REVIEW OF THE TROOPS AT CHATHAM GAR-
RISON BY ,SHE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.

At a late hour yesterday evening a telegraphic de-
spatch was transaiitted from the Horse Guards to Col.
W. H. Eden, the commandant of this garrison, inti-
mating that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
Commanding-in-Chief, would visit Chatham this morning
at an early hour, for the purpose of brigading the whole
of the troops belonging to the several branches of the
service stationed at this garrison, the inspection being
undertaken with the view of testing the efficiency of
several hot i3s of troops when brigaded together. On
receivingsche intelligence Col. Eden immediately issued
the usual orders for the troops to be paraded at an
early hour this morning, in heavy marching review
order, to await the arrival of the Duke of Cambridge.
Accordingly, the whole of the duty men belonging ro
the depots at the Provisional Battalion, under the com-
mand of Colonel H. Jervis, the commandant, assembled
this morning on the general parade-ground of Chat-
ham
Barracks in review order. The corps of Royal
Engineers and the East India Co.'s Sappers and Miners,
under the command of Colonel H. Sandham, director of
the Royal Engineers' establishment, also assembled in
the square at Brompton Barracks ; and the Corps of
Marine Light Infantry, under the command of Colonel
J. A. Ploillipe, R.M., assembled at their barracks, when
the whole body marched to the great Lines, preceded by
their respective bands, and took up their poeitions.
His Royal Highness arrived at the Strood station from
London shortly before 10 o'clock, where he was received
by Colonel Eden, Major Fairfax Hansard, R.E., an I
Major G. B. Rodney, R.M. He was accompanied by
one of his aides-de-camp, Major J. H. Clifton, and also
by Colonel W. F. Forster, K.H., Deputy Adjutant-
General. A considerable number of persons congre-
gated on the platform of the station awaiting the arri-
val of his Royal Highness. On alighting from the train
the Duke, who was dressed in the uniform of a general
officer, mounted his own charger, and proceeded at once
to Chatham Lines, where the review was to take place.
On arriving at the drawbridge leading into the garrison,
a royal salute of 21 guns vas fired from the saluting bat-
tery, by a party of gunners belonging to the Etoyal Ma-
rines. Hie Royal Highness reached the lines a few
minutes after 10, where the whole of the troops were
drawn up awaiting his arrival. The depots comprising
the Provisional Battalion were in the centre of the line ';
the following regiments being rearesented at the revie .
viz.:-sth (Fusiliers), Bth (the King's), 10th, 12th, 24th,,
261 h, (Camel °woes), 27th (Inniskilling,), 29th, 321, 35th
(Royal Sussex), 37,h, 40th, 43d (Light Infantry),
45th, 52d (L'ght Infantry), 53d, 60te (Royal Rifles),
61st, 64th, 74th (Highlanders), 75th, 78th (High.
lenders), 81st, 833, 84th, 86th, and 87th (Royal Irish
Fusiliers). The Royal Engineers were drawn up on the
right, whilst the Royal Marines occupied the left; the
Medical Staff Corps, under the command of Major S. G.
Banbury, were on the extreme left. The line thus
formed by this body of troops, numbering about 4,000
men, extended half a mile.
The troops, on the arrival of the Duke of Cambridge,
presented arms, after which his Royal Highness, attended
by a numerous staff, rode slowly up and down the line,
making a careful inspection of the whole body. On
passing the Royal Marines the baud played "Rule Bri-
tannia," and the other bands of the battalions played as
the Duke passed. His Royal Highness then made an
inspection of the recruits, who were drawn up at the
rear ; and in the course of his examination made a re-
mark that the tunics of three-fourths of the men of the
Royal Engineers were too long for them. The whole of
the divisions, 23 in number, then marched past his Royal
Highuems in quick time, with bands playing and colours
flying. After accomplishing this movement they were
formed into contiguous quarter-distant columns on the
leading divisions of battalions, and opening out; again
marched past in quick time, the Engineers being first,
the line next, and after them the Royal Marines. The
troops then deployed into line on the right companies of
battalions, advanced, and retired from the right of com-
panies by files, retired, wheeled into line, and formed
into mass of contiguous quarter-die:ant column. The
manoeuvres that followed consisted of advancing in direct
echelon, form into squaretereceive cavalry, and re-form
into quarter-distant column. The troops were put
through their various movements by Col. Eden, and the
manner in which they were executed reflected the great-
est credit on the line, Engineers, and Marines, and proved
the high state of discipline of the troops at this garrison,
On the conclusion of the review his Royal Highness
formed the whole of the battalions into three aides of a
square, the regiments of the line being in the centre,
with tho Engineers and Marines on the right and left
respectively. The duke then addressed each of the bat-
talions separately, informing the troops of the Provisional
Battalion that he was very much gratified with their ap-
pearance that day, and the manner in which they had
executed the various movements had done them very
great credit ; and considering the number of soldiers se-
lected from so many different regiments, it was exceed-
ingly creditable to
.Colonel Jervis to have the corps
meler his ccommandin such an extremely satisfactory
state of discipline. H; then complimented Colonel
Sandham and the corps
of Royal Engineers on the man-
ner in which that distinguished body of troops had con-
ducted themselves that day ; after which his Royal High-
ness addressed a few words to Colonel Philips and his
" old friends the Marines," in the course of which he
spoke in high terms of the Chatham division of Marines,
who had that day fully sustained the high character they
b )re.

The whole of the troops were then marched off the
lines in the same order in which they had arrived, with
bands playing. The Duke of Cambridge and staff after.
wards partook of a dejeuner at the official residence of
Colonel Eden, and proceeded to Maidstone at 10 o'clock
for the purpose of inspecting the cavalry depot. Oa
leaving the garrison a royal salute of 21 guns was again
fired.
The review of the troops was witnessed by a large
number of spectators, notwithstanding the uncertainty
which attended it.
