The annual inspection of the Ist division of the
Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, stationed at Sheer-
ness, took place on Saturday morning by Major-
Gen. Sir Robt. Walpole, K.C.8., Commander-in-
Chief of the Chatham district. Accompanied by
Brigade-Major Congreve, he arrived at Sheerness
by the 10 o'clock train, and was met at the railway
station by Col. Riddell, commandant of the Royal
Artillery for Chatham district, and Col. Gibbon,
commanding the Ist division of the depot brigade at
Sheerness: He immediately proceeded to the parade
ground in front of the centre bastion, where the
troops were drawn up in line to receive them. After
the usual salute the troops opened the column and
marched past in slow and quicklime. They were
then pit throughvarious evolutions by Col. Gibbon,
and afterwards by the captains of the different bat-
teries. The troopS next formed into square, two
.feet
deep, when Major-Gen. Walpole :addressed them,
expressing his great; satisfaction at:the smart and
soldierly appearanto of the-me.a;au(rlikewi,o) at the
Small amount of crime which existed in the division.
They were then dismissed, and the gallant. General
proceeded to inspect the barracks, the soldiers' food,
the hospital, and the books of the garrison. He ex-
pressed his entire satisfaction with the result of the
inspection, and returned to Chatham by the three
o'clock train.
The head-quarter squadron of the 2d Dragoons

The mounted portion of the Ist Royal Dragoons
is under orders to leave Aldershot Camp. Four

The sick, hospital attendants, and soldiers' fami-
lies of the Ist Battalion of the 14th Regiment were
ordered to march from the camp at Aldershot on
Saturday morning to the Farnborough station of the
South-Western Railway, and proceed by the 11 20
a.m. train to Portsmouth. The detachment consisted
of 3 officers, 57 men, 72 women, and 125 children.
The lst Battalion Grenadier Guards is under
orders to leave Aldershot this morning for London,
moving by route-march and encamping on the way.
The following has just been promulgated at Alder-
shot in the regimental orders of the lat battalion
21st Fusiliers :—" The officer commanding feels
that he must not allow the expression of commen-
dation and approval -elicited from his Royal High-
ness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief on
two occasions—viz., the 12th and 19th inst.—the
former on the inspection of the garrison by the
Prince of Wales, the latter on the occasion of a field
day of the:whole garrison under his immediate com-
mand, to go unnoticed. On the first occasion his
Royal Highness was pleased to direct the major-
general commanding the brigade to express to the
regiment his high satisfaction, with the manner in
which the battalion had marched past. On the
second occasion his Royal Highness was good enough
to express in person his high gratification to Col.
Stuart at the manner in which the regiment moved,
and to say that he considered it a pattern one. Such
flattering approval involves great credit to both offi-
cers and men, and Col. Stuart cannot allow so pletas-
ing an opportunity to pass without th ank in

Senor Alvaro Reynoso, director of the Government
laboratory at Havana, has introduced a new process for
the refinement of sugar by the use of phosphate of alumi-
num, which is alleged to be superior in every respect to
every process hitherto attempted or proposed. The French
Academy of Sciences has appointed a commission to in-
quire into this invention.—The index.
The most gigantic railway project in our engineering
age seems on the eve of practical realisation. It is nothing
less than a railway through the Swiss Alps, connecting
Northern with Southern Europe by a continuous track for
the locomotive. There appears to bo no doubt that tho
physical difficulties, enormous though these aro, can be
'overcome with money, of which there is no lack, and the
only question has hitherto been as to the choice of routes.
The city of Genoa had appropriated 6,000,000 f. towards
the work on condition that the Lukmanier pass was se-
lected ; Milan contributes 10,000,000 f. on a similar con-
dition in favour of the Splugon pass. Switzerland and
Bavaria, on the other hand, prefer respectively the St.
Gotthart and the Brenner. Signor Jacini, the Italian
Minister of Public Works, has just appointed a commis-
sion to examine the various plans and report upon the
locality of the proposed road best suitable to the interests
of the whole kingdom. He has also induced the cities of
Genoa and Milan to apply their appropriations to what-
ever route the commission might recommend. In addi-
to these 16,000,000 there is 10,000,000 which, by a
clause in the treaty for the sale of the State railways, the
new company is bound to contribute towards the proposed

crowded congregation.

