The Caledonia.-We saw on Saturday last,
number Of neatly dressed and fine looking
sailors, walking through our streets, with the
word Caledonia painted on their hats. On

the steam-packet Caledonia, now III this
port We further learned that Captain Nc.
kellaF. who commands the Caledonia, hos
been for many years engaged in steam nay
igatioHr' and is one Of the most able and eff.
Bffffsnr vessels. His rules and regulations
on board differ materially from the rules
and regulations Of steamships in general.
for he is q man who regulates His own acts
by deep seated moral and religious princi-
pies. He allows no profanity on board his
vessel---no qnarrelIing, no brawlihg, nor loud,
and boiSteTous language, such as is by far
too common on board all classes OF veSsels.
Bat his crew, consisting Of between 70s and
go men. all appear quiet. orderly, under good
discipline, and attentive TO their duties
Wishing his men to attend religious service
on the sabbath he gives 70 as many as can,
absent from the ship on Saturday, and pass.

ing that they must be on board before dark.
Thus last Saturday fifty Of the crew Of the,
Caledonia had permission TO absent them.

Yesterday forenoon, being Sunday. Capt.
Mcclellan, followed by abOue seventy of his
men, neatly dressed, left the packet, crossed
the harbor in the ferry boat, and proceeded
to the Bethel Church il North Square. TO al

i Il is pleasing to witness such state Of
things on board this vessel. How much

+ Dr.. Gyeen's Cure for Drunkenness
whenever you feel an inclination to drink
spurious liquor (grog) drink cool fresh wa
ter. This Is an efiectual cure and, in o.
very short time, you will make a sober man
out of the greatest drunkard. Drunkenness
(the Doctor saysl is o disease of the stom-
ach, and cool water is the remedy; for the
goodness of Providence has placed by the,
side Of every disease its appropriate RENEE
dy; and by the side Of every evil It's appro-
pirate good, let Us be thankful"
The above is very good, and We have no
doubt that it will prove cffectual, but II DOES
not seem to be MS easy to put in practice as
a remedy which we once heard an old Qua
ker recommend to man who was sosely
afflicted with intemperancc. He had been
exhorting the topper b. have off the perni-
cious habit, and was asked' by him how he
could govern himself 1t is just as easy, re-
piled the Quaker, as to open thy hand. =
