From this tidal basin there will be two locks and one dock accessible also at any state of the tide. The two locks will enter into a repairing basin of about 32 acres area, with a depth of water of 30ft. below high-water mark, spring tides, and in com munication with this basin will be four first-class docks of a similar extent and character to the mag nificent dock recently opened by the Minotaur, No. 11. Parallel with the repairing basin will be the riggers' basin of about 20 acres, and in continuation of the general plan a fitting out basin of about 14 acres. In immediate communication with the repair , ing basin and locks will be erected factory buildings for the construction and repairs of machinery and boilers on a gigantic scale, altogether eclipsing any buildings of a similar nature in any existingdockyard here or elsewhere. At the mouth of the basins de scribed there will be au open channel 500 ft. in breadth, which will afford wharfage space for ships of war and access for merchant vessels to their wharves on the foreshore of Portsea Island, and inside the line of the extension of the Government yard on the harbour mud lands. To the northward of the basins, docks, locks, and factory buildings will be the Grand Basin, of 60 acres, for holding ships of war of all classes and in various stages of advance for commission.

If carried out in its entirety, the naval establishment at Portsmouth will surpass in magnitude and useful ness of design every other at present in existence or in course of construction. We may then add to our boast of being the greatest, or rather one of the greatest, maritime Powers ' in Europe that we also possess the readiest means of refitting and repairing our fleets, so as to enable them to keep the sea in any pressing emergency. In this latter respect we are at present undoubtedly behind some other Powers. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. thousands of lights and the waters sparkling under their influence, presented. The guests included, besides M. de Chasseloup Laubat, the French Minister of Marine, M. Dupuy de Lolme, chief constructor of the French navy, and the principal French officer in command of the fleet at Spithead. Among the English guests were Sir M. Seymour, Admiral Sir S. Dacres, Sir G. Buller, commander in chief of the south-western district, Capt. Seccombe, Capt. Hornby, Capt. Herbert, and several other English naval officers in command of our fleet at this port. At 10 o'clock M. de Chas seloup Laubat took his departure and proceeded on board the Reine Hortense. His leaving was the sig nal for lighting up the ship, every one of whose port-holes was immediately illuminated ; blue lights being at the same time exhibited all round her gun wale and at her yard arms. Thus passed off the first of the entertainments which has been given to our allies in return for their recent magnificent hospitality, and if all the others which remain to be given are equally suc cessful, we shall have no reason to be ashamed of the mode in which our part in these international festivities has been displayed. The Lords of the Admiralty appear to be perfectly satisfied with the proceedings so far, and the expression of their satisfaction on any occasion is, some naval officers will tell you, not a thing to be easily secured. While the chief officers of the French fleet were being entertained in the Duke of Wellington those who remained behind at Spithead were the guests of the officers of the Black Prince, on board which magnificent vessel a splendid hospitality was grace fully dispensed. This morning—it is pleasant to have to tell it— there was not at 9 o'clock a single cloud to be seen on the whole broad surface of the sky. Blue above, blue below ; for everybody has taken to living here now on the water. Things, therefore, may be safely said to be getting on swimmingly at Portsmouth, and, indeed, there need not be the slightest appre hension that it will be otherwise till the French fleet leaves our shores on Saturday next, if the sun will only continue to shine out as brightly as he does now. After concluding their inspection ashore, and sub sequently partaking of luncheon afloat, the French Minister of Marine, Admirals, and Staff, with the Duke of Somerset and several of the Lords of the British Board of Admiralty, embarking on board the English yacht Enchantress, proceeded to Southamp ton Water to inspect the Royal Victoria Military Hos pital at Netley, the Enchantress flying the French Minister of Marine's flag and the English Admiralty standard side by side at the main, and the fleets manning yards as the yacht steamed through them. westward. The banquet to be given by the Admiralty at the Royal Naval College to-night is the grand feature in the programme for this evening. It will be given, as has been already stated, in a large tent like structure which has been erected in one of the quandrangles of the college, and which is 165 ft, long by 55ft. wide and 30ft. high. At this moment it is all disorder, but there is not the slightest doubt that everything about it will be completed just in the nick of time. As the Lords of the Admiralty and their guests step into the room, the last carpenter and decorator will, it is safe to conjecture, have just quitted it by another door. Such marvels are done in this way, where all but a few hours before seemed. a heap of confusion, that one's confidence in the result is never for a moment shaken, if the circum stances look ever so unfavourable. The plate which will be used at the banquet to-night is that which Mr. Hancock so