The latest advices from Hayti, through Spanish
channels, are to June 24. According to them, the
insurrection against President Geffrard was on the point of
being suppressed. The main army of the insurgents was
shut up in the town of. Le Cap, which was besieged by sea
and land by the national forces under General Lubenisse.
The Senate and House of Representatives, had passed roso-
lutions pledging their confidence and support to the Exe-
cutive. The evacuation of the Domingan part of the
island by the Spaniards has been completed by the blow-
ing up of the two forts of San Francisco and San Pedro.
Forty-three hundredweight of powder were employed in
this work, which is described as a terribly sublime spec-
tacle. The rest of the town of Montecristo, mainly built
by the Spaniards during their occupation, was set on fire
by the St. Domingans in sight of the Spanish array No Noon

Attack and Defence of Woolwich Dockyard

One of the most interesting and exciting field days
in connection with the volunteer movement took

place on Saturday evening last, in the presence of
many thousands of spectators atlVoolwiel Dockyard.
The proceedings commenced by the annual in-
spection of the brigade of Dockyard Volunteer- Ar-
tillery, which assembled in review order at 5 o'clock,
under the command of Major Piers, commandant of
the force, with Capt. and Adjutant Elliott, and
other officers, The brigade having formed into
square on the parade • groun'l previous to active
operations, a valuable silver challenge cup, the gift
Of Mrs. Piers, wife of the major commanding, was
presented to the corps by that lady, who addressed
the force in appropriate terms, and handed the cup
to Quartermaster-Sergeant Brown to be competed
for by members of the brigade at heavy gun prac-
tice. The brigade was then reviewed by the in-
specting officer, Col. Maberly, and the commandant
and staff, and subsequently marched past the
standard at slow and quick time in excellent style.
The force then formed square, deployed into line,
and carried out a series of manual, platoon, and
light infantry evolutions, which called forth the
special commendations of the military officers present.
The more imposing spectacle of an assault and
sham fight commenced at half-past six o'clock, when
the usefulness of the brigade as a defensive force was
well exemplified. The attacking force was repre-
i::, &hit,
posito barbette battery of four 12-ponnder
smoothbore guns, on shore, with a party of seamen
gunners and a strong detachment of :the 21st Kent
(Royal Arsenal) Volunteer Rifles, and the Essex
Volunteer Artillery, the latter beipg, posted with
two mortars on the North Woolwich shore, whilst
the dockyard battery, with several 9-pounder guns
in position to the 'right and left, forming the de-
fence,'Were manned and worked by gunners of the
dockyard brigade. The scene presented was of a
most animated description. VesselS in the river
decked with colours fore and aft; immense stacks of
timber fronting the wharf, and every available spot
commandh a view of the operations, were crowded
with spectators, amongst whom were a large pro-
portion otTeei.
Signal rockets haling been sent up froth the Fis-
gard, the heavy guns of that vessel' opened a terrific
fire upon the dockyard battery, which replied with
equal force, as did also the 9_-pounders on the right
and left., Amidst the dense smoke which prevailed,
the 21st Kent, having 'embarked in small boats,
were rowed round to the steps of the, bat-
tery ; but their landing was opposed by a
murderous fire from the carbines of the
defenders .and the ordnance on shore. Ulti-
mately the attacking force, in spite of all obstacles,
protected by:the Fisgard, by means of scaling lad-
ders, sprang gaily over the walls of the battery, and
being overpowered the gunners retreated ; the
standardwas lowered in token of submission,. and
the battery was fully in the hands of the enemy.
The defenders, however, made a good retreat, and
carried off to a good position the 9-pounder guns to
the right and left of.the battery. The defenders
then formed into two divisions, skirmishers were
sent out, and a fierce volley firing was kept up by
both ihe contending parties. At this 'juncture it
was evident that other means must be adopted to
regain possession of the battery, as the invaders
were still protected by the guns of the Fisgard, and
at the sound of the bugle the entire brigade of dock-
yard artillery re-formed into line in excellent order.
The -guns which had been saved from the enemy
were also again placed in favourable' positions for
an aggressive movement, 'and the defending force
at quick time made a determined and irresistible
bayonet charge upon the enemy. The force in pos-
session was driven helter-skelter over the` walls of.
the battery to their boats, and suceeedeq,. in escap?
ins under cover of the Fisgaitt guns, although ex-
posed to a most galling fire from the carbines of a
detachment stationed along the front of the wharf.
The battery was completely retaken, and the stan-
dard again hoisted amidst the ]oud cheers of the
brigade. Subsequently, both the contending parties
reassembled on shore, where they were addressed in
terms of high commendation by Major Piers as to
the manner in which the several evolutions had been
carried out. The proceedings terminated about
dusk, when the force saluted and marched off, pre-
ceded by the bands of the dockyard brigade and the
Royal Arsenal Rifles.
The officers of the brigade were subsequently
entertained at the residence of the commanding
officer, Major Piers.
