of NO person who has ecently been guilty OF such
black ingraiitude, as theonc known TO this commn
pi,v M Capt Hosken. Were il on his own account
only we should let him sink into The mertcd obscu-
rty he deserv and will ere long find; but our du,y
70 the mmuniiy here demands OF US that we should
appeal TO the Great Western Company TO discard this
man from their employ or at least reduce him TO the
level and pay of mate. until he can learn better
MANNERS hN
And we do this because we saw, al dinner gwen
nj Br sol, the thanks Of the Company were voted to-
sais man en- account of his conciliailng conduct
whilst he was in New York. Now then e, US ana
lise The coacatng conduct OF this most c0nciiiating
captain As soon as he arrived in our barber, he was
boarded by Cisco, the news collector for the Evening
Star; he took up las speaking umpct and threaten.
Cd 10 knock him overheard; Cisco told him If he
stBsck taat he weuld drag the gallant and conca,ing
captain overheard with him; whcreupon he did not
strike. He then threatened sink the boat COM
manded by Mr. Robert Si.ve. These were two OF his
acts of cancellation before he had made fast at the
wharf.
He then detained all the papers and letters FOR
vera hours and by this means the dispatches for the
British minister At Washington were kept over for "a
hours. These were some of his shore arrangements.
What his arrangements on board OF his ship
know not; we only know that from some miserable
arrangement or other on board that boat The head
eng neor was scaded 10 death. We Of course caa',
cell hut we hardly think tina, this, or the subseq en
" dangerous accident on the passage home, was Ow
ne 10 the captains Cancellation.
OF his various other similar acts of Cancellation,
Asnoreds and thousands of our injured and insued
citizens can testify. He insu!ted grossly the ladies
of Now York, by pretending that they could all see
his ship five hours. between eleven and four in one
day Hundreds and hundreds of bonnels and dresses
were nsred that day, and the loss in wearing apparel
and doctors bills sufficient 10 build second
Great Western. The whole thing was most m sera-
bly managed and Captain HI. was cursed for the
10 HE hearts content.
He and his off ,ers were then invited by the enter
prsing a nd warm hearted young gentlemen who form
our boat clubs to visit the club boats al Castle rden
After much persuasion they condescendcd GO. They
cav them, and left the place excaiming-" they are
poor affairs but they're like every thing American"
The fact that they strangers prevented our young
men from ducking these glld-laeed etruttng cox
combs seundly in he river.
Mr.. Byrne, respectable merchant Of &c South
street, supplied the ship with champagne. Hosken
sent for him and brayed out, "Haloo you, sir what
s,uf Is this you sent me- this Jole brand-ihis id
Yankee brand--,ake it away, and let me have some
psed European stuff He strutted on change like
swelling turkey cock, with his goldlace uniform cont,
and white gloves Hewas polite TO no simplerepsbi-
can but Licked the du.t before every arlsocra,ic for
ssner.
The last act OF Cancellation he committed previous
10 leaving our shores the first time was TO d-n the
ewes Of Col Webb and himself, lin our prcsencs,) be-
cause Col Webb simply asked him, with fathers
natural sociiude TO let another boat take his two
Aeys ashore, the Providence being crowded TO dan
gerous degree.
On his return 10 this city he was equally conciiiat
ing Captain Pennoyer, Of the Neptune sent him a
polite note Hosken, in the plenilude Of his pomps
uty and cancellation, oisdained to answer this An
ex. member OF the British parliament persuaded Pen
aoyer to go to see the Great Western. On the gang
plank they insulied by the first officer, who cali
ed ou', Ego ashore, y on id Yankee loafers."
Capt Pennoyers friend explained, and said, 81 don't
wan, to come on board myself but this gentleman is
Capt. Pennoyer master Of the steamboat Neptune

ID for all the captains Of all the steamboats, in The
country" was the eoncihating reply. swell" said
Capt. p. "Ill leave my card for Capt Hosken" The
con- ting answer was, capt Hosken says you
may 20 to hell with your cards!-we don't have no
ching to do with No cards here, so clear Of the gang
plank" Capt. Pennoyer, who told US the story OBJ
served in conclusion, IL never was so mortified in
nay life"
DR.. Leven called on US to say that he was grossly
insul,ed in q similar manner, as was the chief mate
Of the packet ship United States. So was Mr.. Hut
Goa, Of the Barge office-Water OF the Boston Tran
SCRIPT and hundreds of others. The Insulting sco1n-
1rcls on board the Western sent ladies trudging
through the streets TO SO Front street, breng hot
over head, thermometer up to IS, telling them
they could get cards Of admission there when they
reached the agents Office they found they had been
hoaxed. Numbcrless other manly acts these fellows
played that they will never be allowed TO play again
upon Yankees whatever they may do ut home TO their
fslIow counlrymen.
Bat the best trick was aged them BY Tom FLYNN.
He had received tickets Of admission TO 10 on board

Snowden and the agents He went and was refused
Whilst there, pompous struttcd up and was re-
fused. "You must not refuse me-" said the great
man. .I'm m Gag sh Baronet-sm George Bur

The mighty man was admitted sans cersmosis.-
Flynn saw the move, snd nothing dsanled, took on,
