Naval and Military Intelligence.

The hired sailing transport Hornet, temporarily com-
manded by Lieut. Walter Stewart, of her Majesty's screw
corvette Encounter, arrived at Spithead on Saturday, from
Madras and St, Helena, with the left wing of the 74th
Highlanders on board and detachments of time-expired
men and invalids from various regiments serving in the
Madras Presidency. The Hornet sailed from Madras on
the Bth of March and from St. Ilelena on the Ist of June.
The troops on board consist of the left wing 74th High-
landers—Capts. W. S. Thackeray, C, H. Thompson, and
W. S. Hunt—Lieuts. Rolleston, Bradley, Dougherty, Wal-
lace, and Daryall—Ensigns A. J. Campbell and Sir A. A •

nellat-hall, and 63 invalids. At
3 p.m. yesterday the Hornet sailed again from Spithead
with the troops still on board for Gravesend, where they
will disembark, the left wing of the 74th proceeding thence
to Edinburgh, the time-expired men to the depots of their
respective regiments, and the invalids retracing their course
westward to the Royal Victoria Military Hospital in South-
ampton Water. The invalids could have been transferred
from the ship when at Spithead Netley, but it was under-
stood that the terms of the charter party provided only for
the disembarkation of the men at Gravesend. The owner of
the Hornet stands by those terns, and the Horse Guards
authorities must therefore sutrait and provide railway
transport for the men from Gravesend to Netley.
The Bacchante, screw feigate, 39 guns, Capt. Donald M.
L. Mackenzie, arrived at Spithead on Thursday, about 2
p.m. from the Pacific. She wiles; fro
nu Valparaiso on the
evening of the 14th of April, with a freight of 125,000d015.
on board for Rio Janeiro. At Valparaiso were her Majesty's
ships Leander, bearing the broad pennant of Commodore
Harvey, and Alert, Commander Majendie—light southerly
winds and calms were experienced after leaving Valparaiso
until the 26th. The vessel made very little progress, hav-
ing at that date only reached lat. 36.57 S. ; long. 84.24 W.
Beyond this point strong northerly and westerly winds were
fallen in with and continued until Cape Horn was rounded
on the afternoon of the sth May. The Falkland Islands
were passed on the 9th May, fresh westerly winds prevail-
ing. On the 10th May the ship was under double-reefed
sa

