Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Admiralty paddlewheel yacht Enchantress, Staff-
Commander John E. Pettey, having on board the Lords of
the Admiralty—the Duke of Somerset, K.G., Vice-Admiral
Sir Frederick Grey, Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson (Con-
troller of the Navy), Rear Admiral J. R. Drummond, and
Mr Childers, M.P., accompanied by Capt. Robert Hall,
Private Secretary to the Dake of Somerset, and Major
Clarke, R.E., Admiralty director of engineering works, and
other officials, arrived at Sheerness, on their annual visit of
inspection on Sunday evening, when the customary salutes
were exchanged. On Monday morning, previously to their
Lordships landing at the dockyard, Admiral Drummond
proceeded to the Cumberland, Capt. W. K. Hall, guardship
of the steam reserve, where he mustered and inspected the
men and officers of the steam reserve, He also went on
board the Devonshire, where he investigated the arrange-
ments made in that vessel for the instruction of engineers.
The gallant Admiral likewise visited the Arethusa, 39, screw
frigate, 500 horse power, which is only waiting Admiralty
orders for the pennant, as she has been fully rigged and fitted
in the first class steam reserve for some time. At 11 a.m.
their Lordships landed at the dockyard, and were received
by the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot,
K.C.B. ; Capt. Su?. C. Wise, Aide-de-camp to the Queen;
Capt. W. K. Hall, C.B. ; Capt. Fulford, Col. Reddell, C.B,
commandant of the garrison ; Mr W. humble, inspector of
machinery afloat; Mr Moody, master shipwright ; and the
heads of departments. They were saluted by a detachment
of Royal Artillery from the guns on the Camber. On land-
ing their Lordships proceeded to the office of the Capt. Su-
perintendent and transacted business, then visited the
working boathouse and boatahed. Thence they proceeded
to and minutely inspected the Warrior target, which has
recently been towed into the basin from Shoeburyness,
after having been literally knocked to pieces by the Arm-
strong 600-pounder steel shot. Their Lordships next visited
the North Star, 22, steam corvette, for the purpose of ascer-
taining the propriety of converting this partially-built ship
into an ironclad. The new well was next visited ; this
has recently been successfully finished, notwithstanding
numerous difficulties which have arisen from the treacher-
ous nature of the various strata through which it has been
bored by Mr Thomas Tilley, of Enfield. The engines were at
work during the inspection and their Lordships expressed
their satisfaction with the works. In the course of their
tour their Lordships visited the new steam meeting sheers,
which have recently been erected for the purpose of masting
vessels, and which were, at the time, employed in raising
the mainmast of the Bristol, 39, screw steam frigate, which
is fitting for the first division of the steam reserve. While
visiting the steam factory they inspected a most ingenious
apparatus recently constructed from plans made by Mr J.
Parker, one of the foremen of the factory, for the purpose
of slitting copper pipes, and which they approved. Having
completed the inspection of the factory, they lunched at the
official residence of the Capt.-Superintendent of the yard.
After luncheon they minutely inspected the proposed altera-
tions and improvements in the steam reserve department in
the yard, visited the naval barracks, mustered and inspected
the seamen and marines, and witnessed the working of the
gunboats which have been fitted as fire. engines. Afterwards
they proceeded in the Wildfire, Master-Commander Brock-
man, to the Research, 4, screw iron-cased ship, Captain A.
Wilmshurst. It has been undergoing several necessary al-
terations in the portablerebulwarks for allowing the battery
guns to be fired either ahead or astern, a new plan of hinged
bulwarks having been adopted by which they can be opened
outwards on the vessel being cleared for action, and are so
placed that they will prevent the smoke from the guns rolling
inboard. Additional space has also been obtained in mid-ship
battery for working the guns by the removal of the funnel
ease and funnel. Several minor alterations have also been
made to the engines of the vessel since her late experimental
cruise, which together it is believed will render the vessel
much more effective. On their Lordships' arrival at the
Research, which had been removed from the harbour to the
Little Nore, they proceeded to inspect the vessel, when the
efficiency of the alterations were severely tested by firing
from the 100-pounder guns several broadsides with reduced
charges. Several rounds were also fired from the fore and
aft guns, with both reduced and full charges. The results
of the firing were most satisfactory, the concussions being
almost imperceptible. At the conclusion of these experi-
ments the Research steamed into the barb3ur at full speed
to try her machinery. The result of this trial was also
most satisfactory. On arriving in the harbour at about
7 30 p.m. their Lordships at once proceeded to the Admi-
ralty-house to dine with the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-
Admiral Sir Charles Talbot, K.C.B. The principal officers
of the navy and army at Sheerness had the honour of invi-
tations to dinner. Their Lordships left Sheerness in the
Enchantress, on Tuesday morning, for Chatham, where
they arrived on their annual tour of inspection of the Dock-
yard,
the Government extension works, and the naval
establishments at that port. The members of the board com-
prised the Duke of Somerset; Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir F.
W. Grey ; Rear-Admiral the Hon. J. R. Drummond, and
Mr H. C. E. Childers,M.P. ; Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson,
Controller of the Navy ; Capt. R. Hall, private secretary to
the Duke of Somerset; Major Clarke, Director of Admiralty
Engineering Works; Mr Mallalieu, Chief Superintendent of
the several Dockyard Police Forces, and Mr Spalding.
Lord Clarence Paget, Chief Secretary, and Mr. E. L. Reed,
Chief Constructor of the Navy, were both detained at the
Admiralty on important business, which prevented their
joining the Board. The Admiralty paddle-wheel steam-
yacht Enchantress, 250-horse power, on board which their
lordships slept on Monday night after their inspection of
Sheerness Dockyard, got under weigh at an early hour
yesterday morning, and arrived in Chatham harbour shortly
after 9 o'clock. The paddle-wheel steam-tender Otter,
after embarking Captain-Superintendent W. H. Stewart,
C. 8., Mr Thornton, principal master shipbuilder, and other
officials at the dockyard pier, steamed out of the harbour
to meet their lordships, who commenced the duties of the
day by the inspection of the iron-clad frigate Achilles, 20,
6,121 tons, 1,250-horse power, which is moored a short dis-
tance out in the harbour below the Dockyard. On pro-
ceeding on board the members of the Board were received
by Captain Vansittart, and by him conducted over the
variout portions of the frigate. Only a comparative small
amount of work, and that chiefly in the way of fittings,
now remains to be effected on board, and there appears to
be every probability that the Achilles will be completed
and ready to leave Chatham in the course of next month.
Owing to the length of time she has been lying in the har-
bour—a period of about nine months—her bottom has be-
come exceedingly foul, which will necessitate her being
docked for the purpose of having the barnacles, sea-weed,
and other marine incrustations removed before she can pro-
ceed on her trial cruise. No dock is now available to receive
her at Chatham, and it wilt consequently necessitate her
removal to Portsmouth for that purpose. After spending
about an hour on board the Achilles, Mr. Childers and
the other members of the Board engaged in the inspection
re-embarked in the Enchantress with the intention of pay-
ing a visit to St. Mary's Island, for the purpose of in-
specting the extensive works now in progress for convert-
ing the whole of the island, eomprising an area of
upwards of 300 acres, or rather more than three times
the space occupied by the existing dockyard, into basins,
graving docks, building slips, &c., to meet the growing
requirements of Chatham dockyard as an iron shipbuild-
ing establishment. To enable their lordships to land a
platform had been erected from the island running out to
the tieu wail, but ill ceusegtionce of the boisterous state of

