§ In reply to Sir WILLIAM CROSSMAN (Portsmouth),
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)said, that the Indian troopships which it was proposed to place at the disposal of the Houses of Parliament on the occasion of the Naval Review afforded the best accommodation of any vessels over which the Admiralty had control. Their draught, however, was not such that they could enter Portsmouth Harbour at all states of the tide; but arrangements would be made by which tugs would be in attendance for the accommodation of those who may wish to return early.
