Naval and Military Intelligence,

The Admiralty paddlewheel yacht Enchantress, Staff-
Commander John E. Pettey, having on board the Lords of
the Admiralty—the Duke of Somerset, K.G., Vice-Admiral
Sir Frederick Grey, Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson (Con-
troller of the Navy), Rear Admiral J. It. Drummond, and
Mr Childers, M.P., accompanied by Capt. Robert Hall,
Private Secretary to the Duke of Somerset, and Major
Clarke, R.E., Admiralty director of engineering works, and
other officials, arrived at Sheerness, on their annual visit of
inspection on Sunday evening, when the customary salutes
were exchanged. On Monday morning, previously to their
Lordships landing at the dockyard, Admiral Drummond
proceeded to the Cumberland, Capt. W. K. Hall, guardship
of the steam reserve, where ho mustered and inspected the
men and officers of the steam reserve. He also went on
board the Devonshire, where he investigated the arrange-
ments made in that vessel for the instruction of engineers.
The gallant Admiral likewise visited the Arethusa, 39, screw
frigate, 500 horse power, which is only waiting Admiralty
orders for the pennant, as she has been fully rigged and fitted
in the first class steam reserve for some time. At 11 a.m.
their Lordships landed at the dockyard, and were received
by the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot,
K.C.B. ; Capt. Sup. C. Wise, Aide-de-camp to the Queen ;
Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8.; Capt. Fulford, Col. Reddell, C.B,
commandant of the garrison ; Mr W. Rumble, inspector of
machinery afloat; kilr Moody, master shipwright; and the
heads of departments. They were saluted by a detachment
of Royal Artillery from the guns on the Camber. On land-
ing their Lordships proceeded to the office of the Capt. Su-
perintendent and transacted business, then visited the
working boathouse and boatshed. Thence they proceeded
to and minutely inspected the Warrior target, which has
recently been towed into the basin from Shoeburyness,
after having been literally knocked to pieces by the Arm-
strong 600-pounder steel shot. Their Lordships next visited
the North Star, 22, steam corvette, for the purpose of ascer-
taining the propriety of converting this partially-built ship
into an ironclad. The new well was next visited ; this
has recently been successfully finished, notwithstanding
numerous difficulties which have arisen from the treacher-
ous nature of the various strata through which it has been
bored by Mr Thomas Tilley, of Enfield. The engines were at
work during the inspection and their Lordships expressed
their satisfaction with the works. In the course of their
tour their Lordships visited the new steam meeting sheers,
which have recently been erected for the purpose of roasting
vessels, and which were, at the time, employed in raisins
the mainmast of the Bristol, screw steam frigate, which
is fitting for the first division of the steam reserve. While
visiting the steam factory they inspected a most ingenious
apparatus recently constructed from plans made by Mr J.
Parker, one of the foremen of the factory, for the purpose
of slitting copper pipes, and which they approved. Having
completed the inspection of the factory, they lunched at the
official residence of the Capt.-Superintendent of the yard.
After luncheon they minutely inspected the proposed altera-
tions and improvements in the steam reserve department in
the yard, visited the naval barracks, mustered and inspected
the seamen and marines, and witnessed the working of the
gunboats which have been fitted as fire. engines. Afterwards
they proceeded in the Wildfire, Master-Commander Brock-
man, to the Research, 4, screw iron-cased ship, Captain A.
Wilmshurst. It has been undergoing several necessary al-
terations in the portablepbulwarks for allowing the battery
guns to be fired either ahead or astern, a new plan of hinged
bulwarks having been adopted by which they can be opened
outwards on the vessel being cleared for action, and are so
placed that they will prevent the smoke from the guns rolling
inboard. Additional space has also been obtained in mid-ship
battery for working the guns by the removal of the funnel
case and funnel. Several minor alterations have also been
made to the engines of the vessel since her late experimental
cruise, which together it is believed will render the vessel
much more effective. On their Lordships' arrival at the
Research, which had been removed from the harbour to the
Little Nore, they proceeded to inspect the vessel. when the
efficiency of the alterations were severely tested by firing
from the 100-pounder guns several broadsides with reduced
charges. Several rounds were also fired from the fore and
aft guns, with both reduced and full charges. The results
of the firing were most satisfactory, the concussions being
almost imperceptible. At the conclusion of these experi-
ments the Research steamed into the harbour at full speed
to try her machinery. The result of this trial was also
most satisfactory. On arriving in the harbour at about
7 30 p.m- their Lordships at once proceeded to the Admi-
ralty-house to dine with the Commander-in- Chief, Vice-
Admiral Sir Charles Talbot, K.C.B. The principal officers
of the navy and army at Sheerness had the honour of invi-
tations to dinner. Their Lordships left Sheerness in the
Enchantress, on Tuesday morning, for Chatham, where
they arrived on their annual tour of inspection of the Dock-
yard, the Government extension works, and the naval
establishments at that port. The members of the board com-
prised the Duke of Somerset ; Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir F.
W. Grey,; Rear-Admiral the Hon. J. R. Drummond, and
Mr H. C. E. Childers, M.P. ; Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson,
Controller of the Navy ; Capt. R. Hall, private secretary to
the Duke of Somerset; Major Clarke, Director of Admiralty
Engineering Works; Mr Mallalieu, Chief Superintendent of
the several Dockyard Police Forces, and Mr Spalding.
Lord Clarence Paget, Chief Secretary, and Mr. E. L. Reed,
Chief Constructor of the Navy, were both detained at the
Admiralty on important business, which prevented their
joining the Board. The Admiralty paddle-wheel steam-

