Naval and Military Intelligence. His Royal Highness the D uke of Cambridge, K. H., Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, visited the camp at Aldershot yesterday, and made his half yearly inspection of the troops comprising the divi sion. His Royal Highness, who was accompanied by' Col. Egerton, Deputy Adjt.-Gen., and Col. Clifton, A.D.C., arrived at Farnborough by train about 9 o'clock, being met by Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Y. Scarlett and other officers of the division. After breakfast at Forest-lodge, the residence of Gen. Scarlett, the Duke proceeded to the Long Valley, where the, troops had been formed up in two lines awaiting his arrival. A series of field movements lasting , about two hours followed the marching past. The Ist battalion 24th Regiment, stationed at the Curragh, has received orders to embark at Belfast for Malta, the 92d Highlanders, now at Dublin, re placing, it is understood, the 24th at the Curragh. Yesterday the whole of the troops composing the garrison at Chatham were brigaded at Chatham lines by Major-Gen. Sir R. Walpole, K.C.8., and were exercised for some time in an extended course of light infantry and other field-day manoeuvres. First Lieut. G. Hewett, 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 1 drummer, and 37privates of the light infantry com panies, Royal Marines, left head-quarters, Chatham, yesterday, and embarked on board the paddlewheel steamer Fearless, Mr. Taylor, second master, for conveyance to the Endymion, 21, 500-horse power, Capt. C. Wake, fitting at Sheerness for sea. The detachment of Royal Marine Artillery will be sent to the Endymion from head-quarters, Portsmouth. The invalided and time-expired troops brought to England in the sailing Indianian Sir John Lawrence were disembarked from that ship at Spithead yes terday, and forwarded to the Royal Victoria Mili tary Hospital at Netley and to the depots of their respective regiments. The Sir John Lawrence after wards sailed from Spithead for London. The War Department steam store snip Earl de Grey and Ripon, from Portsmouth, laden with 500 cases of the latest Enfield rifles, containing 20 in each case, yesterday left Woolwich Arsenal for the Tower, to deposit for issue the arms orderdd to be con verted on the breech-loading system. The ship made the run from Portsmouth to the Nore in 17 hours, her rate of speed having been augmented by some recent improvement in her boilers. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Sabine Pasley, K.C.8., Port Admiral and Commander-in-Chief at Ports mouth, and Rear-Admiral Superintendent G. G. Wellesley paid an official visit on Monday morning to Rear-Admiral L. M. Goldsborough on board the United States' paddle steamer Frolic, now lying in Portsmouth harbour with Rear-Admiral Golds borough's flag flying.(temp.) at the mizen. Rear- Admiral Goldsborough afterwards returned the visit on board Sir Thomas Pasley's flaghip the Victory, The screw steam frig►ate Leander, 39, Captain William M'Dowell, C. 8., from the .Pacific station, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday morning. She left Callao July 2, rounded Cape Horn in lat. 60 S. July 31, arrived at Ascension August 24, and left in com pany with the Bristol August 28. When sounding the Horn in lat. 58 S. many icebergs were observed ; for four days they were so thick as to make the navigation difficult. Throughout the entire passage fine weather has been experienced. The Leander spoke, August 24, lat. 8 23 S., long. 14 06 W., the ship Jumna, from Bombay ; Sept. 10, lat 14 28 N., long. 25 23 W., the ship Ceylon ; and Sept. 28, off Scilly, the British Constitution ; and off the Land's end the bark Hero of the The Leander bring some naval supernumerary invalids and prisoners she will probably be paid off at Sheerness. Her band master was drowned off Cape Horn, and an invalid blacksmith died subsequently. She lost above four days in the passage from Ascension through being in company with the Bristol, having had frequently to keep her topsails down when not towing. They parted company on the 11th September, in lat. 15 N., off the Cape Verd Islands, at which time the crew of the Bristol were in a very healthy state.. She is commanded by Capt. Leveson E. H. Somerset, car ries the flag of Commodore Geoffrey T. P. Hornby, and leaves her duty on the station on the West Coast of Africa partly through the previous sickness of her crew, and partly in consequence of defective machinery. The screw sloop Swallow, 9, 486 tons, 60-horse power (nominal), Master Commander E. Wilds, was yesterday put out of commission and the ship's com pany paid off in the steam basin at Sheerness. The Swallow was placed in commission in the latter part of 1861, and from the length of time she has been in service shewill require an extensive overhaulof both engines and hull, and be furnished with new boilers before she again hoists the pennant. A naval court-martial, composed of Captains W. C. Chamberlain (President), C. FeHowes, F. A. Herbert, E. Tumour, and D'Aplin, assembled on board her Majesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth; yesterday morning, for the trial of Edward Reynolds, private Royal Marines, serving on board the Victory, on three charges-1, absence without leave ;2, using threatening language to Sergt.

The allotment of estates and ground rents since the last quarterly report have been :—The West London Estate, North End, Fulham, July 25, 1866 ; Rams gate Estate (East Kent), Sandown Estate (Isle of Wight), and Ipswich Ground Rents (Suffolk), Aug. 29, 1866. The directors can congratulate the shareholders on the highly successful result of the West London and Ramsgate allot ments, which, with the Ipswich ground rents, have been entirely disposed of. The second Sandown Estate is so eligibly situated—adjoining the first property acquired by the Society in the Isle of Wight, every plot of which has been sold—that there is every reason to expect a prompt realisation now that the building operations at Sandown, which had been suspended owing to the dearness of money, have been resumed. The Ramsgato allotment took place after a public meeting in the town, at which Col. Brown low Knox, M.P., the Hon. and 11ev. W. C. Talbot, and Newnham Winstanley, Esq., members of the executive committee, attended as a deputation to explain the society's system. The contracts for the drainage, roads, and other works on the Deal Estate, being on the eve of completion, the unallotted portion of the Victoria Town Estate will be offered for sale on Wednesday, November 14. The first portion of the Forest Gate Estate, close to the station on the Great Eastern Railway, will be allotted on Friday, the 16th of November. The committee having arranged with the local board at Bebington, the contractor for the roads on the New Ferry Estate (Cheshire) has commenced operations. Although the committee have been disap pointed in not holding the present quarter . ly meeting in the premises in Norfolk and Howard Streets, they look forward to be enabled to meet the shareholders in the now offices at the annual meeting, on Tuesday, the 11th of December, when tho balance-sheet for 1865-6, and the annual report of the board, will bo presented. Tho _c7 3 diOates, of whom two afro to be elected as auditors if r share,holder3 at the quarterly meeting, advertir 10. rule 30, are Mr. W. 11. Cloinow, Mr. J. Goa i d, ei d .eu -n stace, Gray.

After the day's eloc unts of tho financial tion by the shareholders, the year en di ng soptember 30, 1866, will be examined and audited in duo course. Tho claims of the ailottees for the freehold franchise in the several counties in which the society has obtained land have been successfully sup.. por t e d f ree o f e xpense in the Registration Courts. On the 7th of September the Cousorvatiye L.aKid Society . etsaplqed, Its fourteenth year; and the executive committee have entered on their fifteenth year with full confidence as to the continuance of the prosperity which has hitherto at tended its operations, even in the most trying times. The CHAIRMAN stated that, owing to a variety of adverse circumstances, the directors had not been able to realise their expectation of proceeding with the works to the extent they had hoped to do at the last meeting. In the bill that they promoted in the last session of Parliament they endeavoured to get authority for the Midland to work the East Glouces tershire, and to remove the obstacles that were raised thereto under the Great 'Western and West Midland Amalgamation Act of 18G3. In these particulars they were unsuccessful ; but by the bill obtained they would be enabled to effect a considerable sav ing in making some portions of the line. During the progress of the bill a communication was received from the Great Western directors with a view to an amicable arrangement. They were told this could not be done without the sanction of the Midland directors, to whom the East Gloucestershire were pledged by former agreements. They consented, however, to the opening of negotiations, and hoped on the return of Mr. Gooch, the chairman, that a meeting of the representatives of the three companies would take place, and some joint arrangement for making and working the line might be come to. Pending these negotiations it would be necessary to go to Parliament in the ensuing session for a bill to extend the time for the purchase of land and con struction of works. Contracts had been 'entered into for the purchase of a considerable portion of the land required for the line, especially the loop line through Cheltenham ; £15,000 had been expended in the purchase of land, and only about £3OO had been spent in law expenses. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. RAYMOND seconded the motion. In reply to questions, The CHAIRMAN said that each call when paid up would realise £21,860. There was unpaid on the first call £2,600 ; and on the second call, £ll,OOO. The whole of this, however, was not actually due, a considerable portion being as against shareholders from whom land had been purchased. The only deviations to be made from the original plan were at Withington, and between Lechlade and 'Pitney ; in all other respects, and in the approach of the line to Cheltenham, through Badgworth, Leek hampton, and Charlton, the original plan would be adhered to. The report was then adopted. A resolution authorising the directors to take such measures as might be deemed advisable for carry ing into effect the recommendations contained in the report was unanimously carried. Sir M. W. Hicks-Beach, M.P., Mr. W. Strick land, and Mr. H. Akers, the retiring directors, were re-elected, and Mr. G. C. Ring was re-elected auditor. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND. The report of the directors states that the receipts for traffic in the past half-year ending the 31st of July amounted to £40,814 ; for rents and supply of plant to other companies, to £2,872 ; for dividends from other companies, to £4,953 ; and for interest from other companies to £3,034, making the total revenue for the half-year £51,673. The working expenditure amounted to £22,595, and the interest on loans t0£15,808, together £38,403, leaving, with £53 from the preceding half-year, a b a l ance of £3 Cs. per cent. per annum for the half-year, and £5,312 for dividend on the 5 per cent. consolidated preference stock, at the rate of £3 13s. per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £57. Deferred dividend warrants would be issued to the holders of the 5 per Cent. consolidated preference stock for the difference between the dividend at the rate of £3 13s. per cent. per annum, and £5 per cent. per annum, amounting in the half-year to £1,965. The decrease in the company's net revenue for the half-year as compared with the corresponding period last year was attributable to the falling off in cattle, grain, and coal traffic, and to the excessive rates of interest payable on the com pany's open debt. The decrease in those three items of traffic amounted to £3,454 and the excess of interest over 5 per cent. on the open debt to £2,455, making together £5,909. But for those exceptional causes the revenue would have been sufficient not only for the full dividend on the 5 per cent. consolidated preference stock and the 41 per cent. new shares, but also for a dividend at the rate of 1 per cent. on the company's B shares. Besides the direct loss occasioned by the existence of the cattle plague, a large indirect loss had been sus tained, particularly by the suspension throughout the entire district of the usual cattle markets, which formerly yielded a larger passenger traffic to the company. These markets had been resumed within the last few days. The general goods and parcel traffic had experienced an increase of £B4l, and the general passenger traffic of £232 in the half-year. The large amount of the com pany's open debt had, from time to time, received the special consideration of the directors, who felt that they could not too strongly urge upon the shareholders the importance of their co-operating with the board in the necessary measures for its early liquidation. The readiest means for the at tainment of this object seem to be the sale of the shares held by the company in the Deeside lines, and of the Formantine and Buchan preference shares. The Deeside shares were originally acquired for de fensive purposes; but, in consequence of the lease of the Deeside lines having been confirmed by the Amalgamation Act, the necessity for retaining the shares no ,longer existed, and the board recom mended their immediate sale. They were gua ranteed in dividends at the rate of 7f per cent. and 3i per cent. per annum respectively under the pro visions of the lease. The directors had no hesita tion in recommending both the Deeside and the Formantine and Buchan shares as safe and eligible investments to the shareholders on such terms as would yield a fair return. The proceedings would enable the company to reduce their open debt by nearly £300,000, and so render them independent of the fluctuations of the money market ' The Company's Amalgamation Act came inutloiivray ration on Aug. 1 last.

Th e half-yearly meeting of this Company was held at Strauraer on Friday, the Earl of Stair iu the chair. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in +moving the adoption of the report, referred to the satisfactory and liberal man ner in which the Caledonian Company were work ing the line, and the excellence of the arrangements for the steamboat traffic between Stranraer and Belfast. During the last two months the traffic with Ireland, especially in cattle, had very much, increased, and also the traffic on the line generally, not only in passengers, but in goods and stock. There was therefore a prospect_ of better times for the company. As to the postal service with Ireland, Portpatrick harbour was finished, and it was hoped that the Government would accept the company's The report stated that 17,840 shares had been ap lied for and allotted, which would provide the direc tors with ample funds, as far as could be ascer tained, to cover the cost of the enlargement of the Fray Bentos establishment, and the purchase of the land and construction of the works contemplated in Entre Rios. The directors believed that the produc tion of the extract of meat would amount in 18G7 to 500,0001 b. or 600,0001 b. The quantity of ex tract of meat to be sent from Fray Bentos for ac count of the new company up to the 31st December next might probably be from 50,0001 b. to 60,000111, The quality was unexceptionable, and was fur A y borne out by the supervision and analysis of Bar on Liebig, the director of the scientific department of the company. The directors continued to zeceive from the manager of the General Depot, :.it Ant werp, the most assuring accounts of the increasing demMid for the extract, not only in Europe, but elsewhere, and it seemed a matter of little doubt that they would be able to dispose of all they could manufacture at remunerating prices. One pound of this extract contained the soluble parts of 301 b. of fine meat, either beef or mutton, free