Yesterday a party of mechanics and workmen left Chatham Dockyard for Shoeburyneks, for the pur pose of tsking to pieces and removing th© wreck of the Lord Warden target, the destruction of which was so complete on the occasion of the recent ex periments with the Armstrong and Somerset guns. The target was constructed at Chatham D-ckyord, under the superintendence of Mr. Bskcombe, and was in all respects the most msssive of its kind ever completed at that establishment. Considerable progress has been made in the con struction of the Lord Warden, ironclad frigate, building at Chatham, and yesterday the workmen commenced the operation of planking, the work of setting up the frame, with the exception of a small portion of the stern, being now completed. The stem of the Lord Warden projects a considerable distance beyond the vessel, and this portion of the frigate is shaped like the curved portion of a capital S. The projecting part of the bows below the waterline will be armed with a sharp, cleaver-like instrument for cutting open any hostile vessel, and sinking her. About 1,000 tons of armour-plating, of 41 and 5f inches in thickness, for covering the exterior of the Lord Warden, have been landed at Chatham Dockyard, the whole having been supplied by Messrs John Brown and Co., of the Atlas Works, Sheffield.

This Corporation has been formed for the purpose of uniting the ordinary business of a Finance Company with that of an Estate Agency---a want not yet supplied by any of the existing Companies. The business of the Corporation will consist of two distinct branches—viz., Financial Transactions and Estate Agency Business, and competent representatives will be appointei in the principal towns. The Financial Department will consist of advancing money on real and personal estate, whether intended for sale or otherwise, and on such other securities as the Directors may approve. The Corporation will act also as agents between mortgagors and mortgagees, and will negotiate subscriptions or loans for British and foreign undertakings, the bona fides of which will be strictly investigated before they are sub mitted to the public. The Estate Agency Department will embrace valuations ; the r urchase and sale of estates, lands, and houses; the management of estates, and the carrying out of drainage and other essential improvements ; also the sales of agricultural produce, farming stock, and every description of properties, by private contract and public auction ; and it is intended to hold periodical sales of freehold and leasehold properties. Sveral lucrative transactions have already been secured by the Corporation ; and although the Directors consider the present nominal capital ample for all immediate purposes, power has been taken to increase the same should it be ultimately deemed desirable. By the Articles of Association (which lie for inspection at the Temporary Offices of the Company), each Director is required to hold 2JO snares; and more than 2,f , 00 shares have already been subscribed for by the Directors and their friends. Pros , ectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained from the Bans ere and Brokers, or at the Temporary Of sof the Company.

The object for which this Company has been formed is the erection of a spacious and elegant Theatre (capable of accom modating 2,500 persons) for Dramatic and Operatic perform ances, and of a Bijou Theatre for first-class Amateur Enter tainments and Concerts. The Directors have secured an admirable site for the purpose at King's-cross, for a term of 99 years, on very advantageous terms. The advantages of a site in the localty referred to are three-fold:—First, the large and densely-populated neign bourhood ; secondly, the absence of a Theatre north-west of the metropolis ; and thirdly, the proximity to the termini of the Great Northern, and London and North-Western Rail ways ; the King's-cross Station of the Metropolitan, and the intended terminus of the Midland Railways. The Directors invite attention to the following novelty, Which will prove a boon to the public and a considerable source of revenue to the Company, viz. :—a Restaurant on an extensive and complete scale, which will afford visitors to the Theatre the opportunity of obtaining whatever description of refreshment they may require, at moderate prices, without quitting the building. Improvements of a most important nature will be intro duced into every part of the proposed new Theatre. Dee regard will be paid to acoustics, and ample facilities will be provided for speedy ingress and egress. The system of lighting, ventilating, and warming the interior of the build ing will embrace all the recent inventions, and on the stage most ingenious mechanical contrivances will be resorted to. The holder of 100 shares and upwards in the capital of the Company will be entitled to four free admissions to any part of Pile Theatre, except the private boxes, and to every per formance therein (except on benefit nights, throughout the year. The holder of 50 shares and under 100 will be entitled to two free admissions, with the like privileges and restrictions. The holder of 10 shares and under 50 will be entitied to one free admission, with the like privileges and restrictions. Upwards of 9,00 u shares have already been subscribed for. Applications for the remainder to be made in the annexed form. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied tor, the deposit will be made avail able towards the payment due on allotment, and the balance, if any, will be returned to the applicant. Prospectuses, forms of application for shares, and all other particulars, may be obtained from the solicitors, bankers, auditors, broker, and secretary of the Company. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. - - Following closely in the steps of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, it has been determined that there shall be an ocean race of the above club from the Thames to Harwich amongst their yachts. The commodore, Mr Andrew Arce deckne, being a Suffolk man, is natually anxious to display the advantages of the finest harbour on the coast, and the course to Harwich is all that can be desired. Saturday, July 9, has been named as the day affording the greatest advantages for yachtsmen attending the Royal Harwich Yacht Club Regatta on the 13th. The great improvements that have been recently made in this ancient city, and in its trade and commerce, have rendered it the station for the great yachting regattas this year, as Walton-on-th e -N aze L ow estoft, and Great Yarmouth regattas take place in c l ose proximity to Harwich Regatta, and bid fair to surpass any of those which have preceded them. Mr James Goodson, chairman of the Great Eastern Railway Company and commodore of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, has signified his intention to the Royal London Yacht Club of subscrib ing to their race. The arrangements are at present in abeyance. HENLEY- ON-THAM Amongst the features of race between the Eton and and weights we subjoin : ETON. at. lb, Mr G. Walpole Sir A. Lambe Mr C. S.

