PORTSMOUTH, Tuesday.—The long-looked-for event of releasing this great ship from the stocks, and introduc ing her to ber destined element, came off this day under the most unfavourable auspices. Heavy rain set in at midnight on Monday, and continued without inter mission all this morning, in the early part of which it was so discouraging that at nine o'clock her Majesty sent a special messenger to the Port-Admiral to kno ee if the ship would be launched under such circumstances. But, notwithstanding the rain, an enormous gathering of spectators assembled from far and near to witness the launch. Flags and ensigns were hoisted on all the Government-office, and on various other establish ments within and without the port ; every de scription of craft seemed to be engaged for plea sure-seekers afloat, and every kind of locomotive ashore was taken up for the general service. At an early hour (some as early as seven o'clock) pedestrians were admitted into the dockyard, and from that time until the event of the day came off the multi tude kept streaming towards the centre of attraction. The booths for the Commander-in-Chief and friends, the Admiral Superintendent, members of Parliament, the principal officers of the dockyard, the Mayor and -Corpo ration, the junior staff of the establishment, on the one side of the slip ; and for the Lords of the Admiralty and friends, the Lieutenant-Governor of the garri-on and friends, the Governor of the Royal Naval College and friends, the Commandant of the Royal Marines and friends, the Captaid Superintendent of Haslar and fields, the officers of the navy and army generally, and officers of the civil departments, on the other, were early occu pied by well-dressed company, the varied uniforms of the services assisting the gay appearance of the ladies to lend additional life and interest to the scene. The Mayor and corporation went in their robes of office. There were not fewer than 50,000 spectators, ashore and afloat, all bent upon the one object. The harbour presented a peculiarly interesting and gay picture. The three decker St. Vincent and the two-decker Illustrious were moored off the mouth of the slip, well over to the oppo site shore, gaily dressed in flags, as were the new royal yacht, the Osborne, Fire Queen, Fanny, Europa trans port, wid numerous other Government and private Nes sels, besides the excursion packets, all crowded with company, the bands of the line-of-battle-ships playing on their poops. At length the booming of the salute from the three-deckers St. George and Neptune, at Spithead, announced the approach of the Queen, and presently after wards, about a quarter to 12, the salutes from the h ar bour, flag, and training ships announced the roy al pro gress to the slip. The Court, conei.ting of the Queen, the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princes Royal, accompanied by the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, and attended by the Viscountess Canning, the Hon, Mary Seymour, the Hon. Miss Hildyard, Major- Gen. Bouverie, Col. Seymour, Col. Biddulph. Mr. Gibbs, &c., landed at the elegantly equipped steps of the pavilion prepared for her Majesty, in the vestibule of which she • was received by the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Thomas C Jchrane, K.C.8., Rear-Admiral Superintendent Mar tin, Major-General Sir Frederick Smith, R.E., and Major• General Breton, the Lieutenant-Governor. The guard of honour was ranged on the jetty adjacent, and consisted of the flank companies of the 80th Foot, commanded by Major Christie, Captain Hardinge, Lieutenants Nunn and Dudgeon, and Ensign :Maxwell bearing the colours. Her Majesty, on ascending to her position, was presented with a statement of the dimen sions of the ship, beautifully written on large em bossed card., furnished by Mr. Wood, Clerk of the Works.

Having taken a brief survey of the proportions of the ship from the balcony of the pavilion, her Majesty sigui flee. her readiness to proceed with the ceremony of nam ing her, and for this purpose descended to the fl ior of the ship, leaning on the arm of the Prince, and attended by Sir T. Cochrane, Rear-Admiral Martin, Rear.A. , lrniral Eden, and Captain Milne (Lords of the Admiralty), Ma jor-General Breton, Captain Hutton, R.N., Captain the Hon. J. Denman, the R iyal suite, &c , anil proceeded, by a reserved walk under the bilge on the port side to the christening booth on the stem, the company along the line standing and greeting her Majesty most enthusi astically. On ascending the platform at the stein Mr. Abethell, the Master-Shipwright of Portsmouth Dock yard, was presented to her Majesty, and gave into her hands the garlanded bottle of wine which hung suspended, and which, precisely at twelve o'clock, her Majesty dashed against the cutwater, pronouncing simultaneously " Success to thn Marlborough." Shouts arose on all sides, the bands of the Guard -f Honour . and of the Dockyard Brigade played the National An t been and "Rule, Britannia," and the Court returned to t he royal pavilion to see the ship emerge from the shed. A Ir.

