gill E PISTON FREEZING MACHINE
(ASH'S PATENT) is rapidly bewming a part of the
cuisine of every gentleman's establishment. because it is by
far the quickest, most economical, and easy method of
freezing known. It is only by the piston process that des-
sert ices, iced puddings, Ite,, can be made at once in moulds,
reidy for table (avoiding the double operation of freezing and
moulding afterwards). It is the very best apparatus for
icing wines, and produces the purest block ice. Its complete
success, when used with the chemical freezing powders (in
lieu of ice) in hot climate., on board ship, esc., is testified by
reference to patrons in nearly every part of the world. Price

The Octavia, 35, screw frigate, Capt. C. F.
Hillyar ; the Constance, 35, screw frigate, Capt. E.
K. Barnard ; and the Liverpool, 35, screw frigate,
Capt. R. Lambert, arrived and anchored at Spit-
head on Saturday, on their return from their Chan-
nel experimental cruise. The Octavia and the Con-
stance have completed their • ordered 40 hours' trial

of their machinery under steam, and will to-day fill
up with coal and await further orders from the Ad-
miralty. The Arethusa, 35, screw frigate, Capt. R.
' J. G. J. Macdonald, the third of the frigates fitted
with experimental machinery, remained in the Chan-
nel, completing her ordered 10 hours' trial of her
machinery under steam, and is expected to join her
consorts at Splthead to-day.
The Dilawur, hired sailing transport, Commander
Baillie, R.N.R., sailed from Spithead, after being
towed out of Portsmouth harbour by a Government
steamer, at 10 a.m. on Saturday for Bombay with
the headquarters of the 26th (Cameronians) Regi-
ment on board, under the command of Major Mosse.
The remainder of the 26th, about 250 of all ranks,
will embark at Portsinonth for Bombay on the Bth
of August, on board the hired sailing transport
Edwin Fox.

The Royal Sovereign, 5, turret-ship, Captjja.
A. iierbert, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning
from Plymouth Sound.

The Austrian screw steam frigate Frederick,
Capt. Whiplinger, which has been at Plymouth dur-
ing the exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society
left the Sound on Friday evening for Bremerhaven.
Mr. Inspector Annis, of the Devonport dockyard
detective force, who was stabbed with the blade of
a sword stick at Stonehouse on the 22d inst., is pro-
gressing favourably in the Royal Naval Hospital at
Plymouth, under the care of Dr. Beith. The Lords
of the Admiralty have expressed to Admiral Super-
intendent Symonds their extreme regret that so
valuable an officer as Annis should. have received
such a dangerous wound. The marine storedealer
Bunter, his assailant, who committed suicide in
prison on Tuesday, was buried yesterday. The jury
returned a verdict of temporary insanity.
The Turkish ironcased frigate Osman Ghazy, 14,
Capt. Arib Bey, is now alongside the sheer hulk in
Hamoaze, Devonport, receiving her armament. It
consists of 14.150-pounders, muzzle-loading, rifled
shunt guns on the main deck, one 150-pounder
pivot gun on the upper deck aft, and one 300-
pounder gun of the same kind on the forecastle.
All these guns are Armstrongs ; the 150-pounders
are mounted on wrought iron carriages and slides,
with self-acting compressors of an improved de-
scriptioh. Common, segment, and steel shells are
supplied with the guns. The Osman Ghazy will pro-
bably leave Plymouth towards the end of the week,
and will be taken to Constantinople by Capt. D. R.
Coinyn, a lieutenant of the Royal Naval Reserve.
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 quick time. They were
then put through. various evolutions by Col. Gibbon,

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 appearance of the men, and likewise 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
(Scots Greys), under the command of Col. Darby
Griffith, C. 8., is under orders to leave Aldershot
Camp for Manchester. The mounted portion will
proceed to its destination ;by road this day, and the
&mounted portion, with the soldiers' families, by
rail to-morrow.

The mounted portion of the Ist Royal Dragoons
is under orders to leave Aldershot Camp. Four
troops will proceed to Shorncliffe on the 7th proximo,
and the head-quarters and foor troops to Brighton
on the following day.
On the departure of the Ist and 2d Dragoons from
Aldershot, the East Cavalry Barracks will be occu-
pied by the Bth Hussars, and the South Cavalry
Barracks by the 3d Hussars.
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 Ist Battalion Grenadier Guards is under
orders to leave Aldershot this morning for London,
moving by route-march and encamping on the way.
Thefollowing has just been promulgated atAlder-
shot in the Tegimental orders of the Ist 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 pleas-
ing an opportunity to pass without thanking e
regiment for its marked attention on all such occa-
sions.'

YEOMANRY.
The Worcestershire Regiment of Queen's Own
Yeomanry Cavalry arenow up on duty for eight days
at Worcester. The regiment is under the command of
Lieut.-Col. Commandant the Earl of Dudley, and
Lieut.-Col. the Right Hon. Sir J. S. Pakington,
G.C.B. There are ten troops, and the regi-
ment musters about 800 men, all well mounted.
There, was a lengthy drill on Saturday at Dempsey
Ham, near Worcester, when the artillery and car-
bine practice was pronounced most effective. The
review will take place on Wednesday next. Yester-
day the regiment attended divine service at Wor-
cester Cathedral, when there was, as usual, a very
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 reso-
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-
taclo. 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 army so soon
as the latter had embarked.—The index. ,

Defence
fVntere°sting and exciting field days
oolvirich Dockyard.
Attack and atnhedinDoesftei
in connection with the volunteermovement took
place-on Saturday evening last, in the presence of
many thousands of spectators atWoolwich 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 ground 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 themilitary officers present.
The more imposing spectaAl44..s4 assaul4.--and,
shanrtght 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-
sented by the flag-ship Fisgard, moored exactly op-
posite the barbette battery of four 32-pounder
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 being 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
commanding a view of the operations, were crowded
with spectators, amongst whom were a large pro-
portion of ladies.

Signal rockets having been sent up from 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
standard was 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 cut, and a fierce volley firing was kept up by
both the 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 bad been saved from the enemy
were also again placed in favourable positions for

a►ggressive. movement, and the defending force
at quick time made a determined and irresistible
bayonet chargeupon the enemy. The force in pos-
session was driven helter-skelter over the walls of
the battery to their boats, and succeeded in escap-
ing under cover of the Fisgard 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 loud 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.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

BERKSHIRE RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

The encampment of the administrative battalion
of this county terminated on Saturday last with a
review in the Great Park, to which the Queen's
Westminster and the St. George's came from town,
by special train by the South-Western Railway, to
take part in the proceedings. These battalions
marched through the town anddown the Long-walk,
headed by their excellent bands, to the ground, where
the Berks battalion had been drawn up in quarter
distance column, being under the command of their
gallant colonel, Col. L. Lindsey, V.C., M.P. The
Queen's Westminster formed on the left of the Berk-
shire battalion, and the St. George's on the right.
On the arrival of Major-Gen. Seymour, the inspect-
ing general, he was received by a general salute.
The staff was composed of Col. Colville, Capt. Sey-
mour, Capt. Gould of the 97th and others. After the
general had taken up his position, each battalion
prepared for the marching past, which was done in
quarter distance and performed in a highly creditable
manner, after this a portion of the St. George's re-
tired to the left side of the Long-walk about half-a
wile distant, to represent the enemy availing them-
selves of the shelter of the trees for protection. The
St. George's led on the attack, supported by the
Berkshire and Queen's in line. The skirmishing of
the St. George's was kept up with great spirit, and
after driving the enemy back about half-a-mile, and
then finding themselves so strongly opposed by them,
they were compelled in turn to retire. The Berks and
Westminster commenced a withering file fire from the
rightof companies, and having been supposed to have
checked the enemy, the order was given to prepare
to charge. This was a most exciting movement,when
each battalion was seen advancing withfixed bayonets
at the trail to meet the enemy; on the word Charge"
being given the men came to the charge, bayonets
at a steady double, cheering as they advanced and
driving all before them. After this spirited move-
ment each battalion retired, but were soon afterwards
commanded to form battalion squares to resist the
enemy's supposed cavalry, and file firing was ordered
from the right and left of squares, which was sus-
tained with great credit. After this movement the
battalions formed line, and commenced volley firing,
the Berkshire battalion sustaining their reputation
by their perfect vollies. After this proceeding, each
,battalion took ground to the rear by companies, and
the command was given to form company squares,
and commenced file firing. They were then drawn
up in close column, and Major-General afterwards
addressed the men, telling them he was happy to
say he should be able to send to the Horse Guards
and the War Office a very favourable account of
the proceedings.
The weather was beautifully fine. The time, to-
wards the evening, being well chosen, the magnificent
spot selected, with the immense number of spectators,
formed altogether a most interesting and imposing
sight. The ground was kept by the 2d battalion of
Coldstream Guards. At the conclusion the Guards,
headed by their bands, returned to Windsor, where
they had a respite previous to their return to town,
which allowed them to witness the finish of Eton