THE GUILDHALL, Yesterday the first stone of a new roof for this ancient civic edifice, which dates back upwards of four centuries and a half, was laid with some ceremony, in the presence of a large gathering of the principal members of the Corporation. The old roof which was nearly 200 years old, having been erected shortly after the fire of London in the place of the original one that was destroyed in the conflagration, had become very dilapidated and unsightly, and its removal had been long pressed on the Common Council, chiefly by Mr. Deputy Lott, as well as a work of necessity as in consideration that it was not at all in harmony with the structure itself, and was, therefore, offen sive to architectural and archssalogical taste. For some time past the subject has been under the con sideration of a committee of the Corporation, with Mr. Kelday at its head, and on the report and re commendation of that committee the Common Council resolved recently to expend about £24,000 in Abe entire reconstruction of the roof, in denuding the building itself of a thick coating of cement with which it is generally covered, and which conceals much of its original ornamentation, and in restoring some of the foundations. The removal of the old roof has been for some time in progress, and it said the new one will be so far com pleted by the 9 tll of November next as to admit of the usual civic festival being held in the hall on that day. It will be an open oak roof, somewhat resembling that of Westminster Hall in the interior, and will exactly correspond with the period in which the hall itself was built, and indeed with the original roof itself, as far as the style and character of that can now be ascertained after the lapse of mare than 450 years. Externally it will have a very high pitch, with a louvre in the centre, the lower part of which will be a lantern of the size of an ordinary sitting room for purposes of light and ventilation, and the upper portion hetiotnof a tap er i ng me tal spire about 150 feet ground, and which will be seen all over London. There will also be eight dormers or sky lights on each side of the roof to give light to its interior. The design is a joint production by Mr. H. Jones, the city architect, Mr. D. Wyatt, and Mr. E. Roberts, and the work is being executed by Messrs. Myres under a contract with the Corpora tion. The members of the Improvement Com mittee, 35 in number, including four of the alder men, with Mr. Kelday, their chairman; Mr. Chap lin, chairman of the City Lands Committee; the Rev. Mr. Simpson, chaplain to the Lord Mayor ; and the principal officers of the Corporation, assem bled on the roof yesterday at the ceremony of laying the corner-stone. Mr. Kelday in a brief address recounted the history of the hall itself, with a passing allusion to the purposes charaeterand which of the ancient guilds in the city of London, of it was the chief gathering place, and to the way i n which they differed front the livery companies as they exist at the present day. The Guildhall, he said, was begun to be built in the year 1411, in the reign of Henry IV., and the time of Sir Thom as Knollys, then the chief citizen. It was 20 years in building, and was first usethfor a Lord Mayor's banquet in 1501, in the mayoralty of Sir John Shaw. The roof was destroyed by the great fire of 1666, and afterwards repaired and restored under the direction, it was supposed, by Sir Christopher Wren in 1662. That roof, as being out of keeping with the edifice itself and wilt the roofs in vogue at the " Southamp'on, Jane 21, 1864. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, accordance with my intention, as previously an-- nounced to you, I steamed out of the harbour of Cherbourg between 9 and 10 o'clock on the morn ing of the 19th of June for the purpose of engaging the enemy's steamer Kearage, which had been lying off and on the port far several days previously. After clearing the harbour we descried the enemy, with his head off shore, at a distance of about seven miles. We were three-quarters of an hour in coming up with him. I had previously pivotect my guns to starboard, and made all my prepay rations for engaging the enemy on that side, When within about a mile and a quarter of the enemy he suddenly wheeled, and bringing his head in shore, presented his starboard battery to me. By this time we were distant about one mile from each other, when I opened on him with solid shot, to which Le replied in a few minutes, and the engagement became active on both sides. " The enemy now pressed his ship under a full head of steam, and to prevent oar passing each other too speedily, and to kccp our respective