No Effect,—A Gorman paper contains a reply from a clergyman who was travelling, and who stopped at nn'hotel much frequented by wags and jokers.' The host,' hot being used to havo clergymon at his table, looked at him with surprise; tho clerks used all their artillery'-of wit upon him without eliciting a remark in selfdefence. Tlio worthy clergyman ate his dinner quietly; apparently without observing the gibes nndsneers of his neighbors. Ono of thorn at last, in despair at his forbcarauco, said to him: "Well, I wondor at your patience! Havo you not heard all that has beon said against you?" "Oh, yes, but lam used to it.,' Do you'know who lam ?" ',' No, sir," V Woll, I will inform you, I am chaplain of a lunatic asylum; such remarks have no oftect on me."..'■■.■;.,.•■'

British Geneiials,—Among our marshals •Wellington has no equal or second. But ono should not forget such names as thoso of Lord Stair, who won-tho battle of Dettingon, .and was an accomplished diplomatist as woll as general. He is, perhaps, best remembored'for his witty reply to tho impertinent question of Louis XV. Conway, again, the friend of Horaco Walpolc, was a good officoi', and an honest though rather timid politician. Marshal Conway is tho only soldier who ever led the Houso of Commons since "loaders" were semi-ofiicinlly named. Lord Ligionier is nuothor figure of somo interest in the list. After the Duko ol Cumberland's disgrace in 1757, consequent upon tlio CoDvontion of ClostorScven, Lipiouicr was put at the' head of tho British army in that Prince's placo.-W, James's ■ ' ,:
