WINSLOW HALL, Winslow, Bucks, having
been recently opened and fitted with requisites for
the care and comfort of the INSANE, the proprietor, Dr.
BOISRAGON, announces that he has transferred his Estab-
lishment from Birmingham to the above desirable residence,
easily accessible, and distant from London about an hour
and a-half by, the London and North-Western line, and fit ty
minutes from Oxford. Attached.to the mansion, situated on
a sandy soil, and commanding an extensive and pleasing
prospect, are garden, meadow, plantation, and recreation
grounds. For terms and forms of admission address the

experiments were commenced. In the case of shots
which have struck the extreme Etidge, the plate in
the immediate locality is slightly bent, while a
minute examination fails to detect the least appear-
ance of lamination, showing the plate to be in all
respects perfect. The same kind of experiments.
were also made with one of the half-inch ordinary
iron " skin" plates of the Bellerophon, and in this
case also the results were equally satisfactory. As
in the trials with the steel plates the ranges at which
the half-inch iron plate was tested varied from 50
yards to 300 yards, but in no case does the slightest
appearance of the plate being penetrated present
itself, the majority of the shots making indents only
about one-sixteenth of an inch. The results of the
trials establish the superiority of the iron of which
the Bellerophon's plates are made.
The Secretary of State for War has decided that
the cavalry barracks at Norwich must be given up
at the expiration of the lease in 1866, there being no
necessity for retaining them after that period.
The division at Aldershott under the command of
•Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Pennefather, K.C.8., was
formed up for field manoeuvres on Ellmoor-hill at
ten o'clock on Wednesday morning in line of con-
tiguous columns at quarter distance, and after in-
spection and marching past was disposed in order of
battle to check the progress of an enemy advancing
from Portsmouth via Farnham, and already in pos-
session of the formidable position of Caesar's Camp.
The enemy was found to be particularly strong
in cavalry, and to meet this arm tilt; 3d, Bth,
and 14th Hussars were brought forward. These
troops made some splendid charges, in which they
were well supported by the fire of the artillery, then
feigned a retreat, and the infantry was thrown into
square to resist the rush of the enemy's cavalry.
A rapid file-fire was then commenced from the
right and left of faces, which threw the enemy into
confusion, and the cavalry, supported by the ar-
tillery, again charged. After a few more manoeuvres
by the infantry, " ceasing firing" was sounded, a
general advance was made, and the enemy was
driven broken and defeated over Hungry-hill, to-
wards Farnham. The force on the field consisted of
D Battery, Royal Horse artillery, F and B Batteries,
9th Brigade Royal Artillery, 3d, Bth, and 14th Hus-
sars, 2d Battalion Grenadier Guards, Ist Battalion
13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, Ist Battalion
17th Regiment, Ist Battalion 21st Royal Scots Fusi-
leers, 31st, 69th, 74th, 85th, and 92d Regiments.
The movements were exceedingly interesting, and
were witnessed by a large number of spectators.
The 63d (West Suffolk) Regiment, under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Col Carter, has arrived at Aldershot
Camp, and occupies quarters in the East Infantry
Barracks. The marching-in strength was 25 officers
47 sergeants, 17 drummers, 471 rank and file, 77
women, and 116 children.
