The King of Greece and his Uncle.

ATHENS, Feb. 1.

A circumstance occurred here the day before yes-
terday which has provoked considerable public com-
ment. Prince Julius of Glucksburg, one of the
King's uncles, has been staying at Athens for some
days on a visit to his Majesty. During King
George's absence from the palace on Monday Prince
Julius received Messrs. Mavrocordato, Tricoupi,
Miaoulis, Bulgaris, Zaimis, Coundourioti, and
Christides in his private apartments. These gentle-
men represent nearly every shade of political opi-
nion among the Opposition.

After a few words of welcome Prince Julius said
that he had requested their presence to ask them a
few questions upon the present state of Greece,
which, from all he could hear, did not appear to be
very satisfactory. M. Mavrocordato replied that
they were hardly in a position to afford precise in-
formation upon the required points, which could
only be given by the Ministry. Prince Julius then
inquired about the persons comprising the Court,
to which M. Triqoupi hastened to reply that the
presence near the King of an irresponsible Coun-
cillor was contrary to constitutional principles.
Count Sponneck had more than once interfered in
the affairs of Greece, and his position therefore was
very equivocal. He admitted, however, that in his
private capacity the count had always conducted
himself with propriety, and that no exception could
be taken to his manners.
M. Bulgaris agreed with the observations of the
preceding speaker, stating that, under his Ministry,
Count Sponneck had interfered with the business of
Government, had often asked questions upon the
condition of affairs, had given advice, and tried to
learn all that took place.

M. Zaimis was of a different opinion. He thought
the King should have a councillor about his person
to advise and watch over his Majesty, and that there
was no objection to that councillor being the King's
uncle instead of Count Sponneck. The speaker
declared that, under his administration, Count
Sponneck never intered with the business of Govern-
ment, that the Ministers had only private relations
with him, and had access to the King without any
intermediate person.
M. Christides agreed with M. Zaimis upon the
necessity of a councillor for the King, and also
stated that Count Sponneck had never interfered
with the business of Government while he had been
in the Cabinet.

M. Miaoulis, while also of opinion that the King
ought to have a private adviser, abstained from
saying anything with regard to Count Sponneck.
He had not taken any part in public affairs before
the revolution, and was therefore not in a position
to express an opinion.
Prince Julius next asked his visitors what they
thought of the Ministry. MM. Bulgaria and
Christides answered that the Government was very
badly conducted, and that after the dissolution of
the Assembly a Cabinet ought to have been formed
not belonging to either of the two extreme parties.
The obstinacy of Count Sponneck alone had re-
tained the present Ministry in office, contrary to the
interests of the country.

M. Bulgaria here flatly accused M. Christides of
flagrant self-contradiction. He had first stated that
Count Sponneck never interfered with public busi-
ness, and he now declared that the present Ministry
owed to him their continuance in office. This he
hearsay--a method unworthy
ocofula dpuobnlilye kinnaonw. from hearsa
M. Mavrocordato remarked upon the difference of
opinion expressed by men who had been in the
Cabinet and who belonged to opposite parties.
Prince Julius lastly asked whether his visitors
considered the departure of Count Sponneck would
remove all difficulties ? To which M. Tricoupi re-
plied in the negative. The interview then ended.
-;Upon the King's return to the palace, and being
informed of what had taken place, hls Majesty ex
pressed extreme annoyance. The Ministry, not less
astonished, had met at the residence of M. Kanaris,
the President of the Council, and were still in deli-
beration as to the best course to adopt, when they
received orders to present themselves before the
King. It was then late in the evening. His Ma-

The fall of Fort Fisher, as you truly remark,
presents points of deep interest to the country and
to those who study the art of war. lam convinced
to a very great extent of the soundness of Admiral
Porter's conclusion, for there can be no doubt that
Fort Fisher was a much more formidable work than
the Malakhoff, with the advantage of modern ord-
nance and science. But when he draws an exulting
comparison between the prolonged and honourable
resistance of the Malakhoff against the allied forces
of Great Britain and France and the rapid capture
of Fort Fisher by the Federals, I must beg to differ,
as there is no analogy in the events ; for, while
Fort Fisher " was captured by a handful of men,
under the fire of the guns of the fleet," and in
" seven hours after the attack commenced in ear-
nest," the Malakhoff Tower was free from the fire of
the guns from the allied fleets. We once went in
at the sea faces of Sebastopol with an enormous
force of wooden ships, unaided by ironclads, and we
never tried it again. All who saw these magnifi-
cent fleets defied by a lesser number of guns in a
fortress deplored this waste of power, dooming
thousands of fine fellows to be comparatively inac-
tive spectators of a great struggle. This first sug-
gested to me the necessity of having some machines
better adapted for the offensive purposes of warfare

