when t

being floated for going out of the graving-dock, the stores
being suddenly removed, she took a roll, and some of the
moveables on deck ran to the side, and kept her so low
that the ports in the bet Ween-decks, being open, admitted
the water so fast that she failed to right, and finally filled
with her broadside on the dock. Fortunately there was no
cargo on board. Prompt means were taken to secure her
from harm in the spot where she lay. The water was at

once got out of the graving-dock, and no marks of injury
visible in her hull, and, from her well-known dm-
,. strength, it is not likely she will have sustained
.iny injury. Great praise is due to Captain Glover and
his officers for their exertions to prevent damage to this
noble vessel. It is confidently expected that she will be
ready for sea on Monday next.

WHO " TRA.TELLER ?"—The Sale of Beer Bill
prohibits the keeper of a tavern from supplying his liquors
during the greater part of Sunday, except as refresh-
ments to a bond fide traveller, or a lodger therein." The
proprietor of the Wemyss Bay Hotel, by Greenock, having
considerable difficulty with respect to selling exciseable
liquors in the prohibited time to persons journeying along
the road, forwarded to the Lord Chancellor a petition
praying the House of Lords to take the opportunity of
defining the expression "bond fide traveller," but has re-
ceived for answer from his lordship's secretary a commu-
nication stating " that there exists great difficulty in
obtaining a clearer or better definition than what is im-
plied in the words themselves !" In the act in force in
New York it seems that the term "boarder" is used ; and
the New York Herald, after stating that notice had been
given that the law for Sunday closing would be strictly
enforced, adds, "In this city the liquor-sellers, with the
exception of the hotels and the restaurants on the Euro-

pean plan, very generally complied with the notification.
But the European plan did a flourishing business. Every
individual whose digestive organs were capable of master-
ing that singular production of nature termed a sixpenny
beefsteak was, hereafter considered a 'boarder,' and entitled
by the statute in such case made and provided to drink
an unlimited quantity." . _ _
