from his coat sleeve, and,. with, it, fell...his

lator, judge; and . executioner. .It is ru-.
mored, perhaps without arty foundation,
that in cases of great emergency, more than
one of these commanders. have seriously
threatened a resort to the salutary influence
of the " Second section." • Be this as it
may, travellers - on our western boats will
con'siilt their comfort - acrd - safety, by de
• porting 'themselves according to the - gentle- -
manly principle. , We throw out this hint
for the ptiblic'generally; and, in the full
