EDITORIAL PLEASURES —A gentleman, cal

little, educated at Harvard University, and a native of
Connecticut, was transplanted south to edit a violent

ence in preventing the freedom of speech. He held his
situation six months; was stabbed twice, shot three times,

but he congratulated himself from never having been
kicked. He retaliated upon his tormentors by shootinz
two of them as dead as doorposts, and then he departed
for more peaceful latitudes. A New. York paper declares
this is a fact.—Montreal Courier.

The experimental squadron passed Falmouth to the
westward on Thursday at 4 p.m., in splendid style, with

hey consis'

of three three-deckers, four two-deckers, and four steam-
ers ; the last under canvass only, as well as the former. A
large two-masted steamer, with thirteen sails set, was eon-
siderably in advance of all the fleet; a three-decker with
a broad pendant, and a three-masted screw steamer (close
together) were nest; and a threeLdecker (without a com-
modore's flag) was the sternmost of the lines ; whilst, two

schooner steamers (one with two funnels) were a mile or
two astern of all. All the sailing ships were under simi-
lar and easy canvass, and during the period occupied en
passant from off Pendennes to the Manacles were busy in
exchanging signals; they appeared to haul to the south-
ward and westward from Falmouth.

VEnr:Tiktsin HISTORY.—About 1595, we find entered
in the household book of the Cliffords, kept at Skipton
Caste York, a sum of eleven shillings " for six cabbages
and some caret roots bought at Hull." These were then
imported from Flanders, whence even Queen Catherine,
in the reign of Henry VIII., had her salads. Potatoes
and turnips, so far from being a field crop, were not ge-
n-rally known even to the gardener until the reign of Eli-
zabeth.

A CASE PUT.—Let us put a case. Let us suppose a
most tnild and benevolent Roman Catholic clergyman in
the north of Ireland savagely murdered; let us suppose
bim a person who bad never interfered in politics, so as
to draw down upon himself any marked displeasure, and
who had given of his substance indiscriminately to all who

were in want ; let us suppose the miscreant Orangeman,
by whom he was waylaid when on a mission of charity,
arrested ; let us suppose the charge proved against him,
so that no human being could entertain a doubt of his
guilt; let us suppose that the jury, nevertheless, upon
some point which does not touch the merits of the case,
acquit the prisoner; let us suppose that upon his enlarge-
ment he is surrounded by exulting friends, and that lifting
his arm with fiendish joy, he exclaims, " there's the haud
that done the job ;" let us suppose this ruffian returniug
to his native villgge, all inhabited by brother Orangemen,

and that this village is it. tits approach, as if
