CAVALRY REVIEW IN THE PHCENIX PARIL—His
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge reviewed, on
Thursday, in the Fifteen Acres, the cavalry quartered
in this garrison, viz., the Ist Dragoon Guards, 4th
(Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards, 11th Hussars, with the
Artillery. The troops were on the grounds shortly
before twelve o'clock, and the review did not terminate
till two. The different regiments went through their
several evolutions in a manner that elicited the marked
approval of his Royal Highness, who expressed himself
highly pleased with their soldier-like bearing and dis-
cipline. We regret that an accident occurred to two of
the Artillery, both being thrown from their horses with
such force as to cause one to have his arm broken, and
another his shoulder dislocated.

At the inspection of the 3d Dragoon Guards, under
Lieut.-Colonel Arthur, on Tuesday, by the Duke of
Cambridge, the Prince minutely examined into every
department of the corps, and in his view of the riding-
house ho pointed out sumo improvements to the engineer,
Captain Graves, who concurred with his Royal High-
ness, and felt satisfied his suggestions would be carried
out.

A monument was recently erected in the aisle of St.
Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, commemorative of the death
of Lieut. Tomlinson, of the 18th Royal Irish. The offi-
cers and men of this gallant corps, in order to commemo-
rate their esteem for the gallant colonel who fell in
action, entered into a subscription to raise a monument
to his memory in an Irish cathedral. This beautiful
memorial, executed by Mr. Farrell, the Dublin artist,
represents Lieut. Tomlinson in his last moments, at-
tended by officers, bandsmen, and rank grouped in ex-
quisite harmony.—Limerick Chronicle.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 18.

The Termagant, 24, screw frigate, Captain Giffard,
steamed out to Spithead this morning, and saluted the
Port Admiral. She is ready now for service, and, it is
said, will be sent fora month's trial in the Channel.

A. private letter from the Brazil squadron gives ns
the movements on that station to the 30th of August.
On the 4th the Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Barnard,
arrived at Buenos Ayres„ having on board his Excel-
lency Captain Sir Charles Hotham. R. N., Minister
Plenipotentiary to the Argentine Government ; th•
Secretary of Legation, Mr. G. Thornton ; and the en-
tire suite connected with the embassy. As the Vixen
could not enter the inner roads, from her draught of
water being too great, the Locust steam vessel, Lieu-
tenant-Commander Day, proceeded out to her, and con-
veyed the Minister and suite into the inner roads near
the landing-place. On Wednesday, the 1 1 th, General
Urqniza having ordered two carriages of state to wait on
Sir C. Hotham, he. accompanied by the Hon. Captain
Gore, R.N., Charg6 d'Affaires at Buenos Ayres, and the
entire diplomatic staff in their full uniforms, attended by
an escort of cavalry, proceeded to the Government-house'
to be presented. They were received in a most gratifying
manner, the fort firing a Royal salute, and a regiment of
infantry with their band were drawn up in front of the
Government-house to pay full honours to her Majesty's
representatives. The French Minister, Le Chevalier de
St. Georges, was received with similar demonstrations of
respect. The result of the meeting is already known.
The Vixen and Locust are stationed at BuenosAyres;
the Centaur at Rio; the Express and Bonetta at Bahia;
the Rifleman is cruising off St. Catherine's. The Cen-
taur (flag) has lust some of her crew by yellow fever.
Mr. Sole, her additional assistant-surgeon, has proceeded
to the Falkland Islands to take medical charge of that
station, in the absence of Mr. Hamblin, colonial sur-
geon, who proceeds to England on sick leave.
The Lords of the Admiralty will pay their annual
official visit to this port on Monday next.
