MB LATE CAPTAIN HARRISON.

The calamitous accident which occurred at South-
ampton on Saturday last, and which threw a gloom
over the town, is still exciting much sympathy.
Captain Lay (the superintendent purser) has quite
recovered, but Mrs. Harrison is still in great mental
distress. An inquest was held on the body of
Charles Ogden, the coxswain of the boat which
capsized, when some little additional evidence to
that on the former inquiry was taken. A verdict
of " Accidentally drowned" was returned.
A meeting of the Southampton Town Council was
held at the Audit-house yesterday afternoon, to con-
sider what steps should be taken to testify the
respect of the corporation to the memory of Capt.
Harrison, and to record their sympathy and con-
dolence with his bereaved widow and family. The
mayor, Mr. F. Perkins, opened the proceedings
with a most feeling address. In reference to the
mode in which the inhabitants of Southampton may
testify their feelings upon that melancholy occasion,
he said it was intended that the corpse should be
conveyed from the residence at Fremantle on Thurs-
day, at 1 o'clock, passing through the town to the
railway station, from whence it will be conveyed to
London, and onwards to Liverpool, where the mor-
tal remains of the deceased will be interred. It
was proposed that the shops in Southampton shall
be closed during the time the body passes through
the town. Muffled peals will be rung on the bells
of the various churches, and minute-guns will be
fired from the platform battery. Mr. E. Talk (the
ex-mayor) read an address, which it was unanimously
agreed should be presented to Ms. Harrison, re-
cording the unfeigned sorrow and regret of the
council at the loss the town and country at lar3:nd
