Lieut. I. W. Buckle and C. S. Graham, belong-
itig to the Ist division of the Depot Brigade, Royal
Artillery, have been selected by the Duke of Cam-
bridge for attachment to field-batteries, for a course
of instruction in mounted duties previously to em.
barking with draughts for India. Lieut. Buckle
has been directed to proceed to Athlone, for duty
with B Battery, Bth Brigade, and Lieut. Graham
will proceed on the Ist of April to Hilsea, for duty
with B Battery, 9th Brigade.

The first divisional field day of the present sea-
son took place at Aldershott on Friday, and was
marked by a series of most brilliant and well-exe.
cuted manceavres. At half-past 10 o'clock the
brigades, under the command of their respective
generale, were formed up on Claycart Ridge in line
of contiguous columns, and after inspection by the
Lieut.-General commanding, were marched on to
Eelmoor and Burns's plain. The troops were then
disposed in order of battle, and the movements of
the day commenced. The 13th Hussars, under
command of Col. Jonyns, C. 8., advanced in line,
covered by skirmishers. At the same time the
Carabineers and Royal Dragoons formed line,
advanced from the right, changed position to the
left, again advanced in echelon, changed position
to the right, and halted in line, the 13th forming

line in rear of their centre. These movements were
supported by D Battery Royal Horse Artillery,
with a half battery on either flank, and while they
were in progress the infantry passed through the
ravine, and the Ist Brigade advanced in line, and
the 2d in quarter distance column on the left, with
two companies of the 2d Battalion 6th Rifles in
skirmishing order protecting that flank. The 3d
Brigade advanced in line of contiguous columns to
the right rear of the Ist, halted, and formed line.
The cavalry took ground to the left, cleared the
front of the infantry, and manoeuvred on the left
front. The 2d Brigade formed line, and the whole
of the infantry advanced in three lines with a bat-
tery of field artillery on the flanks of the advanced
brigade. The Ist Brigade next formed open column
of companies, and the 3d Brigade quarter distance
column on the 31 Buffs. The 2d Brigade formed
open column, right in front, and the Cavalry Brigade
line in front of the infantry, retiring in echelon by
wings of regiments from the right. This was a
beautiful movement. The cavalry having cleared
the line of infantry, the Rifles advanced in skirmish-
ing order covering the 2d Brigadc, which advanced
in line into the Long Valley, and halted. The 3d
Brigade then advanced on the right, in open columns
of companies, halted, and formed line to the left.
The cavalry advanced on the left in line, by regi.
rants at wheeling distance, and retired by sections
of threes from the right of squadrons. This ended
the evolutions of the day, and after marching past
the troops filed off to their respective quarters.

Spring drill has been commenced at the camp at
Colchester. The new cavalry barracks will pro-
bably be occupied by troops towards the end of
April or the commencement of May. It is not
unlikely that they will be previously inspected by
the Commander-in-Chief. Dr. Fraser, Deputy-
Inspector-General of Hospitals, will shortly leave
the camp for Ceylon: Lieut. Leeds, Coast Brigade,
Royal Artillery, has proceeded to join the head-
quarters of his corps at Woolwich, on being relieved.
by Lieut. M‘Murray, from Alderney.
The two 70-pounder Whitworth guns intended to
be used in the forthcoming official trial at Sheebnry-
ness between Sir William Armstrong and Mr. Whit-
worth, were yesterday fired at the proof butt in,
Woolwich Arsenal. The first two rounds were fired

with charges consisting of 101 b. of powder, and a
cylinder, equal to two service shots—namely, 1401 b.
weight each. A series of three rounds then com-
menced with a cylinder weighing 701 b,, and a charge
of powder one-sixth of that weight, namely, 111 b.
10oz. One of the guns was found to hold fire at the
first round, and on examination the vent was found
choked with a. hard cakey substance, supposed to
have collected in consequence of the confined diame-
ter of the passage, which it is suggested should be
slightly enlarged. A telegram was accordingly
despatched to Mr. Whitworth to that effect. The
result of the proof was otherwise satisfactory.

THE PRIDE OF CANADA.—The Board of Trade
inquiry into the conduct of Captain Thornton and his first
mate terminated at Liverpool yesterday. Captain Thornton
was censored, and the certificate of the first either was sus-
pended sine die.
