1t is, possible that Joseph Bonaparte may
continue to regard as valid the votes and
senatus consulta which placed the inhel-
itancc Of the imperial crown in his fami-

the recovery of high position, which
he considers as Of the right belonging TO
him but he is good man, and the en-
envy Of all violence and excess.
Rumor has not failed to attribute the
visit which the Duke of Orleans has paid
you to political combinations. The
young Prince will doubtless carefully
collect the Information which he may
have an opportunity OF obtaining in
Great Britain, but it is by no weans pro-
babe that he has been sent on special
mission. We hear with pleasure OF the
favorable reception Of this Prince, whose
amiabie character is duly appreciated BY
all persons, in proportion as they have
the honor of approaching him. As to
the stories about marriage between
him and the Princess Victoria, nothing
can be more absurd, But it should be
recoIlected that the Duke of Orleans is
the brother in law of King Leopold, and
that the Princess Victoria, the destined
Queen of England, has The Queen Of the
Belgians tor her aunt and Louis PHILIPPE
for her grand uncle. This approxima-
ton, through the alliances of the reign
ing families in France and Great Brit
ain, has historical singularity.
Our second session is proceeding well,
and will produce good fruit. The
present Chamber will certainly be dis
solved after the session of 1884; it is BY
no means probable that twill be allowed
to reach its fifth year. U.

Hours SpRINc.-The opening OF cop'-
GUS spring of excellent water under the city,
by Mr. Holt, at his'great hotel, is an inter-
esting fact, and may perhaps lead to import
ant results. The Gazette gives the follow
ing particulars Ia relation to the subject.
seThe digging of the earth commenced ~
: months ago, and at the depth of 40 to so feet.
= a vein of fresh, impure water was foundj
! which induced Mr.. HI. to go farther down.
When he had dug to $50 feet, he came to
rock, on the surface of which flowed water,
as sal, or salrer than ocean 7rater. Not
. succeeding in his pursuit, he was induced to
apply the drill, which has been at constant
work, large portion of the time. night and
: day, wrought by steam engine, till Satur-
t day last. In this vast depth, which is as
great as any perforation on record, the en-
. gineer, believes his tool has been applied to
, a solid rock, as hard as granite and gneiss
z could form it, without once penetrating any
other stratum. The rock during the last
three or four months work has been found to
be nearly as hard as flint, and the drill did
1 not descend more than from to 10 inches
: day during the whole time in which it has
C been employed.
The pipe which was inserted into the sur
+ face of the rock was not properly secured
against the food of salt that continues to pass
over it, and which rises in the tube to the
: oceans level. Fhis fact may account tor the
fresh water now found not rising to the sur
: face of the earth, mingling, as it probably
: does, and passing off in the same vein through
{ which the salt water flows.
;, 1t is intended Immediately to apply the
proper remedy against the salt water flood.

r Mr.. Holt EMPLOYS constantly, three men,
v each with horse and cart owned by him
j., self, and two others whom he hires, to bring

u than two miles from his house, at an expense