the weather, and a strong gale blowing from the northward
with the rain falling in torrents, the attempt to disembark
were found to be impracticable, and their Lordships con-
tented themselves with steaming round the western and
northern shore of the island, from which a pretty correct
view of the works in progress could be obtained. These in-
clude the formation of three extensive steam fitting basins,
the whole covering an area of between 90 and 100 acres,
with a mean depth of water of 30 feet. Communicating
with the basins will be, according to the plan at present
proposed, at least six graving docks, each not less than 400
feet in length, and of corresponding. breadth, and all capable
of recei ring the largest vessels of the navy, with the whole
of their guns, stores, &c., on board—a condition which not
one of the existing docks at Chatham now fulfils. There
will also be the usual factories and buildings for carrying on
the construction of iron vessels of wet. The first of the
basins, which covers an area of between 20 and 30 acres, is
expected to be completed in about a year. After satisfying
themselves of the progress made in tin extensive works,
their Lordships steamed np to the doctr;errd, and landed at
the Queen's Stairs shortly before 11 a.ro., where they were
received by the heads of departments and all the principal
officials of the establishment. After larding the Duke of
Somerset, with the other members of ire Board, attended
by Mr Thornton, Mr Moore, and Mr Hutchens, master
shipbuilders, and the other officials, conmenced their tour
of inspection of the squadron of iron an' wooden vessels in
progress. The latter description of Teasels may be dis-
missed with a few passing remarks, al of all the wooden
line•of-battle and other wooden slips now on the
stocks at Chatham not a single hand has been employed
on either for a period to be reckonet by years, and in
the present transition state of the limy the Admiralty
appear to be altogether undecided is to the ultimate
destiny of what were deemed in their day the splendid
line of battle and other ships which have lain so long idle
on the building slips. The only exception appears to be in
the case of the Reindeer, 17-gun screw corvette. which ac-
cording to present intention is to be at once taken in hand
and completed for launching, although the particular service
for which she is intended is not stated. Their Lordships
made a minute survey of the Bellerophon ironclad frigate,
and from frequent observations which fell from the leading
members of the Board, it was evident they appeared tho-
roughly satisfied with the progreia made with the ship.
They at the same time expressed tie fullest confidence in
her designer. After leaving the Belerophon, a hasty visit
was paid to the Cadmus. 21, and he Torch, 5, both of
which are in dock fitting, and passiag the wooden vessels
on the several slips their Lordships reached the Lord War-
den, building at the extreme end of the yard. This frigate
has been rather more than eight mcnths in hand, and will
g by the end of the en-
el the armour-plates will

