CAPTAIN HOLDER ALLEYIN E.—We understand from
good authority that this gentleman is, in the most honourable
manner, discharging his turf liabilities, and tendering 5 per
cent. in compensation for the delay which neculiar circum-
stances rendered him unable to prevent. The money due to
the captain is, we believe, fully equal to the aggregate
amount of the claims upon him; and we trust we shall have
the satisfaction to announce that his own strict sense of
honour has had a corresponding effect on all who are indebted
to him. —Sunday Times.

his friends that his wife was his greatest blessing, since she
was a never ceasing monitor of patience, from whom he
learned so much within his own doors that all the crosses he
met with elsewhere were light to him.—. American Paper.
