ANECDOTE OF' SIR GEORGE CoLLIER.-k,,
ApT. FcAtS,
of the Royal Navy, who was Firit Lieutenant of the
LEANDER, under Sir Glance CoLLIER's command;
when blockading the American ft igate Constitution, iii
Boston harbour, relates the following anecdote of this
gallant and lamented Officer :-A fishing-boat came off
with several Americans, who asked permission to visit
his Majesty's ship, which was immediately granted: Sir
Cieortoz Cot.r.tett and myself accompanied them round
the decks, when one of them observed--" You are
at larger-ship; but I do nat think your men are so stout
as ours -oil board the Constitution:" To which Sir
GEORGE made teply-" They may be very little, but
their hearts are in the right place t and I will thank you
to inform the American Captain, that if he will come'
out and meet the LEANDF.R,.I will !ledge my word and
hofiour that it° British ship .hall be within itVenty
leagues ; and further, it my ship. mcnints more guns than
the Constitution, I will throw the additior:d ones over.
hoard." This challenge the American, .rho appeared
to be an Officer, promised to convey; but I do not asset t
that the Ametican Commander ever received it.
Some Officers of the 10th-nor rather some persons in the eosthme
of that Regiment, were not many weeks sit:te invited to a party
given by a Lady of fashion residing in one of the squares in Dub-
lin. The invitation was accepted, and the Lady, aaxioris to lose no
opportunity of contributing to the entertainment of her guests, seeing
these affected cozci.mini standing aloof from the social circle, and
appearkpg to look discontented, asked them to join the dance. The
stiff an conceited reply was, " The 10th dot'tduate." She then
asked them to go to the card table. The reply was, The 10th
don't play at cards." The Lady, even after the.se ridiculous replies,
still anxious to please them, asked them to join the party in the
music-room ; " The 10th duset like music" was the reply. The
Lady naturally chagrined at such Impertinence, left them to Mat
for themselves till supper time. (hi supper being announced the
expected the 10th wont.' be consittent in their negative character,
but having mote regard for their appetite th in their consistency;
they were proceeding to the supper vaunt, when the Lady said in a
loud tone, she supposed the 10th did nut sap. The gentlemen went
.ff, regretting the loss of their supper. .
' CORN-EXCHANGE. MARK-LANE. MARCH 29.
' The arrivals of last week Were again tolerabiy gocd, but of. Oats
they were very large. This morning there Is ot4 a moderate quan-
tity of Wheat, Barley,, Brans, and Peas, from Essex, Kent, and
Suffolk, and but few vessels fresh bp wph (MS; so that the Mar-
het today is botuposed chiefly of good quantities of Corn which re-
main over from former supplies. Pilule dry samples of Wheat have
sold freely, and rather exceeded the terms of last Monday; but all
other qualities sell heavily. Barley, for malting, fully supports the
rates last quoted. Beans have no variation in value from this day
se'nnight. Grey Peas fully rapport their la•t quotations. Boiling
Peas are very dull. Prime Oats sell more freely, and the quota-
tions of last Monday are fully maintained for this article. The
-Grain-trade is unaltered.