be attached is now being fixed, ani the greatest activity
used to hasten forward the frigate for the reception of her
casing of armour. The most conspicuous object connected
with the vessel, however, is the formidable cleaver-shaped
stem with which she is intended to be armed ; and this ap-
peared to be the chief feature in the frigate which attracted
their Lordships' attention. Leaving the Lord Warden,
the Lords of the Admiralty visited the smithies, and wit-
nessed the operations of the tilt ar:tc other steam hammers
for converting the shattered armour plates of the Lord
Warden target and adapting them for the general service of
the establishment. Their Lordships having lunched at
the official residence of Captain Stewart, visited the ropery
and inspected the new spinning and other machinery.
They next proceeded on foot to Melville naval hospital,
over which they were conducted by Dr. Kinnear, the
principal medical offieer. In the course of their visit they
inspected the plans of the proposed buildings for a
smoking-room for the patients, ea well as a strong room,
both of which works will be carried out. Some time was
also spent by their Lordships in considering the proposed
plans for removing a most dangerous hill adjoining the
hospital, called Barrack-hill, in which accidents of a more
or less serious character are constantly occurring. The
plans suggested to their lordships—which are approved by
the Board of Health—proposed the removal of one of the
two roads leading to the dockyard, and by throwing them
into one and lessening the hill, it is considered that the
numerous accidents caused by the present roads will be
altogether prevented. After completing their inspection of
the plans, &c., for the proposed work, the members of the
Board visited and examined the Royal Marine barracks,
and the additional wing recently completed, together with
the new officers' quarters. At the close of the inspection,
Admiral Doummond left his colleagues, and proceeded to
the Admiralty, and their lordships afterwards went on board
the Enchantress, where they ;ace a dinner party. They
will resume their inspection this morning.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

YORK AUGUST MEETING.,--TuEsDAv.

It is on the Stand at Knavesmire that one meets a few
members of the scattered hosts of the fa.hionable world, as
well as the well known faces of the leading patrons of the
turf, not seen since the meeting at Goodwood.
York position will always command an attend-
ancei upper ten" not graated to minor provincials,
ifithoa of
‘h from t
nott
estronger claims in tie character of the sport it
affords. After the wretched exhibition of plating we have
assisted at for this last two or three weeks, it is a relief to
turn to the well-filled broadsheet that Mr Johnson issues,
confident of finding something to repay us for the trouble
and expense of a northern journay. To-day 12 events on
the card necessitated commencisg at one o'clock, the Zet-
land being first on the list, with Marigold and Little Stag
as competitors. Lord St. Viacent's horse has lost his
spring form, and exhibited none of that free borending
action that marked him at Chester and on this course
last M. Ho was defeated easily by the mare. Clarior,
grovrn into a powerful looking horse, and especially pre-
pared for the event, ran away from the favourite, Blue
Mantle, utw handicaps is a feature deserving of
Burgundy
Stakes with extreme ease. A
card only
record in these days. The Chesterfield, which brought
nine runners to the post, was another easy win for
the favourite, Echo, an Amsrican bred, one that Lord
Westmoreland purchased in the spring
from Mr Ten Broeck.
The Convivial, out of its 45 entries, only sent six to the
boasting r
oy in
theßu
of g
post—a fact speaking volumes for the hardness of the
ground, which was certainly as bad as anything we re-
member on Knavesmire. Ohnsr, who ran so badly in the
July meet at Newmarket, here came out and won rather
cleverly after a set to with Gontran. The rest of the
events we must leave to the telegraph. The attendance
was not so numerous as on former occasions.
The Zetland Stakes (Handicap), of 5 sovs each, with 50
added, for all ages. The Second to save his stake. One
mile. Six subs.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Marigold, 6to 4 agst Little Stag,
100 to 15 agst Wisdom.
Dubiety on the outside was the first away, closely fol-
lowed by Wisdom, a length in whose rear were Marigold
and Little Stag. These positions were retained to the bend
into the straight, where the two favourites joined the
leaders, and ran in company to the distance, when the
favourite came out, and won very cleverly by three-quarters
of a length; a head between the second and third ; Wisdom
finished close up.
The Burgundy Stakes of 100 soya each, la ft, for 4.yr-
olds ; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies, Bst 61b. The second horse
to receive back his stake. Two miles over the old course.

