THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert, 131 guns, screw steam-ship, Comman der Alex. Little.—Mr. W. Cowan, acting assistant-surgeon, has taken up his appointment and joined this ship. In order to facilitate the fitment of rigging of this ship a portion thereof is being prepared at Chatham yard. The number of visitora who have gone over the Royal Albert since she has been here has considerably exceeded the grosi number of visitors to this yard (Sheerness) for the last ten years past. As she becomes more advanced the visitors increase in num ber. The fitment of Mr. W.W. Bonney's patent gutta per cha speaking tubes is being proceeded with. On visitors going round. the Hannibal, when here, these tubes were quite the lion of the ship—friends conversing with each other with the greatest ease when separated, in all parts of the ship, seemed to astonish the sight-seeing folks from all parts. The Ganges, 84 guns, has been put into N 2 dry dock for further sea-going fitment;i her rigging, sails, &c., are to be got ready for her, which will occu py fr o m n i ne to ten weeks from the present time. The Vultim e, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Capt. Fred. H. H. Glasse, has completed her coaling at Saltpan Reach, and will be ready to leave Sheerness on the 24th inst.

There is but very little moving in the shape of warlike activity now at Portsmouth The Colossus, 80, and Powerful, 84, aro now the only ships of the line fitting out, and those so slowly, for the want of men, that a record of their daily progress in e4uipment would be a most tedious detail. The Curagoa, 30 ; Harrier, 16 ; and Swal low, 8, all newly built screw vessels, are in process of being fitted with their engines fast; and the Harrier was so far finished that she got up steam and worked her propeller in the steam factory basin on Wednesday, and worked most satisfactorily at 80 revolutions per minute, with 201 b. of steam, 264 inches vaccum, so that a commission for her may be expected daily. The Royal George, formerly the sailing yacht of George IV., William IV., and Queen Victoria, has been taken from her moorings in Portsmouth harbour to the jetty of the dockyard, it is reported, to be equipped as the flag-ship of the Rear-Admiral Superintendent; she is the residence afloat of the junior captain and staff of the Victoria and Albert Royal steam-yacht.

The pen sioners were mustered yesterday at Sheerness by their com mander, and a suitable address was given them, in which were pointed out the duties they, as guards, would have to perform, and the mode iu which it was most desirable that those duties should be carried out towards their fellow-men taken in warfare, who no longearn(Nivseeraemeienne,mwiheso. are e h n r o e w e months' provisions, stores, &e., arnenbdeeirngohdarargwonoffoartategmivpetn. ,a o t f me p : O lto r eo t s s : in the Baltic, will be im ininnelgtianl tii number, e t ebr e dr : y eaoannkdbt thehoae r( shifted l t o ah v s °te masters, blockade Waterloo, o the Devonshire.

The splendid troop steam-ship Himalaya arrived at Kingstown yesterday, at two o 'clock, having made the passage from Southampton in 33 hour*. She arrived when the harbour was the scene of great excitement, from the regatta in progress. Thousands of spectators enjoyed the sight of this Leviathan vessel under weigh. Several yachts bearing. the flags - Of the Thames, the Mersey, the Royal Western (of Ireland), and other clubs were present. As the Himalaya hauled alongside the jetty h-r immense pro portions became evident to the crowd on shore, who heartily cheered as she came to her berth. There are stalls for 450 horses destined for Turkey. The embarkation is expected to commence this forenoon. The deck of the Himalaya is rather above the level of the jetty at low water; consequently the horses may, instead of the tedious process of slinging, be walked on board. Mr. E. W. B.

The South Devon Rifle Corps wore on Tuesday reviewed by the Commandant, at Totness. The men were put through various exercises, and fired several rounds with their rifles. The Colonel, Sir E. S. Prideaux, expressed his high approval of their soldiQrlike deportment. THE NEW DRESS FOR THE ARUY. _ - - After many suggestions and proposals this matter is de cided. The patterns were sealed yesterday, and the people will soon, after a lapse of more than a century, w it ness a revolution in the attire of their army. To commence at the head, the present unsightly and un popular cap will be replaced by a shako, very light in re gard to weight, soldier-like and graceful in appearanoe, not unlike the cap of years back. The small ball, the sub stitute for the feather, will be retained, and th e num b er will be conspi cuous l y di sp l a y e d. Speaking, as we are, of course, of the officers' uniform, the ?oat will be in the shape of a tunic, or frock, scarlet in colour, an 4 double- LINCOLN, JOLT 20.—The show of stock this year has probably never, as a whole, been surpassed at the country meetings of the society, and is quite equal in character to that of implements. In nearly all the classes it is beyond an average, and in some it developes re sults of the highest importance to the interests of agri culture. There are no less than 739 entries of cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs, with 295 of poultry. Short horns are exhibited in surprising numbers and perfection. Herefords are well represented also, though we have seen as good displays on former occasions. The Devons suffer, of course, somewhat from the remoteness of the district from their proper " calf country," but even in this class the show cannot be regarded as weak. A finer display of horses for agricultural purposes was probably never brouglit together, and here the Suffulks, as will be seen by a reference to the prize list, have been fairly beaten. There are also some excellent roadsters and bunters. In sheep the Leicesters come out very strongly, the diminished favour in which the breed is held being considered. The class of Southdowns is also well represented, and tho ug h M r. Jonas Webb, the most successful exh ibitor of f ormer years, has sent none of his fl oc k t o com p e t e , his place is well supplied by Mr. Lugar, of Bury St. Edmund's, and other breeders. Next to shorthorns, perhaps the finest feature of the show is the splendid display of Cotswold sheep ; and here is de veloped an important illustration of the benefits to be de rived by such exhibitions. At one period, the larg e f rame d well fleeced, and hardy C o t swo ld b ree d were systema tically branded by the society as inferior stock, from the smaller prizes awarded to them, but a vigorous resist ance on the part of the breeders, and a threat that they would take steps to introduce fresh blood into the coun cil, induced that body to do them justice. The conse quence has been that the Cotswold sheep is introduced to the notice of the agriculturist in this part of the coun try with the same prestige as Leicesters and Southdowns. He is enabled to compare it with "the improved Lin coln," to which, judging by the results of the show yard, it possesses a manifest superiority ; and, further, he has an opportunity of considering how far an animal which thrives so well on the uplands of Glocestershire would'. answer on the heaths and wolds of Lincolnshire. No less than 19 Cotswold farmers exhibit their stock on this casion, having brought them hither in a special train en gaged for the purpose. Such enterprise is highly com mendable, and has probably been stimulated by the in creasing demand for the breed from abroad. It has found great favour with the American agriculturists especially and I am informed that one flockinaster has this year sold 7 rams and 10 ewes to transatlantic purchasers, at prices in the aggregate amounting to nearly 1,0001 This is nearly as good as the results of Mr. Jonas Webb's last annual letting, at which a yearling ram brought him 102 guineas, while 75 other rams were let at an average of 251. 4s. 3d. Such facts speak for themselves, and though exceptional in their character, prove what intelligence and enterprise may still accomplish in agriculture. The display of improved Lincoln sheep is, from some cause or other, hardly equal either in numbers or quality to what had been expected ; and this, with other circumstances, leads many people to doubt whether the very unqualified ecomiums pronounced by Mr.• Pusey on Lincolnshire farming are altogether de served. The natives fully believe that they aro ahead of all the world in agriculture, and appear to be deterred by no sense of modest merit from boasting of it. Al though the regulations of last year's show for checking the practice of over-feeding stock for breeding purposes has been discontinued, and though Mr. To wneley has in consequence taken heart again to appear as an exhibitor, it is satisfactory to find that the repeAtely-expressed opinion, not only of the public, but of eminent agricul turists on the subject continues to be sensibly felt. The present display exhibits a marked improvement in this respect, and a careful inspection of the cattle does not disclose more than three cases in which the animals can be pronounced decidedly too fat. In pigs and poultry the general excellence of the show is well sustained. Dorkings, pre-eminently farmers' poultry, are shown in great perfection, and game fowl and Aylesbury ducks are also finely represented. Altogether, the society 'has reason to congratulate itself on the high character of this year's show, favoured as it has been by splendid weather, and by the praiseworthy exertions of the good peopl7 l ,of Lincoln, who have decorated their old city aiost profusely with flags and triumphal arches, and who in every other way have done teeir best to give the multitude of strangers pouring in upon them a kind and hospitable reception.