generously furnished for the dinner given on board the Duke of Wellington, and with such accessories as he can supply a great step in the work of decoration can without much difficulty be made. When that moment in the proceedings of the evening arrives for the proposal of toasts, and that of the health of the Emperor of the French and her Majesty the Queen have been duly given and drunk, a royal salute will be fired from the ships; lying in Portsmouth harbour and at Spithead, the signal for which will be given by means of a rocket sent up from the Victory. Almost instantaneously a grand illumination of the two fleets will take place. The town of Portsmouth will also illuminate exten sively in honour of the occasion. Full as the town was yesterday, it appears to be almost twice as crowded to-day, sojourners from the pleasant land of France contributing largely to swell the numbers. The preparations for the civic festivities to-morrow are getting on most satisfactorily, and give fair pro mise of being as attractive as anything in the wholg programme of the entertainment. The forenoon was passed by the French officers and our Admiralty in visiting the public esta blishments on shore, M. Chasseloup Laubat, with the Admiral commanding and the chief officers of the French fleet, landing at the dockyard shortly before noon, accompanied by the Duke of Somerset and other members of the British Admiralty. The chief points of interest visited in the dockyard were the iron-cased ship Prince Alfred in No. 3 dock, the Scorpion and Wyveru turret-ships, the iron frigate Minotaur, the armour plate workshop, smithery, foundries, &c. In the Royal Alfred our visitors had an opportunity of criticising our method of converting a 90-gun wooden line-of-battle ship to a ship clothed with eight inches of iron amid ships, and carrying 300-pounders. They may not have agreed with all our notions in making this change, but otherwise could not but admit that if the ship could be sent to sea working effi ciently 12-ton guns on her broadside, she must prove to be a formidable war vessel. On board the Scorpion and Wyvern, Mr. Laird's famous would-be rovers, was exemplified the turret sys tem, by which these two ships each carry— or, rather, are enabled to carry, for the Wyvern has not yet got her guns—each four 12-ton guns, with six months' stores and provisions, and eight days' coal at full steaming power, with a draught of water of only 16 feet 6 inches. The turret principle has been so often described in the columns of The Sun in the reports on the trials of the Royal Sovereign, and has become really so familiar to the general public from the large public discussion which the system has gone through, that there remains no reason for describing it at any greater length here. In the armour-plate shed one of the last armour plates for the Royal Alfred was taken from the heating furnace and bent to the required shape for fixing on the ship's side, the hydraulic press, radial machines, and d planing machines being also in full work for the inspection of the Lords of the Admi ralty and 'then- guests. In the smithery the monster steam hammers and excellent internal arrangement of the whole building were duly admired. The iron frigate Minotaur was also visited, and while on board this magnificent frigate much interest was manifested in the investigation of Commander Scott's iron gun-carriage, designed by that officer to meet the difficulty now experienced in working 12-ton guns on a ship's broadside. A visit to the large iron and brass foundries, a cursory look at the factory and the miniature steam basin, with a pass ing inspection of the plan for the extension of the dockyard, concluded the visit. Among other public establishments visited—in this instance non-officially —by the officers of the French ship, were the ar moury and gunwharf. The Armoury of Portsmouth arsenal, though not comparable in its proportions with the noble Salle d'Armes of Cherbourg, nor yet peihaps quite equal to it in the interest attached to its contents, is nevertheless a place well worth a visit even from such keen-eyed critics as our French friends. Like many other public buildings in and around Portsmouth, a vast deal of material has been crowded into a very small space within the walls of the Armoury. At Cherbourg a very effective display is made throughout the length of the Salle d'Arnzes by only some 9,000 muskets in their arm-racks ; yet here, in this small Armoury of Portsmouth—a room not much exceeding one eighth the length of the one at Cherbourg—are standing in open racks no less than 20,000 Enfield rifles, from none of which a shot has ever been fired. As may be readily imagined but little space is left by these 20,000 arms for fairly exhibiting other de scriptions of arms and the curiosities usually found in such places. There are, however, in spaces be tween the arm-racks through the room, some very valuable suits of ancient armour, plain, fluted, em bossed, and chain, and also tilting spears of the different periods, with a goodly collection of weapons of fearful size and weight, with which men of old cracked each other's iron shells when clothing them selves in lieu of, as now-a-days, their castles an d ships in iron. Round the base of the walls of the room are ranged in chronological order every de scription of shot and shell made for rifled cannon up to the present time The walls and roof have been new ly and very tastefully decorated, and on the former may be seen the Chinese breach-loading six-pounders, the State flag of the celebrated Com missioner Yeh, the official