Mr Goschen has signified his intention of being among those who will give the gallant naval defenders of Ladysmith a hearty welcome when they arrive on the POWERFUL at Portsmouth. At the dinner to be given to the brigade by the people of Portsmouth, the mayor will be asked to present a silver watch to each member of the brigade, a gift from members of the Naval and Military Club, Piccadilly. The POWERFUL is not expected to reach Portsmouth before April 10 or 11.
