NAVAL AND MILITARY INTEL-
LIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—This being the anniver-
sary of her Mijpsty's coronation, the troops composing
the garrison were formed on Siuthsea common at twelve
o'clock in contiguous columns, quarter distance, to fire a
feu de joie in honour of the occ tsion, in the following
order:—The Royal Artillery, with six field-pieces; the
Royal Sappers and Miners, the Royal Marines, the 77th
Regiment, the 91st Regiment, the Royal Marine Artil-
lery, with six field-pieces.
The whole of the bands (as one) were stationed on the
right of the line. Major-General Lord Frederick Fitz-
clarence and staff arrived on the ground shortly before
the above hour, when the troops deployed into line,
formed open column, and marched past his Lordship in
quick time, the bands playing the Grenadiers' March.
The line having resumed their original deployment fired
the first round of the feu de joie, the artillery seven
guns; the line then fired, and seven more guns by the
Marine Artillery followed; and the second and third
rounds were fired in a similar manner. The line then
advanced and presented arms, the bands playing " God
save the Queen." Three cheers were then given by the
line, the general acting as fuglenaan. The troops then
went through sundry reviewing manceuvres under his
Lord,hip's direction, which occupied about two hours,
to the gratification of many thousands of spectators of
all grades, who had come from far and near to witness
ness the interesting events of the day. The ships in
harbour and at Spithead dressed at an early hour, and
saluted at noon as usual.
The Royal yachts are this day ready for sea and are
moored at their summer buoys in the harbour. They
were taken out to day round Spithead for trial. Both
are in a high state of efficiency and most elegantly re-
fitted. They %rill be brought into requisition for the ser-

CRICKET.
COUNTY OF SURREY V. COUNTY OF SUSSEX.

More than a quarter of a century has passed since
these two counties have been arrayed against each other
on the cricket field, and therefore the present match ex-
cited far more than the usual amount of interest. In the
course of yesterday there was a large quantity of fine
play exhibited by the different competitors, much to the
gratification of the numerous spec:ators who bad as-
sembled at the Oval to witness the respective efforts of
the antagonists. When time was called the score stood
as follows, by which it will be seen that upon the first
innings Sussex headed Surrey by 23 runs. When the
third wicket of Surrey fell the score was 55:

a rather numerous muster of spectators to the Green
Man, Leytonstone, to witness the race between S. Driver

Shortly after six the men were ready at the scratch, and
after a tow minutes spent in feints, they left the mark

PRESENTATION OF PENINSULAR 111EDALS.—BIR-
MINGIIAM, Turrnsas.Y.—To•day the interestingthis s
cere-
monyditrci
of presenting the veterans residing
with the medals to which they are entitled i
by their ser-
vices in the Peninsular campaigns took place in the
barrack-yard of this town. At o'clockhalfiastexeleeevneenntst
about 300 pensioners were reviewedn
by Major Bamford, the presence of Colonel Scarlet,e,
in
after which the Gallant Major distributed the medals to
all those who were able to attend. Colonel Scarlet then
briefly addressed the men, observing that he regretted
very much that Colonel Arbuthnot had been unable to
attend to distribute the prizes; but, in his absence, ha
rejoiced that it had fallen upon him (Colonel Scarlet) to
be present. lie always rejoiced at having an opportu-
nity of expressing the admiration ho felt, in common
with every officer in the British army, when he looked
upon those brave men who had passed their days in the
service of their country. He was glad their gallant
deeds had been rewarded, although so long delayed. He
was sure there was not a man present who would not
blush to do wrong while he wore upon his breast the
medal of his Queen. As a cavalry officer, he could not
be supposed to bo so good a judge of infantry movements
as others; but, from all he had seen, he was bound to
say that nothing could appear to him more steady and
correct than their movements that day. Be was sure
whenever their services were required they would cheer-
fully give them for the benefit of their Queen and
country. Three hearty cheers for the Queen, and then
for Colonel Scarlet, were proposed by Major Bamford,
and enthusiastically responded to by the veterans; after
which they marched off the ground.