"In meeting the sharehellers of the 6t. George Assurance Company, at the close of the first actual business year of its existence, the directors had high satisfaction in being able to congratulate both the proprietors and the assured upon t he re •olts accomplished, and the position attained by the company, which were such as to leave no doubt of its establishment on a sound and secure basis, and of its pros perity and development for the future. " Originated at a period of unusual depression and dila erky, when the breaking out of the present war, and the pro pest of increased taxation, had added greatly to the obstacles which the competition amongst assurance coin. pauses offs red to the establishment of a new office, the St. George Assurance Company had achieved an amount of success (at a moderate outlay) inferior to none of its con temporaries, and greatly surpassing that obtained during the first year by most of the offices established within the last ten years. " From the commencement of business on the 10th of May, 1854, to the present time, 548 proposals for assuring sums amounting to 150,2€01. had been received by the di rectors. Some of these (being dependent on Mans, which • it was not thought advisable to grant) had not.been carried - out, whilst others hid been declined or abandOned on irs lions grounds • but it was highly satisfactory to state th a t 331 policies had been actually completed and issued, as-- suring sums amounting to 67,5351., and producing an an nual income of 2,09.0145. 41. ; whilst assurances to the amount of 5,9001., and producing premiums to the amount of 1851. Cs. 91. per annum, were in course of completion, thus making up the present annual income of the company from premiums to the sum of 2,881/. is. ld. " Nearly the whole of the policies issued were on the I psrtieioating scale, and on young lives; and the directors believed (from the caution they had exercised in carrying out the recommendations of their medical officers) that near'y the whole of the assured might be considered as among the class of `select lives,' or such as would secure to the company a more than average immunity from losses , by death. "The directors desired especially to call attention to the fact that bit company had heel entirely unfettered by the burden of large preliminary expenses, in the shape of pay ments, by shares or otherwise, to promoters, solicit or s, ad. -- Not ono single fre e sh are had been issued • nor had any abater been int' odiLied into the mark e t : and only such an amount of capital had been called up as was sufficient to meet the expenses of establishing and conducting the cur rent business of the company. "The attention of the board had been anxiously directed to the organisation of the staff of really respectable and working agents, whose exertions, they trusted, would be successful in extending the knowledge of the company both at h, me and abroad; and they had reason to hope that the n. xt and future years would sho;v the beneficial re sult= of their exertions in that respect 4. In conclusion, the directors earnestly invited the co operation of the proprietors and the assurel, both inili vidu dly and collectively, in their endeavours to extend the business, and promote generally the objects of the com pany."

