THE CAMP AT CHOBITAM COMMON.

Yesterday the troops encamped at Chobham received
the first of those surprises which it is said will almost
daily try the tempers and test the smartness and abilities
of both officers and men. Let us at once allay any
alarm which may be excited by this announcement, by
stating that it was no hostile enemy which created that
sudden commotion in the camp, caused by the furious
galloping of mounted orderlies in every direction from
head-quarters. Soon after ten o'clock intelligence
reached the Adjutant-General that Prince Albert, the
patron and warm supporter of expositions of the peace-
ful arts, was then on his way from Windsor to inspect
the arrangements of this novel exhibition of the arts of
war. Forthwith the whole machinery for diffusing and
issuing orders was set in motion, and every battalion
and regiment received orders to turn out in light
marching order, and parade in front of its own encamp-
ment, for the inspection of his Royal Highness. The
alacrity with which these orders was complied with was
most creditable to the efficiency of the troops ; and
although they had indulged themselves with the hope
that the day was to be devoted to the arrangement of
the interior of their tents, and refreshing themselves
after the fatigue and rain of the previous day, the
order was received with that cheerful and ready re-
sponse so characteristic of the British forces. Shortly
after twelve o'clock his Royal Highness, accompanied
by the Duke of Saxe Cobourg Gotha, with Colonel the
Hon. C. B. Phipps, Captain the Hon. D. de Ros, and
Captain Baron Treskow, in waiting, appeared on the
common, at the extreme right of the encampment, and
was received with a royal salute from all the troops. The
prince, who was attired in civillian's costume, accompa-
nied by the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Seaton, and a
brilliant staff of field officers, rode along the entire line,
and inspected the men drawn up in front of their en-
campments. His Royal Highness, on returning, dis-
mounted and inspected the arrangement of the tents of
the infantry, and the accommodation provided for the
men. Passing on to the right wing, his Royal Highness
walked through the stables of the 6th Dragoons (the
Carabineers) and the other cavalry regiments, and made
numerous inquiries respecting the arrangements of both
horses and men. The beautiful horses of the 6th Dra-
goons were much admired by his Royal Highness. On
leaving the ground the Ist Life Guards' Band played
the National Anthem, and saluted with the usual
honours.

The line formed by the whole encampment is that of
an extensive irregular semi-circle. The centre is occu-
pied by the second infantry brigade, under Major-Gene-
ral' Mildmay Fane, and consists of the 42d Highlanders,
and the 50th and 95th. The right-centre is formed of
the first infantry brigade, under the command of Major-
General Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P., which is composed of
the 38th, 93d Highlanders, and the 2d battalion of the
Rifle Brigade. The left-centre is formed of the brigade of
the Guards, consisting of the Ist battalion of the Cold-
streams, Ist battalion of Scots Fusiliers, which, as the
younger regiment, occupies the central position in the
brigade, and lst battalion of Grenadiers. Joining the
flank of the right centre are the head-quarters. The
right wing of the army consists at present exclusively
of cavalry. The Ist Life Guards are posted on the ex-
treme right, and next to them are the 13th Light Dra-
goons, then ..the 17th Lancers, and the 6th Dragoon
Guards, or Carabineers. The left wing is formed of one
company of Sappers and Miners, one troop of Horse
Artillery, and three batteries of Royal Artillery. The
tents of the infantry are pitched by companies in columns
six deep, and to the rear of these are the officers' and
field officers' tents, canteens, kitchens, mess-rooms, and
hcispitals. In the arrangements of the cavalry, the tables
—of which there is one for each troop—are placed three
deep, and occupy the front ; the men's tents, formed in
column, are placed on the flanks of the stables. At the
rear of the stables is a line of troop officers' tents ; be-
hind these, and in the centre of the row, are the two
for the field officers, having upon each side those of the
staff officers. The mess tent and kitchens are the rear-
most. In the front of each regiment are advanced
tents for the quarter-guard, and in the rear for the rear-
guard, from which lines of sentries are thrown round
each encampment. In allotting the ground, the worst
and most uneven part appears to have fallen to the lot of
the cavalry, and in the case of the 17th Lancers the men
have been obliged to pitch their tents in the front, rather
than on the flanks, of the stables. Indeed, it appears
almost impossible for the cavalry to exercise in the im-.
mediate neighbourhood of their tents without considera-
ble risk. The principal part of the evolutions of this
portion of the army will, we believe, be at some distance
from the site which they now occupy. Each regiment,
whether of infantry or cavalry, has just sufficient front-
age allowed it to form in line, so that the length of the
encampment from the extreme right to the extreme left
is exactly the extent of the whole of the troops when in
line.

