It was past eleven o'clock at night when we
reached the dock, nnd wo remained on board

said to me :

I only remained two days in Liverpool, and
tho morning I embarked for Dublin I called to
say good-hy to Randolph nt his lodgings. I
found him in conversation with a venerable
looking piiticrr.an. The moment I entered
the room he turned around and said :

moment, 'above all days in the year,' as McRory
says, because it enables roc to nnUc you ae.

Mr. Maury blushed, nnd so did I ; but his
truly warm reception after this singular intro
iluction soon put mo at my ease, and I passed a
most delightful half hour with him and Ran
dolph. Wo listened to on epitome of the his
tory of irginia since the Revolution, from
Randolph, who took it for granted that he could
not in any w-ny so much amuse his ancient
friend as by detailing to him all the principal
events that had taken place since his departure
from tho 'ancient dominion.' Rut I was obliged
to tear myself away, nnd, nnce more bidding
Randolph good-by, and thanking Mr. Maury for
his very kind invitation to the hospitalities of
his house, I went on board the sTeanier 'Wa-

Wo publish the official report made by Capt. j
Stockton to the Secretary ol the Navy, of the
trial ofspeed made between tho Princeton and
the Rritii'h steamer Ureal Western. The re
Milt was stieli ns to make it a proud day fur
Capt. Stockton, and the country proud of hav
ingsuch a fjn. The tireitt Western has long

eminently distinguished.

On Thursday tho Western came out oftho
East river, and the trial took place, from the
Battery to the sea, in which we gained a most
glorious triumph in the presence of many thou
sands of our fellow-citiiens, assembled to wit
ness the useful and exciting contest. The
following account which was made at the time
by two gentleman who camo on board for that
pnrpoae, I prefer to send you rather than
trust my own pen on the subject. You will
allow me, however, to add that tho Princeton
is now admitted to be the fastest and most beau
tiful, as she will hereafter be admitted to be
tho mofct formidable ship afloat:
At 33 minutes past 2 o'clock, P. M., whilst
the Princeton was lying in the North river, the
Great Western was seen passing the Battery,
under a full head of steam, blowing off strong,
and with her fore and aft sails set, the wind
blowing fresh from the westward. The Prince
ton immediately started her engine, gave chase
and coining up astern of the Great Western
soon passed with no sails set, and the yards
f(,uare. The Western then set her square
sails, and the Princeton following her example,
uiadisail n!so,on.l continued to widen the gap
between the two vessels.
I W hen tho Princeton had arrived at the
Buoy of the middle below tho Narrows, she
! was more than a mile ahead of the Great Wes
tern. Here the latter ship, to make good the
distiMiccsho had lost, took tho "Swash Chan
nel," which is three miles shorter than the or
ful appearance. Tho mnehinery is said to be
of the roost perfect character, in design as well
m in finish. Tho ship, the machinery, and

with travellers on their excursions, who gener

rode with all the glum looks ofa real John Bull.
In about half on hour, however, he camobncl:
and said he believed he 'must put up with it.
But this expression about the Frenchman, had
by some means reached that gentleman's ear.,
who had determined, being a stout man, upon
the course of his conduct towards his civil visi
tor. Tho Englishman stalked into the room
the Frenchman was all smiles and bows John
Bull slightly nodded and snt down as grum ns a

speaking, when tho Enclishmao got up and
gave the bell cord a pull. The Frenchman
started also from his seat, and gave the string

Bull. 'Waiter! bring me a bottle of wine.'
Frenchman. 'Vaitaire, coma back here,
