unboats, a crowd of twenty thousand persons, with many naval officers, united in one voice in saying that the "Virginia" is "splendidly managed." One of us (Pilot George Wright) piloted the French ship "Gassendi" from-Norfolk, with the French Minister on board, and had the high gratification of hearing from the lips of the French C 9th, the 'Virginia' was handled in a masterly and seaman-like manner."

George Wright, Pilots. Wm. T. C. Clark, Pilots. H. Williams, Pilots.