broadsides bearing, it became necessary to fight in a circle, the two ships steaming around a common centre, and preserving a distance from each other of from a quarter to half a mile. When we got within good shell range we opened upon him with shell. Some 10 or 15 minutes after the commencement of the action our spanker gaff was shot away, and our ensign came down by the run. This was imme diately replaced by another at the mizenmasthead.. The firing now became very hot, and the enemy's shot and shell soon began to tell upon our hull, knocking down, killing, and disabling a number of men in different parts of the ship. " Perceiving that our shell, though apparently exploding against the enemy's sides, were doing him but little damage, I returned to solid shot firing, and from this time onward attended [alter nated ?] with shot and shell. " After the lapse of about one hour and ten minutes our ship was ascertained to be in a sinking enndition, the enemy's shell having espioded in our sides and between decks, opening large apertures, through which the water rushed with great ra. pidity. " For some few minutes I had hopes of being able to reach the French coast, for which purpose I gave the ship al/ steam, and set such of the fore and aft sails as were available. The ship filled so ra pidly, however, that before we had made much progress the fires were extinguished in the fur naces, and we were evidently on the point of sinking. I now hauled down my colours., to prevent the fur ther destruction of life, and despatched a boat to inform the enemy of our condition. " Although we were now but 400 yards from each other, the enemy fired upon me five times after my colours had been struck. It is charitable to suppose that a ship of war of a Christian nation could not have done this intentionally. " We now turned all our exertions towards saving the wounded and such of the boys of the ship who were unable to swim. These were despatched in my quarter boats, the only boats remaining to me—the waist boats having been torn to pieces. " Some 20 minutes after my furnace fires had been extinguished, and the ship being on the point of settling, every man, in obedience to a previous order which had been given the crew, jumped over. board and endeavoured to save himself. " There was no appearance of any boat coming to me from the enemy after my ship went down. For tunately, however, the steam yacht Deerhound, owned by a gentleman of Lancashire, England, Mr John Lancaster, who was himself on board, steamed up in the midst of my drowning men and rescued a number of both officers and men from the water. I was fortunate enough myself thus to escape to the s h e lter of the neutral flag, together with about 40 others, all told. "About this time the Kearsage sent one, and then tardily another boat. "Accompanying you will find lists of the killed and wounded, and of those who were picked up by the Deerhound ; the remainder, there is reason to hope, Were picked up by the eneray and by a couple of French pilot boats, which were also for tunately near the scene of action. . "At the end of the engagement it was discovered by those of our officers who went alongside the enemy'sship with the wounded th a t h er m idship sectiono n both sides was thoroughly iron coated; this having been done with chain constructed for the purpose, placed perpendicularly from the rail to the water's edge, the whole covered over by a thin outer planking, which gave no indication of the armour beneath. " This planking had been ripped off in every direc tion by our shot and shell, the chain broken and indented in many places, and forced partly into the ship's side. She was most effectually guarded, how ever, in this section from penetration. The enemy was much damaged in other parts, but to what extent it is now impossible to tell; it is believed he was badly crippled. " My officers and men behaved steadily and gal lantly, and though they have lost their ship th e y have not lost honour. "Where all behaved so well it would be invidi• ous to particularise, but I cannot deny myself the pleasure of saying that Mr Kell, my First Lieuten ant, deserves great credit for the fine condition in which the ship went into acti on w i th regard to her battery, magazine, and shell.reome, and that he rendered me great assistance by his coolness and judgment as the fight proceeded. " The enemy was heavier than myself, both in ship, battery, and crew; but I did not know until the action was over that she was also ironclad. " Our total loss in killed and wounded is 30,—t0 wit, 9 killed, 21 wounded. "I have the honour to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, "R.
