As a transcendent exhibition of blatant toadylsm, cant, and undiluted twaddle we commend our readers to a study of the "Praise-God Barebones" proceedings at the meeting of the Mercantile Marine Officers' Association of Friday last. The meeting was apparently called by Captain SAMUEL ASHTON and his associates to render thanks to the Almighty, coupled with Sir WILLIAM DES Vaux (we quote from the Chairman's speech), for the passing of The Sunday Working Cargo Ordinance. The worthy Chairman commenced by informing his

audience that "He felt bound to confess that the passage of the Bill was somewhat of a surprise to him." We can support him in this at all events, for we happen to know that until this journal undertook-its- advocacy, Captain Asuros, in despair of getting the measure passed within any appreciable period, had-frankly admitted- that he had actually given the reform up as a hopeless job. We claim no particular credit for the line of action this journal has taken from the beginning, for it was a matter of justice as well as daty to W lauded Brands, all of which are of ex- not only of "deserving class"the