" Captain in military matters, and though they woupied soma of the finest and most cultivable districts of the world, yet their . farming promos ..and implements did not exhibit much resemblance to ifiose which were to be seen in the show-yards of Lincoln, and he believed had undergone very little change since the days of the poet Homer. (Cheers and laughter.) But he felt that they ought not to despond on that account, for it did happen to him in a very extensive farm, being brought into cul tivation by a most enlightened and excellent English Consul, Mr. Calvert, with his own eyes to see on the classic plains of Troy implement inscribed with the re spective names of Garrett of Saxmundham, and Croskill of Beverley. (Cheers.) He believed that this was the real solution of the Eastern question, of which they heard so much, and that neither our fleets, however well manned, nor our armies, • however valarous, nor our diplomatists, however skilful, could do so much as the plough, the spade, and the draining tile to revive exhausted provinces, and to recruit a failing population. Very gratifying indeed was the spectacle presented in the show ground at Lincoln, as compared with some of the scenes which he had lately witnessed. (Hear.) They all knew, and they had been reminded that day, that they were at pre sent in a state of war,:and true it was that the coast of that very county of-L inco ln might have to bear the first brunt of a . R uss i an i nvas ion. Indeed, he had been informed that the enemy had been detected is the harbour of Grimsby. (Laughter.) However, h e trusted that the E ng li s h an d F renc h B a lti c fleets wou l d preserve them from any great annoyance on that score, and he could .not say that they were now assembled .at Lincoln with anything like the appearance of a war congress. -- (Cheers.) Those fat loamy flats and sunny slopes which surrounded them need not fear being ex• " posed to the angry tread of an armed invader. The cattle which now filled the show—the sleek short-horn, the brawny Hereford, and fleecy flocks, ran no risk of falling the prey of hungry Cossacks or fierce Bashi- Zazouks, and, though all knew the implements of husbandry exhibited —the reaping-machines and clod 'crushers—could cleave knotty obstacles and make sharp incision s , their action was not followed by blood, and no tears bedewed the furrow. (Cheers.) He was right, then, in thinking that the sight in the field around them was a very pleasant one, both in actual con trast with the spectacle exhibited elsewher e , and as exhi biting a p roo f that though the nations might still be oc casionally plunged into strife and discord, yet the ten dency of the times was to foster and promote the arts and pursuits that followed in the wake of peace, and extend the triumphs of civilisation. (Cheers.) It would not become him to debate on all the merits of the pre sent exhibition. He heard it most highly spoken of by the best-informed judges, and it would even require the ingenuity which was displayed in that new machine, the dynanometer, to measure the degree of excellence to which it bad reached. (Cheers and laughter.) There was one reason which made him glad that he was on the present occasion the organ, however, un worthy, of wishing success to the Royal Agricultural Society. He had learnt that the place appointed for f C th a e rlis c le o . un ( ty Lou o d f c it i s iee n rs e x . )t y T e a h r o ' s u gh meeting n m w a a n s y there respects Cumberland could not,—as, indeed, what county could —he had almost said what corner of the globe could farmer with th e coun t y o f Lincoln, with its almost un broken continuation of rustling corn and glistening green crops—(cbeers)---though the county of Cumber land exhibits oveea large -proportion of its surface only such unfarmable crops as heath and granite, yet as it had some specialities in its scenery, there might be some also in its modes of cultivation not wholly undeserving of notice, and its agriculturists might have something to show as well as much to learn. (Cheers.) At all eve n ts, of one thing be could assure them —that the Royal Agricultural Society could nowhere have received a more hearty warmth of welcome than, he was per suaded, would greet it along the whole line of the northern border, and within the walls of merry Carlisle. (Cheers.) He had now only to add his hope that in what ever track the future progress of the Royal Agricultu ral Society might conduct it over the breadth of fair and prosperous England, it might in every county im part and receive fresh impulses towards the improve ment and perfection of that noble science of agricul ture, which perhaps was the most ancient and indispens able of all the pursuits that ministered to the welfare and insured the continuance of our race. (Cheers.) Hoping that they would receive the toast as he should wish, he begged leave to propose " The Royal Agricul tural Society of England." (Loud cheers.) The Earl of YARBOROUGH proposed, in highly com plimentary terms, the " Health of Mr. Pusey, the Pre sident of the Society," referring to the important ser vices which he had rendered the society, to the ability with which he bad conducted its journal, and to the leading part which he had taken in establishing the re putation of Lincolnshire farming. The toast having been drunk with loud cheers, and acknowledged by the CHAIRMAN, The Earl of H ARROWBY gave, as a sentiment in which all would nowadays concur, " Agriculture, .Manuface tures, and Commerce." -- The health of the public-spirited Mayor of Lincoln, - Mr. Tweed, was then proposed by Sir JOHN JOHNSTON, cordially received by the company, and duly responded to by his worship. Mr. THOMPSON, of Kirby-hall, gave "The Labouring Classes," and Sir JOHN &BURT " the Agricultural Societies throughout the World." The Earl of MANSFIELD acknowledged the latter toast, speaking especially on behalf of the Highland Agricultural Society of Scotland, the oldest of these bodies, and to the approaching country meeting, to which he gave the company a general invitation. The Hon. A. L. MELVILLE proposed the health of Mr. Miles, M.P., the president elect, who, according to custom, occupied the vice-chair. Mr. MILES, after returning thanks, gave the health of the chairman. Mr. WREN HOSKYNS had assigned to him the last toast in the list, "The Railway Companies, and thanks to them for their co operation in promoting the objects of the society." Having little to say upon this subject, fur the sufficient reason that the leading railway- co:n panics here--the Great Northern especially—have given the society little or no co-operation, the speaker branched off to the question of steam as applied to agriculture, on which he made the following valuable observations : Indebted, he said, as they were to the steam-engine on the rail fur their country meetings, it was only necessary to enter the trial-yard during the past week to witness the most brilliant illustration of what it could accom plish more directly for agriculture, in the shape of nearly tiO steam-engines, among which, without the aid of the dynanometer, it would have been no easy task to award the palm of merit. When he spoke of what the steam-engine had already done, he found it hard to resist the hope, authorised by a premium of the society, that this useful power, which had now long bee applied to almost every other branch of human art and industry, and latterly to so many agricultural pro cesses, 'night yet make one step more, and 'lend its aid to the actual task of cultivation itself. But he would take the opportunity of expressing his belief, not formed on slight grounds or short consideration, that this step will not be accomplished by crude and hasty attempts to plough, nor yet to dig —no, nor yet to " fork" by steam power. Neither ploughing, nor digging, nor forking was anything more than incidental means to the production of a certain result, and it was the result we wanted, and not the means. These might be totally altered by the steam-engine, which had revolutionised the mere process and simplified the road to the result _ _ LONGWOOD SHEEP. (Not qualified to compete as Leicesters.)

