Thursday last a very interesting Lecture was given on the
subject of Chemical Affinities. —Bath Journal.--{N. B.
In another' Bath Paper we find announced the marriage of
a Mr. J—, chemist and druggist, with a Miss P—.
Quere—ls this also an instance of " Chemical Affinity ?"
The day after the appointment of the new
Chancellor was known in Dublin, Counsellor H n met
a brother barrister, on his return after a few days' absence
from Dublin, who eagerly inquired if there was any news.
Anv news," said the Counsellor ! " Hear me now, hear '
me now, my dear fellow, there is news ; a Chancellor has
been appointed." " A Chancellor !" replied the other,
4, and not Lord P . Bless me ! and is it all over ?"
"It is," replied the Bakrister. 44 It is all over, and ' the
ohild's name is Anthony.' "—Cork Southern Reporter.

At the last Assizes in `Athy, the Crier of the
Court, who had been Lor'd PLuNgErr's servant, unaccus-
tonwd to the manner of making proclamations, and having
a thick Northern accent, became as much confused in man-
ner as unintelligible in speech, when at length, not know-
ing what to do, he turned to Counsellor Glt NY DON, who
stood near him, and asked what will I say, Sir? `Mr.
GRAYDON, in his usually grave andr impressive tone, an-
swered-say " unaccustomed as I am to public speaking."
The Crier, in this instance at least, evinced some smart-
ness; for he readily and correctly repeated what the Coml.-
,ellor prompted him,- to the mingled surprise and amuse-
toent of the whole Court.—Cork Southern Reporter.

COURAGE.--On Thursday bight, while a
spirited north country blade was passing along at the back
of the Castle, he was saluted by two fellows in such a style
as--:your purse or a pummelling. The norlan' treated their
threats and request with the utmost contempt—the row
commenced, and he belaboured them both heartily. In a
few minutes the Police made their appearance—the thieves
fled, and the honest man was taken to the office. After
he had been locked up for some time, lie mentioned that
he was well 'known at the White Hart Inn,• and he was
immediately ,escorted thither by an officer. While relating
the circumstance to some friends, he said, "they gat six-
teen or seventeen shillings aff me, but fat the teevil did
they think I was gaun to let awa my five pun note? na,
faith a ; I feught them bait'', and pied them baith sair
heads. See thee!" displaying his gory fists, and showing
that the bark was knocked off most of his knuckles. He
then waved his five pounder in triumph RY his head, and
treated himself and his friends to. another bumper of Mr.
Hottsuu R a n's best Glenlivet.--s6tsMatt.

PORTSMOUTH, 'Nov. 17.—,0n Thursday his Majesty's
frigate the Briton, Captain the Hon. Wm. Gordon ; And
the Hayden transport, Lieut. E. T. Gill, Agent, arrived
from Quebec, the former in.lB, the latter in 27 days. The
Briton left Spithead on the 4th of September, lauded at
St. John's, Newfoundland, Mr. Brenton, Chief Justice of
that Island, and a detachment of the Newfoundland Ve-
teran Battalion, and arrived thence at Quebec on October
IS, in 17 days, with Commissioner Barrie, C. 8., ap-
pointed to superintend, with the rank of Commodore, the
naval service en the Lakes of Canada, and a complex.►ent of
Officers for a ship on Lake Ontario. A ship is to be put
into commission on each of the Lakes. Lieutenant
Douglas, of this service, had been promoted to the rank of
Commander. All was tranquil in the. province. The
Governor-General (the Earl of Dalhousie) hail just re-
turned to Quebec, for the winter, after a tour of inspection
in Upper Canada, the Rideau Canal, and the great opera-
dons which are in rapid progress under Colonel By, of the
Royal Engineers. The Earl of Dalhousie is extremely po-
pular among all ranks and persuasions, and his 'government
is in the most flourishing condition. The troops in the
country were very healthy, viz. the 15th Regiment at
Kingston, 65th Regiment at York, 71st Regiment at
Montreal, and the 66th and 79th Regiments at Quebec.
The Hayden, at sunset, on October 26, in lat. 45. 7.