than wooden three-deckers like the Victoria, and I
then proposed Monitors, or rather " Lady
Nancy" rafts, for this purpose. How far my views
were right has been answered by the fall
of Fort Fisher, although it may be said the Moni-

tors did not succeed at Charleston. But an attack

by sea to be successful must always depend upon
being able to concentrate a numerical superiority of
guns against any portion of a stronghold, so as to
silence its offensive powers, when the other contin-
gent and outlying works must fall in detail, if not
evacuated, as in the case of Fort Fisher. But in
the case of the Charleston affair there were only 23
guns afloat brought to bear against some 100 guns,
besides the difficulties of an intricate channel and
confined waters. At present I will leave the ques-
tion of forts and ships, as now the great interest of
this country is ship against ship, for it is in the
open sea we shall have to test our supremacy, and
it is as well in the great race of reconstruction now
going on to weigh carefully Admiral Porter's and
others' remarks, elicited as they have been by ac-
tual warfare.

In your leading article of the 6th you point out
the tonnage of these Monitors. First, let me call
attention to the smallness of these vessels compared
with any we have that could attempt to cope with
them. The smaller Monitors are 1,034 tons, and
the Monadnock, although only 1,564 tons, Admiral
Porter says would destroy any vessel we have in the
British navy. In this I cannot agree with the gallant
Admiral, for I believe the Royal Sovereign—though
but a conversion—if she had proper guns supplied
her, to be a good match for the Monadnock. How-
ever, on both sides of the water it. now appears: to
be admitted that in actual fight of ship against
ship the turret ship must have great superiority.
Our larger ships run up to 6,000 tons, and we
have no ironclad approaching so small a tonnage as
these monitors, except the Research and Enterprise,
which have not as yet been tried in a gale of wind,
and cannot even attempt to carry these heavy guns.
Admiral Porter says, for all services he would
prefer the Ironsides to the Monadnock, but that the
latter would be more than a match for her.

I have not the list of the Federal navy before me,
but I believe the Ironsides is 3,400 tons, and conse-
quently twice as large as the Monadnock. There-
fore the question is now reduced to the respective
sea-going qualities of these vessels and general com-
forts of the crew while on service. This, however,
must be a matter of comparison, as we find from
the little experience gained at sea with our ironclads
that they are all condemned as sea-going vessels,
except the four first constructed—Warrior, Black
Prince, Defence, and Resistance, which leads us to
the unpalatable conclusion that the bulk of our iron
dads are little better than floating batteries, but
could all be knocked to pieces by the Royal Sove-
reign or Monadnock. The experience of the Moni-
tors in gales of wind (which none of ours have been
in except the Warrior and Prince Consort), will
show that the turret principle, adapted for sea-going
ships as I propose, would possess a very great ad-
vantage over our fleet of floating batteries, both for
comfort and the essentials of a sea-going ship.
We hear of these Monitors being only one or two
feet out of the water, with their turrets amidships,

wholly exposed, the lower portion and base of the
turret is protected by a square or circular box, which
admits of another deck and light topsides being
built up at the extremities over which the guns fire,
and giving this extra space between decks for the
accommodation of the crew above the water line,
instead of being cooped up below the water line.
The weight of this extra deck and upper works
would require but a small increase of tonnage to
these Monitors, and would not then bring them up
to anything like half the tonnage of our sea-going
Warrior or floating batteries, at the same time pre-
serving the light ends, which, with the weights cen-
tralised, is the secret of these Monitors' good beha-
viour in a seaway, and thus combining a commodious
vessel with a deck sufficiently high out of the water

Monitors.

I will not enter into particulars of defensive
powers beyond that on the turret principle, from
from the small area to be plated in proportion to
the broadside system, greater thickness of armour
can be given, or with the same thickness greater
speed. Admiral Porter says he would rather be
behind a wooden vessel's side, where he knew what
was coming, than inside a turret, but that the cap-
tains of the Monitors have the greatest confidence
in their vessels ; and the few casualties in the Mo-
nitors show us the gallant Admiral would have a
better chance of telling his tale after fighting an
action behind ten inches of iron in a turret than
three feet of wood.

