At^Wellington, where men show themselves in ■ truer colors than to their constituents, if high principle is at a discount, tnat honor which is «iid to exist even among thieves is the more highly, valued. : Vaulting ambition has o'erltapt itself and fallen on tbe other side. Mr Shephard •will scarcely count for more, even in Wellington, than in Nelson. Inm.&c, Chivalry.
