THE ROYAL MERSE Y YACHT
CLUB.
TESTIMONIAL TO THOMAS LITTLEDALE, ESQ.
It will be in the recollection of our readers that at a
recent meeting of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, a re6o-
lution was entered into to present their Commodore,
Thomas Littledale, Esq., with a testimonial of their re-
sp-ct for, and admiration of, his manly and humane e,,n-
duct on board kis yacht, the Q I,lln i. f the Cle,an, on the
occasion of the loss of the 0, eau Monarch. 'Phis reso-
lution has been carried into etfec-; and on Afon;la:.- the
gallant Commodore was entertained at a sumptuous
banquet by his brother yachters of the Royal Mersey
Club, at their rOOlll3, WiIIVII were elegarrly aryl !Leyte-
fully fitted up for the occa-inn, with fl ga and b...nners,
models of yachts, ships, and other appropriate nautical
emblems.
In pursuance of the. abOve noticed resoluq. n, a more
substantial mark of the esteem of the chit) to Mr. Little-
dale, for his heroic conduct, titan 5. there invitation to
dinner was resolved upon; and for that purl) ;se au ele-
gant massive gold snuff. box was subscribed for, and
which was presented to him ua. Monday. This box, which
is Sti inches long by Si broad, and which is valued
for 100 guineas, is certainly one of the chastest
and most perfect specimens of workmanship which we
have beheld. On the top is a fine representation of tke
dreadful calamity which is sought to be commemorated
by the testimonial, taken from the drawing of that dire
event which was recently published by Mr. H. Melling,
the hon. secretary of the club, and which has been so
much admired. In a small semicircular niche above the
design is placed the crest of the club, and the whole is
surrounded by a deep, massive, and well-worked margin,
in alto relief, of scroll and foliated trellis work. The
sides are sectionally of the ogee shape, chased and
highly ornamented. On the front side of the box is the
arms of Mr. Littledale; the back being free from any
design. Omthe bottom, which is protested by a massive
border, on which it, is intended to slide round a table.
when so used, there is a rich engraving of a " sailing
prow," or ancient vessel, approaching land, with a Ds at
villa and wooded country in the back ground. On the
interior of the lid is the following appropriate in
scription
f•• Presented by the members of the Royal Mersey
Yacht Club to their Commodore, Thomas Littledale,
Esq., as a memorial of their admiration of the humanity
he displayed on board his yacht, the Queen of the Ocean,
in saving, under circumstances of great difficulty, the
lives of thirty-two of the crew and passengers belonging
to the emigrant ship Ocean Monarch, of Boston, which
was destroyed by fire in the bay of Abergele, on Thurs-
day, the 24th of August, '1848.'
The arrangements for the comfort and satisfaction of
the guests, who were about'seventy in number, were of
the most excellent kind. The cuisine and wines were
supplied by that prince of caterers, Mr. Lynn of the
Waterloo, end, on this (occasion, it is but justice to say
that he fully sustained his already well-earned name.
The chair was occupied by the Earl of Sefton, on whose
right sat the Commodore Thomas Littledale, Esq ; E.
Cardwell, Esq., M.P. ; Admiral Grenfell ; Captain '
Froes ; Captain Lisboa ; and Bramley Moore, Esq. ;
on his left, W. Brown. Esq., M.P. ; Sir Thomas Birch,
M.P. ; and Captain Ward. The vice-chairs were ably
filled by Mr. Fletcher, the eup-bearer of the club, and
Mr. Melling, the Hon. Sec. We also observed amongst
the company Messrs. Harold, Littledale, A. Molyneux,
Edward Watson Lloyd, Commodore of the Royal Dee
Yacht Club; Parker, Moss, Bennett, Lieutenant Lord, W.
Perry, E. Littledale, J. Holmes, J. Woodhouse, W. D.
Bold, S. P. Hope, T. Birchill, H. Brideson, of Man-
chester, G. Foliett, of Chester, F. Peel, R. M'Lean, and
S. Bright.
The good things of the table having been done ample
justice to and the cloth removed,
The CHArnasasr rose, and, in a neat and elegant
speech gave " The health of her Most Gracious Majesty
the Queen, Duchess of Lancaster, our Royal Patroness."
Drank with all the loyal honours.
Air—" The National Anthem."
The next toast was "The Queen Dowager ;" which
was followed by " Prince Albert and the Royal Family;"
both of which were received with the utmost enthusiasm.
After some oiler toasts the meeting separated.