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, remarked that it was unlike the first report of any similar company, inasmuch as it was very short., and very much to the point ; and he hoped that it was also satis factory. The directors had in that document laid before the shareholders a brief account of the operations of the company for the past year, and it was, he conceived, un necessary for him to enter into a more lengthened detail of them. In fact, his speech should be like the report itself—brief. In taking a review of their past proceed. ings he found that there existed no great necessity for eulogium to heighten their value and importance. In deed, he knew of no office the preliminary and working expenses of which bad been so lox, for very, little of their money had been so appropriated. Of the 4,7501. subscribed they had still on hand the sum of 3,9911. as available capital. As mentioned in the report, and confirmed by the figures in the statement of their ac counts, which were after all the best possible test of the management of the office, frae shares had not been given to anybody, nor had they been thrown on the market. Their capital bad not as yet been all called up, and he hoped that they had now a buti nets large enough to make a call on the shareholders un necasary. Referring to the expenses, he found that they had been as small as it was possible for them to expect them to be. They had paid 2541. for advertise ments, and 6371. for travelling expenses in the establish ment of agencies throughout the country. These items constituted the principal preliminary expenses to which they had been put, and which were not by any means so heavy as Those under which other new offices groaned. They had at present, it was true, some agents of whom they would be glad to get rid, but other offices were similarly situated. The different assurance offices would do well if they met together and compared notes as re gerded their agents, as he could not but think that the result of their conference would be the caving of a large sum of money fur e tcb. As retarded their working ex penses, they too were small, and were kept down to the lowest possible amount convenient with efficient management. The figures of the balance-sheet showed that the directors were in every way careful of the money of the shareholders, and that was a course of economy which it was their determination to pur sue. It was true that the rent of their premises was nominally high, being 5301. p er annum ; b u t at present they were in reality only under 1201. yearly rent. The next point to which he wished to refer was the character of the lives they bad assured, and that they owed a deep debt to their medical men for the care and skill which they exeroised in selecting as good lives as they pos sibly could. There was another feature worthy of con sideration with respect to the parties they had assured, and that was that they were all men likely to keep up their policies. He might remark that a sum of 4501. ' had been set apart as the remuneration of the directors, hut they bad not used half of it, having only drawn 2121. Haying expressed his readiness to answer all questions relating to the affairs of the company, the noble lord concluded his address by moving the adop tion...of the report.

DETERMINED Suictnr.---The family of Dr. Murphy, g in Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, have been thrown into a state of much painful excitement, through the death of the doctor's youngest son, Mr. William Murphy, under most distressing circumstances. The unfortunate deceased had absented himself from home for a lengthened period, and nothing was heard respecting his whereabouts until within a few days since, when his brother hearing that he was lodging at a public house situated at Thames Haven Dock, in Es sex, went there in search of him. He found the mis guided youth at the public house in question, and up braided him for his conduct, and entreated him to return to his father's home without delay. The youth left tfie house, and proceeding a few yards from the door, placed a loaded pis el to his heart and shot himself dead on the , spot. The anguish of the deceased's parents, upon bearing of the lamentable catastrophe, is not to be de scribed.

THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF POISONING NEAR DAR LINGTON.—The inquest on the body of Mrs. Wooler, the wife of Mr. Joseph Snaith Wooler, a gentleman of inde pendent mean, residing at Great Burdon, h av i n g re sulted in an "open verdict," the brother of the deceased lady, Mr. W. A. Br cknell, of Gate ahead, obtained a warrant from Colonel Coiling, one of the county magis trates, and Mr. Wooler, who was from home, was ap prehended at Durham at a late hour on Friday night by Superintendent Robson, of the Durham county consta bulary force. The prisoner was conveyed to Darlington, and was brought before the magistrates on Monday, when Mr. Davison, barrister -at-law, appeared as counsel for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. H. J. Marshall, of Durham. Mr. Davism stated he would lay befo , e . the bench so much evidence only on that oceas on as would ju assistant to a re mand, when furt her evidence would be a dduced. The witnesses exam ined andned w ere HMerri.zT,,i, U H. t Jackson, Mr. Jack sur g eon ; Dr.itn lla s s e i 4 es ovo a ,> m d son.

Dr. Haslewood enzen both stated that the poison must have been administered by a person who was acquainted with the nature and properties of arsenic, otherwise it would not have been given in such a slow and t cau ious mode. A quantity of bottles, containing various poisons (Fow ler's • solution of arsenic among the rest), were seen on the premises by the medical men, and a basket of bottles was produced before the magistrates, but the solution of arsenic was not among them, neither was it produced at the coroner's inquest, and Mr. Wooler on that occasion denied that he had ever had such an article. The ex amination of the medical witnesses occupied the bench about five hours, at the close of which the prisoner was remanded until Monday next. Mr. Marshall applied to the Bench for an order for the exhumation of the body of Mrs. Wooler, in order that the portion of the liver and intestines remaining may be sent for analysis to some eminent analytical chemist. He said he had applied to the Secretary of State, who replied that he bad no power. He had also applied to the rector of the parish. Mr. Davison said he could not oppose the application, and it was understood that, so f ar as the Bench ha d tb power, they would make the. order.

