MILITARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief hav-
ing granted permission for a portion of the corps of
Royal Engineers to take part in the Volunteer Re-
view at Dover on Easter Monday, for the purpose of
laying down and working the codes of flag and tele-
graphic signalling, as taught in the Army Signalling
School at Chatham, the first division of the field
equipment lef t headquarters, Brompton-baracks, for
Dover yesterday morning, the remainder following
to-day. The mounted portion, which left Chat-
ham yesterday, consisted of 35 non-commissioned
officers and men, with 39 horses, four telegraph
waggons, and two general service waggons, with
Lieut. B. Blood in etnimand. The Royal Engineers
take with them eight miles' length of telegraph
wires, with posts, and the necessary appliances
for laying down the telegraph to every portion
of the ground to be occupied on Monday by the
Volunteers, the whole of the wires radiating
from the spot selected for the head-quarters, in
order that every portion of the field may be
in direct communication with the General com-
manding and his Staff, which will enable
orders to be issued simultaneously to the entire
force. A considerable amount of interest is at-
tached to the proposed movements on Monday from
the circumstance. of its being the first occasion in
this country of the operations of a corps d'arnwe
being directed by means of the telegraph, al-
though in the Abyssinian campaign the electric
telegraph contributed in no inconsiderable de-
gree to the suotess of our arms. Morse's sys-
tem of telegraphy will be used on the occasion, and
the whole of the arrangements connected with the
telegraphy depar talent will be under the direction of
Capt. R. Stotherd, principal instructor in telegraphy,
at the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham,
with Major F. J. Bolton, Deputy Assistant-Quar-
termaster-General, the inventor of the system of
day and night military signalling in use in the
army. Captain J. M. 11. Maitland, Lieutenant
R. Y. Y. Armstrong, and Lieutenant D. C. Court-
ney, Royal Eugineers, and Cornet li. S. Gough,
10th Hussars (who is under instruction in military
signalling at Chatham), with the dismounted de-
tachment of Royal Engineers, will proceed from
head-quarters by railway this morning.
On Tuesday the Ist Infantry Brigade at Alder-
sho it, under ttie command of Major-Gen. 11. Ronny
—consisting of the-2d battalion 6th Regiment, under
'I -• er4. ;the 9 •
Col. 14.41,111„,,0n , -d battalion Bth, under Col.
Robertson ; and the Ist battalion 25th King's
Own Borderers—formed up on the Brigade
Parade, South Camp, at 10, and proceeded thence to
the Qacen's Pe rade, North Camp, where it marched
past in open column in grand divisions en masse of
columns, in brigade, and in doable time, with arms
at the trail. Several field movements succeeded,
after which General Renny formed the brigade
into square and bade them farewell, being about to
proceed to The Straits Settlements to take the com-
mand there. lie highly eulogised the conduct and
discipline of the brigade, and between the General
and the soldiers the regret at parting appeared to
be mutual.