Truro, and composed of coachmakersbliecotitorsP
and upholsterers, was inspected on Saturday evening
in Regent's Park by Colonel Ibbettson, inspector of
volunteers. There were four companies present of
24 file, or 260 of all ranks, including bands. The
inspector arrived on the ground, which had previ-
ously been cleared by the 3d Middlesex Artillery, at
eight o'clock, and the manoeuvres commenced imme-
diatety. On this occasion marching past was dig_
pensed with, and the men were exercised in the
usual movements of battalion drill, file and volley
firing, skirmishing, and forming squares to receive
cavalry.

At the conclusion Colonel IBBETTSON addressed
the corps, which he said well deserved the title of a
crack metropolitan regiment. The corps had
manoeuvred according to his instructions, and he
had not discovered a single mistake. He observed
great steadiness and attention in the ranks, and the
officers thoroughly understood their drill. lle was
very well pleased indeed, and should have great
pleasure in reporting the efficient state of the corps
most favourably to the Secretary of State.
Cheers were given for the gallant inspector, for
Lord Truro, and for the 3d Middlesex Artillery
who kept the ground, a duty which the West Lon-
don have promised to do for them on the 12th of
August.
The two corps then marched home, headed by
their respective bands.

THE NATIONAL ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION.
The first prize meeting of this association, which
which has been formed under Royal and distin-
guished patronage, to afford that encouragement to
volunteer artillery practice which the National Rifle
Association has given to small arms, Ononivi

volunteer artillery Companies took *up lodgings in
tents, within the boundaries of the Government
practice-ground. The War Office authorities have
very kindly granted the free use of camps and the
grounds, and the volunteers, on entering Shoebury-
ness, found all the tents erected by the men of the
Royal Artillery, between whom and the volunteers
there are the best feelings subsisting. The men of
the Royal Artillery were ready to give every infor-
mation to the volunteers, and between the officers
of the two services a complete entente cordiale has
been established.

The detachments availing themselves of the pri-
vilege of encamping and shooting for the prizes—
among which are prizes from the Queen, the Prince
of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and Lord Pal-
merston, include the members of regiments from all
parts of the country ; and among those who had
taken up camp quarters were the following artillery
corps :-Ist Essex, Ist Sussex, 2d Sussex, Ist A
Cinque Ports, Ist B Cinque Ports, Ist C Cinque
Ports, 2d Cinque Ports, 4th Cinque Ports, Ist and
12th Kent, 3d Durham, 4th West York, Ist Mid-
dlesex, and 2d Middlesex. The 3d Middlesex,
which used to be a large corps, whatever it is now,
is conspicuous only by its absence.
The members of the different corps began to ar-
rive early in the morning, and by the afternoon de-
tachments from the country began to march into
Southend in soldierly order, with knapsacks on their
backs and that regard to detail which marks the
well-disciplined corps. In that, so well organised
and military did the different detachments look,
that not a few of the inhabitants of the town were
debating among themselves what inducement in the
shape of pay the volunteers had to come, for, with
the customary views of some of the " nation of
shopkeepers," they could not comprehend the fact
that men could find pleasure and holiday in perfect-
ing themselves in duty for their country.
It only remains to be said that the arrangements,
which were made by Captain Rutley, the secretary,
for the comfort of the men, were all that could be
desired, and the men, encamped on a place which in
respect to the amusements of the town is a wild
waste, appeared joyous in anticipation of fine
weather and a week's enjoyment at the sea-side in
their volunteer duties.