Sovereigns of other times had their great deeds. They built and named pyramids which still challenge the wonder and curiosity of man , .kind. They founded cathedrals with aisles like forest avenues, and spires that touch the skies ; they built churehes upon churches, and churches side by side, one still lerger tbau another, and so large at last that they will never be finished, and to this degenerate age only record the magnificent ideas of our forefathers. "There were ghats in those days." But who that was present at the Naval Review of 1853 will deny that there are giants in these days also ? We are waging a war of Titans. Just now, for the instant, indeed, peace seems to be gaining upon war, fur th e re is a p a s s en ger s hip building in.the Isle of Logs that would take the Marl ' borough on deck, and'o n ly s i c k two or three f eet w i th its bu - . der . . But wait a little. In a few years we shall have a man-of-war—then several men-of-war—then a whole fleet—on the scale of Mr. Scott Russell's mem-- meth ship. It is proper to the dignity of the British nation that we should do so ; and, as we are geographi tally prevented from extending our frontier on lend, it is but natural we should add as much as we can of the sea, at least of that portion of the sea which is repre sented fir the time by the deck of a man-of-war. But, amid all these honourable aspirations for national grandeue, and this swollen, and still spelling magnifi cence, a certain thought will obtrude uninvited. So long as we were at peace, and so long as these huge castles really frowned upon the ocean to some pnrpose and kept the world in awe, there was unreason why we should not go on building ships bigger and bigger continu ally, and particularly when the usual destinatt_n of the ship weiiese muddy berth high 'up Portsmouth harbour, or some other asylum ftr idle and eventually invalid met -of-war. We should not be far off the mark if we were to say that about a hundred ships of-the-line have never been used at all, but have rottedin ordinary, from the day of tht;ir launch to that which saw them sold for " old stores," and broken up by some ship-knacker. But, as it is better that a man-of-war, as well as any other weapon, should not be used, we will waste no vain regrets on the fact that so many successive monarchs of the deep, after lives of inglorious ease, have been gathered to . the sepulchre of their fathers. But is change has come over the scene, and we are now in a state which may be said to have been wholly unanticipated by the builders of our fleets—a state of war. What is more, we are at war with a naval. Power, with a Power which arrogates to itself the dominion of two great inland seas and threatens a third—the third being that sea, only less than ocean, to the possession of which the ancients justly assigned the dominion of the world. Russia is pushing her fleets froM north and south towards the Gates of Hercules, and embraces the Old World. This same Russia has insulted us in the very tenderest•point ; she has obtained our exclusion from the Euxine, she has destroyed, under our eyes, as it, were,. the fleet of our ally ; she•has proclaimed that wooden walls are no match for granite ; she has defied not only us, not only our de crepit and semi-barbarous ally, but our great neighbour, more than our equal in military resources, and only not our equal , in naval power. Here, then, is the very proof 'and occasion of our vast naval armoury. Here is the destined enemy for whom our floating castles were reared. Here is the peril against which our pro vident forefathers warned us and prepared us in time. Open the gates of the ocean, out with these detnigods, let them go forth in solemn pro cession and do their stern errand. They have gone forth ; they have stalked and are still stalking over the surface of the ocean. They cover seas, they spread from shore to shore, they create cities on the waves ; they give to. Watery wastes " a local habitation and a name." The Black Sea and the Baltic are full of our fleets, and, not only ours, but the French as well, besides myriads of vulgar craft ministering to their wants. They have done this now for two years. Well, what have they done ? They have retained