DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS IN THR LORDS. ‘The Loxp CHANCELLOR Laving read her Majesty’ Kari FrawiuaM moved an address in repiy. Jord spoke in 60 low a tone that his remarks wero entirely inaudible in the gallery. The address was, as usual, an echo of the royai speech, Lord TRvRO, in seconding the motion, congratulated their lordships on the fact that during very critical umes this.country had been the exercise of a spirtt oe forbearance, to so tray with all the were of Egrope. expressed the satisfaction with which he bailed the course recently taken by the of the French, in substituting a more ‘enlighten: 4 commercial policy for the system of protection which beh hipere, existed in France.

(Hoar, ) topic, connected our foreign policy, he confessed he had not heard with the same satisfaction— Bamely, the paragraph io the speech which informed their lordshijs that MM was 12 communication ajeaty with the Emperor of French with a view of extend: ‘the commercial relations now existing between Englan: and France. No one could desire more ocarncetly than himself to see a freer commercial tarift established bo- tween the two countries, but he was afraid that the ex- periment would prove not only distasteful to the of this country, but, instead of being a benefit, would rove an injury. If there were any duties upon French produce which could be reduced with advantage to the revenue and resources of this country, them be reduced at once; but at the’ present moment, when the finag- Cial exigencies of the country were likely to prove ex- ceedingly difficult, he utterly ‘protested against the reduction of any duties on French products for the mere purpose of | oblatring a commercial treaty wath France. There was also another paragraph in her Majesty's speech of which he disapproved, and that was the passage tn which their lord- ships were asked tothank her Majesty for having laid before them an account of the occurrences in China, and to sup- port the crown in the measures proposed to be taken to obtain redress from the Chinese authorities. He, for ‘one, could yot Consent to make the admission that the go- vernment bad satisfactorily performed its duty in reference to these transactions. On the contrary, he thought they ‘were greatly to blame for baying failed to bring tho sub. ject unser the notice of Parliament at an earlicr period. Tn the courée taken they had in reality deprived Parlia- ‘ment of one of its most important rights and privileges, namely, thavof controlling the expenses about to be in curred and of checkivg any sieps which might be deemed foexpedient, and which were calculated to involve the country in an unjust and impolitic war. had certainly not foliowed the precedont sot them by Pitt and Capping, who under similar circum: stances called Varuament together before deciding as to what wlterior measures were to ba taken. He be- Hioved they had been guilty of an wnjustilable departure from the established practice of Parliament; and with re- gard to the merits of ihe Chinese question itself, be thought it was open to great doubt whothes, we had any Just cause of qi el with China atall It was exceeding- ly questionable whether, after having been offered another. route, our ambassa‘or was justified in saying that ho would proceed by’uo other than that of the Peiho, and whether, when denied the right he claimed, be was justi. fied in attempting to force a passage until he bad endea- ‘yored to ascertain whether, upon more peaceable repre- sentations, the Chinese authorities would not have been induced toadmithim. He belicved it was now almoat impossible to avert war, as steps had already been taken which bound us to the French in a manner which ren- dered it impossible for us to draw back; but he deeply re- retied that Parliament bad not been called ther ear- er. duty to move an amendment to the addrcss, by the inter- tion of the following paragraph after the paragrapd inti- | mating that an expedition was in preparation, in concert and co-operation with the Emperor of the French, intend- ed to obtain redress and 4 fulfliment of the stipulations of the treaty of "Fien-tsin:— But their lordships bumbly éxpress to her Majesty their re- en preparations for the expedition were com- monced, her Majesty's servants did not advisa her Majesty to communicate to Parliament nat the measures de ‘eided upon, tm order tha: Parliament m! nity of forming s judgment upon the sutject (Hear, bear.) The Duke of Nxwcastix deeply regretted that the ad- dress could not have been allowed to go up to her Majesty ‘Without an amendment; but, as an amendmont bad been moved, it was his duty to explain the motives by which the rnment bad been actuated in the measures er bad pursued. With regard to the commercial treaty wit! France, he concurred with the principie laid dowa by his mobile friend in reference to treaties in general; but as the treaty in question was only signed yesterday, and had not yet been laid before Parliament, it could not’be expected what be could eK into details in reference to its pro- visions. The object of the treaty was to extend a commerce between two great countries, which had hitherto been much restricted, and he believed that the extension of commerce between two powerful nations was the best mode of ensuring pence. ‘Acar, hear ) With regard to the occurrences in China, fi noble f had complained that the usual practice bad been departed from. The practice was far (rom uni- Terie) med bad been departed from upon two occasions within ’the last thirty years. The noble eari had argued an if hostilities were now being commenced for the first time, altogether ignoring the fact that no peaco could have been concluded with China until the treaty was signed. At the proper time the government would be fally pre- to justify the course they bad taken; and if {t could shown that the government were bound to provide proper means for obtaining reparation for an lngult, ho sbould claim the yote of the nobie lord in favor of the course which bad been pursued in reference to China, The Marquis of Noranny thought it would be better to postpone any discussion of the attairsof China until the papers were before the House, and trusted that in the meantime the noble earl would withdraw his amendment. Lord Brovenas expreseed his satisfaction at the course Which events were taking in Italy, and hoped the Italian people would be left to settle their own affairs without the interference of either Avstria, France or Sardinia. Referring to the proposed commercial teeaty with France, be said it met bis entire approval. Instead of being detri- mental! to the interests of this country be believed it would be a source of great benefit to both nations, but to Kogland in a tar more extensive ratio than to Fragce. With regard to the national defences, he was glad to find that the government, during the recees, hat directed their atten. Uon to the necessity of increasing our armaments. We lived in an armed world, with prodigious armies ail around us, and it was therefore our duty to be acmed suilisieatly | to render an attack not only impossible to succeed but impcesible to be attempted. The Earl of Derry, atter complaining that no member of the government bad yet risen to expiain the views of the ministry upon Parliamentary reform, and seyoral other important topics mentioned in the royal speech, expressed his satisfaction at the happy prospects which they bad been abic to nold out in reference to oar foreign relations. He rejoiced that the goverument bad been advised to do jus. tice to the spirit of loyalty whieh had induced the people generally to offer their voluntary services for the defeace of the country. He trusted those services would never pe required, but that would not diminish the yalue of the tender, which had already produced a powerful moral ef. fect. The noble Earl then proceeded to state that there were three topics, and three only, alluded to in the royal speech, which bad been made the subject of discussioa in the course of the debate, The first was the new commer- cial treaty with France. On this point he agreed with Lord Grey that ibe time was iil chosen for briugiag our. Selvcg to any particular line of policy iz reference w such asubject. So faras he could understand the treaty, the ad- vantages would all be on the side«f France, which would re- ceive omy coal and manufactures upon wrich very little skill- ed industry was emzloyed, while we should receive im return articles which formed tne staple commxiities of France, and upon which mast extensive skriled industry was employed. must a’go be borne in mind that at this momout we wero large increase of taxation, and it was that the royal specch, instead of con- taining the usual paragraph intimating that the estimates had been preparea with due regard w economy, simgly Stated that they had been prepared with a view to place the military and naval services and the defences of the coun- try upon an efiicient footing. Inthe present year the income tax ought to terminate, bat no man entertained a hope ‘Chat it would terminate. If the government, therefore, took off the wine duties they would be guilty of great injuatice to their countrymen if they continued to levy duties upon mali, hops and sp! For these reasags, unless the expiavation of the treaty was very different from what he now unierstood, her Majes govern ment had been moch misinformed as set which it would produce upon the pablic wil ta this country, (Hear, bear.) With regara w China, it waz aot his fae tention, at the prevent moment, to enter into any discus. sion of'our quarrel with that 'country. Ho could not, however, pasé over heroic couduct of hogether without reference the ‘the admiral and seamen en- gaged in the collision which bat taken place atthe mouth ‘Of the Peiho.

(Hear, boar) Tae noble Earl Bext proceeded to refer to the alfairs of lialy. He said he should be glad to learn from the government the cou which they thought desirable to take at the Coaferon It had been reported thatso long ago at Angust last tho overnment had proposed to France, tn th: sence of a Gongrees, a soparate negotiation for te afairs of Italy, setting aside the other Powers. He was unable to cay if dhe report was true, but there could be ao doabs tas ia ‘the course of the wt Month such a proposition had been made by Fracce. He believed that tae propo- sition had been deciived, perhaps on the growmd that it was inexpedient to luke acy sveps wit tho authority of Parliament, and ween Fr 1 England respecting thy aly would be offvasive ‘8 , The noble — They | Logel Indeed, 80 strong was his regret, that he felt it his | ybt have the opportu. | qt | eur relations with | | England went to a Cougress Ler object to the other Powers of Europe. negotiation,’ which appeared in the the inference that the proposit had dropped, and he should teeceiees information on the subject, Jed into any compact which interference in the affairs of Italy, but that the people of I factory assurance the position in which the Roman States stood. Hitherto Italy had been sacrifloed | tm @ copfiict as to which of the two rival Powers—France | or Austria—shouid exercise tho largest share of influence \ over Italian affairs. But if Italy was to bo created a | Teally independent nation, it must be left free to choose ite own constitution, and to establish its own government, ‘without mys under foreign dominion or inilueace. He trusted that her poy government would, to & great ext follow that line of strict neutrality in ‘the affairs of fal Italy which had been adopted by its predecessors, leaving the people of Italy to the un- Diassed exorcise of their own judgment with regard to their future government. There was one question which he should be glad if the noble Earl opposite could solve, Why was it that now that the Austrian troops had withdrawn Jrom the Papal the French still remained? | Was there any lurking apprehension t if the French troops were withdrawn from the or the Roman States, there would be some manifestation of the which’ would be anything but favorable to tho head of the government?

Gry declined to withdraw the amendment Which was negatived without a division, and the ad- dress was agreed to. THE ADDRESS IN THE COMMONS. Her Majesty's speech baving been read from the chair, Mr, St. Avmuy rose to move the Address in reply to itt He passed in review the principal topica alluded to’by her Majesty, and especially drew atteution to the satisfactory state the relations of the couatry with every foreign Power. Although the people of England did not feel taem- selves called upon to interfere in the affairs of Italy, thoy had accorded a generous sympathy to a people siruggli for their independence. There was now a fair chance their realizing their object; and the House might rely that the influence of her Majesty’s goverament, whether in or ont of the Con; 8, id be exerted on their behalf. Laet autumn, a deplorable event had occurred in China, but he believed that it was still in the power of the Chinese Emperor to obviate the results of that alfhir by a prompt atonement. If, unfortunately, however, ho should refuse, they eould rely on the skill of their commanders and the opto of their men to exact ample satisfaction. The difficulty which bad arigen in the Islaud of San Juan had been satisfactorily adjusted; and the manner in whicd the last embers of the Indian motiny had been extinguished was nvegit a maticr for bearty congratulation. ile was sure that the House would cordially grant to her Majesty every aseittance to carry on the public service; and be looked forward with the greatest confidence to the bill ‘which was promised to amend the representation of the people becoming law during the present gcssion, espe- Ctally as there was @ general consent among all partics as to its necessity. He trusted that it would tend to promote the integrity of the constitution and tho geueral welfare and contentment of all classes of people. (Cheers ) “The universal enthusiasm with which the vo- lupteer Co have been raised had produced the most falutary eflect upon foreign Powers, aud proved that oar | ancient spirit was still alive amongst us, and that all class- | es, from the highest to the lowest, were determined to tect their liberties and maintain their independence. wing briefly alluded to the promised legal reforms, he Concluded by hoping that the House would join in congra- | tulating her Majeety on the state of her dominions. At | home, trace was rapidly extending, and never before had there been such a atate of peace and prosperity. Abroad her condition was the envy of all nations,and ber pres- tige was such that England was enabled to exert her tra- | ditioaa! policy, and insist that all nations should be le to administer their own aifairs ay they might deem best, un- fettered by the dread of foreign intervention. Mr. Dienaxts esid that the last session closed with the question of the , apd he was not aware thats question was to be introduced to night; and if, a8 he was led to suppose by the remarks of the noble lord, (Henley’ pemee Pet to be introduced into the addreas. expressive of in the two noble lords (Palmerston ‘and Russell), on the part of himself and friends, he begged to say it was there under protest. (Laughter.) ’ It was not ‘bis intention to move an amendment to the address, but he would make a few remarks on the various topics which had been alluded to. With Tegard to the promised Reform Bill, he trusted that t would have this resemblance to the one iutro duced by Lord Derby’s government, that it would be @ measure the tendency of which wouid be to streagthen and confirm our parliamentary iustitutions, aud rot to im- pair or change their character. He regarded the oom- mercial relations which were to arise between France and England a a proof of cordial good feeling between the ‘two governments; but if the proposed changes were to be laid before the House, in the shape of a treaty, he wishot | to know what the business of the House wonid’be with re- | gard to it, He bad hoped never to have seen 8 com- mercial treaty introduced into the House again, and could | have wished that the Chancellor of the Exchequer could | have made the proposed changes without having recourse | toguch an instrument. They had often been told thatthe | Member for Rochdale was the individual to whom they | Were indebted for increased commercial relations with | France, but be was sure the honorable member would be the last person to consent t> @ commercial treaty | founded on the principle of reciprocity. In 1856 the Em- | peror of the French made a similar proposition to the ono which be had lately addressed to the Legisiatare. His Ma- | Jesty then proposed the entire extinction of the prohibitive | System. On that occasion a bill was introduced into the French Legislature, and although, owing to the latenoas of the seeaion, the bill did not pass, the Emperor considered the subject oae of such importance that he referred it to | the departmental councils of France, which, with the ex- ception of six, agreed to the proposition on the under. standing that some time was to elapee before the now | syetem came intooperation. The final determination of | the Emperor was that the change should take place in July, 1861, the very time at which the House was led to believe tho aite-ations now proposed wore to be carricd into effect. if the Ministers wore, therofore, now making conceesions, they were doing so to ensure changes which would inevitably have taken place without such conces Sions.

The policy of the late government was that of non-intervention, an@ that was now the position of Eag- | land in the eyes of the world, Was it humiliating? | Was itnot higher and prouder thaa ft had ever been before?

At the clore of Inst sezsion thoy were told negotiations for a Cougress were pending, bit that the proposal was not accepted or likely to be accepted, He wished to know, therefore. why in the menth of Aw | gust—the very month that the House of Commons had re commended the policy of non-intervention—ths noble Secretary of State proposed to the French government a plan for the setttement of Italy? ‘They were told that the papers would be laid before the House, but was it not ha- miliating ast they should receive information from the conceecending candor of a foreign potentate, and not from the Minister of their own Sovereign’ He ‘certainly bad expected that the paper would have been laid on tho | table the very first ight of the session. He might be | told bis. information was anonymous; perhaps the noble Jord would say it was not authentic. (Hear, hear,’ from Lord Jobm Russell) Certain ststementa had oven made, and aithovgh he did not emolate the iageaioas- ness of the four geatiemen of Liverpool, he was assured that these telegraphic despatches were furnished by the Freveh government. The despatch tn question stated | that Lord Cowley had come to London to conduct tm- | portant negotiations, bu it was immediately aenied vy | the official organs of ber Majesty's government, Farther telegraphic despatches, however, insisted that Lord Cow- tey wes come to London i receive the negotiations iuitt ted by the Engiish government, but interrupted by the Opycaition of Count Walewski; that the object of these nyg- govations was a conjoint declaration to regard any iater- ferences in the aifeirs of Italy by any Power as a cacus telli. He, therefore, asked the voble lord if this was an thenttc, for it amounted to an offensive and defensive alli- Ance with France with respect to Italy. Ho was told that those negotiations were cectiged, because the Cabinet could not pledge itself to such a policy without the con. & Parbawent.

Instead of ne there were now two armics in laly, and if this coun- try were to wierfere u would be to its lasting dishonor; but fthat it great good to Italy, by laying dowa sound principles influence must prevail, he did not doubt.

Lord PaLaienston was glad that the right honorable gen- tleman did not intend to oppose the adoption of the ad- dress, which bad been moved and seconded with so much ability his honorable and noble friends behind him.

The treaty was not concluded until August, and it was not until November that the government received an invitation to send a ple- nipotentiary to the Congress. No proposal had ever been made by the French government to her Majesty’ Ministers to come oa learrangement with regard to Taly. The government took pains t» make it known that the princi ple which would guide them in the Congress was that of hot countenancing uny attempt to bring the foree of arms to bear upon the Italians, but of leaving them to cettle their own affairs. It was possible that by refusiag to join the Copgrees the government might have prevented its assembling altogether, and have given rise to calamities im Italy which they were all anxious to prevent. By refusing to join the Congress the government woald, by their own act, have excluded England from taking part in important tranactions, and they would have been to blame it they bad refused on light grounds to send to the Congress. The government were alko no partics to any guarantee with regard to the Pa aldominions. (Hear ) 16 object of the government with regard to Italy had been the simplest possible; their policy had never varied. They had always stated that it was uot fittiog that the Italian people should be compelled by force of arms to arrange their affairs, but that they ought to be left to themselves to do so in any way which would be most in unison with their own opinions and wishes and the future happiness of their country. He was certain the policy which the go- vernment had pursued was the only one calculated to place the affairs of Italy on a permanent basis, and that when the pepers on the subject were laid before the House, they would find in that policy much to be pleased with and nothing to censure, for such policy would secure independence for Italy, and would meet with the approval of the people of this country.

It is the last effort of monopoly at bay. The address recapitalates the state- ments of the Sinister of Public Works to the Chamber of Ccwmerce of Lille, designating the month of July, 1861, ‘as the cate for the solution of the question relating to the abolition of prohibitive duties, and repeats the renewal of that pledge some few montbs ago.

It is to this eflect:— Spectator belieyes that the treaty of Commerce between Rogie ‘snd Frence coustitutes a complete assimilation of the flags of the two nations in their maritime relations, direct or in direct, even with to they ‘Te Spectator adds, that by the treaty spgliah snd #rench ships are exempt from oil tommege duulesta the ports of England and france one claugeirees Snglish coal from all export dui a The tceaty is wo produce a revision of the Kuglish aud Frencl aa perheey Mention. ‘a definitive arrangemens of the qui e tbe New foundiaré ‘am aesured that the foregoing is incorrect.

[From the London Times, Jan. 24 ] The Treaty of Commerce was sigued at Paris yesterday, nd however lame and halting may be her first steps, we may yet congratulate France on having at last entered on the course which leads to free trade, The people which may justly claim to be the most logical in Europe have during forty years been distinguished as the most narrow and inconsequential of reasoners iu all matters of trade apd finance. With governments much more powerful than ours, with theorists and doctrinatres for statesmen, with professcrs and essay writers well received at Court and exerting no small influence upon society, the ruling 'rance bave never yet dared to accept ‘was denounced to England, for corrupting the French electoral » for looking only to family aggrandizement in all bis international dealings; of the iron res mee ever claimed for France a share in those mighty benefits whieh England was about to enjoy by the success of the free trade agitation. Certainly fourteen years are not much in the history of Europe, and it may be going too far to cite national cha- racteristics as a reason why France only thinks of doing in 1861 what England acomplished in 1846, and which bad been enunciatea in principle and partly carried out mm practice some years before. But the French are so quick to learp, and their system of government makes so easy the adoption of great changes, that we are entitled to say the start we have gained over them is in a high degree owing to the national mode of judging political and social questions. England, shut up in herseif, and treating do- domestic matters as wholly separate from and tagepen- dent of ali foreign relations, may somotimes lag behind by notattending sufficiently to the lessons which foreign nations can teach; but she is not, on the other hand, ae- terred from acting according to her judgment by aay jealousy, or suepicion, or deference with regard to her neighbors. It might, perhaps, be as well if we were to look a little more to foreign Jaws, foreiga systems of ad- ministration and foreign cauons of taste, and not try to work out everything from the teachings of our own expe- Tience; but still this fault is lees than that of some other nations, which fancy that if a thing be adopted by Eng- land, it must either be suited to her ajone or intended, with Machiavellian policy, to ensnare taemselyes to their rum. There can be no doubt thatjealousy of Hugland has been one of the chief supports of the Protectiomet theory. Ihe traditions of French commerce with resp-ct to England ail bear traces of the great revolutionary war. Atthat ime the ides of the First Bonaparte was to ruia England by de- stro; iug ber commerce. ‘This great man believeu and caused his subjects to believe, that our country existed only by buying and getling, and that our trade in cotton and woollen once breuglit to a stop, the aun of our greatness would set for ever. Tbe French of the last generation never seem to have imagined that Eoglaad was toe ricn- est country in Europe in native productions. They seem never to have beard ef Evgiah agriculture producing two or three times as much to the acre as the more naturally favored lands of France; of English mining, with its enor- mour weight of coal, iron, lead, aod linevery year brought to the suriace of the earth; ot Eugiish skill in tne breed ing of animais, which made the working classes even in the worst of times tare in & manuer which an ordinary French workman migbt envy. Everything indicated that the French looked upon England as & mere trading com- munity—a Carthage, to use the Napoleonic term— which might be destroyed as goon as the “sover of tbe seas’’ and the “ monopoly of commerce” were taken away. Under the First Empire these notions were fostered by the umbappy traaers of the Continent, whose ships hail been driven from the seas by English cruisers. As soon as Holland, or Spain, or Dea- mark bad been subjected to French power tueir com- merce was ruined, and the loud cry from every quarter went to swell the chorus of indiguation which the power and the severity of England bud caused. The notions then implanted fn the Freach mind bave lingered to our Own Ume, and consistently with them tne famous reforms of Sir K, Peel have been denounced as a mere snare to the unwary Continent. - Fogland having grown rich by pro- tection, having by means of this grest «gis warded oif Didws dealt with the whole strength of France, was now abie to abandon it, and unfurled the banner of free trade im orcer to ensuare nations commercially weaker into 4 couree which would be their ruin. ‘The destruction of all manufactures but her own Was the obvious policy of per- fidious Albion, and it was the duty of every good Freach- man to save his country from fulling into the trap. So argued popular ignorance, and monopoiist selfish- ness encouraged the delusion. ’ Bat time tries all, and even the caste of prohibition, surrounded by the moat of nsueval timidity and suspicion, will have to yield to the long stege of reason and experience. The French Emperor has, it t& said, been long a convert to free trade; he bus seca its effects in this country, and, as One whose torono regia on the allegiance of the inase’s, be is naturally anxious to acopt those liberal measures which, with a tausmaaic virtue, bave given England @ peaceful and contented working class. But ket no one think the Frencn prohi- Ditiontsts and protectionists wil fait wi:hout a struggle, They and the priesthood form the only bodies tn the country which are accustomed to act together, and between them they probably give the Emperor trowdle enongh. It is also w be remarked that M. Migne and M. Billault, members of the French Cabinet, are strongly oppered wo the measure of their chief, and are even said to have threatened their resiguatioas., Tue gaing of some of the manufacturers, particularly tue iron- masters, bave been so large, and (heir terror at the pros- pect of British competition ts 80 excessive, that they have derived @ courage from covctousness and fear which zeal tor public liberty could never have given, and have car- ried their opposition even to the teet of the Emperor in ‘the remarkabie address which we wublisn wday. But the Emperor’s power is great, his coniiaence unbounted, and in this matter he will have the support of two very diderent Orders of men—the doctriniareyphiosopber and the struggling artisan or peasant. We, of course, have nothing to do but to look om. So far as ‘the changes in France move paralie! with our own requiremeuis, aod obey the laws of economical science, we shall be able to give them ¢omething like reciprocity. But the French people should not look for any such antiquated arrange- ments, but should legislate ta accordance with those py: cupies which they understand theoretioally as well as we do.

OBITUARY. Captain Harrison, of the Great Eastern— Boat Disaster and his Last Mu- 4 A i Ee i et ify ite lows:— From the time that the ship had been fairly moored at her winter quarters, Captain Harrison, with his wife and family, bad occupied a small villa, called Hythehouse, on the opposite side of the Solent to Southampton and almost facing Netley Abbey. Every morning, at about half-past nine o'clock, his gig, in charge of his coxswain, called for him at Hythe pier, and thence he went by water eitherto the Great Eastern or Southam: , a8 the business of the app reanred As usual the Started from the ship to a at ed i stot sht o'clock 4 my day morn- iB: purser, w' son, an en- ging of thirteen, left in the boat to breakfast with Harrison before coming up to town. deo, as usual, was in charge of the boat, with his crow of five picked men. It is the case in the Solent, as in all largo inland sheets of water, that the wind in bad weather comes in perfect calm n. weather on Saturday morni was dull and threatening, theugh there was but little wins when the gig left the ship, and not the moat remote idea was entertained that the boat would not be more than equal to any squall she might encounter, clse one of the large cutters, capable of carry: forty men with ease, would have been gent instead. Captain’s gig is a fine, wather conspicyously dis- implicit confidence ‘his capabilities asa boatman. For the last four years ’e coxswain, having entered his of the Great Eastern was still in courge of construction at Milwall Like all who served under ain Harrison, Ogden became al- tached to him, 80 much go that when, at last, after ail her mis! the Great Eastern was ready to quit the river, Ogden, though @ young married man, shipped on board for service, and was confirmed in his appointment as the captain’s coxswain. This brave young fellow, too, is one of the victims of the late calamitous accident—surviving t, however, for many hours, till he learnt that Captain Harrison Was no more, when he gradually sunk and died. With this skilful saflor, therefore, having charge of the ugsail, and with Captain Lay at the helm, the gig quitted the Great Eastern at eight o’clock on Saturday morning. AS wo bave already stated, the It was close reefed, but the ‘morning was still tolerably fine, and the wind, though high, was fair, 80 the gig mado a fine and quick’ run down to Hythe-house, Here Captain Lay and his son landed to breakfast with C ptain Harrison and bis family, and with Doctor Watson, the surgeon of the Great Kastorn, who had stayed at Hythe house from the previous evening. A few minutes before ten o’clock Ca Harrison, with Dr. Watson and Captaia Lay and his gon, came down sgain to the pier to embark and cross the water. Captain Harrison having that morning received the customary checks to pay the weekly bills connected with the great ship, bad, of course, to get thom cashed belore going on board with the doctor. The whole party, therefore, seated themaclyes in the gig, which immediate ly got under way aud stood straight across the Solent for the entrance of the tidal dock at Southampton. But curing the time thas had elapsed since tho beat bad iret arrived at Hythe the weather had changed sadly for the worst. The eky had gra- cually become overcast, the waves were white and turgid, and everything secmed to threaten a aquallof no ordinary florcences and duration. Between nine and eleven o'clock, on the Southampton side of the water, it blew almost’a hurricane, Many gentlemen coanested with the k8 who were in them at the time state that during this hour or so that the eqnall lasted they had not fecn such severe weather ‘or the last seventeen years. A collier which was being towed out of dock by a steam tug was blown back, tug and all, into the harbor again The Indus, which had arrived off’ the docks in the night, Was quite unable to attempt coming in—a thing almost un: precedented at Southampton. She was compelled to let go her anchor in the streamabout one hundred and fifty, or, (pery two hundred yards, frem the entrance to.tas tical docks.’ This, it may be said, was bad weather for |ny party to venture out im an open gig, but it musty be re- membered that the wind was fair for coming over to tha docks, and that under the lee of the hills on the other side at Southampton the rough breeze was scarcely feltiat all. Dr. Watson dis- tinctly states that though the weather wag bad, it was far from being at all dangerous, or even very bad, When they left the opposite shore. According to this gentleman’s statement, they stood Tapidly across the Solent with the wind fair on the star- board tack. Captain Harrison sat in the stern sheets at the heim; Dr. Watson and Captain Lay and son were on the windward side. The crew, with Ogden, sat more forward, but mostly, of course, on the windward side, to counterbalance the inclination of the gail. During the run acrogs, the boat, though rather wet, behaved well; but ag it neared the opposite side and the land opened out, the squall increased fearfully in violence, while the gig began to pitch and move unsteadily to her helm. de was very high, though just beginning to set out of tne docks against the wind, making a chopping, dangerous sea run high ana broken, and which appeared to get worse each moment. Througk this the boat held her own well for a time, though her yawing and pitching heavily increased, so heavily, iadeed, as to atiract the attention of some of the officers and others on board th» Indus. Stillshe bore stoutly up, sending the foam from her bows, though her yawing increased so that her heim scarcely controlled her ‘at When sho ot inte the channel between the Indus and the docks, Sechopping 8ea was woree than ever. in Harrison gave orders to stand by with the haiyards, and immediately afterwards to down with the sali. The order was at once obeyed by the crew, but Voth the sail and halyards were wet through: nefther moved freely, and the sail, after coming down a foot, stuck fast. ‘The rest occurred in a minute.” Tho boat had ‘still way enough on her to take her abreast of the opening to the docks, when a counter eddy of wind struck her on the opposite tacky The sail instantly ‘jibed,” as it te termed—that is/to eay, the canvass was forced back againet the mast, and the boat ia a second, heeling over on the side on which most of the crew were sitting, flied end turned over. Dr. Wateon, who exerted himself so energetically to save others, and who was himself picked up exhanstod ‘and inrensibie, Says tbat in the first moment all went down together underneath the gig, but almost immediately afterwards, as it appeared to him, they rose to the sarface. ‘The spray from the sea was wild and stilling, the water deadiy cold,and for @ moment or so, of course, none could say what bappeved. Dr. Watson, who swims ag ‘well ag poor Captain Harrizon did, struck out and seizod the younger Jay. While doting so be saw Captain Harri. fon also striking out towards the boat, which was pitch- ing about kee] uppermost, and callod to him to make for the boat and holden, to which Captain Harrison replied, “allright, all right”? Always cool nnd collectod,, nd matter what bis danger, Captain Harrison then seized the ‘boat, and made a Gesperate aitempt to mght it, but it was filled with water, ana turned over so completaly as to rise again with the keel uppermost still. Between this move- ment of the peat and the fury of the sea, Dr. Watson was separated from young Lay aa the boat for an interval.
