• THE GREAT EASTERN.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.

At a meeting of the members of the Chamber of
Commerce, held last evening, the conditions upon
which the great ship was coming to Southampton,
and questions as to the eligibility of making this
port the place for her call and departure, and other
interesting matters relating thereto, were discussed;
and it was afterwards proposed and unanimously
carried that the Chamber of Commerce invite the
directors of the Great Ship Company to a banquet.
It has also been resolved at a meeting of the com-
mittee of the Southampton Club—" That on the
arrival of the Great Eastern an invitation shall be
given to Capt. Harrison and the officers of that ship
to the free use and privileges of the club during
their continuance in this port; also that a deputa-
tion, consisting of the president, &c., shall wait on
Capt. Harrison for the purpose of presenting the
same.'

The Great Eastern left Holyhead for Southamp-
ton between 12 and 1 o'clock this day. She will
be here on Friday.

The Plymouth Mail says A rumour has
reached us, through the medium of an eminent en-
gineer, that Plymout:i will ultimately be the Great
Eastern's port of departure."