officials at the dockyard pier, steamed out of the harbour
to meet their lordships, who commenced the duties of the
day by the inspection of the iron-clad frigate Achilles, 20,
6,121 tons, 1,250-horse power, which is moored a short dis-
tance out in the harbour below the Dockyard, On pro-
ceeding on board the members of the Board were received
by Captain Vansittart, and by him conducted over the
variout portions of the frigate. Only a comparative small
amount of work, and that chiefly in the way of fittings,
now remains to be effected on board, and there appears to
be every probability that the Achilles will be completed
and ready to leave Chatham in the course of next month.
Owing to the length of time she has been lying in the har-
bour—a period of about nine months—her bottom has be-

removal to Portsmouth for that purpose. After spending
about an hour on board the Achilles, Mr. Childers and
the other members of the Boara engaged in the inspection
re-embarked in the Enchantress with the intention of pay-
ing a visit to St. Mary's Island, for the purpose of in-
specting the extensive works now in progress for convert-
ing the whole of the island, comprising an area of
upwards of 300 acres, or rather more than three times
the space cccupied by the existing dockyard, into basins,
graving docks, building slips, &c., to meet the growing
requirements of Chatham dockyard as an iron shipbuild-
ing establishment. To enable their lordships to land a
, platform had been erected from the island running out to
tb.o sea wall, but in consequence of the boisterous state of

the weather, and a strong gale blowing from the northward
with the rain falling in torrents, the attempt to disembark
were found to be impracticable, and their Lordships con-
tented themselves with steaming round the western and
northern shore of the
.island, from whi7.h a pretty correct
view of the works in progress could be obtained. These in-
clude the formation of three extensive steam fitting basins,
the whole covering an area of between 90 and 100 acres,
with a mean depth of water of 30 feet. Communicating
with the basins will be, according to the plan at present
proposed, at least six graving docks, each not less than 400
feet in length, and of corresponding breadth, and all capable
of recei ring the largest vessels of the navy, with the whole
of their guns, stores, &c., on board—a condition which not
one of the existing docks at Chatham now fulfils. There
will also be the usual factories and buildings for carrying on
the construction of iron vessels of war. The first of the
basins, which covers an area of between 20 and 30 acres, is
expected to be completed in about a year. After satisfying
themselves of the progress made in the extensive works,
their Lordships steamed up to the dockyard, and landed at
the Queen's Stairs shortly before 11 a.m., where they were
received by the heads of departments and all the principal
officials of the establishment. After landing the Duke of
Somerset, with the other members of the Board, attended
by Mr Thornton, Mr Moore, and Mr Hutchens, master
shipbuilders, and the other officials, commenced their tour
of inspection of the squadron of iron and wooden vessels in
progress. The latter description of vessels may be dis-
missed with a few passing remarks, as of all the wooden
line-of-battle and other wooden ships now on the
stocks at Chatham not a single hand has been employed
on either for a period to be reckoned by years, and in
the present transition state of the navy the Admiralty
appear to be altogether undecided as to the ultimate
destiny of what were deemed in their day the splendid
line of battle and other ships which have lain so lepg idle
on the building slips. The only exception appears fb be in
the case of the Reindeer, 17-gun screw corvette. which ac-
cording to present intention is to be at once taken in hand
and completed for launching, although nic,
particular service
for which she is intended is not stated, Their Lordships
made a minute survey of the Bellerophon ironclad frigate,
and from frequent observations which fell from the leading
members of the Board, it was evident they appeared tho-
roughly satisfied with the progress made with the ship.
They at the same time expressed the Wiest confidence in
her designer. After leaving the Bellerophon, a hasty visit
was paid to the Cadmus. 21, and the Torch, 5, both of
which are in dock fitting, and passing the wooden vessels
on the several slips their Lordships reached the Lord War-
den, building at the extreme end of the yard. This frigate
has been rather more than eight months in hand, and will