The American reports are well worth attention.
Every word of Admiral Porter's should be weighed,
and, for my part, those opinions, as well as the
Rolfe Krake's and Russian Monitors' behaviour in
gales of wind, leave me nothing further to say. But
as nearly all our heavy ironclads, which Lord C.
Paget tells us have cost nearer half than a quarter
of a million each, are not seaworthy, is it not a pity
that in the year 1865 we should have no seagoing
turret ship in the British navy which, by a fair and
unprejudiced trial, would enable us to judge for
ourselves how far the Americans are right, and the
turret can be used for security to our country and

commerce ?
Since writing the above I have received a publica-
tion from America, in which, in describing the

PORTSMOUTH, Monday.
The court sat at half-past nine this morning,
being the fifth day of this inquiry.
Mr. Watts, the master, was recalled, and, ques-
tioned as to the stowage beneath the handing-room
of the after magazine. There were 60 or 70 boxes
of candles stored there, as well as a quantity in the
bread-room. They were stowed in the starboard
wing. There was a large quantity on board. If a
lighted candle had fallen from the handing-room
flat it would have fallen only upon casks of flour.
William Aldred, chief gunner's mate, said he was
in the after magazine. All the proper magazine
men were there on the afternoon of the 14th, until
the retreat was beaten. He locked up the maga-
zine. He did that afternoon send up to say that
the lights burnt badly. One of the candles went out.
It grew more and more dim until it went out. This
was the light at the fore-end. He did not remember
seeing the lamp-trimmer that day, but through the
bull's-eye saw the ship steward's boy replacing the
burnt-out candle by another. He saw no one about
the lights about the time this candle began to grow
dim. No light could have been taken away from
that part of the ship, or they would have been left
in perfect darkness. He missed no light from the
starboard side of the magazine. He had no idea
how the fire originated.
Pasco William Priddell, the ship's steward's boy,
was recalled, and said he did not take down a second
candle. He lighted the candles in the light room
with a lantern, having a piece of " dip" in it. He
did not blow the dip out after that, but took it up
in the lantern and lighted the one light on the orlop
deck, and also the four lights in the bread room.
He did not take a lantern down with him the second
time. He was subjected to a severe cross-examina-
tion, but in no particular of importance was his evi-
dence in chief altered.

The President—On your oath, can you say you
did not at any time by accident drop a light of any
sort into the hold, or any other place ?

Witness—l can swear that I did no such thing.
I can swear I never dropped a naked light in any
dangerous place whatever.
William Brennan, gunner's mate, could give no
information as to the fire, he having been on the
doctor's list.. He was in the water over an hour and
a half, hanging on by a rope. He could not swim.
He was much annoyed during that tiNe by falling
.parg And molten load.' He was taken off by Mr.
Mandeville in the second trip, and then volunteered
to go in again.

The President—lt is-highly creditable to you then.
Witness had .on the frock he wore at the time ; it
was much marked by molten lead, some of which
also burnt the hair from his head.

Thomas James, bandsman, was in the shell-room
on the 14th, but saw no one about who was not sta-
tioned there. He remained there until the fire-bell
rang,
,and when he left neither saw fire nor smoke.

Henry Rogers, second captain of the hold, said
he was last in the hold on the day before the fire.
He had never known a leakage to occur in the
breaker, or in any cask in the spirit-room. He was
on the upper deck when the fire-bell rang, and
afterwards went to the foremost pump on the orlop
deck.

James Garrahan, assistant engineer, was recalled,
and said he was stationed in the engine-room at
fire-quarters, and remained there about half an hour
after the fire-bell rang. An order passed from the
upper deck was the occasion of his leaving. The
engine-room was then filled with dense smoke, the
lights were going out, and the flames coming in by
the store.

The Court then adjourned for one hour and a
half, to enable Captain Campbell to prepare his
defence. On the Court re-opening all the officers
and crew of the late Bombay were admitted into
Court. The defence was as follows :
Mr. President and gentlemen of this hon. Court
—lf anything could alleviate the great pain which I
feel at finding myself, for the first time during a
period of 20 years years of service in the navy, in
the position I now occupy before the Court, it lies
in the consoling reflection that the investigation
which has just closed has not, I would most respect-
fully submit, elicited any fact which should oblige
me to qualify the statement I am about to make in
defence, either of my own conduct or that of the
officers and crew under my command. Even this,
however, fails to compensate for the great distress
of mind which the loss of the fine ship lately under
my command, and of so many valuable lives, has
caused me. I need scarcely assure the Court that
did we not all feel that, humanly speaking, every
possible exertion was made to save both the ship
and those on board of her, and that the disaster is
not traceable to any neglect of duty or carelessness
on the part of the officers or the crew, that distress
would have been most deeply aggravated. Prior to
this inquiry no pains have been spared to arrive
at the cause of the catastrophe, and the result
of the present searching investigation will account
for the failure of our efforts, and will prove to the
Court how unavailing all attempts to unravel this
mystery must be. Our most earnest desire through-
out has been to discover the origin of the fire, and
with this view we have courted the fullest inquiry.
I trust the Court will bear testimony to the willing-
ness and openness with which all information has
been afforded both by officers and crew, and that it
will consider that the evidence so elicited as to the
state of order the ship was in fully justifies the eulo-
glum passed upon the Bombay by the admiral,

