EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYED.—On Saturday last
Messrs. G. J. Cockerell and Co. (the coal merchants, of
Blackfriars) gave a dinner to the whole of the men in their
employ, with their wives. The party was conveyed to High-
bury Barn in the vans of their employers; and at four o'clock
the guests, amounting to 108 persons, sat down to a substan-
tial meal. After the cloth was removed, the bealths of the
Queen and the Royal Family were drunk with, great enthu-
siasm, and the whole of the company united in singing the
National Anthem. The remainder of the afternoon was
spent in social converse, and in toasting thevarious classes of
persons employed by thefirm. The chair was occupied by the
head of the establishment, Mr. George J. Cockerell, who by
his urbanity and affability, made every one present feel per-
fectly at ease; while the guests, by their decorous deportment
and their hearty expressions, showed how greatly they re-
spected their employer and estimated his kindness.
The solemn seemer, as a rule, will be found, more
ignoran t and shallow than those who laugh both load and
long, co ntent to hide their knowledge.— E'liza Cook's rsa.
