From an English Paper Teetotallsm at Her Majesty's Table.

A British peer, when dining lately, with the Queen, was challenged by Royal Duchess to take wine with her. His lordship politely thanked her Grace, but declined the comnli- ment, stating that he never took wine. The Duchess immediately turned to the Queen. and jocularly said: Please, your Majesty, here is Lord, who declines wine at your Maies tvs table," Every eye was turned to the Queen, and not a little curiosity was evnced as to the manner in which the total abstainer would be dealt with by royalty. With smiling and graceful expression, Her Majesty replied, There IS no compulsion at my table,"
 This recalls an incident which occurred some years slnce on board one of the New York and Liverpool liners. The birthday of the sover- elgn was celebrated with unusual hlarity at dinner. The cloth having been removed, the President, after predatory remarks in which he took occasion to say that the toast he was about to propose, he was certain that every person present would respond with bumper cave " The Queen!" Among those present was a Scotchman, resident of this country. It was perceived that he had drank but part of his wine; thereupon fre-eating young English man rose and said, "I regret to perceive, Mir. President, that person present has sighted your request and the sentiment you proposed. l beg leave sir, to repeat the toast, and if it meets with repetition of the insult, shall deem 1t my duty to resent it." The glasses were re6lled, and all rose to drink to it "with the honors," but the Scotchman, who kept his seat and drank no wine. As soon as the toast had been properly washed down and cheered, the volunteer champion of her Majesty remark ed audibly that he would call him out for it. To which the Scotchman replied: "You may call me out, but will not come out-but if YOU insult me, will immediately give you the sorest thrashing you ever had in all your life." This was said in such cool but determined tone and manner, that every one knew he would be as good as his word, and it was equal ly evident from his physique that he could do It with the greatest ease. The effect upon the whole company was electrical He was hear- tily applauded, and in reply to good-natured remark from the President, said he trusted the day would never come when the measure of a persons loyalty would be the amount he drank flor some years observation in different quar- ters of the world had satisfied him that the less man drank of intoxicating liquors, the better citizen, man or christian he became.- The young Englishman at once made the anaende Honorable, and learned at the same time a salutary lesson in temperance and good man. neY.

Truthful-Very Truthful.

The Baltimore correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune, alluding to the disposition manifested by the American people to ape the manners and customs of the aristocracy of Flu rope, reads a wholesome lesson to the votaries of fashion and extravagance, which merits the deep attention of every portion of our coun- try. Besides the anti-republican character of the displays to which he alludes, and the vice and immortality engendered by extrava- gance the entire nation must more or less feel its effects. He says
 We have been living too fast I saw a young lady the other day who exhibited a pocket handkerchief magnifcently worked, that she paid one hundred dollars for and another who wore veil costing five hundred dollars. It Is not at all uncommon to see these luXuries

Miss A. is told that Miss B. has been out shop ping and gotten so and so. Miss B. is not to be outdone and she shops the next day, out shining them all. Her father is reported rich. his credit good, and thus bills are swelled to an irNerminable length. Fast young men, too, go it upon the same high pressure principle-fast horses, fine dogs, costly guns, buggy driver, and other appendages must be had. Money gives out, and there is no reproduction. Idle ness absorbs life and all else. "By pride, an- gels have fallen" So says Claude Melnotte most truthfully; and to this system of false pride may be traced ten thousand evils. A day of reckoning has to come. Credits run out, bills must be paid, and perhaps we find the parents of these extremely fashionable and tilnorous young ladies and their brothers ground to the very earth, stripped to the girt, passing sleep less nights and miserable days, to raise the means to pay for such abominable extravagan. ces.

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-A party in Wheel ing, Va, put in charge of the agents of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company large number of live hogs, for Baltimore, which, by regular course of train, would have reached that city when prices were good The hogs were detained at Cumberland more than ten days after the time they should have been transported, for want of cars. Another con- plaint was, that being too much crowded, many died and others depreciated greatly in value. Verdict for the plaintiffs for $2,15O damages.

PATRIARCH LOCATED. A clergyman, preaching sermon on some particular patri- arch, was extremely high in his panegyric, and spoke of him as far exceling every saint in the calender. He took view of the celestial hierarchy, but in vain; he could not assign to his saint place worthy so many virtues as he possessed; every sentence ended thus:
 "Where, then, can we place this great patr- arch?'

FA letter from San Francisco relates GU : rious incident that occurred there recently. Her Britanic Majesty's exploring ship Plover arrived at San Francisco short time since, from the Polar Sea, where she had been ce-bound since 1846:
 When she left San Francisco, some years ago, 1t was mere trading station, resorted to by a few vessels in pursuit of hides and the town or place contained only few adobe houses. The captain and crew expected to find the same San Francisco in 1854 that they left in 1847. The captain therefore sailed into the bay without a pilot, and approached the city in the evening. He was much amazed at the numerous lights he saw. When he awoke from his dream o1 seven years, the next morning, he found no. ble city occupying the site of the ancient Sar

The Superior Court on Saturday decided In
fill bench. with only one Judge dissenting, that
the New Haven Railroad Company are respon-
sible for the fraudulent stock issued by Robert
SCHUYLER. as President and Transfer Agent,
and that the holders of that stock have
The same rights as other stockholders. Ihis
we think will be universally recognized as
a lust Judgment. Common sense pr0claims
that the Company should answer for the acts
of the agent whom it clothed with the anplest
powers and provided with the means ana
opporturities of such enormous fraud, and
not the public and those accidental holders Oh
the stock who bad no motive for extraordinary
or impossible caution. The case may be carried
to the Court of Appeals, but we can hardly be-
lieye that this decision can BIZ reversed. We
pre- sumo, however, that there will be no further
litigation 10 the premises, since it is expected
that the Legislature of Connecticut will em-
power the Directors to admit the disputed stock,
which it is understood they are now willing to
do as soon as they have tho authority requisite
in that State to render the transaction perfectly
regular.
The opinions delivered by the Judges on Satur-
dsy will be found ia another part of this paper.

Those who have read our report of the excel
lent address which the Rev. Mr.. Starr delivered
at tie Tabernacle the other evening, on the in
sufficiency of the efforts which the North has
yet made to secure Kansas to Freedom, will be
happy to learn that he may be heard again at the
same place to. morrow evening, when he will
speak upon the outrages perpetrated in that re-
gion by the mob under the lead of Stringfellow
and AtchsOn. He will describe what he has
himself seen and experienced. Mr.. Patterson,
one of the editors of The ParkriUe Luminary,
which was suppressed by the same mob, will
also be present and address the meeting. 1t
will be an occasion of unusual interest. Both
the speakers are men who tell their story in
forcible and straightforward style, and those
who hear them will be entertained as well as in
structed upon the most important issue now be-
fore the American people.
