BASHFULNESS OF THE PRESS.—The other day, a compliment paid to

the Standard was announced in rather a roundabout way, by a letter to the Morning Journal. The Standard declared its extreme reluctance to quote from the Journal a eulogy on itself, but on second thoughts deemed it just as well not to he over squeamish, and gave the letter a place accordingly. The compliment was the substitution of the Standard for the Courier in a respectable coffeeroom in Olerken- well—name not mentioned.