dress of the mandarin who held command of the Peiho forts at the time of their capture, and in recesses in the salle and entrance hall are some interesting specimens of bronze cast ings as vases and incense -burners, the Chinese cha racters on which indicate the date of their produc tion at 1800 years prior to the Christian era. In the other parts of the arsenal are piles of guns, breech and muzzle loading, of Armstrong build, and the cannon casting ordnance, of none of which we have reason to be ashamed. Only with regard to the extent and general ar rangement of the dockyard there was nothing at all of interest to exhibit to our friends. On the contrary, accustomed as they arc to the magnificent naval establishments at Toulon, Brest, and Cher bourg, Portsmouth Dockyard must have appeared simply contemptible, its stores and buildings being, with one or two exceptions, confused masses of bricks and mortar, jumbled together without any design. In the plans, however, for the great exten sion of the yard, the works for which have at length really commenced, and concerning which many per tinent questions were asked, there was plenty of material of which, in comprehensivenessand allies.unity of design, we could dilate with just pride and gratifi cation, even in the presence of our keen-eyed The chief features of this first extension of Ports mouth Dockyard consist of a tidal basin of about 14 acres, accessible for ships of the largest class at any time of tide. From this basin there will by two locks and one dock s also accessible at ally rerio c i o f the --- No sooner were the preliminaries arranged for &l ie recap, -,-, tion of the French 4eaV at.Portsraentb;ttra issued by th e Ad m i ra l ty to Messrs. Dcfrj,Js <Order and Sons was, of .Floundsdit c h to prepare f or an illumination of unprece dented brilliancy. A telegram Was despatched to their establishment on Saturday last, with brief instructions fcr that purpose, and immediately they mustered a staff of 500 men, were orthwi all of wh th at om, under th e i r personal superintendence, f work hastening the execution of their contract. Last evening proved that short notice is no hindrance to a successful issue where an experienced firm is engaged. Upwards of 300,000 lamps in every device to which crystal can be turned, and displaying as many illu minations in the national colours of France, the popular rod, white, and blue, gave such an artificial glare to Ports mouth as no city or town in England has ever yet revealed: The effect was, moreover, greatly heightened by the inter spersion of innumerable flags, both French and English, by unmistakeable assurances of a cordiality in thousands of banners bearing our true Saxon expression of " Welcome,' Chinese lanterns, and all the auxiliaries which such occa sions call into service. The outlines of all the pablic build ings and mansions, together with most of the private houses, were delineated by as many gas lights as would serve to illuminate a large provincial town for the winter season. The streets, walks, and promenades likewise shared in the same liberality of a supply of gas, with count less jets and burners to display its glaring beauty, and which, with the reflection caused by tricoloured fire; floods of the marvellous lime light, all intensified in their effect by corresponding illuminations on board every ve sse l in the harbour, have left in Portsmouth such a memento for congratulation as will make the visit of the French fleet the most joyous event that the denizens of our maritime own have ever experienced. The Atlantic Telegraph CompFtny. The respective Boards of the Atlantio Telegraph Corn-. pany and the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, after the most careful investigation into and deliberation upon all the circumstances attending upon the recent expedition, and upon the accident which has postponed the success of the undertaking for the pre sent season, have come to the unanimous resolution to prosecute the undertaking with increased rigour in tke summer of next year, if supported to a very moderate extent by the existing shareholders and the public. The Atlantic Telegraph Company has accord ingly entered into a contract with the Telegraph Con struction Company, whereby the latter company will again send out the Great Eastern during the summer of 1866, having on board sufficient cable both for the comple tion of the existing cable, and for the establishment of a second cable of the same perfect construction between Ire land and Newfoundland. The first operation will be to lay this latter cable. Having done which, the Great Eastern will return to the end of the broken cable, and commence operations for recovery. As to the success of these operations Capt. Anderson, Mr. Canning, and all the leaders of the late expedition have the most hopeful confidence, and all concerned now believe in the establishment of two working cables during 1866. To effect this desirable consummation, the shareholders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company are required to subscribe a sum of £250,000. The liberality and effective financial _ arrangements of th e T e l egraph Construction Compannwanv: are deeply i n t eres t e d i n the success of the unde rtaki ng, effect this advantageous arrangement, a lth oug h the total enabled the di rec t ors of the Atlantic Compan cost y to ra o, Con struction Company new cable, of it s su b mers i on, and r p, the is of the repairs profit upon the new cable, if succ ess f u l , b u t no t otherwise, t o o f the existing cable will b e £500,000.

