ADMIRAL FARRAGUTs OFFICIAL VISIT TO THE
MONARCH-HIS CEREMONIOUs RECEPTION
TIE GREAT IRON-CLAD THROWN OPEN TO
THE PUBLIC.
PORTLAND Jan. 27.-The only ceremonies to-day,
in connection with the arrival of Mr.. Peabodys re-
MAINS has been the official visit of Admiral Farragut
to Capt. COmmerell.
1t is gratifying that the finest ship in the British
navy has been welcomed on this memorable occa-
sion, by the gallant gentleman who is the pride of
our own service. and whose presence is greater
compliment than the guns of whole fleet of ships.
The Admiral left the wharf about noon, in the
steam tender Leyden. accompanied by Rear-Admiral
Thatcher Capt. Amy, Commander Harmony, Com
mander Fairfax, Gov. Chamberlain, the officers Of
the United States army stationed in this harbor Mrs.
Farragut, Mrs. Chamberlain, the Mayor of the city,
and few other persons.
As soon as his vessel was leaving the dock the
whole fleet beat to quarters The marine guards
filed out deck and the yards of the Monarch and
the Plymouth were fully manned, the former vessel
sending aloft nearly 200 men. The Admiral and the
Governor with their respective stats put off from
the Leyden in a smaller tug, and went on board the
ship little than the rest of the party. Capt
Commerell received them with due ceremony at the
gangway. the marines presenting arms the bugle
sounding flourish, and the band of the ship playing
the National airs while the guests passed down the
long line of officers who stood drawn up in imposing
array; all wearing their snowy full dress uniform,
with chapeaux side arms, and white kid gloves.
Capt Commerell. courteous and vivacious gen
tleman of middle age, has won distinction in the
service for he wears the Victoria Gross and is
Commander of the Bath" The Admiral spent a
long time with him examining the ship, and in par
ticular studying the peculiarities of the guns and
~ Of In, ,.ti.
the machinery for loading, raising, and depressing
the guns was tried, and caps were exploded to show
the peculiar method by which both pieces in a turret
can be discharged at once.
The Mortuary Chapel was of course visited It's
appearance was far more impressive this morning
than when first saw it, A rich velvet pail
thrown across the lower half of the coffin. natural
flowers were spread about the steps of the platform
the candles were all alight, and fat the ihead two
sentries o sailor, and marine, Stood with averted
faces, leaning upon their muskets.
From the Monarch the Admiral went abO ardthe
Plymonth and was received with similar honors and
then his tug steamed slowly around the Monitors,
whose crews, having no yards to man, stood drawn
ND on deck or Oh the bridges, and made what show
they could Etiquette forbids that salutes should he
fred OH funeral occasion like this. Etiquette also
forbade that the public should be admitted TO the
ships until the Admiral had paid his official visit this
afternoon However TO the great relief of thousands
who have been all day sailing around the great iron
clad and begging in the most pitiiul, and sometimes
comeal terms, to be taken aboard, the Monarch has
been thrown open To the public; a Government tug
taking visitors across from the wharf. The rush has
been tremendous ard it will probably continue all
day tomorrow. Many of the delegations and I'M
official visitors from other cities have gone away.
purposing. however. to return on Saturday, when
the display will probably be much grander and the
number of visitors greater than yesterday.
