He has forgiven her for all the past, and theyhre friends and ret- cousins again ;'but there is no room for hope thot they, can ever be again what they have been.

At 11:10 the Ala- `. bama commenced the action by ring with her starboard battery at a distance of about a mile. The Kearsage also ' opened fire immediately with starboard grins, and a sharp engagement, with rapid ,` ring from both ships, was kept up. Both vessels made seven complete circles ata distance of from a quarter to half a mile. At 12 o clock the ring from the Alabama was observed to slacken, and , she appeared to be making head sail, and shaping her course for land, which was distant about nine miles. At 12:30 the Couledente vessel was in adisabled and sinking state. The Deerhound immedi- ately made towards her and in passing the Kearsage was requested to assist in _ saving the crew of the Alabama. W'hen . hound then lowered her boats and with the Deerhound was still ata distance of ` I00 rods, the Alabama sank. The Deer- the assistance of those from the Alabama A succeeded in saving about 30 men, in- t eluding Semmes and 13 officers. The Alabama s loss in killed and wounded is as follows:'-Dro\vned, one officer and one man ; killed, six men, wounded one oicer and 16 men. Captain Semmesis slightly wounded in the hand. A The Kearsage s boats f ; were lowered, and with the assistance of ; the French pilot succeeded in picking up` ; the remainder of the. crew. Vmtan I/'n.-....'.....

The pirate Semmes and part of the crew were saved by the English yacht Deera hound. Semmes was slightly wounded in the hand. Before going out the pirate left all his chronometers, 60 in number, specie and ransom bonds at Cherbourg. Further details but nothing additional of moment relative to the Kearsage and Alabama ght are given; The where- abouts of the Kearsage is doubtful. One rumorplaces her at Ostend, another at Cherbourg. V She landed some wounded at Cherbourg. It isconrmed that no one was killed on the Kearsage and only three seamen slightly wounded. The vessel sustained very little injury. Semmes declined 11 public dinner at Southampton and had gone to Paris to report to the Confederate commissioner. -Three of the Alabama s oicers and 6 of the crew were landed at Cherbourg from a French pilot boat; also several from the British ship Acton.

When the stern was completely under water Captain Semmes gave or- ders for the men to save themselves as best they could, and every one jumped into the sea and swam towards the boats which had put otI'to their rescue.

Be this as it may, it. is certain that the Alabama commenced the ring, and as it is known that her guns were pointed for a range of two thousand yards, and that the second shot she red, in about half a minute after the rst, went right into the Kearsage, that may be taken as the real distance between the two ships. The ring became general from both vessels at the distance of a little undera mile, and was well sustained on both ` sides, Mr. Lancaster s impression being V that at no time during the action were _ they less than a quarter of a mile from each other. Seven complete circles were . made in the period over which the ght lasted. It was estimated on board the Deerhound that the Alabama red in all , about one hundred, and fty rounds, some single guns, and some in broadside: of three or four, and the Kearsage about one hundred, the majority ofwhich were eleven-inch shells. The Alabama s were principally Blakeley s pivot guns. In the early part of the action the relative riugwas about three from the Alabama to one from the Kearsage, but asit proa grassed the later gained the advantage, having apparently a much greater power of steam. She `appeared to have an advantage over the Alabama of about three knots an hour, and steam was seen rushing out of her blowpipe all through the action, while the Alabama seemed to have very little steam on.

The distance between the two contend- ing vessels when the Alabama opened re was estimated on board the Deer- hound at about a mile, while the Alaba- ma s officer tells me that she was a mile auda half away from the'Kearsage when she red the first shot.

Mr. Lansdell s mind. .I-IIID IIIIIVJI Mr. Lansdell had been his own master from his earliest. nmnhood,iAf'or his father and mother had died young. The Lansdells were not a long-livedrnce; indeed, there seemed to he a kind of fatality attached to the masters of Mor- dred Priory; and in, the long galleries where the portraits of dead-and-gone Lansdells looked gravely down upon the frivoious creatures of to-day, the stanger was apt to be impressedby the youth of, all the faces,-the absence of those gray beards and bald foreheads which give dignity to most collections of family portraits. The Lansdells of Mordred were not a long`-lived race, and Roland s father had died suddenly while the boy was `away at Eton; but his mother,` Lady `Anna Lansdell,'onlyv sister of the - present Earl of Rnysdale,`lived to be her son s companion and friend in the best and brightest years of his life-- His life 'seemed to lose its brightness when he lost: her; and I think this -one great ' grief; acting naturally pensive Onnnnnronaanf n1I1ef".hn-VA rlnnn .I llI!h `IO . endure.

He had no ulterior object to. gain, re- member. He had no solemn convic- tion of a sacred duty to be performed at` any cost to himself, in spite of every hindrance, in the face of every opposi- tion. He only wanted to be useful to . his fellow-creatures ; and when he found that they repudiated his efforts, he fell away from them, andresigned himself to be useless, and to let his iellow-crea- tures `go their own wilful way. So al- most immediately after making, a brilli- ant speech a-boutcthe poor-laws, at the very moment when people we_re,talking of him as on`e"of the mosrpromising young Liberals of his day, Mr. Lansdell abruptly turned his back upon -St. Stephen s accepted the Chiltern Hun- dreds, and went abroad.