Objections were lodged against both first and second, but afterwards withdrawn. DEVON AND EXETER MEETING —WEDNESDAY. The weather was brilliant, and, combined with the at traction of " the Cup Day," a much larger company assem bled on the heath than on Tuesday. The atmosphere was so clear that the most distant objects in the beautiful land scape were clear and distinct. Tho topic of conversation was the projected removal of the meeting next year to a more convenient spot in the vicinity of the Axminster Railway Station and within three miles of Exeter. The Mamhead Stakes brought out four runners, and produced a splendid race between Beelzebub and Langham, the lat ter winning by the shortest of heads, after an exciting finish, in which Beelzebub answered gamely to Edwards's resolute call, but could never quite get up. A match for 200 move between the Roarer and Countess 8010 created some excitement. The affair was brought about through some invidious remarks being made as to Cannon's ability in "finishing" in a selling race on Tuesday between the same animals, but the weights being at a higher ratio, and the Roarer meeting the Countess on 41b bet ter terms, made all the running, and won in a canter. The remainder of the running is sufficiently described be low. The Rougemont Stakes of 5 sovs each ; 2 ft, with 25 _ _ _ added ; winners extra. Half a mile. 12 subs.

After throe failures the quartette got off on even terms, Magician being the first to show in advance, followed by Kingsley and Langham, the favourite lying off.

Just as the setting sun last evening was lighting up with its expiring rays the roadstead at Spithead the principal officers of the French fleet were being rowed to the Duke of Wellington, which is lying inside Portsmouth Harbour. " The old Duke," as some of the boatmen familiarly call her, although little more than a dozen years have passed since she was built, was once the chief pride of our navy, and must think it hard that so much fuss should now be made about vessels which can lay no claim to her stateliness or beauty. She was laid down originally as a sailing three decker, to carry 131 guns, but her form of hull was subsequently altered under the superintendence of Sir B. Walker, at the time filling the office of Con troller of the Navy. When the war broke out with Russia she carried in the Baltic the flag of the late Sir C. Napier, Sir M. Seymour, the present com mander-in-chief at Portsmouth, being also on board as captain of the fleet. The Duke of Wellington was in those days commanded by Capt. Preedy, who now commands the Hector, and everybody knows how much was expected of her in that famous w i t li: f ion. She returned to England, however, had any opportunity of going into action and proving how formidable were her powers of destruction. At present she has a mixed arma ment of Armstrong and smoothbore guns for the purposes of drill, and is used simply as a seaman's training-ship for the navy, under the command of Capt. Seccombe. It may be that there is lying to day at Spithead many an ironclad with which she could not successfully cope, but there is not in the united squadron a ship which presents an object so beautiful and commanding to the unprofessional eye. The banquet which was last night given on board her was splendid in the highest degree. No pains had been spared to turn her spacious middle deck into a brilliant saloon. This saloon, which was enclosed off the deck, was 250 feet long by 25 feet in width, and was decorated on all sides by many-coloured flags, the ensigns of many na tions, so blended as to produce a beautiful effect without at the same time sacrificing that harmony of tone so essential to all tasteful decoration. At each end of the room was a large mirror, which seemed to be set in flowers. Flowering plants, too, formed embankments of varied hues all along the sides of the saloon, or just revealed through interstices in the hangings their beautiful bloom ; the freshest and most verdant evergreens which grow in southern England showed off to per fection the exquisite tints of the rare exotics em bowered amid their leaves. Capt. Seccombe and the officers under him must have been proud indeed when they came to survey the results produced under their direction ; but it was