THE NAVY.

Yesterday the War Department transport Marl•
borough lefi, the Ordnance Wharf, Chatham, with
the main deck guns for the Irresistible, 68, 400-
horse power, consisting of 24 32-pounders, each of
56 cwt. The Irresistible is being fitted for Coast-
guard service at Southampton Water, relieving the
Dauntless.

An official notice has been posted at Chatham
dockyard gates that, by direction of the Admiralty,
the whole of the hired workmen and mechanics be-
longing to the establishment will be discharged on
the 31st inst. and re-entered at the dockyard on the
following day. This regulation, it appears, has
been adopted by the Admiralty in order to prevent
any question hereafter arising with respect to a
claim for superannuation.
The Bombay, 67, 2,782 tons, 400-horse power,
has been commissioned at Chatham by Captain
Colin A. Campbell (25th of March, 1863). She is
to have a compliment of 655 officers and men, in-
cluding Royal Marines. The Bombay is intended
for a flagship on the south-east coast of America.
The following is the number of hired mechanics,
artisans, and labourers at Chatham dockyard for
whom provision has been made in the Estimates
for 1864-65:—Shipwrights, 500; sawyers, 80;
joinerr, 60; painters, 30; other trades, 1,584—
total, 2,254.

, .
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Commander William Dawson,
to the Formidable, for service in the Achilles; Lieut.
W. H. M. Molyneux, to the Research ; Lieut. H.
A. Monteath, to the Defence; James G. G. Sim-
moods, paymaster, to the Blenheim; William G.
Parmeter, paymaster, additional, to the
Edwin Jago, paymaster, to the Cossack; Thomas
Brindley, engineer, Majestic;
to the Fiagard, for the Tortoise;
Horace H. Small, of the Phaeton, promoted to act-
ing first-class assist-engineer, and John Boise, as-

-. , '--. Jr. Z. The Volunteer Review on Esttl' Ma ' - - '4l"
The general outlines of the Volunteer 1.-evlitstrACE
be held near Guildford on Easter Mondatare tacky ',a
-
sufficiently well ataangen to be made public. From
the applications forwarded to the War-office it
would appear that at least 15,000 men are anxious
to take part in the day's proceedings, and that the
evolutions of the troops will be supported by 24
pieces of artillery. The field of action is rather
limited for such an imposing force, but it is believed
that the plan agreed upon will afford scope for them
to manoeuvre with effect; and, as far as the spec-
tators are concerned, the conflict will certainly be
brought much more nearly under their view than
on any of the previous enniversary displays of a
sirnilar character. As already stated, the troops
reaching Pairley-heath by different railway routes
from the metropolis will be kept distinct
during the day, and , massed in separate
divisions. Those travelling by the South Eastern
line to Shalford, having the shortest distance to
march before arriving upon the Common, will be
pushed en to its further extremity, and these,
facing about and fronting the quarter from which
they came, will represent the attacking force. The
volunteers using the South Western Railway, and
having to march some three or four miles from
Guildford, will, on the other hand, be compensated
by finding themselves in position almost as soon
as they emerge upon the Heath, where they will
assume a defensive attitude. So far matters are
settled. But the actual movements which the
Volunteers will be called on to undertake from th:a
point must be governed by what the officer in com-
mand finds to be practicable within a given time
after the Volunteers have assembled, and also by the
extent of the force at his disposal. The belief at '
present is that after some preliminary movements of
a strategic character on both sides, the left wing of
the attacking force will be detached and sent through
,the woods by a eircuitoukpath to fall on the right of
the -defending army, and'vtbat thellatter,ibreed by -
this assault to show an entirely new front, will be
gradually pressed back till it reaches the vicinity of
the Grand Stand, upon which as an impregnable
fortress it will halt and quietly proceed to march
past, an example commending itself to the approval
and adoption of its late opponent. Lieut.-General
Sir S. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., will command in
chief, and under his orders will be Mejor-General
Russell, C. 8., and Major-General Rnmley, each hav-
ing charge of a division. There are to be eight bri-
gades in all under the following brigadiers—Lord
Colville, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Elcho, Earl Gros-
venor, Lord Radstock, Lord Bury, Lieut.-Colonel
Bigge, and Lieut.-Colonel Loyd Lindsay. The ar-
tillery force will be handled at one side by Colonel
Gambier, C,8., and at the other by Col. Buchanan.
Of the 24 pieces of artillery to be brought into the
field six 18-pounders will be contributed from
Brighton; the rest, consisting of six 6-pounders,
eight 18-pounders, and four 24-pounders, will be
furnished by the Hon. Artillery Company and by
the regiments of Middlesex Artillery. The public
are to have a means of approach distinct from that
allotted to the Volunteers. The latter will take
possession of a row known as Phillip's-lane, leading
from Shalford-common, where the brigades are to
be formed on the arrival of the different corps.
Sample Oak-lane, running direct from the Chilwort h
station to the Heath, will be reserved for the public,
and the position of the spectators will enable them,
on arriving upon the ground, not only to command
a favourable view of the day's manoeuvres, but to
approach very close to Phillip's-lane, the route along
which the Volunteers must move from and to the
stations either of the South-Eastern or South-West-
ern Railway. The Grand Statd occupies a promi•
nent position upon an eminence known as Roast
Meat-hill, and facing this it is proposed to erect
capacious refreshment booths. This is the depart-
ment in which at present there appears to be greatest
need for organisation, and for the credit and com-
fort of all concerned the interval remaining before
Easter Monday ought to be turned to good account.

Two WHO WERE NEARLY DRAGGED INTO A DUEL
RY A—" LADIES' CHAIN !"—Much amusement has
beeen excited at Brussels at the idea of a kind of duel which
was nearly
taking place at Ghent between two ladies of
that place. The husband of Madame de S. belongs to the
clerical party, while the other lady, Madame de M., is
married to a Liberal. These two ladies being at a ball, it
so chanced that the former had to stand opposite the latter
in a cotillon, which she would only consent to do on
condition that she should not give her hand to her ad-
versary, and she was therefore to be seen going through
all the figures in which she ought to have joined hands
with her arms folded. The affair caused a considerable
sensation. Oa the following day M. de S. called on M. de
M. to make an apology for the conduct of his wife, when
he received for answer that the matter did not concern him
(M. do M.). and that Madame de S. ought to sopd her
seconds to his wife to arrange the affair. That was done,
and the emissaries were told that the insult having been
public, the reparation should be so likewise. Negotiations
were however entered into, and a decision was at length
come to that at a party at which the ladies were shortly to
meet, Madame de S. should personally apologise to Madame
de M,, which was done, and honour was declared to be
satisfied.

[AnvErtrsEur.NT.]—Source of Strength.—No deep
philosophy is wanted to prow that health and vigour
depend upon the purity of the blood ; yet how few act upon
this truth compared with the many who neglect them-
selves, and lay the foundations of the most formidable com-
plaints, when a few doses of those Pills would give them
coistant comfort and future health. Holloway's is no
palliative treatment, but the most searching and funda-
mental means of redressing all wrongs in the stomach,
liver, kidneys, and throughout the circulatory and nervous
system. Holloway s Pills are most admirably adapted for
a family medicine, since the most youthful, delicate, and
susceptible may fearlessly take them whon:more violent
measures would be highly dangerous,

BONNET'S SILKS a LYON.—Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or
manufacturer, and the more perfect the production the
greater is the credit which attaches to the originator.
BONNET'S SILKS are said to be incapable of identifica-
tion in England ; but the fallacy of such an assertion is ex-
pos dby the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by
Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.
