MISCELLANEOUS.
1t must be very mortifying to the st.
Louis Board of Underwriters and their
agent at that port to have to eat their own
Words-tO 20 back on themselves and
confess that they did an act OF deliberate
and gTosa injustice. And we can't but
admire the pluck Gf Capt. MeMaaus, who
would not descend TO ask that the boats
of his line should be re-examined, but
planted his foot down firmly on his rights,

his steamers by the force of public opin-
ion. That Justice, though tardy, has come
at last, as will be seen by the following
dispatches received yesterday; and now

port of St. Louis, acknowledged by these
