[The editor of the Nautical has fallen into a very common
error in calling these steam-ships Mr. Cunard's vessels.
The ships are the property of the British and North
American Royal Mail Steam-packet Company. The design-
ing of the vessels and the management of them from the
commencement have been conducted by gentlemen in
Glasgow and Liverpool. The contractors for carrying the
mails to North America are S. Cunard, of Halifax; George
Burns, of Glasgow ; and David M`lver, of Liverpool.]

Two handsome silver salvers have been presented to the
Hon. and Bev. P. R. Grey, M.A., by his
partshioners at
Buxton, as a memorial of respect, on hisremoval to the
rectory of Morpeth, Northumberland.
The following musical festivals will take place in Sep tem -
ber :—Norwich, under the direction of Professor Taylor;
Newcastle, under the direction of Sir Geo, Smart; and
Worcester, under the direction of Mr. Surman. The Read-
ing festival will take place in October.
A most characteristic anecdote of a high-tying " Reformer',
was elicited last week during the examination of witnesses on
the Newcastle-under-Lyme election petition. The reader
will recollect that Mr. Harris, the Liberal member for New-
castle, was unseated a few months ago for brMer ; but had
the assurance to present himself to the " enlightened" Re-
formers—in the face of repeated notices of disqualification
that were published during the contest—and was returned
once more by a narrow majority. This reckless conduct is
at last explained. Mr. Harris declared at the time of elec-
tion " That it was the toss-up of a halfpenny ichether he
was eligible or not, but if he got a Whiy chairman, all
would be right ,s &c.—Really, Mr. Harris, this is " too bad."
The bitterest opponent of Liberalism never made a more
cutting and merciless attack upon it than this !
