" OF ARTILLERY.

" 15. As it is important that officers of the service
generally should be acquainted with the principles ob-
served in the encampment of troops of other arms than
their own, and with the space which they occupy when
encamped, the General Commanding-in-Chief has fur-
ther commanded that the existing regulations for the
encampment of field artillery, as established in the Royal
Artillery by command of the Master-General of the
Ordnance, be annexed to these instructions fur the ge-
neral information of the army.
"By command of the Right Hon. the General Com-
manding-in-Chief,
"J. FREETH, Quartermaster-General.

"N.B.—All the plans accompanying these instruc-
tions are framed upon the scale of 40 yards to an inch."

It is understood that the King and Queen of Han-
over will proceed' to England on a visit to her Majesty
in the course of a fortnight. Their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Prussia will also arrive in
England in the course of next month. If any portion
of our troops be out in camp during the visit of the
Prince of Prussia, we would recommend them, for the
honour of their cloth, to look to their work at field-days,
for they will have a spectator whose eye is as sharp as
his knowledge of detail is perfect.

The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Master Comman-
der John E. Petley, came into harbour last evening,
from Devonport, with the Master-General of the Ord-
nance (Lord Raglan) and engineering officers, from their
official inspection of the western fortifications.
The Duke of Wellington, screw, 131, Captain Henry
Byam Martin, is bending sails, and using every energy
in getting ready for sea. The new proposal for the
better manning of the navy has worked its magic up on
the hitherto-neglected British sailor, whose heart is as
big as the First Lord of the Admiralty, and its imme-
diate effect is shown by the number of good men who
are daily joining this noble three-decker.
The Fairy, yacht, Master Commander D. N. Welch,
is on the gridiron, shifting her propeller and taking in a
supply of brick coals.
Imperieuse, 60, [screw, Captain Rendle B. Watson,
has hoisted the blue peter at the fore, and is under im-
mediate orders for foreign service.
The Simoom, 18, screw, iron troop-frigate, Captain
John Kingcome, will come into the steam-basin dock, to
have the state of her bottom examined.

The Encounter, 14, screw, Captain G. W. D. O'Cal-
laghan, received her boilers to-day under the sheers, and
will soon be ready for active service.
The Conflict, 8, screw, is painting, and only awaiting
the arrival of her new boomerang-propeller, which is to
be of much stronger make than the one that gave way
on her trial.
It is stated that three of our steam reserve are to be
sent down to Plymouth, such as Gorgon, Bulldog, and
Stromboli.

The splendid American liner Prince Albert, Captain
Macgill, arrived from London last evening, and having
embarked passengers from this port, sailed to-day for
New York.

The Victoria, Captain Champion, arrived here this
morning from New York ; landed passengers in Garratt
and Gibbons' tender, and sailed for London this evening.
She left New York on the 23d April.

!PLYMOUTH, MAY 23.
