PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 1. THE AVENGER. --- The
example set by the ship's company of the Excellent, in
subscribing a day's pay for the widows and orphans of
those persons who were unfortunately wrecked in this
steamer, has been followed by several other ships, and
money has been sent to the Captain of the Excellent by
other persons. It will be submitted to the Admiralty
that the allotments of the seamen and marines may. be
continued for a limited period, and the money subscribed
paid over for the purpose to the Accountant• General.
There must be, however, many persons connected with
the crew who are objects of commiseration, and whose
claims must be inquired into. The Commander-in-
Chief's secretary at this port will receive subscriptions.
Admiral Sir Byam Martin, G.C.8., has subscribed 101.,
and Captain H. Williams, R.N., 51. The day's pay of
the officers and crew of such ships as the Excellent
amounts to about 60Z
