THE CAMP AT CROBHAM COMMON.

•
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the
other Royal children now staying at Windsor Castle
paid a visit to the camp yesterday, arriving about
1 o'clock. Their Royal Highnesses came through
Colonel Challoner's grounds and passed across the com-
mon to the Magnet-hill, where they were received by
Major Colborne, aide-de-camp to Lord Seaton, by whom
they were conducted through the Queen's Pavillion, and
afterwards accompanied the Royal carriage along the
lines of the encampment, close to the tents, at a walk-
ing pace. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards went to
Higham, Lord Seaton's quarters, and thence, at 3
o'clock, returned to Windsor Castle.
The operations of the troops yesterday were confined
to Virginia Water, where the pontoon bridge was again
thrown over the lake for the passage of such of the regi-
ments as b d
a not an opportunity of crossing it on Tuesday
last, After an early parade the several regiments men-
tioned in the division orders—viz. the Ist Life Guards,
the 17th Lancers, the 13th Light Dragoons, the 38th
Foot, the 93d Highlanders, and the Royal Artillery,
marched from the camp, under the command of his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, direct for Vir-
ginia Water. The foot regiments crossed Catlin's-valley
and marched through Colonel Challoner's grounds, the
cavalry and artillery passing down the Staines-road, and
by that route arriving at the Wheatsheaf entrance of
the Royal property. The only object of the troops
going to Virginia Water yesterday being to practise
them in the mode of crossing a pontoon-bridge, no am-
munition was served out and no fighting took place.
The foot regiments crossed the bridge first—especial
care being taken by the officers to prevent the men
" keeping step." After the bridge had been well
covered with heather the passage of the artillery and
cavalry was commenced. With the artillery some diffi-
culty occurred, owing to the restiveness of the horses
attached to some of the guns. One animal in its
struggles actually fell into the water, after knocking
over several of the sappers and miners by whom the
bridge was lined. But for the admirable manage-
ment of the artillery drivers there can be doubt
many more serious accidents would have occurred.
The cavalry crossed the bridge without accident, and all
the troops having gained the park side of the water
assembled on the upper ground—the same position occu-
pied on Tuesday last—where they went through several
manoeuvres greatly to the satisfaction of their illustrious
commander. The cavalry returned to the camp by
Blacknest-bridge, arriving at their quarters about five
o'clock. The 38th and 93d Regiments returned in the
direction of the pontoon bridge, which, on their arrival
at the bank of the lake, they found had been broken up
into " rafts." Upon these rafts the whole of the two
regiments were transported across in little more than a
quarter of an hour. Half a company went on each raft,
and without the occurrence of the slightest accident.
These regiments returned to the camp about half-past
five o'clock.
A portion of the pontoon operations were witnessed
by the Princes and Princesses of the Royal family on

Lancers yesterday prevailed as we were leaving the field,
but could not be traced to any reliable authority.
A general court-martial was held yesterday in the
mess-tent of the 93d Highlanders. Lieutenant-Colonel
D. A. Cameron, of the 42d Regiment, acted as president.
The members of the court consisted of two field officers
and one captain from the cavalry brigade and each bri-
gde of infantry. Major Norcott was the deputy judge-
advocate.
Colonel Bentinck is going on very favourably. He
still remains at Higham. No immediate danger is now
apprehended from the accident.
To-day will be the last opportunity the public will
have of seeing the troops at present encamped under
arms. A grand movement is to take place within the
lines of the encampment. Fifteen rounds of blank am-
munition were served out to each man last evening.
Major-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge will be general of the day.
There will be no evolutions on Wednesday, as on that
day the troops in camp will commence to move. Thurs-
day it is anticipated will be a grand day, far surpassing
the first day on which the troops assembled. At
least 18,000 men will be within a mile of head quarters
OD this day.

The first movement of troops commences to-day. The
detachment of Grenadier Guards stationed at head
quarters will march to Windsor at 1 o'clock, on being►
relieved by a detachment of similar strength from the
Ist Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards in camp. To-mor-
row the artillery will march out of their quarters en
route to Chatham and Woolwich.
There is no intention of deposing Lord Seaton from
the command be so worthily fills in favour of Sir Charles
Napier nor any other officer. The brigadier generals
will also retain their commands over the new troops to
be encamped.

LARGE IRON WAREHOUSE FOR MELBOURNE, AUSTRA-
LIA.—Messrs. Newton and Fuller, civil engineers, of
Plough-bridge-works, Rotherhithe, have lately designed
for Messrs. Westby and Co. London, an iron ware-
house, 300 feet long by 130 feet wide, and will be the
largest building of its kind that has ever been exported.
The roof and sides are to be formed of corrugated iron.
Sixty-four cast iron columns support the roof, all of
which are hollow. The girders connecting the columns
are made so as to form a rain-water gutter, at the same
time to support the roof and main ties. The light will
be admitted through rough plate-glass. The whole is
designed with the greatest simplicity, every part being
a duplicate one of the other. All the parts of the build•
ing, even to the foundation stones, will be shipped from
England. Messrs. Newton and Fuller are likewise de-
signing a large amount of machinery, including an iron
chimney 80 feet high, to be erected in the same building.
Mr. John Walker, of Graceehurch-streat, has taken the
contract for the warehouse.
