Bth, King's Own, Regiment, recently returned from
India, had been previonsky, 6pected. during the
the forenoon by his Royal Highness at Gosport,

where the regiment is quartered. The troops,

headed by their respective bands, marched to the
common at the time appointed, 3 p.m., and formed

in columns of companies, with the Artillery on the
right, the whole under the command of Lord W.
Paulet, C.B. At 3.40 p.nr. his Royal Highness,
attended by a staff of mounted officers, arrived in
front of the line, and was received by a general
salute. After a close inspection, particularly of the
mounted batteries, the troops marched past in quick
and slow time. A variety of manoeuvres followed,
which were closely criticised by his Royal Highness,
who praised the marching of the Ist battalion of
the 11th Regiment, and more than once found fault
with the volley-firing of the whole body, The Ar-

tillery of the 10th brigade were marched to South-
sea Castle, and made some good practice with shot and .
shell. The inspection lasted until nearly 6 p.m. At
the close of the inspection of the troops his Royal
Highness, on his return into the garrison,
?went to the Spur Redoubt and inspected the 2d
Hants Volunteer Artillery, who were drawn up at
the five 32-pounders mounted there for the pm pose,
under their commandant, Major S. Hall, and the
Government Artillery Inspector, Capt. Rogan.
His Royal Highness was accompanied by Lord W.
Paulet, C. 8., and a large military staff. As it was
past sunset only two rounds were fired from each
gun. His Royal Highness then expressed his gra-
tification at what he had seen, declaring that all

had been admirably done, and that the gun drill of
the corps was very satisfactory, Then, turning to
bapt. Rogan, R.A., the drill instructor, his Royal
Highness said that " no corps could surpass them."
His Royal Highness, attended by his suite, then
left the battery. This is, we believe, the first Vo-
lunteer Artillery corps that has been inspected at
their guns by the Duke.
The 22d company of Royal Engineers, whose
arrival from the Mauritius was reported in the Sun
