ANATÈBMA, MASTER-MARINERS. Although we say it who should know better, the quarrels between master mariners on the coast of China are absurd. We hear of them slap-banging one another and mak ing all sorts of curious suggestions about con- duct, character and even pedigree--but it is difficult to believe that all is said in earnest. Certainly they don't mean it. 'Now and again it comes to a tussle, but if we judge from the yarns spun by several well-known writers, the necessary "light" is, as it were, part of the business. As ordinary landsmen, we have often wondered at the bitterness which is. ficquently manifested between men of the sea, but after what we have seen and heard we take it that it is simply the same disson- ance which happens between politicians with a small differedice of course., There is no real meaning in the statement between men of the same calling that one is not quite proper to walk the quarter-deck you will observe the beautiful and careful lan- guage) and there is no real meaning in the answer about the other being a-well, a "swab." We are writing this from a very intimate knowledge of seafaring men, but all we see as a rule of these men are their special propensities. Know ye, my brethren, said the prophet, or words to that effect, that there are more things done and said on the sea than even Mr. Horatius knew, These
