SPECIMEN OP THE BATHOS.—At ameeting'of the Mechanic's
Institution in Greenock lately, the Rev. Mr. Jeffrey of the Re-
lief Church; who averred that he had equal pleasure in address-
ing "the ploughman with his horny hnof(be must have meant
the ploughman's horse,) and the unwashed mechanic," stated
the cause of Britain's glory in the following terms---"Thiscoun-
try has been ennobled above all other things by the refining of
sugar!" Surely Mr. Jeffrey must have a great attachment to a
good cup of flowqua's tea.
CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.—An Irish friend of ours, who had
been long connected with the parliamentary reporting depart-
ment of the press, about eleven years since determined to trans-
fer his talents to Paris, awl previous to his departure called in
at the gallery of the House of Commons to say adieu to his old
companions, at which time he left Joe Hume speaking on the
slave trade. Last week he turned on a flying trip and again
entered the gallery, when, to his astonishment, the first voice he
heard was that of the said Joe Horne, still harping on the same
subject. "My God!" he exclaimed, "hasn't he dune yet?"

THE SHIPPING AND MERCANTILE GAZETTIL—ThiIjOUTRRI,
published in a morning and evening edition, contains all the
information essential for merchants and shipowners.. who may
be desirous of possessing.early intelligence. In every English
and foreign port, where it is practicable to procure Intelligent
and active correspondents, the Shipping Gazette hat lavished
capital, influence, and energy. We are glad to find that the
spirited proprietors have succeeded in establishing this really
valuable paper in every seaport town.
UNPRECEDENTED SPEED.—We have heard of quick passages
by steatii• vessels, but the speed of the' Royal 'William. on her
last trip from London, surpasses any thing of the kind that has
ever reached our ears. l'hat splendid vessel arrived from
• tornlon• this morning, and we are informed by:a passenger, that
she .wiis only•fittt-seven hours steaming until she arrived in
Kinzstown Hatlit;ur, having touched at Falmouth and Prymouth
on her voyage. The run from Plymouth to Falmouth (forth-five
tulles) was most extraordinary, having been performed in three
hOurs; and from Falmouth to Kingstown Harbour, a distance
of 260 miles, in the unprecedented short space of twenty-three
hours.—Dublin Past.
