THE RECENT PASSAGES OF THE GLITTER SHIPS
JOHN 0ILPN AND FLYING PIsH.
On the Goth d October and LIST Of November, 1852.
these two noble ships took their departure from New

Both ships made extraordinary passages and collect
and compare their journals for the information Of future

westward and we contend that they had followed his
route more strictly, with the winds which it was
their good fortune to have they would have made tho
shortest passage to California upon record By table

shortest actual distance to be sailed by the route for that

GOVERNOR loves SPEECH-At the dinner OF
the Irish Social and Benevolent Society held in Bal
timore on the goth March, Governor Lowe honored
the company by an eloquent address, which was en-
Enthusiastically applauded, in which he passed high
eulogium upon the virtues and amable qualities of
the "Sons Of Erin, and animadverted severely upon
the brutal policy of the English government towards
the Sister Isle, to which might be attributed the
slough of despond in which that unfortunate people
were at the present time immersed. He concluded
by calling upon his audience to remember that they
were not Saxons, Celts or Anglo-Saxons, but that
every nation Of Europe had contributed it's blood to
the formation OF our great amalgamated race-the
American people-and that we hold ourselves subor.
dinate to no European nation, acknowledge no time
honored exclusveness Of ancestry, and measure our
present duties and our future destiny by no rules
which to be found in any British or other foreign
standard of excellence.
