HAVELOCK AND HIS SOLDIERS.-,, After tne
battle of Busserat Gunge, our General passed clown the
narrow street, thronged with wearied soldiers. They, on
observing him, mied out Clear the way for the Gene-
ral 1' To this ho instantly made answer You hare
done that well already.' Never WAS compliment
more happily timed, or more warmly appreciated ;
they were literally transported with delight, praise being
the soldier's coveted reward and best stimulant. Despite
his reserved manner, no man is more capable of conciliating,
I had almost said compelling, regard than Gen. Havelock."

Major North's Journal of an Officer in India.
A BON MOT FROM THE CALEDONIAN CANAL.--
t gives us pleasure to state that the touring* routes in the
Highlands are extremely well frequented this season, and
that wit and fashion are rife on the great canal. A party
were assembled on the paddle-deck of one of the steamers
the other day, among whom were Earl Grey and a distin-
guished member of the English bar. After enjoying the
beauty of the scenery and the pleasures of conversation for
some time, the noble earl retreated from the chilly atmo-
sphere to the cabin, and while going down stairs it was
observed by one of the party that a hole had been burned
by some means or other in the skirt of his lordship's coat.
The barrister was asked whether Eatl Grey smoked, and
replied that he did not think that imbibing the sweets of
the weed was one of his lordship's enjoyments, but was
curious to know why such a question was asked. On being
told of the suspicious hole in the coat, that learned
gentleman said—"Ah 1 the noble earl has probably sat
down on one of his own speeches."-G! sqou:
