FIRST STEAM COMMUNICATION WIT!! INDIA. It has for some time been a favourite object of Sir John Malcolm, Governor of Bombay, to establish a steam conveyance for despatches between that place and England, via the Red Sea, Sues, and Alexandria. A vessel called the Hugh Lindsay, of 400 tons burthen, with two en. gines of eighty-horse power each, was accordingly built for this purpose, at an expense of at least 40,0001. Though constructed on such a costly scale, yet the unaccountable blunder was committed, of her not having capacity to carry mere than 6 days• coal, when it is impossible she could reach the Arabian coast from India in less than Bor 10 days. If every thing, however, had been properly managed, the mails might have reached Alexandria in twenty-three days; from thence to Malta would have oc cupied four days more ; thence to Marseilles four days ; thence to Eng. land five days—total from Bombay to London, under favourable cir cumstances, only thirty-six days ! As It was, the Hugh Lindsay, corn. manded by Captain Wilson, sailed from Bombay, and reached Sues in thirty-three days, having lost twelve days in the ports of Aden, Mocha, Jude* and Comb., being detained in getting supplies of coal on board at those places. The letters sent by this vessel, after all, reached Eng land in less time than any were ever received before from India. Colonel Campbell was the only passenger by her, probably for want of room, as the cabin and every other place was occupied by the coal. She was so deep in the water on leaving Bombay, that she was d jfeur d'eats, and her wheels could hardly revolve. The distances between the several places on her route are as follow : From Bombay to Aden - - 1710 miles Aden to Mocha - . 146 Mocha to Judda . . 660 Judda to Cosseir . . 430 Cosaeir to Suez 261 3103 which at twenty days' nsaigation, would give 166 miles a-day, or six miles and :a (ration per bout. The despatches by steam. Ihelliore, ought to go from Bombay to Cosseir in 16 days; frOM tbp . c• to Alex andria by • dromedary direct, without stopping at Gtsud G in, q dyes Alexandria to Malta 4 days, and so on as before-mentioned, makidg in all from Bombay to England 36 days ; or allowing for casualties,' du mails might fairly be considered des in 60 days. PRicE 71). LORD COCHRANE. His Majesty having been pleased to restore Sir Robert Wilson to his rank in the army, In a manner the most Battering and grateful to a brave man's feelings, whose loyalty had never been doubted, it is ex pected by a large portion of the public, and the naval service generally, that his Majesty will also be graciously pleased to bestow a similar act of grace on Lord Cochrane, and restore him to his former rank and sta tion in the Royal Navy, to which so large a portion of his Lordship's life has been devoted, in a manner so honourable to himself, and so useful to his country. Lord Cocbrane's claim to his Majesty's gracious consideration is founded on a series of active and distinguished services performed by his Lordship during his abort but glorious career, as Commander and Captain in the Royal Navy, and borne honou rable testimony to by some of the most gallant OM•ms in the service, a brief outline of which is traced below. On the 6th of May, 1601, Lord Cochrane, then commanding the Speedy sloop of 14 guns (four-pounders), and having on board only 54 men and boys, fell in with a Spanish frigate, the El Oamo, of 32 guns (12-pounders), and 309 men, off Barcelona. Perceiving, from the great disparity of force, that a cannonade would only endanger the safety of his own vessel, without affording any chance of subduing the enemy, his Lordship determined on boarding, and such was the impetuosity and success of the attack, that she was carried with the loss of only one man killed, whilst the loss on board the enemy, in killed and wounded, ex ceeded the number of the whole crew of the Speedy ! In the course of the same year, and with the same sloop, he took 33 vessels, mounting in all 128 guns, and 530 prisoners. Also, in company with a brig, he de stroyed a 26 . gun ship, three gun-boats, a heavy battery, and a whole convoy which had taken refuge behind It. Soon after this he landed on the coast of Spain, and blew up the tower of Alcanerara- At the commencement of the late war his Lordship was appointed to the Pallas frigate of 32 guns. In this frigate, while 80 of his men were absent, he attacked and destroyed three French national ships of 16,22, and 24 guns each. and six smaller vessels, with the loss of only three men wounded. Admiral Thornbonnigh thus writes to Earl St. Vincent of this achievement, under date April 9, 1906 :—" I have the honour to transmit to your Lordship a copy of the letter I have this day re ceived from Captain Lord Cochrane, of his Majesty's ship Pallas, under my orders. It will not be necessary for me, my Lord, to comment on the intrepidity and good conduct displayed by iiord Cochrane, his officers, and men, in the execution of a very hazard. oats enterprise in the Garunne---a river the most difficult, perhaps, in its navigation, of any on this coast. The complete success that at tended it, as well as the destruction of the vessels of war, mentioned in the said letter, on the coast of Arcassore ' bespeak their merits more fully than is in my power to do; to which may be fairly added, that nothing can evince more clearly the high state of discipline of the crew of the Pallas than the humanity shown by them to the enemy in the canfilet." In 1807, being appointed to the command of the Imperieuse, Lord Cochrane, in a letter to Admiral Lord Collingwood, says, " With varying opposition, but with unvaried success, the newly-con structed Sentaphoric telepaphs,which are of the utmost consequence to the safety of the numerous convoys that pass along the coast of France at La Pinede, Bt. Maguire, Frontignan, Canet, and:Foy, have been blown up and completely destroyed, together with their telegraph.bouses, fourteen barracks of the gene d'armes, or Douanes, one battery, and the strong tower upon the Lake of Prontignan." Of this service Lord Collingwood thus handsomely speaks, in his letter to the Admiralty, dated off Toulon, Oct- 19, 1808 :—" Nothing can exceed the activity and zed with whic h his Lordship pursues the enemy. 