cora, Capt. Gore, which arrived at Boston
on Friday last, left Manila on the 18th

ection, and as they drew near home were
naturally anxious to know the result. On

and after the usual enquiries and replies,
through the speaking trumpet, the question
was asked, who's the next PRESIDENT

moment tine 1ucris:s doubted whether or no,
they were undergoing hoax. aad had bare
ly tine to thunder out the question, ''Who :
James X. Polkl" and receive the reply,

the two ships parted on their different cour.
