Lord Howe, whilst admiral of the

ness, that the officers of his own ship de-
clined to drink his health at their mess.
This was sort of modification to the

took the ingenious mode of doing in the
following way -" Hyou please, gentle

Amongst the fuctuating prices OF
Stocks, a correspondent observes, few
|have been more changeable than the,
Washington Bridge and Turnpike Road
Stock. 1t has been fiat during long
summer, and again advanced when the
Washington Races approached ; but
since the Races, were unfortunately
changed to Bladensburg last autumn'
there has been no price, until the Elec-,
ton of the Honorable John Randolph OF
Virginia, to seat in the next Congress -
since which, we understand, this Stock
has advanced in price, ~ ! per cent.
The Virginia Folks have never yet had a
correct account of the last Bladensburg
Races, the Purse was upwards of -Four
Millions, many of the coursers started
before the word, some without it, others
boltcd, some run over the Bridge, some.
under it, and others missed it entirely,
and Congress were unable last Session to
threw any light upon the subject. How
ever, curiosity viii now be gratifed, as
we expect Mr.. Randolph will let his Con-
stituents and the world know who won
the Races, and what has become of the
Purse, and the Public anxiety to hear the
Investigation will probably enhance the
price of those Stocks to s5 2-s per cent
before Christmas.
