Naval and Military Intelligence. Admiral Sir Provo W. P. Wallis is to receive the Admiral's good service pension placed at the dis posal of the First Lord of the Admiralty by the death of Admiral Sir Arthur Fanshawe, K.C.B. Yesterday a party of mechanics and workmen left Chatham Dockyard for Shoeburyness, for the pur pose of taking to pieces and removing the wreck of the Lord Warden target, the destruction of which was so complete nn the occasion of the recent ex periments with the Armstrong and Somerset guns. The target was constructed at Chatham DJekyard, under the superintendence of Mr. Ba6kcornbe, and was in all respects the most massive 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 water-line 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 51 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. The paddlewheel steam sloop Gladiator. 6, Capt. Francis H. Shortt, left Plymouth Sound on Monday afternoon for the West Coast of Africa. She started with her topgallant-masts housed. Four of her guns were left behind at Devonport, and every other arrangement made for the accommodation of troops. It is calculated that she can now receive 19 officers and 480 rank and file. The troopships Hornet and Atalanta arrived in the Thames on Tuesday, and dropped their anchors off the Custom-house quay, Gravesend, having on board the 74th Highland Regiment. Yesterday morning the troops commenced disembarking, con sisting of one field officer, 20 officers, and 543 non commissioned officers and privates, with 31 women and 62 children. Major-General H. Eyre, with Col. C. S. Gordon, his aide-de-camp, and Capt. W. Congreve, Brigade Major, from Chatham garrison, superintended the disembarkation. The regiment embarked at Madras on the 7th of March last, after a service of upwards of ten years. During the whole of its service in India its conduct has been most exemplary. The regiment, it is expected, will be sent to Chatham for a short time previous to its being removed to Scotland. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—F. F. M.

The object for which this Company has been formed is the erection of a spacious and elegant Theatre (capable of accom modating 2,50 u 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 advantageou, terms. The advantages of a site in the locality referred to are three-fold:—First, the large and densely-populated neigh 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 attentin to the following novelty, which will prove a boon t`..; the public and a considerable source of revenue to the ;Company, viz. :—a Restaurant on an extensive and coffl:plete scale, which will afford visitors to the Theatre the mrportunity of obtaining whatever description of refresmr:ent they may require, at moderate prices, without quitting the building, IP:iprovements of a most important nature will be intro ti:deed into every part of the proposed new Theatre. Due 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 the 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 entitled to one free admission, with the like privileges and restrictions. Upwards of 2,009 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 for, the deposit will be made avail able towards the payment due on allotment, and the balance, if any, will be returned to the applicant.

"The Hampshire week," as the series of meetings com mencing on Tuesday with the comparatively unimportant one at Odiham are commonly d esignated, is an agreeable change after the crowding, bustle, and somewhat riotous proceedings of the metropolitan gatherings. Stockbridge and its neighbourhood are a sort of southern Newmarket, and the racing partakes cf the purely business character that marks the head-quarters of the Turf, The first two events in the Club programme, a Handicap Plate over the Old Mile anti a Sweepstakes over the T. Y.C., were both good things for the fielders, the favourities being beaten in very hollow styl) by outsiders at 6 and 10 to 1. The Champagne brought cut a very fair-looking field of nine young ones, from among whom Lisette, Missionary, Rotho mago, and Trapeze were nest fancied from their good looks, the first named especially being a particularly racing-like looking filly, and backed a; evens against the field. Both sbe and Missionary, the latter looking as unprepared as when he ran at Bath, were, hosever, easily beaten by Cordelia, a stable companion of the ft,vourite, who came with a rush at the distance, awl. won cleverly. The Bibury Stakes had only four runners, and Suspicion going to the front a quarter of a mile from home won as she liked. The distance in the 50 Sovs Plate (five furlongs) just suited the Gunner, who disposed of his horses with ease. The most interesting race of the day was the Stockbridge Biennial, as it promised to show something of the cream of the Southern stables. The Duke, who has already been introduced into the Derby quotations, came with a private reputation from the Danebury stud. A field of 15 faced the starter for it, but the result we must leave the telegraph to tell. There was but a small attendance compared with other club days we remember. One of the great patrons of the meeting was absent through the serious illness of Sir Wil liam Codrington, who, we regret to say, ruptured a blood vessel last night. From a telegram, however, received on the Course during the afternoon we are enabled to state that the hon. baronet is progressing favourably. Handicap Plate of 100 soya, for 3-yr-old s an d upwards.