Betting-2 to 1 on Blue Mantle, and 3 to 1 against
Clarior.
Blue Mantle appeared in advance for a few strides, but
was then headed by Clarior, who made play at a wretched
pace, the favourite going on second, with The Plover in
attendance. Passing along the woed side the pace some-
what mended, and as they neared the distance Biue Mantle
was seen in difficulties, and halfway down was headed toy
The Plover, who was neverenabled to reach Lord Glasgow's
colt, who won with great ease by a couple of lengths ;
length separated the second and third.
The Selling Stakes of 5 soya each, with 50 added ; for
2-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age, with selling

'pa following also raw—Bright, Zenobia, Vanessa,

After several failures they left the post in close company,
the favourite on the inside, having a slight lead, followed
by Loafer and Chelmsford in the centre, with Ostentation
on the outside, to the distance, where Loafer gave way to
Brown Willey, who challenged My Fancy at the Stand,
but was beaten very easily by two lengths; a length be-
tween the second and third, the Damsel filly finished a bad
fourth, Richmond Lass fifth, Ostentation sixth, Chelms-
ford seventh, and Bright next. The last was Measure for
Measure. The winner was sold to Mr Cartwright for 410
guineas.

Obedience also ran.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Echo, sto 1 agst Kapunda, and 6to
1 each agst Lyra, Newchurch, Brindisi, and The Principal.
Heartfield weighed for Obedience. 3 yrs, Est 41b, but on
her way to the post she overpowered her rider and bolted
into the town, and in consequence did not go to the post.
On settling into their places Kapunda on the inside took
a decided lead, followed by Stirrup Cup, Brindisi, New-
church, and Bandarilla, the favourite, in company with
The Principal, lying some lengths in the rear. As they
fairly rounded the bend Kapunda gave way to Stirrup
Cup, who came on with a slight advantage to the distance,
when he was headed by Brindisi and Bandarilla, the pair
being joined on crossing the last road by Echo, who took
a decided lead as they neared the enclosure and won in a
canter by a length. There were three lengths between the
second and third; Kapunda, who finished a bad fourth,
was placed by the judge; Stirrup Cup was fifth, the
Principal sixth, and Lyra next.

The Convivial Stakes of 10 soya each, h ft, with 100 added,
for 2-yr• olds—colts, Bst 71b; fillies, Sat 61b, with certain

Betting-6 to 4 agst Wild Agnes, 4to 1 agst Gontran,
9to 2 agst Zambesi, and sto age, Olmar.
Immediately the flag was lowered Furze Chat, lying in the
centre, was the first away, and made play at a strong pace,
having Gontran next the rails, Zambesi and Wild Agnes
as her immediate followers to half way in the distance,
where she was beaten. The leaders were then joined by
Olmar, who, on reaching the stand, took a slight lead and
won cleverly by two lengths—two lengths separated the se-
cond and third—and a head between the third and fourth
—the others were beaten off.
The Yorkshire Oaks of 15 soya each, 5 ft, with 100 addc3,
for 3-yr-old fillies, Bst 101 b each. Winners extra.

Lady of Coverham, with Queen of Tramps, Tooi Tooi,
and Light in close attendance, made the running to the
bend into the straight, where the former declined,
and was followed in a few strides after by Tooi Tooi,
which left Light in possession of a slight lead,
of Linda and Queen of Trumps, close up with whom were
Miss Pickle and Gondola, who ran in company to the en-
closure, where the last named headed Light, and won, after
a fine finish by a short head ; a length and a half separated
the second and third horses. Queen of Trumps finished a
good fourth, a neck each only dividicg her, Linda, and
Lady of Coverham. Alice Fauconberg and Tooi-tooi were
the last two. After the race Fordham objected to the rider
