Naval and Military Intelligence.

the period of her sale out of the service was attached to
the Chatham steam reserve ordinary, was completed a few
days since, and the result of the protracted inquiry, which
has been conducted by the Government throughout in
the most rigid and searching manner, was announced at
Chatham yesterday. It is satisfactory to find that none
of the officials connected with Chatham dockyard were in
the remotest degree connected with the illegal proceedings,
and were in no respect implicated with the movements
of that vessel after she had ceased to be a Government
ship. It has been ascertained, however, that certain officials
at Sheerness dockyard have been guilty of a gross neglect of
duty, and at the same time have committed an unwarrant-
able violation of the neutrality laws. The Government have
accordingly decided on prosecuting the principal offender,
who, as already reported in The Sun, is one of the chief offi-
cers in the dockyard, for the leading part it has been ascer-
tained he took in the equipment and subsequent departure
of the Rappahannock from the Nore. Accordingly Mr.
Knight, of the firm of Essell, Knight, and Arnold, solici-
tors, Rochester, the agents of the Solicitor to the Treasury,
yesterday applied to the magistrates for a warrant for the
apprehension of Mr Wm. Rumble, principal engineer and
inspector of machinery afloat, who is charged with a viola-
tion of the Foreign Enlistment Act (59 Geo. 111., cap. 69),
hiring, and attempting to hire, certain seamen for the Con-
federate steamship Rappahannock; and also for assisting
and aiding in equipping that vessel. The warrants were
granted and at once executed, the accused being taken into
custody, but afterwards liberated on heavy bail. No pro-
ceedings have yet been ordered against any of the other
officials, nor against the Government pilot who piloted the
Rappahannock from the Nore.

The Lords of the Admiralty have directed that, with the
view of distinguishing the ammunition of rifled guns from
that for smooth-bore guns at night on board her Majesty's
ships, the handles of the leather cartridge. cases used with
rifled guns for naval service are to have a seizing on them.

On Thursday 60 convicts were removed from the convict
prison at Chatham to the Nore by the Wildfire, paddle-

on Government works.

announce the arrival there of the Ist battalion 20th Regi-
ment, ou board three transports from Portsmouth, without
a single death or casualty on board either of the transports

barked in other transports and sent on to Japan.
A notification has been received at Chatham garrison from
the War-office, announcing that the authorities, on the re-
commendation of the Ordnance Select Committee, have ap-
proved an arrangement for the more complete shelter of
markers at rifle practice, the invention of Capt. T. F.Bland,
76th Regiment, and which is to be gradually introduced
into the service. The marker is concealed in a pit facing
the target, which he sees through a horizontal slit near the
roof. He is provided with the means of setting a wooden
disc, so as exactly to cover the point struck, as seen from
the firing party, and thus is not required to come out from
cover.
