THE APPROACHING LAUNCH OF THE
MARLBOROUGH, 131, SCREW.

PORTSMOUTH, Wednesday.—The forthcoming launch
of this noble specimen of British marine architecture is
exciting the deepest interest among all classes. The

favoured with a berth. A state cabin is being erected
for her Majesty and the Royal family opposite the port
quarter of the Marlborough with a balcony surround-
ing, and a covered entrance with steps leading to the
state room, which will be tastefully decorated ; along-
side, and lower, is a standing for the commander-in-
chief, the admiral eaperintendent, and their friends.
There is also accommodation for military and naval visi-
tors, the officers of the dockyard, and the mayor aad
corporation.