There are several elevated spots outside the line of
sentries, from which an admirable view may be obtained
of the whole encampment, and numbers of stands are
erected by private speculators upon those parts of the
road from which extensive views may be obtained.
Visitors are strictly prohibited from passing the lines of
sentries, or walking in front of the line. The scene on
the outskirts of the camp is one of considerable anima-
tion, refreshment booths have sprung up in every direc-
tion, many of them having names well known to the
frequenters of our public fairs.
With respect to the future doings of the troops,
nothing appears to be definitively known. It has been
generally supposed that some extensive field movements
will take place upon Saturday next, that being the
Waterloo-day. Those who expect to witness a grand
military spectacle upon that day will, we believe, how-
ever, be doomed to disappointment. It appears to be a
very general opinion at head-quarters, and one which
will no doubt be shared by the public, that as the Great
Duke has been removed from the scene of his earthly
victories, those annual celebrations of the 18th of June,
which were ever considered as graceful compliments to
the hero, are now uncalled for, and that their repetition,
under existing circumstances, would tend only to perpe-
tuate feelings of rivalry, which in the present day, would
Abe substituted advantageously by emulation of a peaceful
and industrial character.

It is expected that on Friday, there will be a grand
field day, and it is probable that, if the weather permits,
the operations of the troops will be witnessed by her
Majesty, orders having been given for immediately
fitting up the Royal Pavilion. A new road is also in
course of construction by the Sappers and Miners, from
a portion 'of the Windsor road, leading direct to the spot
to be occupied by the pavilion, and which will be in the
immediate vicinity of head-quarters.
We regret to hear that two of the cavalry horses, one
belonging to the Life Guards, and the other to the 13th
Dragoons, were yesterday ordered to be shot in conse-
quence of the serious injuries which they had received
in stables from the kicks of other horses, and as the ar-
rangements do not admit of having separate stalls for
the animals, it is feared that many more such casualties
may OCCIIT.

WOOLWICH, JUNE 15.—Twenty-two waggons, each
drawn by four horses, left the Royal Arsenal at eight
o'clock a.m., to-day, loaded with ammunition, and ac-
companied by an escort of Foot Artillery, for Chobham-
common, for the service of the troops encamped there.
Seven women were allowed to proceed with each of the
batteries of Royal Artillery when they marched from
Woolwich for the camp, and it is intended to have tena-
porary huts erected outside the lines for the accommoda-

tion of the married men. At the camp, the bugle is
sounded at half-past seven o'clock in the morning for
breakfast, and at ten o'clock all the troops assemble, in
light marching order, for parade. The troops dine at
twelve o'clock.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INhTITUTION.--A lecture on
"The Thames," with pictorial and vocal illustrations,
has recently been added to the other attractions of this
institution, The piincipal objects of interest on the
river are well represented by a series of dissolving views,
while the lecturer narrates the most interesting histori.
cal facts connected with the spots chosen for illustration.
A number of songs—descriptive, comic, and pathetic—
are interspersed over the more serious business of the
lecture, and are sung with good effect by Mr. Buckland.
Altogether, this is a good idea, ably carried out.
