TEE CAMP AT CJIOBHAM COMMON.

In consequence of the receipt of information of the
intended visit of her Majesty to-day, the troops did not
turn out yesterday, as was expected. Companies from
each infantry regiment were, however, busily employed
during the day in throwing up the redoubts which are
to be defended and finally blown up in presence of her
Majesty. The main redoubt is on a hill in Cattlin's
valley, opposite the centre of the encampment. Relief
parties of between three and four hundred men were
engaged up to a late hour last night in completing the
earthworks and mining the parapets. The whole of the
bands assembled at eleven o'clock on the Magnet-hill,
forming one monster military band of 280 performers,
and played a selection of overtures and favourite airs in
splendid style. Early in the next week it is expected
that a grand military concert will be gives on the occa-
sion of the visit of a number of foreign officers. Yester-
day was remarkably fine, and the large number of yisi.
tors present, the principal portion of whom were ladies,
embraced the opportunity of promenading in Regent-
street, the fashionable and picturesque lounge which
forms the main thoroughfare of the Guards' encampment.
The horses of the 4th Light Dragoons are to be
picqueted in the open air to-day, by way of experiment,
the heat of the stables being found oppressive for the
horses. It was at first intended to strip the stables of
the canvass roofs, but it has been thought better to
leave the stables standing as they are in case of wet
weather, when their shelter would be necessary. The
horses will be picqueted in rows in the same manner as
in their present stables, being secured by their collar-
chains to ropes running through picquet-posts, and they
will be located in the open spaces between the present
stables. Lots were drawn between the 4th Light
Dragoons and Bth Hussars to determine which of these
regiments should adopt the new plan, and fortune
favoured the former regiment. As an instance of the
good feeling which subsists among the different cavalry
regiments in the brigade, we may state, that an evening
or two since, the whole of the non-commissioned officers
dined together in the large settler's tent in the rear, and
leave having been kindly given by the Duke of Cam-
bridge, the festivities of the evening, were continued
until a late or rather to a somewhat early hour on the
1 following morning. .