from fat or gelatine, corresponding in quantity with about 451 b. of English butchers' meat, inclusive of - the usual quantity of fat and bones. It was used not only for medical, but much more extensively for household purposes,. and when its real value wan understood the apparently high price would be found moderate. The report was adopted, and a vote of thank s to the chairman and directors concluded tho pro ceed;ngs. Inwadation of the Loire. ORLEANS, Sept. 29. The worst fears of this community have been re alised since [ wrote to you on Thursday evening, and the flood of 1866 will leave behind it as sad a history as those of its terrible predecessors in 1846 and 1856. I have already described to you the state of matters up to Thursday (27th), at 6 p.m. On that day the Loire was still flowing somewhat in its usual d'rection, though its descending torrents were strewed with the wrecks of many farmsteads, tim ber-yards, and other centres of domestic and in dustrial life. The lower parts of the town, too, were under water ; and the tremendous torrent, as it roared through the 16 arches of the railway bridge, and the nine arches of the bridge which connects ()Hee 4,J:A on that night it was hoped that the dykes would would prove sufficient to keep the river in its course. The authorities, however, had for days before beea preparing themselves and the community for a very different issue. During the whole of Thursday there were-no doubt grave misgivings as to the security of the dykes which protected St. Marceau and the adjoining districts of country. From break of day to midnight, with unceasing activity, the removal of families, cattle, and property of every descrip tion went on under the superintendence of the authorities, and boats and rafts arrived from Paris to be used in certain dreaded contingencies. When I left the suburb of St. Marceau between 10 and 11 o'clock on Thursday night this work had slackened, but was still going on, and the whole population was afoot, having been prohibited from sleeping that night in their threatened houses. These roders extended to • a large area on the St. Ainrceau side of the river, covered with streets, villas, farm houses, vineyards, and abounding in nursery gar dens. When I passed homewards, about midnight, by the temporary office of the prefecture, a notice was being put up for the information of the eager crowd. It was to the effect that the water at Glen and at the bridge of Orleans was nearly ,stationary, but was not subsiding. The access leading to sub merged localities was guarded by gendarmes and lighted by flaring torches to prevent persons being drowned through ignorance of the danger which surrounded them. All was calm and quiet, though uninvited crowds perambulated the streets. Never theless the crisis of a terrible catastrophe was at hand. At one o'clock on Friday signal guns and the blast of the bugle gave a last note of warning to the doomed district ; . and soon the cry went wildly through the town that the dykes had given way, or as the Orleans vulgar phrase expresses it, " les le ves oLt creves." The first breach was made about six miles above Orleans, at a place opposite the Chateau de 'lsle, where the dykes form an angle or bend. Once made the breach soon Winne enlarged, and in a minute or two there was rushing through it a torrent which with unchecked fury desolated a wide expanse of country, and in its course sweeping right across the populous suburb of St. Marceau. It was in this sad state that I saw St. Marceau early on Friday morning --a foaming yellow torrent running groun d was low, the tops of garden walls through houses and gardens ; and in some places, ofs - o f houses only appeared above the a w n h d e r t e h e t h r o e t t he waters.tops of isolated Wherever flood. During the day I ascended the towers of t h e c athedral, w hich command an unbrok en view of t h e plain far an d ne ar. The s p e ctacle was distress ing. What w as a da y or two a go one vast gard Iofturricnhendes:nywasnowawaste of telescope I a saw houses, or whole villages monuments of the dis astrous catastrophe of the night. The amount of damage done by the Loire in this immediate neighbourhood must exceed millions.; what the total loss is throughout the whole course of the river no one dare guess at for a long time to come. lam glad to say th a t the number of lives lost is very small. Two men employed on the farm of the Chateau de l' Isle, sle, reported this morning to have been carried down and drowned, were during the day fromrescued 1 for safety. . . The bridge at Olivet, over the Loiret (an impor tant tributary of the Loire), has given way. The omnibuses between Orleans and Olivet are replaced by boats. A great part of the road is under water. Olivet is t% league from Orleans, and the road to it passes through St. Marceau. CORNISH PILCHARD FISHERY. —Although the season has advanced so far without any success of moment to report, the hopes of the fishermen ou the south coast of Cornwall have most suddenly rovived in tho last few days, consequent on a moderation in the weather. On Thursday two seines at Coverack, and three seines at Porthalla shot, and on Friday no loss than five seines belonging to. St. Maivo's shot in the western bay of Falmouth. All these have enclosed fish, which are being tucked, and m any thousands OT:l.4ogsheads are expected to be lauded, espe cially as finer Weather seems to have set in.
