turning to this country. She will probably take
possession of her young and beautiful daughter, now
living in Baltimore with her fathers relations. The
late Henry Elliot had about $50 or $4,000 whel
Celeste left him-but it has been sadly deprecated
during the last few years by the failure of the U.

Yesterday morning lady and gentleman, took
boat and made visit to the two foreign ships of
war now lying near the Battery. They first went

antry and poieness by the officers on the quarter
deck. They were shown every part of the ship
the machinery-the ward rooms--and although the
gallant French officers could only speak very lit
tie broken English, they contrlved TO make the visit
extremely agreeable. On leaving, they were at.

ness.
Now mark the contrast. The same lady and gen.
tleman made visit TO the British ship of war, War

ed in a gruff voice The gentleman replied that he
was private individual, and had not prepared him.
self with card After some grumbling they were
admitted on board ; but not an officer stirred from
the quarter deck. The visiters were permitted to
find their own way round the ship while the British
officers stared at them from distance and the pet
ty officers talked how easy it would be for the War
spite to whip the North Carolina, in spite of her
many guns.
This Is a very characteristic incident, indicating
the British and French manners to a title.
