THE NAVY.

The second trial of the ironplated screw steam-
ship Prince Consort, 35 guns, 4,045 tons, which
took place at Plymouth on Thursday, was con-
sidered satisfactory. As announced by telegram in
The Sun yesterday, the mean speed attained in
six runs was 13132. The trial was full-boiler
power. Both the engines 'lna boilers worked ex-
ceedingly well, and although in some of the runs
the wind freshened from an average of 32 up to 5,

it appeared to have very little effect on the speed of
the vessel. The trials of half-boiler power and two
boiler power were appointed to take place yester-
day.

The Falcon, 17, screw corvette, made an cfficial
trial of her machinery yesterday in Stokes Bay,
Portsmouth, under the superintendence of Capt. H.
Broadhead and staff, preparatory for commission.

THE ARMY.
The half-yearly inspection of the artillery sta-
tioned in the South West District, land and sea
service, took place yesterday on Southsea-common,
near Portsmouth, by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet,
C.B. The force was drawn up in three brigades,

with a battery of field artillery on either flank; the
I battery of the 4th brigade, with its six-horsed
Armstrong 12 pounder guns, occupying the right
of the line, under the command of Col. Barlow; the
K battery, of the same brigade, holding the left,
under C Apt. Martin ; and both batteries under the
command of Col. Anderson, C.B. The 6th brigade
of Garrison Artillery, in seven batteries, under the
command of Col. Longdon, was posted on the right►
next the I field battery, with the Royal Marine
Artillery in the central position, under Col. Tait, in
eight strong batteries, the 7th brigade of Garrison
Artillery, under Col. Daneville, being on the left
and next to K battery, Col. Warde, C. 8., com-
manding lithe :artillery of the South-West: District,
was in supreme command of the whole force. A
finer body of artillery in point of numbers or ap-
pearance, never probably assembled on Squthsea-
common. After a close inspection of the force on
its first formation, it was marched past the inspect-
ing officer in single batteries and in grand divisions,
after which a series of evolutions was performed
under Col. %Yarde's directions, the mimic battle
being mainly fought with the 12 pounders of the I

and K batteries, no ammunition having been served
out to the Garrison Artillery, who were marched

about in different formations, encumbered by the
earbine and sword bayonet. At the close of the
evolutions medals for long service and good conduct

were presented to the following recipients :—Master.
gunner Edward Dewey, a medal and £l5 gra.
tuity ; Master-gunner Thomas Anderson, a meda
and £l5 gratuity; Master-gunner Joseph Thornley
a medal and £lO gratuity ; Master-gunner John
Williams, a medal and £l5 gratuity; Sergeant
James Gilbertson, a medal and £l5 gratuity; Gun-
ner J. Breley, a medal and £6 gratuity. Col. Warde
impressed most earnestly on young soldiers that
the medals he was presenting could only be won by
a long course of service and exemplary conduct, and
that the gunner in the ranks might win it equally
with the Master-gunner or non-commissioned officer,
while every wearer of such a medal must command
the respect of soldier and civilian in addition to the
esteem of his officers. In the case of Master-gunner
Dewey, Colonel Warde said, "this was a soldier of
whose career he had a personal knowledge. During
the Indian mutiny the troop of artillery to which
he was attached was sent after a large body of
mutineers, whom they overtook, rode through, cut
down, and destroyed. With his own hand Ser-
geant-major Dewey killed three of the mutineers,
when his horse was shot under him. Encumbered
as he then was he managed to slay three more of
the fiends. That was no child's play—no fighting
with John Chinaman ; it was a downright struggle
with soldiers whom we had taught ourselves, and
who when loyal and true could fight as well as
most men."
A general regimental order, signed by Col, C.
Bingham, Deputy-Adjut.-Gen., Royal Artillery,
has been received at Chatham garrison from the

ments :—Her Majesty has been pleased to approve

Col. W. R. Nedham, attended by Adjut.-Lieut.
Graham, of the Depot Brigade, resumed his inspec-
tion yesterday morning of the Royal Artillery
quartered at Chatham garrison, which was brought
to a termination in the afternoon. In consequence
of the threatening aspect of the weather and the
state of the ground the field day announced to be
held on Chatham Lines did not take place, and the
officers ar,d men composing the mounted C field
battery of the 9th Brigade Royal Artillery were
drawn up in the North-square, at the Artillery
Barracks, Brompton, where they were subjected to
a minute inspection. The remainder of the day was
devoted by Cal. Nedham to an inspection of the
field battery of 12-pounder Armstrong guns, wag-
gons, ammunition carts, harness, &e., orderly rooms,
non-commissioned officers' quarters, school-rooms,
&c,, all of which appeared to be in a very satisfac-
tory condition.
