Calm and refreshed by several hours’ good sleep, I was in a humor to listen to and be edified by that ‘ trifle of a failing,” to which he had alluded. It was, certainly. the most finished performance of the kind I had ever heard. My irresistible laughter awoke the musical sleeper. who started up, and, after rubbing his eyes. said. with sundry twitches ofthe facial muscles-—

‘Didn’t I?’ was my laughing re- sponse. ‘ Yes, thanks to your left eye.which remained open long enough hit me to get fairly into a state of un- consciousness. It was certainly very kind of you to let me have my turn at sleeping, and I am greatly obliged to yots.’

The sleeping adventure of that night gave us many a laugh during our monotonous journey through the next day. When we paused on the ensuing evening, it was voted unani- mously that our friend should be pro- videdby the landlord with a room to himself, where he might sleep the whole night through. and snore to his heart’s content. He had no objec- tion, nor had the landlord, and so we were all accommodated. *
THE MORNING NEWS.

Lars FROM Eastman—The steam- or SLGeorge arrived last evening, from Pictou, bringing the second English mail for May. The news is. unusually destitute of interest or importance. The State trials are further postponed until the, next term, at the expiration of which, there would be no danger in extending the limits a little further, and so rid the nation of a piece of political farce— the like of which it was. scarcely ever t'ettered with before.‘

hursday mornings—starting from Charlottetown at half past 8 o’clock, A. M. and has performed her trips with much precision and regularity. The St. George has sometimes re- turned tail/tout the mails, but seldom without the regular mail fromHalifax. —we mention this to the credit of the Directors of the Company, be- cause it is evidence of their good intentions towards the public conve- nience. The St. George starts for Miramichi on the 7th ofthis month.
