RACE BETWEEN THE PRINCE
TON AND GREAT WESTERN.


We publish the official report made BY
Captain Stockton to the Secretary of the
Navy, of the trial of speed made Between
the Princeton and the British steamer
Great Western. The result was such
as to make it proud day for Captain
Stockton, and the country proud of hsv
ing such son. The Great Western has
long been a favorite vessel on both sides
of the Atlantic, and took precedence
with the public over all the ocean steam.
ers, for speed, skilful command, &c
The act of challenging vessel with such
an established character 10 trial of pow
ers with one which was still, in meas
ure bur an untrled experiment, was an
act of daring which few would have ven
tured on, and none who are not actuated
by that noble spirit of chivalry, for
which Capt. Stockton is SO eminently
distinguished.
There is rot any thing whatever new,
but only improvements in the arts, as ap
piled to ship building, machinery and
steam power The model of the Prince
ton is said to be as perfect as any thing
that ever hoated on water. Every one
who sees her is struck with admiration
at her perfect symmetry and graceful APP
pearance. The machinery is said to be
Of the most perfect character, in design
as we'll as in finish. The ship. the ma
chinery, and every thing connected there
with, has been originated by, and cou-
structed and executed under the inmedi
ate superintendent OF Capt. Stockton.
70 him belongs all the credit OF success,
and the renown which it sheds on the
country, for these extraordinary improve
ment in the arts; az, in the event ct a
failure, he would have been obliged to
have borne all the odium consequent
thereto. This. after the expectation of
the public had been elevated to the high
es. point, would not have been either
light or measured. Captain Stockton's
professional as we'll as scientific, repu:a
ton was staked in the result OF the expe-
riment. Thus far he has succeeded and
triunphed FAR beyond, it appears To US,
what his most sanguine expectations
could have ever anticipated, In this he
reaps a rich reward. The country, which
he has long calamity served, derives the
benefits.
This is not all. The armament and
its character are yet to be spoken of-2

How TO COOK A HusBASD.--We sus.
pect that our female friends are not
quite as well up TO cooking husbands.
as they nre many other meats, and
therefore we take the liberty OF copy
ing communication, in an English
paper, by one "Mary," which will
give them all the information neces.
sary on the subject:
Mary States that goodmany hus.
bands are spoiled in cooking. Some
women go about ii as if their lords

others keep them constantly in hot
water, while others. again freeze
them, by conjugal GOODNESS. Some
smother them in the hottest beds of

Keep them in pickle all III. lr lives
These women always serve them I'm
In sauce. Now it cannot he supposed.
that husbands will be tender and
good, managed in this way, but thew
arc on the contrary, quite delicious
when preserved. Mary points out
her manner, thus:
