M. Seymour, the present com-
mander-in-chief at Portsmouth, being also on board
as captain of the fleet. The Duke of Wellington
was iu those days commanded by Capt. Preedy,
who now commands the Hector, and everybody
knows how much was expected of her in that famous
expedition. She returned to England, however,
without having had any opportunity of going into
action and proving how formidable were her powers
of destruction. At present she has a mixed arma-
ment of Armstrong and smoothbore guns for the
purposes of drill, and is used simply as a seaman's
training-ship for the navy, under the command of
Capt. Seccombe. It may be that there is lying to-
day at Spithead many an ironclad with which she
could not successfully cope, but there is not in the
united squadron a ship which presents an object so
beautiful and commanding to the unprofessional
eye. The banquet which was last night given on
board her was splendid in the highest degree. No
pains had been spared to turn her spacious middle
deck into a brilliant saloon. This saloon, which
was enclosed off the deck, was 250 feet long by 25
feet in width, and was decorated on all sides by
many-coloured flags, the ensigns of many na-
tions, so blended as to produce a beautiful effect
without at the same time sacrificing that harmony
of tone so essential to all tasteful decoration. At
each end of the room was a large mirror, which
seemed to be set in flowers. Flowering plants,
too, formed embankments of varied hues all
along the sides of the saloon, or just revealed
through interstices in the hangings their beautiful
bloom ; the freshest and most verdant evergreens
which grow in southern England showed off to per-
fection the exquisite tints of the rare exotics em-
bowered amid their leaves. Capt. Seccombe and
the officers under him must have been proud indeed
when they came to survey the results produced under
their direction ; but it was in the decoration of the
dinner table itself that the most lavish care was ex-
pended. Abundant means were, however, at hand to
render the task comparatively easy. Mr. Hancock,
of Bruton-street, with a patriotic liberality which
does him infinite credit, placed at the disposal of
the Admiralty for the occasion the superb silver-
gilt service of plate which at a cost of £24,000 he
some years ago manufactured for the present Prince
Demidoff. In the palatial residence of the Prince at
Florence this service has, we believe, more than once
formed the chief feature at the entertainments which
he gave on a scale of magnificent hospitality, and it
last night decorated for the first time a banquet in
this country. Prince Demidoff is well known as a
lover of rare and costly articles—a taste which has
perhaps tended to impair a splended fortune, but,
however that may be, the gorgeous service which
once glittered on his table, and every one of the 100
pieces of which bears his arms, is now in 311.. Han-
cock's possession. The service is Roman in design,
and nothing can well be more exquisite than the
finished beauty of the scrolls and figures in basrehef
with which it is so richly ornamented. The flower
vases are especially handsome and massive, and they
were yesterday the fitting receptacles of the choicest
and rarest exotics. A flood of light from numerous
wax candles and chandeliers lit up this gorgeously
appointed table, and revealed all the delicate
tracery which cunning hands have woven round
the minutest articles of which this all but unrival-
led service is composed. The Duke of Somerset,
accompanied by the other Lords of the Admiralty,
and by Lord Clarence Paget, went on board the
Duke of Wellington shortly after 7 o'clock, to be
in readiness to receive his distinguished guests.
When the arrival of M. de Chasseloup Laubat, the
French Minister of Marine, was announced, the
Duke of Somerset advanced to the entrance port
of the middle deck to meet him, and conducted him
to the reception room, which adjoined the banquet-
ting saloon. When the whole of the guests had
assembled, dinner was announced, and the arrange-
ment at table was such that each English guest had
one of the French officers on his right hand. The
dinner was supplied by Mr. Willis, of King-street,
St. James's, and was exceedingly sumptuous. No
toasts were given at the banquet, and after it was
over the guests wandered about the ship, admiring
