicieune. The
knots, and at 6.40 she passed the
was gradually coming
Sampson, while the breeze lasted,
up with the Barracouto, but as it failed she dropped
astern. A.t noon it tell calm, arid tho steamers furled
nil sail. 'Tiro Barracouta's Wed waS now under eleven
knots, and rhe W2S in advance of the Sart!pson three and 1
a half miles, of Msgicienne tire miles, of Win
halt miles six and
half miles, and of Rstribution nine and.
Shortly after ono o'clock the latter ship WaS so far
astern of the Barracouta as to be cut of sight, and at
three r. it. the smoke of the Odin was barely distin-
;uiiihahie. The diitacce from the point of start-
ing outside Plymouth Sound to the Needles is 108 miles,
to Yarmouth, Isle of w;gist, 112 miles. Tha Barracouta
arrived eir Yarmouth 55 minutes before the Sampson,
1 hour and 10 minutes before the Odin, 1 hour and 13
m
minutes before the Blagicienne, and 2 hours and 35 i-
flutes before the Retribution. Hera the Barracouta
stopped to :allow the other steamers to take up posaion pass through;
in two lines, for the Royal yachts to the
Retribution, however, W 53 too far astern to join them.
The tium occupied by the Barracouta in making the
passage to the Zleedles was 9 hours, showing sn average
of 12 miles an hour. She had a tide running 2 knots in
her savour for 7 hours, and against her' for 2 hours.
Making allowances for this, her actual speed through
the water was at the rate of 11 miles an hour, the en-
gines working well the whole time. The Sampson un-
questionably sails better than the Barracouta, and, had
the:wind not fallen light, would have been ahead of her.

Bunn and the music by Mr. Balk, drew,- as "it =Wit be

is based upon the popular farce of The Devil to Pay, and
- ' consists-principally of broad comedy, developed through
the agency of magic. The Countess of Wallenberg
(Miss Poole) indulges in a temper, the iighta of which
are beyond all endurence; And it is, therefore, deemed
neei,..snry by "the powers that be" to give her a salu-
tary lesson by reducing her violence to reason. The chief
of these powers is a wondrous magician (Mr. Borrani),
who makes a hireable basket-Maker (Mr. Corri), and his
wife (Miss Romer), resident near the chateau of the
tUount (51r.Travers), the instruments of his purpose. He

was encored. Indeed, the carne fete attended almost
every norceau, so that the opera may fairly be said to
bare been twice performed. The elaborate concerted
piece in which the Count receives the huntsmen and the
Countess abuses them, is fall of dramatic scoriug, and
was very steadily given, the chorus backing up the
principals with a precision and aplomb not to be al-
ways found in establishments-of more importance. An
air for the Count was also encored, and the Coun-
tcss's scolding music was so characteristic as to pro-
duce a genuine effect. • Letty's opening song—a
sprightly and melodious air, sung with breadth and vi-
gour of style—was loudly encored. The duo which
succeeds with her husband, the tipsy -Basket-maker,
is flowing and effective, end finished happily in the
climax of the polka, which formed one of the themes of
the overture. The act closes with the transformation
scene, managed to so effoctivo chorus. In the second
act, the dispute between the Basket-maker and his wife
is partially carried on in speaking—partially in very
fluent and facile musical phrases. We have then, after
an encored song from the Magician, a scents-for Lofty,
who has waked up and found herself a Countess. Tbo
