AIRS OF SENAToR.AThe Hon. Perry Smith,
one of the national Senatorial dignitares IN
whom the agrarians of Connecticut rejoice, rem
dcred himself the object Of contempt on one Of
the Sound steamboats,. When the steward of
the Boat requested payment for the Senator's
breakfast, the latter handed him half eagle.
The steward offered him in change three dol
lar note of the City Bank of New York,--a spe-
Gle bill: and one dollar and fifty cents in silver.
The bank note was Indignantly rejected by the
Senator, who proclaimed that fe would receive
nothing but specie. In vain was he told that
the note was specie bill, and that he would
soon have an opportunity of paying back the
bill to the clerk of tho boat for his passage: he
would receive nothing but specie. The stew
ard was therefore compelled to repair to thebar
and pick up driblets of silver change to accom-
modate to important Senator. In a short time
atlerwara the Senator had the satisfaction Of
counting out the same silver drlblets to pay
his passage at the captains office.-The New
York passengers were anu ed: the Connecticut
passengers were ashamed: while the Senator:
but no matter. The condition of the country
is doubtless greatly improved by this specie
operation.--.M Y. Com. .Adu.

LADIES in A DELICATE SITUATION. "A short
time ago, Turk took the ladies' cabin for his
hsrem, consisting of three wives, who were
bro't on board in appearance like SO many bun
dies of linen. During the night, which was
very stormy, a vessel tacking across the mar
row passage of the Darndenelles struck the
stern Of the schooner, and carried away her
tiiler, bulwarks, sc. The captain rushed into
the ladies' cabin, which was in the stern (whie
every one was rushing on deck, to see If any
Of the planks were stove in. He had no soon
er entered than the three ladies', wild with af-
fright, and iii all the loveliness of complete
disaabille, threw their arms around his neck
and conjured him to save them. He assures
me ne never saw three loyelier women, and The
danger of the ship was for moment forgotten
in admiration Of the long jet black tresses and
the expressive eyesof these Turkish ladies'

sons and 1872 passengers to Lubbock. The
ship caught fire about mile from Travenunde-
road. The captain had the presence of mind
to run her ashore, within 100 feet Of the land,
or they must oil have perished. AS 1t was, we
are sorry to say that three of the passengers
and two of the crew were lost. The st. Pc

able to say that Mr.. Patterson the new Mar
shall of o., "acquitted himself with much cre-

that this is not the first instance in which Mr..
Patterson has done credit to himself in an Off
cial capacity. When appointed by Gov. Lucas,
Commissioner to run the boundary line, it is
said that he ran SO much faster than bis asso-
ciates, that he not only distanced them, bnt left
great. portion of his wearing apparel in the

Her Majesty's Coronation Robes were made
by Mr.. Howe, silk weaver in Castle street,
and when taken from the loom attracted crowds
of people to axamine them. The principal robe
which is one Of the most superb pieces of man
nfacture that can be imagined, is 10 yards in
length, and of the same pattern as that worn
by George Nv. at his Coronation. Some idea
may be formed of the variety when no less than
90 different shuttles were obliged to be in work
at the same time. The principal surface ap-

and considerably raised, are Of the most mag
nfcent description.--.M Y. Gaz.
