We have great satisfact; ,n in being enabled to state
that a great Mili- tary Hospital, on a scab Jefitting our Army establishment, is about to be built on the banks of the Southampton Water. In the beginning of this summer the Government determined on taking this step, and then at once entered into negotiations for the purchase of a site. These have recently been brought to a successful termination; and the nation is now possessed of about sixty acres of land close by the beautiful domain of Lord Hard- wick, at the entrance of the Southampton Water. The situation is in every point of view most favourable, and is within easy water distance of Portsmouth.--Iforning Tot
