The new Dublin and Holyhead Steams " Boats are going 00 pros perously. At the commencemeni, the ; wheel machinery, which was not'sufBciently strong, was repeatedly but of order, and sreat pre judice was excited, by one of them putting back when twQ-thirds across the channel on its very first strip ; but for many weeks past, the boats have cone reeularlv, and have made safe and expeditious passages, although the weather has been more boisterous than almost ever re membered. On Monday se'nuight a party went off from Howth. merely for the sake of a trip of pleasure : they sailed irom that harbor in eight hours thus making two passages, go ina and eominir, in fifteen hours, tio linif all ac- eomoloddtions complete, and tUe"jroy ago very pleasant. These vessels are lueeer riesred, and capable of makings good -voyages without the machinery, winch can be hoisted out of tbe waierat pleasure. They are .77 feet in the keel, carry 113 tons, arid draw 9 feet water abaft. Thi ee weeks since a gentleman from whom we have obtained the information, left Holyhead in one of tbe steam boats, which worked out of that harbor in company with a paeket having an express on board for the Irish government $ on landing at Howtti, a messenger was mspaienea 10 iae casuo ai jjud lin, to apprize government that an express to them, outsailed by the steam boat, was on its way ; Which express thqy rccei Yd eight hours The placards exhibited at the Post-office in Dublin, that such a paper has obtained a pri ority ot intelligence ay the steam packets, arc proofs of their utility. By one of these boats the victory of Lord Exmouth was kijowu in Dublin several hours sooner than it otherwise would have been : and only last week, the Hi- oernia, which is the name of one 01 them, took ever 16 cabin passengers. There are separa'e sleeping apartments for ladies and gentlemen, the former attended by a respectable female ser vant or steward, and every refreshment is to be had on board, whieh saves a great deal of ex pense, trouble, arid imposition in laying in sea stocks.

A.J ;.'. A few weeks back, a farmer, Mr. ConM mmLL' who resides Dear the town of In Ifraik iin eoantv, earried to Baltimore market r. ' of-floar.. Though honest Conrad ' drovejhis own team, he was by no means deficient in nat ural shrewdqess, and possessed also tori mneh spirit ever to be driven himself into anyjppasr dre, ofwhicb he did not approve. On fail ar rivipg at Howard ; street ha readily found a merchant for his flour. The current price that morning was t welve dollars in Baltimore potes, arid twelve dollars and an half in coun try notes, but he agreed to take-twelve dollars in country notes ot his own bank, preferring them to city paper, no' doubt ; to the great - as tonishment and joy of the merchant. The flour being uufaden, Conrad went to ouk after his horses, while the merchant hugely delighted with the idea of having overreached tbe simple farmer, went to look for. the notes but he found not what he sought for, add after spending two hours or more in vain search, tra versing the town in every direction, running to and fro through every street, alley and corner, applying for exchange of paper to every brok er and every huckster, he is compelled to re. turn without being able to procure more than two solitary five dollar bills of the bank, in whieh payment was stipulated to be made. Be ing thus disappointed he reluctantly proffered payment in Baltimore notes, .which Conrad of course declined to receive; saying "I always Jove my own dear little childrens better than the childrens of other people, and I likes too the note of our own good little Banks at home better than the notes of other plaees, aud would as leave have them as Specie" What Ivas to be done! I he country notes were nut to be had, and the merchant by his own folly in d is dot- aging them had got into a difficulty from which nothing could extricate him but the accommo dation ot the farmer. The wit attempted to argue the matter, and expostulated with some warmth, but Hodgealwajsmaintainedhis groand n un goou numourea hrmoess, until at length honest Conrad in the spirit of compromise (but after first eDjoying a hearty laugh at the expeuseof his Howard street friend) consented to accept of tho Baltimore notes in payment at the rale of twelve dollars and fiftv cents ner .barrel provided he would allow a reasonable discount : with whieh arrangement iU runn i Jlour dealer was obliged to comply rather thau run the risK ot exposing his eharater by a re fusal, disappoi nted iu his prospect of gain, arid niortiOed to the quick at the circumstance of paying a country-man a discount on Balti more paper. :"' "Neighbouk, go thou, and do so likewise." How comes it that all our farmers do not fol low the example of-Conrad ? A few more Conrads and a little more rpflno. jion anl good management on the part of Far mers and wagoners, and we should soon hear no more of two per cent, or even one per eeutt uiscouni on country notes. .