repaired and sent up again, but on the same day the c o

On knots,
the 14th it had been when the main yard
star-
board cutter was carried away in a heavy roll of the sea.
From the 16th of May to the 22d the wind was very light.
On the 22d of May there was a calm, and steam was got up
in two boilers. At noon on the 25th the vessel anchored in
the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, and found at anchor there her
Majesty's ships Egmont, Curlew, Stromboli, and Industry.
Two deaths occurred on the voyage from Valparaiso to Rio
—Henry Harris, private Royal Marine Light Infantry, re-
ceived from her Majesty's ship Nereus, and Wm. Harford,
gunner of the Royal Marine Artillery, serving on board the
ship. The Bacchante having discharged her freight and
received on board naval invalids from her Majesty's ships
on the station, sailed from Rio anchorage for England on
the Ist of June, under steam with two boilers in use, escort-
ing the British ship Sophy out to sea until 20 miles S.S.E.
of the bay. Then the Sophy, in obedience to a signal from
the Bacchante, cast off the warps of her towing tug, and
stood out to sea under her canvas, a Federal man of war
steamer being reported at the same time to be in eight and
in pursuit. The Bacchante crossed the equator on the 15th
June, in long. 30 W., and the Tropic of Cancer on the 26th
June in long. 42.35 W. Vice Admiral Sir M. Seymour,
G.C.8., embarked on board the Fire Queen steam yacht,
Staff Commander Paul, on Saturday, and proceeding out to
Spithead inspected the Bacchante. The vessel after her
inspection weighed anchor and steamed into Portsmouth
harbour to dismantle and pay out of commission. •
The Royal Sovereign, 5, iron-cased turreteship, Capt.
Sherard Osborn, C. 8., was officially inspected in Ports-
mouth harbour, on commission, by Vice-Admiral Sir M.
Seymour, G.C.8., Naval Commander-in-Chief at Ports-
mouth. She will go out of Portsmouth harbour this morn-
ing, and, according to pre-existing arrangements, proceed
to off Osborne, where her Majesty's has announced her in-
tention of paying a visit to the ship. On Tuesday, most
probably, the Royal Sovereign will anchor in St. Helen's-
roads, preparatory to commencing her trial cruise.
A field-day of peculiar interest took place on Friday, at
Woolwich, in which the regular troops in garrison and the
Kentish Volunteers were combined. About 25,000 or 30,000
spectators were calculated to have been present. By a most
judicious arrangement the flagstaff was transferred from the
eastern to the western side of the common. Tho space at
the rear, being well sheltered with trees, was appointed by
Gan. Warde as the reserved position for private carriages
and persons admitted by tickets of reserve. Tho corps of
Volunteers from different parts of the country commenced
forming in the Royal Arsenal soon after one o'clock. The
whole of the interior of the common and barrack-field were
kept clear of spectators, and the roads leading thence were
closed at 2 o'clock p.m. The proceedings commenced at 3
o'clock on the arrival of Viscount Sydney, lord-lieut. of the
county, who was received on the ground by Major-Gen.
Warde, C. 8., commanded the garrison, attended by his Per-
sonaLstaff, There were also present Col. M'Murdo, Inspector
of Volunteers; Lieut. •Col. Thorold s Brigadier and A,D.C.
Lieut. Hudson,2Bth Kent RifieVolunteere ; Lieut.-Col. Vis-
count Hardinge, Brigadier; Lieut.-Col. Sir E. Campbell,
Assist.-Inspector of Volunteers; Anderson,
Lieut.-Col. Ellis, Lieut.-Col. Parkyn, and other mounted
officers. Those to whom had been awarded the prize won
at the Volunteer contest at Gravesend having been ranged
in front of the General and Staff, Viscount Sydney addressed
them, and informed them that he was glad to find there was
no diminution in their numbers. They had been compli-
mented, he said, by General Hay, and their firing had been
good. He had formerly delivered the prizes himself, but
on this occasion he bad asked Lady Sydney to perform that
part. The names were then called over, and each one re-
ceived his prize. The recipients then took their places in
their various battalions, The General and attendant offi-
cers shortly afterwards proceeded to the front, and ware re-
ceived with a general salute ; after which he inspected the
troops, who were ranged in the following order :—The
Royal Horse Artillery, in
command of Col. E. Price, C. 8.,
B Brigade, on the right of area
at right angles to the lines;
the Royal Marine Light Infantry, in command of Lieut.-
Marriott, on the right of the line in quarter-distance
column, right in front, with their right resting en the left
of the Royal Horse Artillery—the different corps of Volun-
teers in a line of contiguous quarter-distance columns on
the left of the Royal Marines, the Ist brigade consisting of
the Ist administrative battalion, Blackheath-2d ditto,
Penshurst-3d ditto, Maidstone-4th and sth Canterbury
and Cranbrooke, in command of Lieut. Col. Thorold—and
the 2d brigade comprising the
26th Royal Arsenal (two
battalions), Woolwich, Ist administrative brigade Graves.
end, and 10111 and 14th Arsenal and Dockyard brigades of
Artillery, in command of Lieut. Col. Hardinge. Four
field batteries, in command of Colonel J. H. Smyth, C. 8.,
formed on the left of the infantry at right angles, and two
40-pounder batteries, in command of Lieut. Col. Austen,
in line in the rear. The ground was well kept by a detach-
ment of the Royal Artillery, in command of Col. the Hon.
G. T. Devereux, &&A, and Capt. Webb, Royal Marines,
assisted by a large body of the local and metropolitan
police in charge of Inspector Linvell, and under the spe-
cial• superintendence of Mr llall alien. The weather was
very fine dating the review, and the whole want off with- I
out accident of any kind. shortly before four o'clock the
troops commenced marching past in quick time, the Royal
Horse Artillery and
field batteries in open columns
of batteries at half interval, and the infantry in
open column of companies. The bands of Volunteer
corps marched past at the head of their corps, but did not
play. The bands of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines
formed up in. front of the flagstaff and played during the
marching past. After marching past the force divided into
two corps, and carried out the. attack and defence of an in-
trenched camp. The attacking force force formed on the
top of the common under cover of. the heavy batteries. The
supposed to be posit
defending body, eupp ion in front of their
intrenchreents, were drawn up in front of the Ha-ha sepa•
rating the common from the barrack field. Soon after 4
o'clock a rocket was fired to announce
the commencement
of the attack. Operations immediately commenced by the
defenders shelling

