SHIP ST. GEORGE This noble ship was launch
ed yesterday In fine style, the only trouble being
that she gded from her ways half an hour earlier
than was intended, and disappointed some hundreds
OF people who were vending their way towards
her. We paid visit to her in the morning, and
found her to be splendid specimen of naval archi-
lecture. 1t would have cured the dyspepic, and

appetite, too, with which they slowed away good

them, OF bread white as the fresh snow flake, and
meats over which sturdy John Bull, with all his
gathered around the tubs OF warm coffee and pure
cold water-was reviving to behold Then, too,
the three spontaneous long and loud hurrahs which
resounded through her spacious between decks for
three more which followed equally hearty, for the
"New Workers." showed how promptly and faith

OF the capitalist upon them for a slaunch and gal
liant ship. Oae surely could not look upon such a
scene, and then upon the model Of strength, SYM
metrv, and sk!lliul workmanship before them. and
not feel an ardent desire that the ''bit of striped
bunting" which has done SO nuch for the prosperi
ty and renown OF the country. should not be ne
