aunt, Mrs Means, who has been for some time u n

that Mrs Webster, widow OF the great statesman,

be tine, bu, I doubt her coming, as her peculiar
feeling and recent bereav avement would make such
a residence anything but agreeable. y ..f.,i IA

Mr.. Cunnrd, on entering the room, said he LAT

The gold pleda ior all Tie officers, and the sllye
medal iot ali the sailors. He also moved that il

MIR. Leigh then further moved that, 10 the cap
tain OF the Three Bells, $4,000 be appropriated
as he had done the most work; to the captain o
the Antarctic, $4,000; and to the captain of tn
Kilby 1000.
Mr.. Aspinwall stated that he was credibly in
formed that the captain of the Three Bells (Alr
Creighton) entered into contract with the quar-
t.rnn .fUprS nF So Fra IN
cisco, but he thoughtthe fact detracted nothing
from the praise winch had been awarded him. Ii
answer to an inquiry Air. a. further stated that h
believed the same contract was entered into witt
all the vessels. - 50 -I
MIR. Duer urged the distinction, because the cap
tain of the Three Bells was foreigner, and there
fore entitled TO the more praise.
Much opposition was evnced to the motion o
Mr.Leigh, giving larger sum TO the captain of III
Three Bells than 10 the captains OF the other tw
vessels. Mr. Tieston hoped no such distinctio
would be made. He was sure Capt. G. would no
thank them for it. Finally. Mr.. Brown moved Il
10 each OF the three captains. The amendmer
prevailed. fsl
