yacht.
Forma two columns and return to Spithead.
Use sails instead of steam.
All boats carrying guns to assemble round the Royal

Anchor in two columns, according to the order of
sailing in two columns.
Alter course together on the bearing indicated.
The port column to become the starboard column.
On this signal being made the port column will keep
steerage weigh only until the leading ship can pass close
astern of the rear of the starboard division, when they
will put on all steam to regain their stations, the star-
board column checking speed until they have done so.
When the Queen approaches Spithead a general royal
salute will be fired by all the ships of the fleet. This
will be repeated when the royal standard is hoisted on
board the Duke of Wellington, that ship not joining in
the salute in consequence of her Majesty's presence on
board. On her Majesty leaving The Duke and re-em
barking.in the Victoria and Albert, previous to the com-
mencement of the review, another general royal salute
will 'oe fired, The Duke joining therein, and the Captains
cf all the ships are cautioned not to fire when the royal
yacht is close at hand. A final salute will take place at
the close of the review, when the Queen leaves the
fleet.

The following list of the ships, their guns, proper
complement of men—which, however, is in many
instances incomplete--steam power, and tonnage,
will be read with interest on the eve of the

Vivid ; the House of Lords, the Stromboli ; the House
of Commons, the Bull Dog : and the Ministry, the
Black Eagle. The Hecla is intended for the conveyance
of guests not belonging to any special body in the State.
The Admiralty have several other steamers in commis-
sion •a the occasion, but the only one that as yet has
had its specific duties for the day fixed is the Lizard,
which has been, with commendable regard for the means
of gratifying public curiosity, placed at the disposal of
the representatives of the press.

SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 10. 31
Since the receipt of the last intelligence the doings in
Southampton have increased tenfold. Not only are 27i
persons entering the town from all parts by railway, 22
but pedestrians, horsemen; and vehicles of every descrip-
St.
tion may be seen flocking in from ~11 quarters. Arri St.
vals from Bath, Bristol, and the extreme west have been 50
showered upon us in large numbers during the day, and 50
before bedtime there is little doubt that no accommoda- 20
tion for visitors will be left. 50

The great rush for packet tickets has considerably 25
enhanced the price, and many persons who are anx,ons
to seize every opportunity to " turn a shilling," have in 20
many instances purchased up the whole of the tickets z°
issued for some of the conveyance packets, and are offer-
-18
ing the same to strangers at 100 and 150 per cent. over 20
their original cost. Whether these " energetic 25
speculators" will reap that harvest which their love of
money has induced them to suppose, is rather doubtfil, 25
for, up to the present moment, fresh vessels are arriv- 25
ing for the convenience of all parties. St.
The West India Company have availed themselves of 50
the use of their steam-shin Thames, which is now moored
at the West India buoy, and will leave early to-morrow 10
morning, with the directors of the company and their
friends. St.
The Cadiz, the new screw stem-ship, belonging to St.
the Peninsular and Oriental Company, is also in readi- st,
ness to convey the directors and tLe staff of the corn- St
pany, who will be accompanied by many shareholders St.
and friends. The Tagus, also belonging to the same St.
company, has, we hear, been called into requisition for 12
the conveyance of gentlemen from Chobham, who may
be fortunate enough to get the day,
IS9tl
The South-Western Railway has since the morning,
chartered three ships, in addition to their own, from
14
London, which are expected to arrive during the night, 50
for the purpose of conveying excursionists (as per adver- 20
tisements) to the "great sight." Tie traffic on this line 11i
to-day has been immense. Not only has nearly every 10
carriage been drained from the station,
trains have been obliged to await the arrival of an en- St.
Heir jou
20
gine before they could proceed on rne—
but outward St.

„ .
The officials at the Telegraph office have likeTwise had
their work to do, for messages have arrived by dozens
calling upon parties to prepare tickets for fresh corners
at any price rather than not at all.
All the yachts in connection with the port have left,
and even watermen's boats are at a premium. Scarcity
of wind, however, prevents the demand being so great
as it otherwise would ; but with the proviso should the
carrot be present, yet appearance of
wind be favourable, there is no dotbt they will all be
engaged.
By nine o'clock to-morrow morning there will be a
greatSouthamptonchange in
n ; a
those who may be able to avail themselves will have the
satisfaction of witnessing that which, in their generation,
dth aeloporeusgehnt alblucs attelln
may never occur again.
