From the Era, July 22, 1865.—" A genuine and remarkable
novelty is now belag exhibited. She is literally a baby, not
having-reached the age of two years; and is gifted with in-
telligence and powers of memory to a marvellous extent.
She recites whole scenes from King John,' 'A Midsummer
Night's Dream,' &c., with appropriate action and astonishing

The French Fleet at Portsmouth.

PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 1.

A 3 o'clock yesterday a distinguished company,
amounting in all to 400 guests, assembled on the
Governor's Green to meet the French Minister of
Marine, the Lords of the Admiralty, and the prin-
cipal officers of the French fleet. At the entrance
to the green—a square, level plat of grass, which is
situated by the saluting battery at the south-
eastern end of the town, in an angle formed by the
ramparts, by which it is bounded on two sides—a
handsome triumphal arch had been erected, crowned
by a transparency displaying the French Eagle, be-
neath which was the letter " N." and the motto
" Les Anglais et les Francais sont unis." The arch-
way was ornamented at the top by crimson hangings
fringed with orange, and, although merely tempo-
rary, looked a very solid structure. The approach
to it, for a space of some 200 or 300 yards, leads
from the High-street through the bread avenue
formed by the Grand Parade, and along this space,
for its entire length, long poles were erected on
each side of the avenue, at distances of 20ft. apart,
from every one of which a flag was flying. Driv-
ing up this avenue, the guests passed through
the archway and on by the gravelled roadway
which had been laid down for the occasion to the
portico standing in front of the spacious series of
tents on the western side of the green, which
had been constructed with wonderful despatch,
and with the expenditure of a great amount of
labour, under the superintendence of Mr. Angell,
the borough engineer, Mr. Raike, Mr. Absolom,
and Mr. Galt, who constituted a committee for
the purpose. Their labour, however, was rewarded
by the great success which attended their efforts
yesterday. Through the portico just mentioned,
over which several flags floated, the guests
passed into a vestibule in which the first object
which met the eye was a fountain, of which the
waters, from amid peebles and evergreens, played
to a height of 25ft., from a basin 12ft. in dia-
meter. The roof and walls of the vestibule were
formed of bunting, striped with red and white, as
were also the walls of all the other apartments.
A bust of the Emperor of the French stood at
the right-hand corner, facing the entrance, and
on the left-hand corner of her Majesty. At
the two remaining corners were busts of the
Empress of the French and of the late Prince Con-
sort. Attached to the right-hand side of the ves-
tibule also were dressing-rooms for ladies handsomely
fitted up, while upon the opposite side similar accom-
modation was provided for gentlemen. The vestibule
was profusely decorated with evergreens and pots of
flowers, and from it a door formed by the drapery
led into an immense circular tent 240 ft. in circum-
ference, from the pointed summit of which garlands
of flowers extended to the walls all round. The
right and left hand sides of this magnificent apart-
ment, which was made the reception-room on the
occasion, were occupied by chairs and couches, en-
sconced at intervals amid banks of flowers, while
the pole which sprang up from its centre was en-
circled some 20ft. from the ground by a corona of
gas jets, which was illuminated at night with trefoil
lights. The floor was laid, as were the floors of all
the other apartments, with a species of white canvas,
which rendered the whole surface perfectly smooth.
A beautiful embankment of flowering plants, rest-
ing on a rock work, which looked as if it were com-
posed of golden nuggets, was built up round the
base of the central pole. This magnificent saloon
was connected by a broad corridor, the sides of
which were decorated with plants and mirrors, with
an oblong tent running at right angles to the cor-
ridor, and forming, with the permanent structure
erected on the green for the purposes of volunteer
drill, of which it is made to appear a continuation,
an apartment the entire length of which was not
less than 250 ft. Both sides of the corridor leading
into this tent were tastefully decorated with mirrors
and pots of flowers, and on the right hand side was
traced the motto " Pair, et bonne volonte," " Peace
and goodwill" being the motto on the opposite side.
Just facing the corridor a place was set apart for
the band, which occupied a position in the middle
of this oblong tent, and could thus be seen not
only from the vestibule and circular tent through
the corridor, but from that permanent half of the
oblong tent on the right of the corridor which
formed the banquetting-room, and which was
yesterday most tastefully fitted up. Its light,
cylindrical roof of corrugated iron was painted
