honours of war, stating however that he would
surrender to the squadron, because it was that
which had opened to the hostile forces the entrance
into the town. I replied to him, as on the former
occasion, that that concerned the commander-in-
chief.

It was on the 29th of September, 1860, at ten
o'clock a.m., that General Fanti informed me of the
convention respecting the surrender of the place,
and that the city of Ancona was in the power of
Victor Annanuel's troops. At this news hearty
cheers for the King and Italy, given by the men of
the squadron, resounded in the harbour. At this
moment a letter from General Lamoriciere was
handed to me by one of his aides-de-camp, in which
he asked my permission to come on board with his
staff. I answered him that, consistently with my
duty, he had only to command me, and I should be
at his service on my quarter-deck ; that I placed
my barge at his disposal, and an officer to do him
honour. He came on board next morning, accom-
panied by a numerous staff. I received him at the
head of the companion-ladder with every mark
of deference. He told me, on entering, that it was
the valour and skill of the fleet that had determined
him on surrendering the place. Bareheaded, I
invited him to pass into my cabin, which I placed
at his disposal. He showed himself touched at my
treatment, and uttered these words, worthy of the
exalted sentiments of a French soldier, " The brave
are always generous."
To give your Excellency an idea of the vigour
displayed in the operations of which I am now ad-
dressing to you the report, I have to say that in
less than three hours the Carlo Alberto alone dis-
charged more than 1,600 projectiles. Our loss in
men and material has been relatively very trifling.
During the engagement everyone did his duty in
a remarkable manner. I reserve to myself, Excel-
lency, the task of submitting to your notice the list
of those who, where all did their duty bravely, had
the opportunity of distinguishing themselves more
particularly, in order that his Majesty may grant
them such rewards as he shall think fit.—The
Rear-Admiral in command of the Squadron,
Turin, Oct. 8. DE PERSANO.

DoCk, whose good services ought not to be alto-
gether overlooked. Although in a humble sphere
of life, he has proved himself a good and careful
seaman. We refer to Mr. Irving, who has occu-
pied the position of Queen's Pilot, and in com-
mand of a dockyard lighter for the last 20 years.
Upon the arrival of the Channel Fleet at Milford
Haven Mr. Irving piloted them in and out twice.
The Great Eastern was also placed in her present
secure situation by the same person ; and he has
from time to time been engaged in services of great
trust and responsibility. We can only say that this
man deserves, at his time of life, and after the exe-
cution of so many public services, to be in a better
position than the rank now held by him, Second
Master, and we hope that his services will obtain
for him substantial promotion.
