LONDON Feb 2O.-The news of the adverse report

like a thunderbolt on the dull ear OF the Slow

We are grieved that our venerable neigh
Dor, TIE Courier, is not disposed to accept
in good part our friendly vindication of its
unwonted enterprise. To announce an
event as having occurred on Tuesday, which
did not happen until Wednesday, was in
truth so extraordinary an instance Of wake
fuluess on the part OF TIE Courier, that We
should have been unneighborly, as wen as
faithess to our mission as chr0aiclars

7Hs Courier, however, takes comfort from
the reflection that in its lifetime it has
seen many journals ''like THE NRws" spring
up, flourish for season and then sink,
one by one, into untimelJ graves. This is
not the first time that our contemporary
has volunteered this cheerful suggestion,
which it seems TO regard as at once the

animated neighbor. And if, indeed, "the

Us believe, then the community, we must
say, has taken very unusual method of
