The gun-boat flotilla numbers about 120, and the mor-

The harbour is ordered to be clear of passenger ships by
ten o'clock. Thousand§ of excursiouists were taken to
Portsmouth yesterday by the South-Western and Brighton
and South Coast Railways, which lines are making ad-
inirable arrangements to meet the demands upon them
for accommodatien. The lodging department is quite a
stock-jobbing affeir how; the quotations are estouuding
and the prices "firm." The following yachts are ale
ready at the station, and they will dotibtlessly be merely
the forerunners of a laige flotilla of similar craft :
Hawk E. W. Y. C:), Lord Hill ; Foam (R. Y. S.),
Lord Dufferin ; Extravaganza (R.Y.S.), Sir .Percy
Shelley ; Wildfire (R.S.Y.C.), Mr. Turner Turner S
Myrtle (R.Y.§.), Mr. John Brown ; Allred (R.T.Y.0.),
Mr. W. D. Cunningham. R.N., &c.
The arrangements at Southampton for conveying the
members of the Houses of Lords and Commons, the
great dignitaries of State, officers of the public &Tart-
ments, and an immense concourse of visitors to the forthe
coming naval spectacle are on the largest scele, and frOm,
the great size and number of the steam-ships to be em-
ployed and' the pressure for accommodasien, the prepa-
rations resemble more- the fitting. out of a great flotilla:
for some expeditionary wariike•serviee than tha mere
catering for a holiday sight. It is calculated that on
Wednesday morning next nearly 70 ,team-ships, from
the gigantic Himalaya down to the tiny tug, will 'leave
Southamptni for the scene of this great national demon-
titration.- Thelollowing arrangements have been made :
Her Majety's steam-transport Transit, to carry 400
persons, is appropriated to the members of the House of
Peers, the General Screw Company's steam-ship, Har-
binger actin,g.as tender. 1%.10- Per-everance stew steam
transport, to carry 450 persons, will convey a portion
of the members of toe Commons, while her Majesty's -
steam-ships Widgeon and Monkey and - the Tdrkish
yacht will accompany that vessel and acc enmodate ads
ditional visitors from the Lower Howe. Her
steam-ship Vulcan, to carry 400 'per,ons, Holyreoo,
.200,
and Himalaya, 600—amounting in all to I,2oo—are ap-
propriated ti convey the officers of the publie depart-
ments. Two Govertinient tugs will be forwarded from
Portsmouth to act as tenders to these last-named vessel.-.
With the exception of the Himalaya rod the Herbinger,
and the Perseverance and Transit, 'which arrived yester-
day morning, the above-mentioned ships will leave Ports-
mouth to-morrow, owing to the low state of the tide, in
the morning, and willatichor in Seutsampten Waters,
so as to enable them to start at an early. hour on
Wednesday. The niejerity et the I ineeibSrs of. the
Loris sad Cornineus welt arrive at Southampton dur-
ing Tfue,day, accerronodetion having been pro-
-vided- for them in the varioue vessels many will sleep on
board'oti Tue,;day night. The .Himalaya is also arranged
with sleeping accoutrusdation for the number she is or-
dered tysitonvey, 4eheretere it is presumed that many of
th-.) gear/Pullen connected with the 'public departments
wili avail theniselvea of the'preparatione thus consider-.
ately made for their convenience. This will, no dub',
be almost comptilsdry, for the difficulty in procuring
beds has become so great that those who aze net already
provided will find it next to topoesible to get them.
The Peninsular and Orieetal Cempany have decided
upon sending to the review the following ehips :—The
screw steamers Shnle, Alma, Sultan, zna Manil!a, and
the paddle-wheel ships Ripoe and Euxine. These vessels
will convey, the directors and shareholders of the com-
pany and their friends, each shareholder having the
privilege of -a double ticket. The Preparations are on a
most surnptome Neale, and refreshments for the .day,
brealcf:ist and dinner,
..are being prepared
for between 3,000 and 4,000 persons. The West
India Reyal Couipany are not lax in their ar-
rangements. It was the previous intention of this cetn-
pony to devote to the use of the directors, shareholderi,
awl friends their two paddle-wheel steamers- Atrate. and
Tay, but; wishing to gi ye every accommodation for. the
comfort of c ,e visitors, they have determined upon send-
ing in addition. the gigantio paddie-steamer La • Plata.
These veseele:will have on heard about 2,000 persons, all

owing'tO the scarcity of their ships at present disengaged
the General: Screw Company have experienced some dif-
ficulty in taking so prominent a position in the proceed
ings es the tWO previously mentioned companies. The
Queen of the South, the only vessel at home and available
(the Herbinger 'being Otherwise engaged), is in the pay
of Government as a transport, but application was made
to the Lords of the Admiralty for the use of the ship on
Wednesday, to convey the ehareholders arid friends to
witness the4eview. The request was immediately granted.
Circulars were then issued and forwarded to each share-
holder, informing them that in consequence of the Lords
of the Admiralty havihg granted the use of the Queen of
the South, the directors would be happy to receive the
names those shareholders and their friends who are
anxious to be present on the occasion, as arrangements
will be made fir their conveyance by that vessel nn the
payment of Ik-each, which sum will include refreshments.
The South Western Company will send their steam-ships
an,k Wonder; and the Union Steam ,
Company the screw shipi/Sexon and Union, all of which
vessels will convey the public at so much per bead. In
addition to these there are chartered by private indivi-
duals the Senstralian Company's steam-ship Sydney, the
Duke of Cornwall, Victoria, Nord, NMI rod, Aqiii ;a, Hope,
and between 2Q Ana 30 ()tiers of various sizes. The dock
arrangements *ill be rendered as perfect as pesei We. A
plan has been prepared, showing the placeassigned to each
vessel as she is to lie alengeide the dock quays. Barri-
cades will be put up on Wednesday mottling in various
parte of the, docks for the purpo4e of preventing any un-
necessary c.Mfusion. 'Giese divisions will be exclusively
used by the different departments hey embark,

there is no doubt that large numbers will be compelled
to walk the streets- or satisfy themselves with
.the use
of a chair or floor to sleep on. " All that is .now hoped
is that the day will be fine, 'which will render 'per-