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 archeological 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 the 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 is said the new one will be so far completed by the 9th of November next as to admit of the usual civic festival being held in the hall on that day. willtha t t atof be an open oak roof , somewhat re sembling h 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 pert of which will be a lantern of the size of an ordinary sitting room for purposes of light and ventilation, and the upper portion of a tapering metal spire about 150 feet from the 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 or 't y 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 character and purposes of the ancient guilds in the city of London, of which it was the chief gathering place, and to the way in which they differed from 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 Thomas Knollys, then the chief citizen. It was 20 years in b u ilding, and was first used f or 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 wilh the roofs in vogue at the :~__~~~ c,,, - _____-- - period of its erection, had provoked the unfavour able criticism of men of taste for the last 150 years and more, and the covering at length having fallen into decay the Corporation hed resolved to avail themselves of the opportunity to restore it after its pristine style, and so wipe out the reproach which attached to them in connexion with the old roof. In a cavity of the bed of the stone yesterday a bottle containing a number of coins, with photo graphs of the whole of the members of the Improve ment Committee, was put, and that done, the stone was then lowered into its place by Mr. Myers, the contractor, and the Rev. Mr. Simpson having asked a blessing on the wo7k of which it was the begin ning, the ceremony was brought to a close. The Alabama and the Kearsage. TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I send herewith a copy of the official re port of Capt. Semmes of his late engagement with the United States' ship Kearsage, which you may, perhaps, think worthy a place in your columns. I avail myself of the occasion to note one or two inaccuracies in the letter of your correspondent, dated at Southampton on Monday, and published in Me Sun of Tuesday. The crew of the Alabama is there stated at 150 men; she had, in fact, but 120, all told. Again, as to her armament ; that of the Kearsage may be correctly given by your correspondent. I do not know what it was. The Alabama had one 7-inch Blakely rifled gun, one 8-inch smooth-bore pivot gun, and six 32-pounders, smooth-bore, is broadside. I am, Sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. M. MASON. 24, Upper Seymour-street, June 22. " Southampton, June 21, 1864. " have the honour to inform yon that, in 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 for 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 pivoted my guns to starboard, and made all my preps• 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 he replied in a few minutes, and the engagement became active on both sides. " The enemy now pressed his ship under a fall head of steam, and to prevent our passing each other too speedily, and to keep 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 P] with shot and shell.° " After the lapse of about one hour and ten minutes our ship was ascertained to be in a sinking condition, the enemy's shell having exploded 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 all steam, and set such of the fore and aft sails as were available. The ship filled so ra- iat berOtl pidly, however, L._ _ we hsa ma'Te mum progress the fires were extinguished in the furnaces, 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 shelter of the neutral flag, together with about 40 others, all told. "About this time the Kearsage seat 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 enemy 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's ship with the wounded that her midship section on 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 inevery direc tion by our shot and she,'l, the chain broken and. indented in many places, . a enirLise wally guarded, how ever, partly into the ship's side. She was most ever, in this section from penetration. The enemy was much damaged in other pan 4, but to what extent it is now impossible to t ell ; it is believed he was badly crippled. "My officers and men behaved steadily anti gal lantly, and though they have lost their shi p' the y have not lost honour. " Where all behaved so well it woul d be ou le s as to ure o f particularise,say i ng thatbu but M I re Kell,ann m d deny First n Linton- y myself the p ant, deserves great credit for the fin e condition in.

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. Following closely in the steps of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, it has been deteimined 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-the-Naze, Lowestoft, and Great Yarmouth regattas take place in close 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-THAMES ROYAL REGATTA. Amongst the features of race between the Eton and and weights we subjoin : - ETON. St. lb . Mr G. Walpole Sir A.
