THE SHENANDOAH.
The English papers noticed the arrival of the Shenandoah in Melbourne, and give the Government much credit for their prompt action. The Times rates the Southern sympathisers roundly, and tells them their conduct was exceedingly indiscreet. The great Thunderer says, •• We regret that the people of Melbourne should have displayed n so much sympathy with a crew engaged
the destruction of ships coming upon errands of peace to their own distant ports." What do the snob 3 say to this ? They thought the feting of the Shenandoah men would have the sanction of at least that section of the English people which the Times represents. They are admonished in these words. " Meanwhile we may say a word to Victorians. They are assuredly not prepared to bite, and they had better not bark." The great English journal is not aware that it was only the puppies who made a noise ; and no one heeds their yelping ! — Melbourne Leader.
