A GRATIFYING FACT

The New York Courier and Enquirer informs
us that the packet ship Europe, which sailed on
the first for Liverpool, were to man, shipped
without receiving the usual advance of wages,
preierIng to await the return of the ship to this
port without consuming any portion of their earn
lngs This fact, says the Courier, furnishes the
most conclusive proof of the improved character
OF our seamen, and we hope to see so wise and
prudent an example followed up by other vessels.
This gratifying state of things has been produced
no doubt by the untirng efforts of the Temperance
and Seaman's Home Societies, that have exerted
themselves for these hardy and useful men, who
before were looked upon as separate class of
beings, and were turned over to the worst charac-
