Baines and Champion of the Seas, now loading in the
Coburg dock, Liverpool, yesterday afternoon, under the
presidency of Mr. Thomas M. Mackay, Mr. James
Baines (both owners) occupying the vice-chair. The
promoters, probably thinking that the affair was only
possessed of local interest, confined the invitations
(usually accorded to metropolitan correspondents in a
shipping port) to the local press, so that we regret to be
unable to furnish a report of the speeches on the occa-
sion, which we learn contained much interesting statis-
tical matter, but from persons present we learn that the
dejeuner was of the most magnificent description, and
worthy of the respectable firm who own the ships.

chants, of Bristol, went down the river this afternoon for
Kingroad, where Sir Geo. Grey, the newly-appointed Go-
vernor of the Cape of Good Hope, who has been staying
for some days at Clifton, accompanied by his suite, will
embark for his destination. The Seringapatam will
likewise take out with her a mail for the Cape and 105
passengers for the Cape and Melbourne, and is expected
to make a rapid voyage. Mr. G. P. Whittall, one of
the Bristol merchants, has recently made a sale of the
steamer Bournabat to the English Admiralty agent at
Constantinople, for the use of the allied fleets. She is
now in the Black Sea with the expedition against the
Crimea. This vessel was built by the late firm of Acra-
man, Morgan, and Co., and was purchased in 1846 of
the assignees of that firm by Mr. Whittall, and sent to
his friends at Smyrna, to be employed as a conveyance
from that port to the country residences of the merchants
of the place. The efficiency of the engines and building
of the vessel have been well tested.
