The last field-day of the troops at present encamped
took place yesterday. After the morning parade the
division assembled at 11 o'clock below the camp of the
Sappers and Miners, the cavalry occupying a position
on the right of the infantry, and a series of brilliant evo-
lutions was gone through in Cattlin's-valley, under the
command of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambri!lget
which lasted until half-past two o'clock, when the
troops marched back to quarters.

The Prince of Wales arrived at the camp yesterday
afternoon at a quarter-past three o'clock in an open
carriage and four. His Royal Highness alighted first
at the Queen's pavilion, and presently afterwards re-
entered his carriage, and drove along the cavalry quar-
ters, returning along the line of the Guards' encamp'
rnent until he arrived opposite to the quarters of the
Scots Fusilier Guards, where his Royal Highness
alighted and inquired for Sergeant-Major Edwards—the
non-commissioned officer who has the honour of in-
structing
the young princes gymnastic exercises. The
Prince asked the Sergeant to conduct him to his tent/
upon arriving at which his Royal Highness minutely in'
spected its internal arrangements, and, after thanking
his gymnastic preceptor for his attention, presented him
with a handsome gratuity. The Prince next inspected
the camp kitchens of the Scots Fusilier Guards, and
after tasting the soup at one of them, presented the
cooks with a sovereign. He then paid his respects
to Colonel Francis Seymour, Equerry in Waiting to
Prince Albert, who holds a command in this regiment,
on taking leave of whom his Royal Highness drove
along the whole line of the encampment, visiting the
quarters of the Sappers and Miners en route, and re-
turning down the main streets of the camp, amid the
lusty cheers of the private soldiers.
