OGDEN, LATE COXSWAIN OF TILE

GREAT EASTERN.

. TO !TEE EDITOR •OF TEE' NORTHERN ~DIAD.I'. TIMES.
Stn,—On a recent occasion I heard the following.
remarks from the lipser an eminent young iministeraf
this town. In speaking .from the •words-•"iBe sobeY.,":
&c., he said, that probably at no period.oft.the- World'S
history were, men mere given to ,excesses than at the
present time; that man in our times:rarely-undertook
anythisg,. it mattered little what, !hut they,eventually
carried the same tot-excess. There is;i think, much
truth in these remasks—much that the newspaper reports
frOni day to day, and our own expenknces,of .every-daY
life, ,will more and more confirm; :and it strikes me, sir,
that during the last tow days we haveihacl a most striking
exemplification of this truth in the prooeedi,ngs con-
sequent on the death of the late crtitain•of the,Great
• Eastern. •
The loss of poor !Harrison was undoubtedly a .most,
lamentiNe affair; but iu our eagerness to, pay respect
to his memory,. 14e--ehoilld not forget,:that be • was
not the only one who,was lost upon that sad occasion ;
and I would- ask, in all respect far the memory .of
Qaptain Harrison, , whom I believe Ito Ilasoie been a
.most_lighly talented man, if we hame not been guilty .
of great excess in :this matter ? I have read many
accounts of the accident:in the daily papers, and in each
and all I find a notice, scarcely more than a passing
remark, of Ogden, hiscexswain, who was also lost by that
fearful. accident, and has left a wielow and family to
mourntis Toss. Now, should like to know in what
position this poor family:has been left; Was 'Ogden so
frugal and so saving as..to leave them in such-comforta-
ble circumstances that:it-.is undesirabte:and =necessary
to make a subscription for their benefit? If not;;I would
ask, Why have they been excluded from !participating in
the one that is being made for the family oteaptain
Harrison ?' Why not havo,put this.subscriptior as the
same fooling as the one .ratisekl for the saferers,:frore the
Royal .Charter, r and let 'it ~Rave been, Bahr: one man's
