a miraculous flow of after-dinner oratory; and
there will bo a flirtation captain, who.se business
it will be to render the brief voyage still briefer
to the ladies. The former has been a I’l'en-
mason, who has eaten his way into all the hon
ors of the craft, and who will hold lodges in
the maintop, where the proximity of the fire
from the chimneys will be highly coiivcniont
for heating the grid-irons. The latter has been
still more carefully sclcctcel and is a gentleman
whom his wife is about to divorce under the
new law, for tlie incompatibility of his red hair
with her notions of elegance, and who, under
the same law, will bo incapable of marrwiiig
again. He will therefore'have been a family
man, which makes him respectable, while at
the same time his attentions can mean nothing.

very handsome church is being built on the
after-deck, and four chapels, fur .Methodists,
Baptists and Independents, are being erected

will be |i!aecd near the wheel, but it is thought
well that the voluntary system should provide
for the dissenting teachers, Ihongli in case of

are ordered to attend everywhere with basins,
without regard to distinction of religions faith
or bringing up. Births and marriages will be
amply provided for, the directors ot tne Great
