CATION. We do not remember any notable necian-
ical enterprise gtich has had the aid OF so much
dsrcipg srd drilling and dining. The otii;ers OF
all tie American chips detailed for the enterprise
hare continually been falling into the arms Of al
the British eff .ers upon the same service, arr
there has not been such muscular embracing -ince

Of our large traeedian. The officers Of the U. S.

Ships generally. The officers Of II. B. n. Ships
generally give dinner 10 the officers Of the Niagara.
OF which events liehs fantastic, solid and soaking,
we have full reports to the mAutest particular. in the
Plymouth newspaper. The jenkins who does up
tkese things for the Ply mouth j,urDal has great
comnsnd Of language, AID really brsndishes what
may be called classic quill. The bal he con-
siders 10 have partaken Ut is quite graa-
tying to know that the ball itself could
partake, as well as "the dancers dancing in
tune Of the DatuIe Of a Ra'ional tltc, and a
friendly ,hake Of the hand BY the United Sa'es
with the mother country. Whether the ball found
the ftte good eating, we are not informed. Blu
jenkins dilstes very strcDgy upon the "unlimited
"supply Of champagne and other wines" with
"the cooling beverages whose names are familiar
"and peculiar as coming from the American
"shores.' Here is due honor done net merely 10

buy more than all European LatiOns unt,d) bat to

have no reason to think, from the report Of Jen-
kips that gallant tsrs in any way failed to sup
port the Dascbal reputation for hospitality. They

said SIX hundred rode" weeping to their beds.

valued Secretary of State, we ara not informed.
But clearly our American officers had fine time Of
it with the aristOcracy.
Tren came the fine submarine banquet given to
the officers Of the L. S. s. Niagara by Capt.
Houston Stewart, c. b., upon the briny deep,

its the brilliant soul of tsllow. chandler conscien-
tiously devoted to bis business. A very consider.
able portion of his long description is devoted to
TIE vaIiegated lamps, aud the Pamers composite
candles stuck in the sockets Of bsyonets, and the
lanterns Illuminating tho ports Of the starboard
side aid the other fine specimens Of artificial light.
We do not propose t, follow Jenkias INFO all his
elaborate description, but bis port Of the remarks
of Capt. Stewart, C. B., ia worthy of notice.
The English newspapers, from TIE Times up 10
Puneh, have made continual fun of that kind Of
American oratOry which is well known as the ex
tended eagle .tJle We own that We are rather
sublmely lateral in that. Our eagles soar, shoot
and dive in credtable manner. We hsd, not long
ago, occasion to show how, at dinner in England,
a Mr.. Train Of Boston, in New. England, before
party Of British diners, put our domestic bird
through his fights. But although we accord all
praise to Mr. Train for his celebrated performance,
We think that Capt Stewart, G. B., Of the British
Navy, is fairly his rival. The only difference lie,
that whereas Mr.. Train took the British lion By
the tail and twisted that caudal extension
until the heraldc qusduped squesled,
Capt. Stewart, c. B., called our eagle to
his bosom, and, as it We're, brooded him
under the wings Of his eloqueDce, stroked the
fathers of his back, gave him farinaceous rations
until lie redu ,ed him TO condition of Polly want
cracker" tameness, and finally diminished his Ion
etudh al pretersiOns to those of an ordinary ban
tam. We beg leave to call the attention of the
American people to the Ingenious way in which tie
bird was seduced. In the frat place be assured
our winged guardian that great many years ago
the Lien and the Eagle came out of the tams egg.
He then went on TO show that the sole and common
aim both Of the Bid and the Beast was tao extern
sion of the Christian religion; and then came this
noble passage:
Whatever may be said 10 thu contrary, England
hss no Jealousy Of Americs. Fill that mighty CONT
nent-we know thss It will be fled-with noble
hearted nen and angelic weuen rail~ay the painless

We beg leave to assure the gallant aud eloquent
Captain that we viii try to do till the continent.
especially with "the angelic women"-we will pro
coed 'tO railway the painless prairie" whenever
We can borrow tie money wherewithal to do il
that We are after the primeval forests" with
very ,barp a1-ard that we will spread, increase
