PORTSEA, a town, a parish, a sub-district, and a district, in Hants. The town stands on Portsea island, immediately N of Portsmouth town, and contiguous on the E to Land port suburb; is bounded, on the E, by strong ramparts, on the N and the W, by Portsmouth harbour; is divided from Portsmouth by a creek, with communicating bridge; has separate ramparts from those of Portsmonth, but connected with them by an extensive ravelin at the head of the dividing creek; was originally called Portsmouth Common, and did not acquire the name of Portsea till 1792; was allowed to be erected, at first, on the express condition that the houses should be throwndown on the landing of an enemy; began soon to share in the characteristics of Portsmouth, its trade, its commerce, its fortifications, and its government works; rose thence into much prosperity; is now occupied, to the extent of more than one-third of its area, by the naval dock-yard; has a principal street, called Queen-street, about ½ a mile in length; presents, on the whole, a crowded, mean, and dingy appearance; contains a number of public edifices, serving for Portsmouth and the suburbs as well as for itself; enjoys ready access to the termini of the Portsmouth railway s; and has a post-office under Portsmouth.

The ramparts were begun in 1770; were about ¾ of a mile long; had ditches, outworks, and 5 bastions; were pierced with the Lion and the Unicorn gates; and were razed in 1868. The gun-wharf barracks were constructed for the royal marine artillery; are now occupied by the royal artillery; and, at the census of 1861, had 455 inmates. The Anglesey barracks are a vast range of building, with the figure of a lion over the summit; form a fine specimen of military architecture; and, at the census of 1861, had 1,097 inmates.

Nearly 6,000 work-men have been simultaneously employed in the dock-yard in times of war; and upwards of 2,000 in times of peace.
