A CORRESPONDENT daws our attention to a paragraph in the morning paper, to the effect that certain special duties of the young Princes sa officers on board their ship, pre- ronted them from accepting a special invi tation given them by R. E the Governor for the other evening. This is not, in one" benso of the words, very far from the truth; but there is a general indisposition to believe that the examinations had so vory much to do with the matter. An attempt had been made to get the youths into a sort of semi- official position as Princes of the Blood