their barren empire over the ocean. The ocean was theirs, and it mast be said they have nut yet been deprived of it. Bedouins of the trackless deep, their reign is undisputed. They march to and fro ; like the rude champion of the Philistine host, they menace and provoke. Were all the earth sea, it is manifest we are its lords. But there is the very diffi culty. The earth is not all sea. There is land, with its natural defences, its shore-, its shoals, its shallows, its creeks,.and all that fringe of neither sea nor land. There our dominion ends; The Titans are baffled, not by Jove's thunder, not by incumbent lEtna, but by treacherous mud and shifting sands. Does not common sense—the common sense that go verns the world,—comtnon sense that makes the con queror,—common sense that gives life to men and nations,—does not that sacred gift itself tell us that now is the time to stop building these long-cherished extrava gances ? Granting that they have their use, and that it is still necessary to assert the dougeion of the:ocean, have we not enough of them, and more than enongh of them, for the purpose ? Have we not four, or even ten times enough, to dispose of the Russian fleet, if it should ever show itself ? Of course, if we could do everything, we might as well do everything. But we eatingtdo everything. In sober truth, we want craft for the "fringe,"—that which is neither sea nor land. We want. a whole fleet of gun-boats, and other apparatus cl:rectly suited to the work to be done. Rich as we fancy ourselves, we want " small change" in our fleet. We cannot do both together; we may, perhaps; have the money ; we may, perhaps, have the material, but we have not the men. The naval strength of the country is absorbed, shipwrecked, in these enormous vessels, which only ride amid seas, and meet no foe but the elements. Such a ship 'as that which refused to be latinclied yester day requires a craw equal to all the adult psopulatiou of a considerable town, and costs the maintenance of a town: Imprison a thousand or twelve hundred men in a floating castle, and at the end of the yea! they will not have done anything in this war worth their salt. Set them free, and distribute them in a flotilla of gun boat, and they may do something. wily, on Sir Charles Napier's authority, it takes a couple of seasons to teach a fleet the very first elements of naval warfare, such ss the use of signals. If it's the Atlantic that is in question, well and good ; let us have fleets to cover it, and signal across from Gibraltar to the Gulf ef Mexico. Let us have ships that the Atlantic itself may be proud to bear. But it is not the Atlantic, it is not the Medi terranean, it is hardly even the Baltic or the Black Sea that is the arena of this struggle. The quarrel is to be fought out in havens, and creeks, and narrow winding channels, in rock-strewn .pools and tideless shallows. Stop every big ship ; set free every ship carpenter, every smith, every forge, every furnace in the Queen's dockyards, or in any workshop now employed by her. Transfer them at once to that smaller craft without which it is quite evident we cannot undertake offen sive carry o operations—thatnthe war. v is ‘ to e s ay, without which we can not fear it is too late to expect anything this year. Next year let us meet Russia on her own amphibious domain. We cannot doubt the final issue of the struggle ; only let us not be our own worst enemies, by wasting our strength and diverting all our resources in unprofitable demonstrations. r eed immediately, and at his own expense, to Malta, to join the reserve battalion stationed there. The following officers belonging to the 57th are under ! orders to proceed to Malta, viz.