'The success which attends his enterprises clearly indicates with what skill and ability they are conducted ; besides keeping the coast in con. stint alarm, causing a total suspension of the trade, and harassing a body of troops (about 2,000 in number) employed in opposing him, he has, probably, prevented those troops, which were Intended for Flout ras, from advancing into Spain, by giving them employment in defence of their own coasts." In another letter from his Lordship to the Ad miralty, dated Dee. 14. 1808, he says—" Captain Lord Cochrane has maintained him in the possession of Trinity Castle with great ability and heroism ; although the fort is laid open by the breach in its works, be has sustained and repelled several assaults, having formed a sort of rampart within the breech with his ships' hammock-cloths, awnings, itz. filled with sand and rubbish. The seal and energy with which he has maintained that fortress excites the highest admiration. His re. sources for every exigency have no end." Lord Cochrane might proudly exclaim, on this panegyric from so renowned a commander (the cam. panion, too, of the immortal Nelson) as Lord Collingwood— " 1 wish no other herald-- No other speaker of my living actions, . To keep mine honour from corruption, Than such an honest chronicler. " Having fought his way up . to the rank of Post Captain, and possessing a hereditary title, his Majesty George the Third was pleased to con fer on Lord Cochrane the honour of Knight of the Bath, for his gallant services. The last important achievement of the Noble Lord was the attack on the French fleet in Basque Roads, in April, 1809. In con templating the magnitude of the idea, the tremendous effects of the explosion, the genius that planned and the courage that con ducted such an enterprise, cannot but be admired. Lord Gam bier, in his despach, thus compliments his Lordship :—" I can not speak in terms of sufficient admiration and applause of the vigorous end gallant attack made by Lord Cochrane upon.the French line- of-battle ships which were on shore, as well as of his judicious manner of approaching them, and placing his ship :in the position most advan tageous to annoy the enemy and preserve his own ship, which could not be exceeded by any feat of valour hitherto achieved by the British navy." The means adopted by his Lordship, who personally conducted the explosion ship, which had been prepared by himself in a manner than which nothing was ever more dreadful, were these :—He cansed i about 1,500 barrels of gunpowder to be started into puncheons, which were fixed end upwards; upon the tops of these were placed between 300 and 400 shells, charged with fusees ; and again, among and upon these were 2,000 or 3,000 hand-grenades. The puncheons were fas tened to each other by cables wound round them, and jammed together with wedges: and moistened :sand was rammed down between these casks, so as to render the whole, from stem to stern, as solid as possi ble, that the resistance might render the 'explosion the more violent.l In this instrument of destruction Lord Cochrane committed himself with only one Lieutenant and four seamen ; and, after the booth was broken,' his Lordship proceeded with this explosion ship towards the enemy's line. Let it be recollected that, at this moment, the batteries on short were provided with furnaces to fire red.bot shot, and then his Lordship's danger in the enterprise may be properly conceived. The wind blew a gale, and the tide ran three knots an hour. When the blue lights of the fire-ship were discovered, one of the enemy's signal ships made the signals for fire-ships; which, being also a blue light, the enemy fell into great confusion, firing upon her with very injurious effect, and cut their cables. When Lord Cochrane had conducted his ex plosion-ship as near as was possible, the Enemy having taken the alarm, he ordered his brave little crew into the boat, and followed them, after putting fire to the fusee, which was calculated to give them 15 minutes to get out of the reach of the explosion. However, in consequence of the wind getting very high, the fusee burnt too quickly; so that, with the most violent exertion against wind and tide, this intrepid little party was six minutes nearer than they calculated to be, at the time when the most tremendous explo sion that human art ever contrived took place, followed by the bursting, at once, in the air, of near 400 shells and 3,000 hand-grenades, pour ing down a shower of cast metal in every direction. But fortunately, the boat had reached, by unparalleled exertion, just beyond the extent of destruction. Unhappily, this effort to escape cost the