in the decoration of the dinner table itself that the most lavish care was ex pended. Abundant means were, however, at hand to render the task comparatively easy. Mr. Hancock, of Bruton-street, with a patriotic liberality which does him infinite credit, placed at the disposal of the Admiralty for the occasion the superb silver gilt service of plate which at a cost of £24,000 he some years ago manufactured for the present Prince Demidoff. In the palatial residence of the Prince at Florence this service has, we believe, more than once formed the chief feature at the entertainments which he gave on a scale of magnificent hospitality, and it last night decorated for the first time a banquet in this country. Prince Demidoff is well known as a lover of rare and costly articles—a taste which has perhaps tended to impair a splended fortune, but, however that may be, the gorgeous service which once glittered on his table, and every one of the 100 pieces of which bears his arms, is now in Mr. Han cock's possession. The service is Roman in design, and nothing can well be more exquisite than the finished beauty of the scro lls and figures in basrehef with which it is so richly ornam ented. The flower vases are especially handsome and massive, and they were yesterday the fitting receptacles of the choicest and rarest exotics. A flood of light from numerous wax candles and chandeliers lit up this gorgeously appointed table, and revealed all the delicate tracery which cunning hands have woven round the minutest articles of which this all but unrival led service is composed. The Duke of Somerset, accompanied by the other Lords of the Admiralty, and by Lord Clarence Paget, went on board the Duke of Wellington shortly after 7 o'clock, to be in readiness to receive his distinguished guests. When the arrival of M. de Chasseloup Laubat, the French Minister of Marine, was announced, the Duke of Somerset advanced to the entrance port of the middle deck to meet him, and conducted him to the reception room, which adjoined the banquet ting saloon. When the whole of the guests had assembled, dinner was announced, and the arrange ment at table was such that each English guest had one of the French officers on his right hand. The dinner was supplied by Mr. Willis, of King-street, St. James's, and was exceedingly sumptuous. No toasts were given at the banquet, and after it was over the guests wandered about the ship, admiring the beautiful scene which the harbour, with its , RUPTURES.—BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TUNBRIDGE RACES-WEDNESDAY. The weather on Wednesday was again beautifully fine, and the attendance more numerous even than on the pre vious day. The fields were numerically strong and the sport excellent. The promoters, Messrs. Chadwick and Bennett, had done all that lay in their power to bring the meeting to a successful issue, and those gentlemen, with Mr. Verrall, have ample grounds to congratulate them selves upon the increasing importance of the gathering. Details of the running will be found below : The Nursery Plate (Handicap) of 50 sovs, for two-year olds ; winners extra. Three-quarters of a mile. Mr. C. R. Floyd's Domino, Bst 81b (Deacon) 1 Mr. B.

After some delay a start was effected, Hadji's Daughter being left at the post. The Maid cut out the running, followed by Domino and Bayleaf, the others well up until reaching the turn for home, when Domino took the lead, and the Lady Kingston filly passed Bayleaf and took third place ; Domino, however, maintained his lead to the end, and won cleverly by a length ; two lengths separating the second and third. The Lady King ston f was fourth ; Bayleaf fifth ; and Fomentation last. A Selling Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added; weight for age, with selling allowances. Half a mile. Mr. J.

The three placed got off in front, bu 'tor going some distance had the race to themselves. When they reached the straight Nightingall began riding his horse, and a find race home with Bunch resulted in favour of Castle Hill by half a length; four lengths between second and third; Mysterious Lady was fourth; and Bounding Brick, fifth. Fomentation ran out among the people at the commencement of the straight. The winner was bought by Mr. Elphick for 50 guineas. ~.
