ONE THING AND ANOTHER.

(Collated from our Exchanges.) A recent Gazette, says Atlas in the World, contains an entry that is memorable because of its uniqueness. -For the first time in our "island story" has a British commander found himself called on to acknowledge the services in the face of an enemy of a newspaper correspondent. Liter a, scripta manet, and the Gazette had to print what General Tytler wrote ; but it is understood in India that the officer in question was visited with the displeasure of his superiors because of his unwelcome innovation, and was, indeed, called upon to cancel the portion of his despatch which com- <ft mended Mr Forbes' cool purposeful conductiunder fire. Gen. Tytler, haying a will of his, own, and having .named Mr Forbes oh the pressure of officers of his column who witnessed and admired Mr Forbes': timely;good services,:"declined to strike out the passage. It, is, of course, quite needless to observe that the gallant general's recommendation will be utterly barren of effect. Our authorities wisely : regard it as a gross impertinence-onstho part of one not a soldier to; be •< guilty of • any service on campaign,) no, dmattcr whether th_t service consists* in, .saving ■ hitman.:life- oi\ in conveying important intelligence under the.;most,(hazardous conditions. ~...-. i

Adelaide Keilson made many conquests in New York. Her parlors'in the Fifth, Avenue Were ' never without her admirers in season hours. She : had a big husband named Leo.' He seemed more of a factotum. A New Yorker fell madiy-iii love.with'the actress while **■ she was playing as "Rosalind" and ~-- "Amy'i Rosbart" ; _t" Booth's Theatre. Every night he was in an orchestra chair, with a big floral emblem for her, and * every afternoon.,' after having obtained an introduction, came bearing more flowers. The charming actress liked nothing better than to 101 l back on the divan with a rich bouquet to pick at, while the admiring eyes of several gentle- m men beamed on her from ottomans, and easy chairs about her. The love-lorn j .'■ young man was annoyed by the bigfellow who; used.to sit off in one corner, _>- apparently abstucted, 'yet ever too near to permit any j_i;;;._oo..le dc-cir-i-ticn
