~..:.~ JULY 11. ;wake was 440--the Shannon had but 310, so that the enemy bad 130 more than se had, and was superior by 150 tons tb the Shan non. It was delightfid, said the Captain, to see the Shannon after the engagement ; she slid not appear like a vessel that had been fighting, but looked as if she had given a salute, for not a single tope was cut. Mr Croker's speech, et' which our limits will not allow Os to give more than a slight sketch, was cheered through the liouse repeatedly. Lord CocHRANE said, he should not withdraw any of the opinions 1w had given upon a former night. He was as far as any man could be from detracting from the merits of our seamen, for he knew their worth as well ao any, but indeed he knew them so well as to itos:st upon acting for their benefit in every situation. He knew there was a necessity for inquiry into what he had complained of, and he could Never be dissuaded from the attempt, to put such an object into effect, either by an abusive speech or a triumphing ,vtinistry, who had used every improper and shuffling means to advance their favourites in the service, and to check those who had the glorious claim• 4t long service and unshaken intrepidity. He again stated that the loog confinement and severities to which stamen were ex posed, had distempered their minds as well as constitutions, but was willing to acknowledge that the late engagement was most brilliant. " That," said he, "is the way to fight, not to wait for repeated broadsides and shots from fias guns at the bow, when we have only two, but to board and cut our way to victory." After some words from Alderman Adkins and Admiral Markham, a division. took place, and the Speaker stated that there were against the motion 53—in favour of it none. Lord Cochrane and Sir Francis Burdett were tellers. The Report of the Committee on the East India Bill Will tl►tn discussed, And tl►e House adjonrnc.l. FRIDAY, JULY f.
