The Anniversary Dinner at the Marine Society, on Thursday, the Duke of Clarence, among other obser vations, observed, that when he commanded a 28 gun -frigate on the Cork station, he lauded in that city. The guard of honour of the 58th regiment, by which he was . received, was commanthsl by a lieutemeat. That lieute nant was the present Duke of Wellington, and, strange to tell, the first time his Royal Higtmess met him after :wards, was at dinner with the 'Queen, when he had become a Knight of the Garter, a Duke, and the great e4 General of the age. This circumstance his Royal • Highness mentienedls show, that in this country merit 'would carry individuals to the highest stations ; and, in the course of his own. professional services, he had • known many other proofs of the same truth.

At any rate, the ce lebrated Pompey, both in his life-time, and repeatedly .." in modern ages, has received the highest eulogiums for a proceeding not a whit more splendid than this almost • unknown action of a nr.meless soldier. Loril Bacon thus tells the story in his apophthegms :—" Pompey being commissioner for sending grain to Rome in time of dearth, when he came to the sea, fJund it very tem ,pestuous and dangerous, insomuch that those about him advised him by no means to embark ; but Pompey said, It is of necessity that I go, not that I live!" There is a sewer in the Regent's Park, which, on ac count of the want of proper fences, has lately been the cause of several accidents. A man fell in IM Wednes day last, and was drowned.
