THE ARMY.

The whole of the schools connected with the Royal
Engineer establishment at Chatham have been fur-
nished with recruits, sent up to headquarters from
the various recruiting districts, in order that they
may be put through the usual curriculum of enei-
neering education in photography, surveying, topo-
graphy, military drawing, &c., previously to their
being despatched on colonial service. All the avail-
able officers and men of the Royal Engineers not in
attendance at the schools are going through a course
of field-work instruction at the Royal Engineers'
practising-ground, adjoining St. Mary's-creek,
where, under the direction of Col. Lovell, C. 8., the
superintendent of field_works, a regular course of
fortification is being carried out. The plan of the
works now in progress supposes a regular attack on
St. Mary's casemated barracks, towards which the
siege works are being directed. These consist of
the saps, parallels, magazines, and other earthworks
constructed after the modern systems of fortification,
on the basis of Vauban's theory, together with
sunken, half-sunken, and elevated earth batteries for
the reception of the siege guns. The whole of the
works are being pushed forward with great vigour,
in anticipation of siege operations on a rather ex-
tensive scale being carried out at Chatham towards
the end of the present season.
Capt. L. C. Barber, from the retired list of Royal
Engineer officers, Chatham, has been appointed to
succeed Capt. N. H. Synge, in the Royal Engineer
Department, Sheerness, under the command of Col.
S. Freeth, Royal Engineers. Mr. W. Wilgress has
succeeded to the duties of Assistant Superintendent
of Stores and Acting Barrack Master, vice Mr. I.
Moore, ordered for service at Malta.
O❑ Thursday, May 28, the non-commissioned offi-
cers of the Veteran Battalion, Gosport, presented to
their Sergeant-Major, Joseph Gibbs, of Forton, a
handsome gold watch, as a mark of esteem for hia
manly and soldierlike conduct during the time he
has served with them.
