she sprung leak and put in here for
repairs. Upon being raised in the dry
dock, she was discovered to be in a
very bad condition. The water ran
through her open seams as through a
seive. The repairs supposed to have
been put upon her before the com.

thanks to their benevolent fellow-citi-

should Be able 10 answer THE question.
OsE or THE pEorLx.
We should no. be surprised Il there
is, for we read in Sir Jack Froisart's
chronicles, thst during the reign Of
Peter the Hermit, Prince Paul Potti-
waski German Prince, went over to
England, and married the Lady Will
helm Fitswilliams, Countess of Fitz-
wilIiamdom in tho County Of Clair
Ire and--:hat he had by law-(accord-
ing to the statutes Ct the times) two
heirs legally--male heirs, Henry Fitz-
williams Prince Po,tiwaski and Prince
Pottiwaski Henry Fitzwilliams. This
last Of which went to his Majcsties do
minions in HALIFAX and there had, le-
gal issue according to the Halifax laws.
From these facts we argue that there
is Bourbon amongst us, differing in
no essential particular from other for
