The Ship Great Republic.
This noble vessel proves upon examination, to be in not so bad condition as
was at first supposed. The hull is entirely good, and all her timbers as sound
as when first set in their places. The burning is confined to the light wood
work amidships and on the after deck. Thousands will be glad to learn that
this noble vessel will again float upon the waters in all her former
greatness.-- New York Herald.