THE DINNER. The dinner took place in the Pavilion yesterday, at 4 o'clock, and was attended by upwards of 800 agricultu rists. Mr. Posey, the president for the year, was un fortunately prevented by illness in his family from taking the chair, which. in consequence was occupied by the Earl of Chichester. Among the company were the Peruvian Minister and the following members of a French Imperial Commis sion sent over to be present at the society's country neeetin,g, and report specially thereon :—M. Yvart, Inspector-General des Bergeries Imperiales et des Ecoles Veterinares, president ; M. de St. Marie, In spector-General de F.Agricuiture; M. Lefour, M. Cham bellan, M. Bostel, M. Tisserand, secretary, and M. Col lignan, first-class engineering pupil of the Polytechnic School, Paris. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk with enthu siasm, The CHAIRMAN proposed the "Health of the distin guished foreignerS who had honoured the meeting by their presence." (Cheers.) It had ever been the object of the society to cultivate habits of friendly intercourse with foreign States, which might both give them infor mation and receive it in return. He believed that in so doing they were promoting the general improvement of England and of the world, and in this object he was proud to say that they had at various times been assisted by different foreign Ministers. It was now univer sally allowed that to promote not only the interests of agriculture, but the great brotherhood of nations, ought to be the object of every honest and patriotic diploma tist and statesman. (Cheers.) On the present occasion they were only honoured with the attendance of one member of the diplomatic corps—his Excellency the Peru vian Minister—(cries of " Guano," and laughter) —yet there were several distinguished foreigners present, and especially M. Yvart and other French gentlemen, who had been sent over by the Emperer—(cheers)—for the pur pose of obtaining some information as to the best mode of conducting a society like the present, with the view, be believed, of forming a similar institution in France. (Cheers.) He need not say that to them and to all in telligent foreigners, who might honour the meeting with their presence the society gave a hearty welcome. (Cheers.) With respect to the Minister of Peru, he trusted that his Excellency, during his short stay in Lincoln, would take an opportunity of examining the beautiful green crops that were to be seen in the county, one great cause of which was the contribution of guano from his Excellency's country. (Cheers.) If he might interpret the thoughts of the farmers of Lincoln at the present time, he believed it would be comprised in this sentence, " more guano," which meant guano at a cheaper price. (Laughter and cheers.) They were all aware that this product did not depend on the skill or industry of man—(laughter)—it was the product of the birds that rode oh the waves of the Pacific, and had their homes on the rocky islets of Peru. If his Excel lency could remove political obstructions towards its easy attainment, and if after that he should again visit Lin coln, he would find not a more hearty welcome, but his eyes would be gladdened with still more luxurious crops; and he would behold the turnips greener and more abun. dant than they were even at present. (Cheers.) The noble Earl concluded by proposing the "Health of his Excellency the Peruvian Minister and the Foreign Guests present." His Excellency the PERUVIAN MINISTER returned thanks, and apologised for the difficulty he speak inghadinrstof doubt in the English tongue. Throught the rough tlie companyc u his poor words, however, he had no. One of the first grati tude for their hospitality.

He believed, from the analogy ofeisry triumph the steam-engine had hitherto achieved, that it it ever performed this task it would be in more perfect detail, and by a process more intrinsically peculiar to its own mode of action than any that could be mistakenly thrust upon it by attempting to gear on to it horse-tools or hand-tools unsuited to its nature, and by no means essential to the end in view.