—Capt. Woodall, Lieut. Russell, Ensigns Mills, Hasted, Powell, and Thompson. The Holyrood, steam-transport, sailed yesterday from Woolwich, with warlike implements of ev'-ry description for the Black Sea. The hired transport Hesper, which sailed on the 27th ult. for the Crimea, caught fire off Ramsgate, and was brought back to Woolwich dockyard on Monday even ing for repairs. A number of men were kept working through the night in laying down iron plates and other necessary repairs, so that she will be in readiness to pro- ceed again on her voyage this evening. The accident was occasioned through overheat from the boilers, but the pumps being speedily set to work the lire was soon got under without any serious damage. The Dee has sailed also for Plymouth with stores, &c., from Wool wich dockyard. Naval and Military Intelligence. Rear-Admiral Sir William Carroll, K.C.8., has just been appointed to succeed the late Admiral Parry in the Lieutenant-Governorship of Greenwich Hospital. The appointment is worth 8001. a year, with a suite of apart alerts, the gallant officer being, in addition, entitled to retain his half-pay. The General Screw Company's steam-ship Jason, transport No. 84, a ill receive on board at Southampton R ,yal Horse Artillery for conveyance to the Crimea this day. The Jason is to accommodate 223 horses, 13 offi cers, 5 servants, and 280 men, besides the usual comple went of ordnance, &c. Should the whole of the troops arrive during the day the vessel will sail early to-mor row. Every preparation is made to prevent the slightest delay, and all depends upon the rapidity with which the men and horses arrive at Southampton. A small paddlt-wheel steam-ship, named the Wave Queen, put into Southampton docks yesterday. She is of great length and unusually narrow, and has been pur chased by Government of Ales,rs. Scott Russell and Co., shipbuilders, for the speedy conveyance of despatches in either the Baltic or Black Sea. On Monday the service companies of the 56th (West Essex) Rtigiment (the Pompadours) left Dublin by the Kingstown Railway for embarkation in the Iniperatriz. screw steam transport, in which they are to be conveyed to the seat of war. Among the officers, 33 in number, who accompanied the regiment were the following, several having only been just appointed :—Colonels S. Oakeley and S. S. Cox ; Majors R. W. Lacy and J. J. Bull ; Captains R. Anderson, W. G. Margesson, F. M. Ramsay, 11. W. Austin, M. R. Eden, W. C. Coghlan, J. Manley, and W. A. Godley ; Lieutenants E. W. Phillips, I'. A. Robertson, R. T. Thompson, and H. F. Curwen ; Ensigns G. Sims, W. Turner, Taylor, and Wright ; Paymaster S. Lawson ; Adjutant H. Williatns ; Quartermaster M`Gratir ; Surgeon J. H. K. Innes ; Assistant-Surgeons W. Deeble and F. W. Knox. The Imperatriz is a fine screw steam-ship, barque rigged, of 1,800 tons, commanded by Capt. H. Knox. She was built for the Brazilian trade, and carries six 18 pounder carronades, in addition to the small arms provided by Government for her crew. In her Majesty's ship Hima laya, Capt. Priest commander, which had already on board 205 horses and 247 men belonging to the 12th Lancers, Ist and 2d Dragoon Guards, 10th Hus sars , an d 50th Foot, were embarked the following :-15 men and 10 horses for the Scots Greys, 20 men and 40 horses for the 4th Dragoon Guards, and about 20 men and 100 horses belonging to almost every cavalry regiment at present in the Crimea. These detachments were com manded by Cornets Wale and Richardson ; and the Himalaya likewise took on board 66 men of the 13th Regiment, under the charge of Capt. Kerr and E ns i gn Gillett. The embarkation was superintended by Gene ral Cochrane, commanding the district ; Lieut.-Colonel Mylius ; Colonel Doyle, Assistant Quartermaster-Gene ral ; Lieut.-Tully, R.N., and Major Fairtlough, 63d Regiment. Lieut. Robinson, of the 17th Regiment, who missed his passage in the transport Royal Charlie, on her depar ture some time since from Queenstown with t roops on board, and who hired one of the river steamers to over take the transport, without, however, effecting his ob ject, has received orders from the Horse Guards to pro- MILITIA. The Cheshire Militia are about to be presented with a new stand of coloors, the presentation to be made by the Marchioness of Westminster. On Thursday last colours were presented to the Clare Regiment of Militia, commanded by Colonel Vandeleur. The ceremony was commenced by the Rev. - Mr. Harris, the chaplain of the regiment, who read the 46th Psalm, after which the rev, gentleman delivered an address. At its conclusion. Lady Grace Vandeleur presented the Colours with an appropriate speech. PRIZE MONEY. • Department - Of The Accountant-General of the Navy, Admiralty, Somerset-House, July 30.

