The Brooklyn was again thrown open for puble inspection yesterday afternoon, and a large number of peoplo availed themselves of the opportunity to visit the American warship. The Belgian Consul paid a visit to the vessel during the afternoon, and the flag of Belgium was hoisted at the fore, and the usual consular salute of seven guns fired as he left.
As H.M.s. Penguin was cha.nging her moorings she passed the American, flagship. The brass band on board the Brooklyn struck tip "G-od Save the King-," and the bugler on the Penguin sounded the "Attention," as the two vessels passed, followed by the "Carry on" as soon as the British warship had passed by.