. -
N., long. 48. 37. W., discovered an iceberg bearing East,
about two miles distance, drifting N.E. about two knots.
Its height was that of the mast-head of a three-decked ship,
forming two sugar loaves. It must have broken away
from Hudson's Straits in violent N.E. and E. gales, which
must have continued for some time to have drifted such a
huge congealed mountain so far to the southward. The
wpearance of it is described as sublime.
On Sunday the Alert, 18, Captain S. Burgess, sailed for
the South American station; and the Procris, 10, Captain
Hon. Vim. Waidegrave, arrived with seamen from Chat-
ham : she returned thither on Tuesday. On Monday the
Stork cutter, Lied. Mottley, returned to the Leith station.
On Thursday the Sapphire, 28, Captain Henry Duudas,
and the Onyx, Lieut. Cole, arrived from Plymouth; the
Arrow, Lieutenant Brooking, sailed on a cruise; the Bri-
ton came into Harbour.—Remain: Sapphire, Satellite,
and Tagus, Portuguese.. In the Harbour : Victory, Re-
venge, Melville, Maidstone, Briton, Britomart, and Perola,
Portuguese.
The Undaunted frigate, Captain Augustus Clifford,
C. 8., is expected to call at this port tomorrow, on her
way to Plymouth, to embark Lord Wm. Bentinck and
suite, for Calcutta. The Satellite, 18, Captain .1. M.
Laws, will sail to- morrow morning for the Cape of Good
Hope, Mauritius, and Trincomalee, to join the squadron on
the East India station.

We are sorry to learn that the Briton spoke, on Satur-
day last, the ship Lloyds, out sixty-four days, from Sierra
and
de.°omf fneve"rd;e r and-in thath; e
Leone, bound to Milford, the master of which stated, that
on the day previous to his sailing, Major-General Sir Neil
Cw.aesmtepbrenll,CimGstoso,efrAnofiric37
of his Majesty's ships North Star and Ellen, then lying at
Sierra Leone, were very sickly. The Lloyds lost all her
crew whilst in the port. The Briton did not board her—
only gave a supply of provisions and water by her boat.
On Monday last, a Court Martial was held en board
his Majesty's ship Victory, to try Commander Robert
Deans, of his Majesty's ship Clio, for having run that sloop
on shore off the Coquette Island, on the Coast of Northum-
berland, on the 9th ultimo, whereby she, lost her rudder
,ind two anchors and Cable!. The charge was specially
2,Tounded on the first article of the fifth section of the rent
Naval Instructions, which runs thus--" On all occaaions,
where a ship is in pilot water, or• in the neighbourhood.ef
the land, of rocks, or of shoals, the Captain is to take par-
ticular care that the hand-lead be kept constantly going.
vhether the pilot, or the master, thinks this precaution ne
,essary or not ; and if it shall appear that a ship has bee❑
brought into danger of running on shore, or has been
wrecked, by a:neglect of. this precaution, the Captain will
held responsible for it." The Court havit,R. heard
:ominander Deans's narrative, and evidence of all the eir-
.umstances, agreed, that the charge of a neglect pf this in-
-truction had been proved against Commander Deane ; but
in consideration of his high character in the service, and
his attention to every other part of his duty, did adjudge
him only to be reprimanded, and admonished to be more
•areful in future. Mr. Sam. Birt; Master of the Clio,
.vas afterwards tried, for a neglect of the 22d Article of
his Instructions, which also refers to keeping the lead go-
ing in pilot-water; when he was, in consideration of the
ood character given him by his Captain, only repriinand-
..ll, and admonished to be more careful in future. The
Court was composed of Captains—Norborne, Thompson
I(President), Sir M. Seymour, K.C.8., H. Hill, Hon,
George Elliot, and Commander Thomas Moneke Mason.-..-