The telegraphed accounts from Trieste in anticipation of the overland mail state that there had been no change there, prices remaining the same as at last advices, with considerable business doing. From China the advices are, that nothing was doing in manufactures, while a larger quantity of tea was coming forward, but less silk. These advices appeared to pro duce no effect on business here. Sellers say that they do not recollect a much duller market, but prices were mostly firm for cloth. Some few sales which were pressed were at lower prices. The same absence of demand was reported in the yarn-market, and the business done was inconsiderable. Prices, however, were moderately steady. The report of Messrs. John Slagg and Co. of the cloth-market says : "The demand for goods has been exceedingly inani mate throughout the past week, and the business done has been quite insignificant in amount. To-day there is even less disposition on the part of buyers to operate, but, for the reasons given in our last report, there is no anxiety to sell, and consequently no change in prices. Messrs. John Pender and Co. report : busi "We have had a ve r y qu i e t ma rket to-day ;_l o it e t s le, ness doing, but prices much the same L a E s E l o a s st , T uly ° 3 7 .

By this table it will be seen that we are now building, one-deckers of 500 tons more harden than the three deckers of the last century ; and. instead of steamers of no armament whatever, and of but about 300 tons bur den, and 80 hOrse-power (a wonder for the age in which they first paddled the water), we now construct vessels to carry 130 guns, of 4,000 tons burden, and 800-horse power.; and even this latter monster is but a pigmy con trasted with the mammoth mercantile hull at Millwall, whose tonnage is published as 22,000 ! Her Majesty remained some moments contemplating the Marlborough in her unexpected "fix," but, finding there appeared no prospect of her moving further, she left the scene, accompanied by the Court, in four of the iCoyal carriages, and escorted by Sir Thomas Cochrane, for the Admiralty-ho use , to a dejeuner, and the multi tude of spectator s s oon followed. A guard of the 80th Regiment and 200 of the Royal Dockyard Brigade, un der Lieutenant and Adjutant Long, formed an avenue for the passage of the Royal cortege, which, on arriving at the Admiralty-house, was received by a guard of honour of Royal Marines drawn un in front of the man sion, commanded by Lieutenant-Calonel Hunt, Captain Boyle, First-Lieutenant Wharton. Second-Lieutenant St. John, and Lieutenant and Adjutant Holland ; the scholars of the Seamen and Marines Orphan Schools were also drawn up next the house, and an avenue was formed thence to the dockyard gates by seamen from her Majesty's ship Illustrious, and a party of the South Linc.ilnshire Militia. The following comprised the guests of Lady ant Sir Thomas Cochrane:—The Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, the Viscountes s Canning, the Hon. Mary Seymour, the Hon. Miss Hild yard, Major-General Rouverie ' Colonel Biddulph, Col.

Rear-Admiral the Hon. H. D. and Miss Byng, the Earl and Countess of Mayo, Captain Mane, R.N. The Admiral's band, stationed in the garden, played during the dejeuner.

On leaving the Admiralty-house at 2 o'clock her Ma jesty ano the Prince Consort, the Royal Family, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and the suite pro. needed to the Military Hospital at Portsea. Sir Thomas Cochrane, Sir Frederick and Lady Smith, Major-Gene ral Breton, &c., accompanied them. The p r ogr ess th roug h the town f Portsea was a very quiet one, the route taken being through the most unfrequented streets. On ar riving at the hospital her Majesty was received by the medical staff, comprising Dr. Odell, Dr. Burgess, Dr. Leech, Dr. Lawson, Mr. Edwards, and Mr. Sharpe, and escorted by the Lieut.-Governor of the garrision, and Sir F. Smith over the establishment. Her Majesty was first greeted on her arrival by about 300 convalescents, or dered up from the various barracks and temporary sick quarter-=, and who were inspected minutely by the Qeeen. tier Majesty went through the wet parade regardless of personal comfort. She then entered the hospital, and in spected those of the inmates who were well enough to be paraded in the verandahs, asking almost every man some question, and reading the card supplied to each, stating his name, grade, the nature of his wound, on what oc casion it was received, and the number of the regiment. Many of the cards so perused by the Queen in her round through the building were handed by her Ma jesty to the Prince, to take away with them. Hav ing inspected . those in the verandahs, her Majesty proceeded to the wards, and went to the bedside of each helpless patient, questioning him in a most kind and feeling manner, which elicted from one gallant fel low the spontaneous expressions of " God bless her" as she passed to the next bed. Among the serious cases in this hospital her Majesty took special notice of seve ral sergeants suffering from Severe wounds received be fore Sebastopol. Her Majesty inquired with marked feeling respecting the death of Lieut.