our own had exhibited. The two Houses
Of Congress united in joint resolution, vo.

vessel OF the crew who found it, and to-
present it to the English government as 8 i.zg
token of the friendly feelings entertained :by.s
that country for our own. This exactly :tfuls
lowed out the whole course of. events in 4:
which the Resolute had figured. The search

the American government stop short at the s
mere return of the ship as it foated. In 3
the words of the New York Times, she has
been repaired and fitted with the utmost
care at the expense of our government, with
the design of restoring her to the Queen in !,

compelled her crew to abandon her. The;
vessel, thus renovated, has been placed in !;
the charge of Capt. II. j. Hartstein, one of
the officers of the late Arctic expedition, d
who has brought her to Portsmouth. IT,
appears to us that the ship has thus acquired
a value which it did not possess when it i
first left the builders hands. Every sword,
every telescope, every quadrant has gained
something more precious than covering of
gold in the friendly care which has BEEN
bestowed upon it. Nothing can have been !;
more handsome than the whole conduct of
the American government, from first to last =
but most especially in the graceful attention
to small details. Will not the American
officers be welcomed? OF course they will:
A right hearty English Christmas welcomesS
will be given to Capt. Hartstcin, his officers
and his crew, by every Englshrnan, ay, and
every. Englishmah, that can win the, pres 4
