Ingham to have pulled up in time at the rate at

e spot where the accident occurred is very lonely;
a distance from any house; and I have heard of
iberies being committed there before- I think it

the surgeon then described the wounds, and, the
oner having summed up the evidence, the jury re-

e deceased was much respected, and it is the inten-
of Mr. Ingham to allow his widow and child an

in a previous paper, resigned the command for about a 12-
month, during which time he will be engaged in Egypt and
India, making arrangements for a new line of steam commu-

cutta, by steamers of the Peninsular and Oriental Company.
On quitting the command of the Great Liverpool at Alexan-
dria, the passengers presented Captain Engledue with a piece
of plate, in testimony of his worth as a commander and a
gentleman. Captain Engledue's departure from the Grea
Liverpool was marked by the highest compliment his officer:
and men could pay the commander whose orders it was al
ways a pleasure as well as a duty to obey. The steame,
saluted him with nine guns, manned yards, and the crew ii
a hotly expressed theit ardent wishes for their gallant cap
tain's welfare, and gave him three loud and hearty cheers.