-Colonel Lowtb, of the 38th, which we mentioned in the report of the ar rival of the Hansa on Monday. Her Majesty also made inquiries into the ventilation of the building and the general treatment and comfort of the sick and wounded. - The Prince Consort examined, in addition, the various out-buildings and the improvements in .progress under the superintendence of the Royal Engineer Depart nt. On concluding her humsne visit, which occu pied an hour and a-half, the Queen expressed her satisfaction with the state of the hospital and the progress of the inmates, and returned by the same route as on her arrival to the dock yard, off the new stairs of which the Fairy was awaiting her embarkation. Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman received her Majesty in the Royal barge, and, having again embarked the Court, the Fairy steamed up to the shed where the Marlborough lay half launched, and took another survey of her unfortunate and critical position, remaining near the spot half an hour watching the efforts made by the dockyard staff at the capstans on board the ship and by the steam-tugs to release her from her perilous position: The cause of the catastrophe is supposed to be is the piles on which the ways are laid out into the harbour having given way. Her Majesty returned to Osborne by 5 o'clock. A. telegraphic despatoh from a correspondent, dated 9 o'clock p.m., says : " I have just been to take another look at the ship. Her stern is in the harbour, but her bows remain high and dry under the building•shed. She is shored up well at the bows by spars, and buoyed underneath on either side by casks, &c. The whole shipwright strength of the dockyard is employed upon her, and hopes are entertained that she may be extricated from her difficulty at the next tide, which will flow at half-pat 1 to-morrow morning, and which is one of the highest spring tides this moon. It is supposed that the harbour end of the slip has given out and sunk a little, the ground there abouts being entirely new, and no launch having taken place from the slip before. lam happy to add, the only accidents I have heard of are two. Russell, a foreman of shipwrights, and a shipwright have sustained injuries by falling into the slip in the discharge of their duties, and have been carried home. The ship has moved two feet six inches only since she brought up in the attempt to launch her." A subsequent telegraphic despatch from a corre spondent, dated half-past 12, states : " The Marlborough, through the united and energetic exertions of 2,000 men, was safely got off, amid the en thusiastic cheers of those engaged, about midnight, and now lies afloat and safely secured io the harbour." (From the Times of this day.) Yesterday was a great day at Portsmouth. Her Ma jesty and the Court Caine across the waters of the Solent one Of our grandest national ceremonials. Even an Englishman longs for the sublime and beautiful, and he finds it occasionally in the construction of enormous vessels, larger, and fleeter, and more terrib'y armed than any vessels ever were before. When tl.e vast pile is at last complete and ready to take to its element, it is ne cessary to give it some sort of sanction, some pious in auguration, some act which shall express in the highest possible degree the auspices and destinies of the majestic work. The vessel which was to have been launched yesterday was of the same class as the Duke of Welling ton and the Royal Albert, which are, we believe, about twice as large, twice as heavily armed, and, with the aid of steam, much more swift and infinitely more manage able, than any ship in Nelson's fleet. The mishaps of a naval career begin very early, and many a fine vessel has been ruined before it reached the sea, or even touched the water. These difficulties increase with our ambition, and if we choose to pile Pelion upon Ossa we must have competent ge Yesterday, vessel as happened last yearat p Pembroke , mb rok e machinery.the huge ominously and dis loyally refused to quit the shore. It stuck fast in the ways, whence it was only dislodged at midnight, with some chance, we fear, of requiring repair after this first step in her course. We will take what some people will think an unfair advantage of this mischance to con sider whether the nation will lose very much by the accident, and whether we really want one more monster of the deep on this costly scale. We are throwing out ships of this sort, we know not how frequently, for we know not how many such mon sters are still in their vertebras and their ribs in some one of her Majesty's dockyards. When the race of naval Anakim will be finished no one can say, but the spectacle will then be awful indeed ;—something unapproachable, and, within its own sphere, irresistible in power.
