a Compliment for the Tribune.

1t is not often that we deem it proper to
burden our columns with Iestnonials in favor
of our political disputants. We copy the fol-
lowing endorsement of the abolitionism of the
Tribune from Rev. Austin Wiley Of the Port
land Inquirer -
CoRREcTIoN.-On account Of i'll health we
could not properly correct our "proof' last
week, and the Bath Tribune was spoken of in
place of Bath Ifmcs-a very thing. We re-
greet the error, for the Tribune is a humane and
loOrthy paper.
OF course zoe feel we'll at being called &c a
very thing" from such quarter. We shall
grow on that. A " very thing!" Of course,
that means something tangible something TO
stand upon. Some newspapers are nothing
but shadows-we are more, ca thing ~
Ahem Keep out Of Our way. We are able
to strike" very thing" Good. We trust
the Tribune as fully appreciates its part of the
compliment. AS soon as Mr.. Garrison of the
Boston LiJerator, gets up his compliment to
the humane and aoOrthy character of the Tri-
bune, we shall publish it free Of charge.

all Of whom seemed to enjoy the occasion.
The most attracting feature Of the perform
ance was the g Kitchen Of 49," room fitted
up with antique furniture and, if possible,
more antique personages, representing kitch-

amount taken, was $225-$25 of which was

DANGEROUS COLLISION OF THE STEAMER
WAsHINGToN.-On the night of the 18th uIt,
as the steamer Washington was on her voyage
from New York to Bremen, when in the Eng
lish channel, between Dover and Calais, she
was run into by brig with such force that it
buried its bow spirit in her hull, and made two
immense holes, but which were fortunately
high above water mark. The officers did not
lose their presence Of mind and the first
thing done was TO post watch near the boats,
armed with loaded pistols, to shoot any one
who should try to seize upon them without an
order from the captain, who was himself sus-
pended on ropes above the water for four
hours, experimenting the repair of the damage
that had been done. 1t is not known what be-
came Of the brig, as she instantly disappeared
in the darkness.

sympathies were aroused, and instead Of hand
ing him over to the law, he gave him some
good advice in regard to his future conduct,
and backed it up with sufficient money to re-
lieve immediate necessities, and sent him out
Of the house with some different notions from
those he entered with. And this is the sequel.
A few days since the gentleman was ac-
costed by young man whom he did not rec

acknowledged his obligations for the advice
then given him, and stated he had at once act