nessed the operations of the tilt and other steam hammers
for converting the shattered armour plates of the Lord
Warden target and adapting them for the general service of
the establishment. Their Lordships having lunched at
the official residence of Captain Stewart, visited the ropery
and inspected the new spinning and other machinery.
They next proceeded on foot to Melville naval hospital,
over which they were conducted by Dr. Kinnear, the
principal medical offieer. In the course of their visit they
inspected the plans of the proposed buildings for a
smoking-room for the patients, as well as a strong room,
both of which works will be carried out, Some time was
also spent by their Lordships in considering the proposed
plans for removing a most dangerous hill adjoining the
hospital, called Barrack-hill, in which accidents of a more
or less serious character are constantly occurring. The
plans suggested to their lordships—which are approved by
the Board of Health—proposed the removal of one of the
two roads hailing to the dockyard, and by throwing them
into one and lessening the hill, it is considered that the
numerous accidents caused by the present roads will be
altogether prevented. After completing their inspection of
the plass, &c., for the proposed work, the members of the
Board visited and examined the Royal Marine barracks,
and the additional wing recently completed, together with
the new officers' quarters, At the close of the inspection,
Admiral Drummond left his colleagues, and pi seceded to
the Admiralty, and their lordships afterwards went on board
the Enchantress, where they gave a dinner party. They
will resume their inspection this morning.

miralty :—Lieut. Claude E. Buckle to be Flag Lieut. to

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

YORK AUGUST MEETING,-TUESDAV.

It is on the Stand at Knavestairo that one meets a few
members of the scattered hosts of the fashionable world, as
well as the well• known faces of the leading patrons of the
turf, not seen since the meeting a% Goodwood.
York from its position will always command an attend..
ance of " the upper ten" not granted to minor provincials,
if it had not stronger claims in the chsracter of the sport it
affords. After the wretched exhibition of plating we have
assisted at for this last two or three Notice, it is a relief to
turn to the well-filled broadsheet that Mr Johnson issues,
confident of finding something to repaf us for the trouble
and expense of a northern journey. T,-day 12 events on
the card necessitated commencing at me o'clock, the Zet-
land being first on the list, with Marigdd and Little Stag
as competitors. Lord St. Vincent's gorse has lost his
spring form, and exhibited none of that free bounding
action that marked him at Chester and on this course
last hlay. He was defeated easily by the mare. Clarior,

After several failures they left the post in close company,
the favourite on the inside, having a slight lead, fo►lowed
by Loafer and Chelmsford in the centre, with Ostentation
on the outside, to the distance, where Loafer gave way to
Brown Willey, who challenged My Fancy at the Stand,
but was beaten very easily by two lengths; a length be-
tween the second and third, the Damsel filly finished a bad
fourth, Richmond Lass fifth, Ostentation sixth, Chelms-

On settling into their places Kapunda on the inside took
a decided lead, followed by Stirrup Cup, Brindisi, New-
church, and Bandarilla, the favourite, in company with
The Principal, lying some lengths in the rear. As they
fairly rounded the bend Kapunda gave way to Stirrup
Cup, who came on with a slight advantage to the distance,
when he was headed by Brindisi and Bandarilla, the pair
being joined on crossing the last road by Echo,. who took
a decided lead as they neared the enclosure and won in a
canter by a length. There were three lengths between the
second and third; Kapunda, who finikhed a bad fourth,
was placed by the judge; Stirrup Cup was fifth, the
Principal sixth, and Lyra next,

Immediately the flag was lowered Furze Chat, lying in the
centre, was the first away, and made play at a strong pace,
having Gontran next the rails, Zambesi and Wild Agnes
as her immediate followers to half way in the distance,
where she was beaten. The leaders were then joined by
Olmar, who, on reaching the stand, took a slight lead and
won cleverly by two lengths—two lengths separated the se-

Lady of Coverham, with Queen of Tramps, Tooi Tool,
and Light in close attendance, made the running to the
bend into the straight, where the former declined,
and was followed in a few strides after by Tooi Tooi,
which left Light in possession of a slight lead,
of Linda and Queen of Trumps, close up with whom were
Miss Pickle and Gondola, who ran in company to the en-
closure, where the last named headed Light, and won, after
a fine finish by a short head ; a length and a half separated
the second and third horses. Queen of Trumps finished a
good fourth, a neck each only dividing her, Linda, and
Lady cf Coverham. Alice Faucunberg and Tooi-tooi were