between decks, was only equalled by the devotion
displayed by many of those in the boats, who, not-
withstanding the fact that some of the guns were
shotted, that masts were falling over the side, that
the whole ship was wrapped in flames, and that an
explosion was imminent, pulled in and picked up
those who, unable to swim, were still clinging to the
ship ; thus saving by means of the ship's boats
alone 525 lives out of 619. When it is remembered
that in the year 1800 the Queen Charlotte, of 100
guns, carry the flag of Lord Keith, was burnt off
Leghorn, three or four leagues from the shore, and
only 167 men saved out of the whole crew, although
many hours elapsed before they were compelled to
desert the ship, and assistance was rendered from
the shore ; and that in 1807, the Ajax, 74, Captain
the lion. H. Blackwood, was burnt in the Dar-

it
will
be
the
parallel in the records of the navy, the ability
and promptitude with which the necessary measures
were carried out by the officers, and the order and
discipline displayed
have l'the crew of her Majesty's lato
ship Bombay, never been surpassed. I have
already alluded to those acts of gallantry conspicu-
ously displayed at a time when all were vieing with
each other in doing their duty, and I will therefore
now confidently leave it to the Court to appreciate
their conduct, without "reviewing the details which
have been already before it ; but I cannot refrain
from saying here that to Commander iVilson I am
chiefly indebted for the admirable arrangements and
excellent discipline which had prevailed previously,
which I hope has been apparent to the Court ; and it
is to the pertinent suggestions, noble, self-devoted
conduct, that I mainly attribute, under Providence,
the fact of our being enabled to save so many lives.
With reference to the remaining officers of her Ma-
jesty's late ship Bombay, and the ship's company
generally, I feel that in making this statement
if I have failed to create the favourable im-
pression on their behalf which they deserve, it
is due to no lack of desire upon my part to repre-
sent their merit, but rather to the want of ability to
express it. We have all been placed upon our trial,
but it has devolved upon me alone to assure this
Court—which I now do in the name of myself and
of those whom I have the honour to command—
that we are unconscious of any act of negligence to
which the fire could be attributed, and that when
this appalling disaster overtook us we endeavoured,
in so far as in us lay, to do our duty as British
officers and seamen.

The above defence was supplemented by two
letters, one of which referred to the kindness with
which all hands were treated by both French and
Italians at Monte Video, and which spoke in the
highest terms of the great sympathy shown towards
them and the assistance rendered under the dis-
tressing circumstances.
The Court adjourned to consider their judgment,
and remained in consultation one hour. •

THE JUDGMENT.
The Officiating Judge Advocate then read the
following judgment :—The Court having heard the
narrative of the said Captain Colin A. Campbell of
the circumstances relating to the loss of her Ma-
jesty's ship Bombay, find that the ship was, on the
14th December, 1864, destroyed by fire off Flores
Light, in the River Plate ; but after a patient and
careful investigation, extending over a period of five
days, are of opinion there is no evidence among the
surviving officers and crew of the said ship by which
the origin of such fire can be traced, and do there-
fore adjudge the said Colin A. Campbell and all the
surviving officers and ship's company of her Ma-
jesty's late ship Bombay to be acquitted of the
blame in respect thereto. The-Court are of opinion
that after the fire was discovered all efforts were
made to subdue it, but proved unavailing
in consequence of the extremely complete
state of the ventilation of the ship causing the
fire to gain ground with extraordinary rapidity ;
that the ship was not abandoned till all hopes of
saving her were at an end, and the officers and crew
forced overboard by the flames ; that the steadiness
and discipline displayed and maintained under the
very trying circumstances were extremely creditable
to the captain, officers, and ship's company, and
that the saving of such a large number of the ship's
company was mainly due to the foresight with which
the boats were hoisted out; that the said Captain
C. A. Campbell and the surviving officers of the
ship's company are hereby fully acquitted of all
blame accordingly. The court cannot separate
without calling attention to the mode of ventilating
the spirit room in her Majesty's late ship
Bombay, whereby easy access was afforded
by fire to the spirit room, and are of opinion
that every precaution should be taken to secure the
spirit-room against such access. The Court consi-
der it a duty to call the attention of the Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty to the many instances
of heroism and devotion exhibited by the officers
and men in the numerous cases that have been men-
tioned in these proceedings, and that the example set
by the officers must have contributed largely to the
saving of so many lives.
The President said—Captain Campbell, I have the
greatest pleasure in returning you your sword ;
Commander Wilson the same, and to the officers
the same also. lam sure that the way you have all
behaved is most creditable to you.

Captain Campbell, receiving his sword, said—l
beg in the name of the officers and ship's company
to thank the Court for their kind expressions in
relation to their conduct.
The proceedings then terminated. •