life of the brave lieutenant, whom this noble captain saw die in the boat, partly under fatigue, and partly drowned with waves that continually broke over them. Two of the four s ailo rs were also s o nearly exhausted that their recovety was despaired of. Such were the perils encoun tered—yet when they reached their ship, the Imperieuse, it is known that Lord Cochrane was the first to go down to the attack, and was for more than an hour the only English man-of-war in the harbour. lie attacked and captured the Calcutta, which had one-third more guns than the Imperieuse. The sudden repetition of his operations was so dreaded by the enemy that they apprehended an equal explosion in every fire-ship, and immediat e ly crowding all their sail, ran before wind and tide so fast that the fire-ships, though at first very near. could not overtake them before they were high and dry on shore, except three seventy-fours, besides the Calcutta, which were afterwards engaged,, taken, and burnt. Seven went ashore, of which two three-deckers after wards got of, and went up the river. Two of the remaining fire were on their beam ends before Lord Cochrane came away. Lord Cochrane soon turned his attention to rescue the vanquished from the devouring elements; and in bringing away the people of the Ville de Varsovie, he would not allow even a doq to be abandoned, but took a crying little favourite up in Ids arms, and brought it away. But a still greater instance of goodness was displayed in his humanity to a Captiin of a French 74, who came to deliver his sword to Lord Coch leae, bementing that all he had in the world was about to be destroy ed by the molestation of his ship. His Lordship instantly got into the boat with him, and pushed off, to assist his prisont r in retrieving sow .- valuable property ; but, in passing by a 71, was on tire. 110 loaded guns began to go off, a shot from s!ocli killed the French Cap tain, by Lord Cochrane's side, and so damag , d :he boat, that she filled with water, and the rest of the party were neatly drowned. Lord Cods rape's brother, the Hon. Lieut. Colonel Basil Cochrane, an d a f r i en d , Lieut. Dimwit, R.N. were volunteers on board the Imperiause during this engagenient, and greatly distinguished themsdves. Shortly after his return Lord Cochrane attended a meeting at ;le! Freemasons' Tavern, and bestowed between 5901. and 6091. upon th, Society for the Promotion of Universal Education, being his lowels!iip's share of the prise-money which he had acquired upon this glorious or. casino. In these enterprises his Lordship not oily acquired great honour but considerable wealth. having, it is wild, shared no less than 130,9001. in:prize-tnoney. His Lordship, trey active and expiring. was now de sirous of obtaining* seat in Parliament, and essay :d fur that purpose• the borough of Honiton, but failed. He put up a>xond time, and suc ceeded, but a dissolution shortly afterwards taking place, he stood for Westminster, and was again successful. Here his Lordship continence( anew career, and, willt the same hardihood which characterised his at. tacks on foreign enemies, he made war upon those whom he deemed do. mestic foes. In short, Lord Cochrane playtd a very active par: in op. position, and exposed many naval abuses, which had fallen under h:s own observation. _ ..___... The hoax on the Stock Exchange, in 1814, in which his uncle, Mr. Cochrane Johnstone and some others were implicated, brought ruin upon Lord Cochrane, who was found guilty, by e Special Jury, on evidence almost purely circumstancial, and which his‘torship frequently must solemnly denied any knowledge of, or participation in. But this affair was regarded by the then existing Government as too favourable en orportunity to be omitted of wreaking upon him its full venpance for his political transgressions. And the Administration which could take the Lord Lieutenancy from a Nobleman of Lord Fluwllliam's worth and integrity might well be supposed capable of depriving a brave and meritorious Officer of his commission and honours. He was cone. quently removed from the i•eivice, stripped of his Order of the Bath, and expelled the House of Commons, besides fine and imprisonment inflicted by the Court of King's Bench. The punish. ment of the pillory, though decreed, was remitted. On the whole, after a lapse of sixteen years, it is considered that the punishment hits far ex-' ceded the offence, and, in that point of view, his Lordship -tt is more sinned against than sinning." Some have alleged that, in subsequently fighting the beide% of other nations, he has proved himself a hired mer cenary ; but surely that cannot, in fairness, exclusive* apply es a se. proach to Lord Cochrane, since Sir Sidney Smith is only a Swedish Knight, granted, some years Rine., for fighting their battles against the IRussians ; and no complaint was ever made against that gallant officer fur being a mercenary. Even Sir Robert Wilson is only a foreign Knight; and meny other officers in the British service have received their honorary distinctions from foreign powers. No man in the Navy could have displayed more zeal and gallantry on all occasions than Lord Cochrane. In fact, a genius after Lord Nelson's own heart—possessing a mind which no danger could appal, or difficulties overcome. It is re. served for the glory of Ling William IV. to restore him to his rank and station in that profession in which he has ever proved himself a dbl. tinguisbed ornament.
