" Having given the design now submitted to you my
best consideration, I present this report under a deep sense
of the gigantic magnitude and importance of the subject,

and fully impressed with a knowledge of the fact, that
there is • room for great variety of opinion upon many of
the points inVolved in it. I cannot, however, but express
my full confidence -in the soundness of theJeading prin-
ciples which govern the design, confirmed as they are by
the experience of other engineers,-ai well as my own; al-
though it is possible that some of the details may be ad-
vantageously modified durin,g the progress of the works.
" The execution of the design is not free from engineer-
ing difficulties in several points, but difficulties of a similar
nature have-already been successfullyovercome in this me-
tropolis, and this will probably be considered a sufficient
guarantee that none will now occur which cannot as rea-
dily be:surmounted.—l have the honour to remain, son-
tlemen,

Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Richard Saunders Dundas,
K.C.8., Commander-ire Chief of the ea-Baltic fleet, re-
turned to Spithead yesterday and rehoisted his flag on
board the Duke of Wellington. Strong southeasterly
gales blew all day yesterday, accompanied by rain and
fog, which for the moat part obscured the view of the
roadstead from the shore-; the ships struck their t vgal-
lantimasts and made snug below. The fleet was aug-
mented yesterday by the arrival from Davenport of the
Brunswick? SO, Captain Yelverton, C. 8., which fired a
salute for the port admiral on anchoring at the Mother-
bank. It is reported that her`Majesty will proceed from
London. to Portsmouth on the morning of the 16th ta re-
view the fleet, and return to town the same evening. It
is also rumoured that the Plenipotentiaries now at Paris
will visit England and be pi esent at the review. It
is supposed that the members of both Houses of Par-
liament will also be present, and that the naval troop
steam frigates now in harbour will be devoted to their
service. There were 111 sail of the fleet to be reviewed
already assembled yesterday, and the South-Western
and Brighton and South Coast Railway Companies are
making preparations with the view of conveying as
much additional traffic to the scene of interest as can be
accomplished with safety to the public. The .naval re-
view of 1814 in the presence of the allied, Sovereigns,
after the peace of that day, was a mere yachting display
compared with the spectacle now contemplated. Her
Majesty's yacht Osborne, it is believed, will be specially
commissioned for the service of the Plenipotentiaries on
the occasion.

The following steam transports, having been refitted,
are at Liverpool waiting for orders to proceed to the
