Queries.-Is Steam Boat of the U.
States, arriving at British colonial
port, say St. Johns, New brunswick,
with passengers and their cargoes, liza
able to tonnage duty!
Is vessel Of the United States, so
arriving in ballast only, liable to ton
mage?
.Ans,cer. The duty is imposed on
vessels of the United States arriving
with articles the produce of the United
States. Vessels in ballast, are, there
fore, not liable to the duty. Vessels
having passengers and their baggage
only, are here Tin England) deemed to
be in ballast. The practice in the w.
Indies is not known here, neither can
any instance be traced Of vessel not
having any cargo therefore, if such
passenger vessels are employed, it is
probable that they are considered as
laden.

And fled from the sigh of thy breasti
While agony begged for the sigh
And tear that my manhood supprest.
But base and impure is the thought,
And foul must the source of it be,
That dare to insinuate aught
AS noting estrangement from thee.

Returns to its sources no more,
Regardless of hope or of fear,
And times more eventful career,
No human endeavor can stem;
But certain thy bosom is, dear,
That nothing can stay NE but them.
