PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 24.
A private letter received from Shanglise an-
nounces that the Scout left YokuhemA, Japan, fur Shanghae
oe the 10th of January, in company with the imperious°,
which had small pox on board very seriously (92 cases), so
that the latter vessel made all sail for Hung Eon. The
Encounter was left es guard-ship at Yollubanui, and the
Scoutproceeded to Nepaeki. She arrived there on the lrith.
The ulcan, steam transport, was lying there, having come
from the Gulf of Pecheli, leaving the Furious there alone,
murounded by ice. As the Scout w a leaving Nagasaki en
the 19th she spoke the Scotland, hired trans-
=which was proceeding in search of the
odel. The latter vessel had bean reported lost with
Admiral }lope on board. Nothing had been heard of her
since leaving Chosen, four days before, and much condemn.
tson was caused by that annimecamont. She, however,
was safe, bet had boon ou a rock for twenty-four hours, and
was nearly wrecked. Fortunately the machinery was not
damaged, and the engines kept her afloat by discharging
water from the bilge. She is now waiting to go iu dusk.
Admiral Hope heisted his flag on board the Centaur,
where the was to remain until the Coromandel
was repaired. The Pioneer wee to leave in two
days for North Japan, to relieve the Encounter. At
Shanglith were the Centaur, Scout, Chesapeake, Roebuck,
Renard, Soaks, and several gunboats. An expedition, under
the oesoniand of Admiral Hops, was cootemplated to cheek
the rebels on the Yang-tae-Kiang. The Scout was to remain
at Sbanghae as guardship. The mail steamer Formosa
was to leave on the 2-rrth, to convey General Hope Omit
and staff passengers to Hong Kong.
By a private letter received from the Cape of Good }lope
we kern that Rear-Admiral Sir Henry Koppel, commander.
la-chief at the Cape of Good Hope, has requested
of the Admiralty to strike his flag, in order that certain
charges made in reference to him may be investigated, and
in consequence of which charges be has hem superseded by
Sir Baldwin Walker, and removed to South America as corn-
mandor-in -chief of that station.

Os Saturday morning Major-General lard W. Palliate the
oommander-in-ehief of the south-western diatriet, made his
:ialf-yeurly inspection of the 2nd battalion of the 19th Riin
giment, stationed in this garrison. The 2nd Win/kedges
11th Regiment will be inspected to-morrow.

WOOLWICH, NAME 24.
The second division of the tint brigade Royal
Artillery, consisting of three batteries, are ordered to
ememble on parade a, an early hour to-morrow, and after
inspection to march to the dockyard and embark on board
the steam troop vessel Mem* for Gibraltar. The force
was under orders to embark yesterday, but the Megiera was
delayed in consequence of some tubes connected with her
boilers requiring repair. A detachment of 100 rank and
Ere of the 100th /tegument, which arrived at Woolwich
yesterday, will also embark on board the Megwra, and •
limited number of soldiers' wives and children will acmes-
may the force to Gibraltar.

CAVALRY RROIN ENT& —The changes in the dif-
ferent cavalry regiments which are "under consideration"
are of a very startling character. They are the result of
the deliberations of a committee of officers, of which Sir T.
Brothertoo, Sir A. Clifton, Lords Lunn and Cardigen, Ge-
neral Lawrenson' and Sir William Russell were memben.
We understand that, among other changes, the present
Li ht Dragoon Begiments are all to be made either Hus-
sars or Lancers, and the three new regiments, the 19th,
10th, and 21st, will be Hawn. We shall wait with re-
needful patience for the MUMS which have induced these
experiseced °Moen to rearm:need what, in the absence of
such reasons, appears to us to be a very silly, or rather
misehievons and entirely ureelled.for rissengstment of the

Ptii;TOniD WM:Mr= Esteastrussrr.—The pro-
position whin bee been made to Loud Herbert, for the for
mation of au encampment upon Wanstead Ante (a portico
of Waltham Forest) io June, July, and August next, for
the toxemia and instruction of the newly fanned rifle corps
in London and its vicinity, is se follows :—" That a detach-
ment of the Royid Artillery, with a battery of field guns,
and a company of the Royal Engineer's, should be encamped
upon Waustead date during the months of June, July, sod
August, with a certain number of spure tents for the use of
the volunteers, a& that • general ofiloerr, with a staff, be
appointed to take the entire command and direction of all
volunteers of every description who may be desirous of
availing themselves of the optortunity of assembling there
for one or two nights in the week, and learning the iluttlg
pasting sentries, pickets, outposts, ea., which
would be able to do without inconvenience, a portion of them
returning to London in the day time to pursue their bushman
nem:attars. By these means much practical instruction
might be afforded the volunteer officers and men, without
any great cost to the country, as all they would require
would be the loan of the bare tents, all Masbate or straw
that' might be wanted being provided by the volunteers
themselves. The Eastern Counties Railway Company have
promised to carry all volunteers to and from the ground
(Forest-gate Sta:ion) at sixpence per head, for the double
journey, and which may be performed either way in about
15 minutes—UnitedB!retee Gazette.

We (Army and Navy Gazetb) understand that
oßeirs returning horn* from India, via the Cape, in chirp
at invalids, will be allowed to count as service in India the
three months following the date rit their departure hos that