guns were discharged in
on 'which the de-
fenders advanced,
heavy
supported by Horse Artillery and 2.0-vered
vered by skirmishers. In the meantime the enemy de-
ployed, throwing out skirmishers to check the advance. The
defenders having advanced, deployed, skirmishers were re •
called on both sides, and a heavy fire
opened from both
lines. The defenders retired slowly, covered by skirmishers,
the enemy advancing supported by field artillery. A stand
was then made at the Ha-ha, over which the defenders re-
tired, throwing bridges across to do so. The enemy still
advanced, but was laying down bridges for himself (the de-
fenders having removed theirs and retired into their in-
trenehments) and was met by a heavy fire from the works,
which prevented an assault and compelled him to retire.
The defenders pursued. The troops then formed on the
original ground, advanced in line and broke off in divisions
from the field about half-past 6. The marching past of the
various corps of volunteers, and many of their movements,
were highly applauded. It was remarked during the mul-
tiplicity of artillery and infantry manoeuvres commanded
throughout byMajor-General Ward; the newly-appointed
commander of the garrison, that although an officer of the
Royal Horse Artillery his experience perfectly qualified
him for the command of the infantry, the movements of
which ho directed with equal facility and judgment. After
the review the General entertained a numerous party of
guests at the Royal Artillery mess, including Viscount
Sydney, Viscount Hardinge, and the officers commanding,
Sir Shafto Adair, and many others,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST,

The report of the directors of this company states that
the amout of capital raised to the 30th of June, 1863, is
£12,094,099. The amount of capital expended during the
half-year is £389,082. The opening of new branches and
the approaching requirements for the South London lines
have necessitated an increase in the plant ; the directors
are making the necessary preparations, as the successful
working of the railway depends chiefly on the pos-
session of an adequate stock of engines and vehicles. The
high price of money has checked applications for de-
benture stock ; still a further sum of £24,023 has been
issued during the past half year. The gross revenue has
been £466,301, showing an increase 0f:£3,486 over the cor-
responding half-year. The traffic is still subject to the natural
effect of the large reduction of fares and rates made the Ist
of August, 1863, but the expectations of the directors have
already to some extent been realised, as the traffic is con-
tinually increasing, and there is no cause to doubt that the
returns after the Ist August next will contrast favourably.
The total traffic receipts for the half year ending June 30,
amounted to £451,461 against £445,610 for the correspond-
ing half of 1863, showing an increase of £5,844. The total
working expenses and renewals amounted to £220,273 or
48i per cent. against £224,394 or 60 1.3 d per cent. for the
corresponding period, showing a decrease of £4,121 in the
expenditure, although there was an increase in the mileage
of 201,104 miles run by the trains. The renewals for the
past half year amounted to £7,507, and the corresponding
half of last year to £9,258. The cost of working per train
mile was 2s 61d against 2s 111 d in the corresponding half of
1863. The lines promoted by the South Eastern Railway
Company affecting the interests of this company were with-
drawn, satisfactory arrangements made with that company
as regards the traffic from Tunbridge-wells to Eastbourne,
and all questions at variance adjusted—the directors believe
this will prevent any future collision, and thus strengthen
the friendly relations of the two companies. The directors
have succeeded in obtaining powers for a direct access to
the suburban lines from Peckham across the Dulwich Col-
lege estate. These powers will enable the company so com-
pletely to accommodate the whole of their district that it is
hoped further important extensions may not be required for
some time. The branch lines to Bognor and to Seaford were
opened for public traffic on the Ist of June. The opening
of the South London line will be somewhat retarded by the
widening of the Greenwich viaduct; but the works will be
pushed on with rapidity. The net amount at the credit of
the revenue account is £122,603, out of which the directors
recommend the payment of a dividend of 21 per cent. for
the half year, leaving a balante of £428.

COCKERMOUTH, KESWICK, AND PENRITH,
The directors of this company had made arrangements for
opening the line on the Ist of August, but the Government
inspector required heavier " chairs" to be laid at the ends
of the rails than those used. The inspector was commu-
nicated with, and a reply has been received, stating that
although he will insist on heavier chairs being substituted,
yet, if all else is satisfactory, he will be willing to sanction
the opening of the line for passenger traffic.' It appears the
directors have ordered the heavier chairs, and will substi-
tute them gradually, so that the opening of the line will not,
it is expected, be delayed beyond the middle of August.
