TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
Ar SEA, May T. 1856.
The two days which the Hermann passed ct Southam
ton, her return from Bremen days of intense
excitement and amusement to oil board owing to the
grand naval review which took place of Sphead, and to
which every train brought gaping 'John Bulls" with
their wives and children, until though vast number
spent the night in the steamers in the DOCK sleeping
room became 80 in the city in many cases
guinea paid for psrmission to sleep the oor In
. ed We have heard that persons coming In the late
aims were forced to pass the night wandering through
the streets.
The feet, ~ the Hermann passed through 1t on tbs
night Of the 2lst, her way from Bremen presented
truly brilliant spectacle consisting g !. did Of some
In parallel lines OF four five miles In length fanked
either side by indefinite number Of her new steam
gun boats. As the Hermann passed between these two
long lines of Old Egand's " wooden wallis" whose
solemn silence only broken by the two bells announc
ing O'Clock A. NJ passing from ship to ship Ill lost
in the distance most vivid Idea Of the power and vigil
lance Of "mother country" was impressed upon all
who had remained upon deck.
The morning Of the 23d opened beAutifully-A crcum
stance which avorsd the English superstitous notion
that good weather always attends Victoria-and the
crowds Of strangers increased until the dock and al the
neighborng streets were swarming with life Some thirty
iron steamships, Of the largest of highlands
chant MARINE lay the dock-some engaged BY govern
ment for the Houses Of Parliament Others for dstin
guished officers and the nobility, others STILL In the
vice of speculators All were crowded before 10 A. NJ
and had left the dock, their way down the beautiful
southampton water. The screw steamship Himalaya,
Of the government vessels and OF the largest In
the world, must have had thousand passengers on
board and Of the vessels in the hands Of specuA
tors, must have yielded for passage money alone, ~
guinea head, . very handsome profit. The Hermann
followed three hours later, having waited until
p H. for her mails. The passengers had fine opportu-
nifty witnessing portion Of the review (assshe passed
down her way to sea-, which WAS just ct its height
since the Queens arrival had been delayed by accident
royal attached-which detention, We presume,
must have nerered with the proceedings Of the day
the attack was not made upon South Sea CASTLE, whi;h
was to be the grand feature in tho review.
On arriving ut the Of the naval display the two
long lines In motion passing In regular order down
the Soent to the spot where the royal yacht and others
were laying and rs the ships succssvely reached the
pvot-ships, each column, after passing between them
turned outwsrds round these ships, starboard column
turn to starboard and the port column to port
ming the rigging cheering and saluting the royal yacht
- she passed. When the Hermann took her departure
the whole feet were pouring forth their broadsides
