THE EXCELSIOR MUSICAL SOCIETI

Last night .the annual festival of this society took
place at the Georg 3 Hotel, Aldermanbury. The
president, J. Gi!lard, Esq., .occupied the chair,
supported by Mr. Haynes, the vice-president, and
the leading members of the society. The tables
were beautifully decorated with flywers. A hand-
some dinner, which embraced all the delicacies of
the season, having been discussed, the President
gave the usu 11 loyal toasts, which were very
loyally respended to. In proplsi►)g the toast of
the evening, " Sue_cess to the Excelsior Soiciety,"
he said it was highly gratifying to find that suc-
cess and prosperity still attended their society ;
Lihir members had increased and so had their reserve
fund. The great object the society had hi view was
the extending and cultivating a taste for pure and
beautiful melody, and it was satisfactory to find
their exertions hal been highly appreciat.3. Ile
felt extremely pLa7ed at the results that hal
attended the society f,•om year to year, as it proved
the simple beautici of thi C.ty Excelsior far out-

ivaled those offered by other plac a where vulgarity,
and he was afraid he might say something worse were
the chief attractions. Their success, he was sure,
would be the means of inducing the furmation of
new societies similar to their own, and he was sure
they would all feel pleased to see the object for
which the members of the Excelsior had banded them-
selves together to extend itself, as it would prove
most conclUsively that good taste was in the ascen-
dant. (Cheers.) They had a very excellent exe-
cutive committee and an indomitable secretary—
(cheers)---!and with these strong supports there was
every prospect of the Excelsior becoming that which
he most strongly desired—namely, a great society.
The toast was enthusiastically responded to. "The
executive committee and the hon. secretary" was the
next toast, and `Zr. Hatch returned thanks. He said
he could not say how gratified he felt at the suc-
cessthat had attended their society ; it was one of
his pet objects, and he could only say whilst he
possessed the confidence and good wishes of the
members he should think his toil for the Excelsior a
pleasure. (Cheers.) The "health of the Chairman"
was proposed in very neat terms by Mr. Haynes,
and, in ackuowledging the compliment, the Chair-
man said ho thanked them all very much for their
kindness, and he should look forward to their re-
' assembling in September next with the greatest in-
terest and delight. During the evening Mr. H.
Gillard, Mr. Frankland, and several other members
sang some of their best songs, and Mr Hidden ren-
dered the evening still more pleasurable by his ex-
cellent pianoforte playing.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The half-yearly inspections were resumed at Alder-
shot on Wednesday. In the morning six troops of
the Military Tr,,in, under the command of Major
Buller, finned up iu complete marching order, and
were inspected in line by Major Gen. White, C. 8.,
commanding the Cavalry Brigade. They then
marched past in ope 3 column of troops, and were put
hrough Eeveral movements. The Major-G-en. next
inspected the kits, barrack rooms, and the whole
internal economy of the corps ; also the recruits,
cart-horses, and remounts. On Wednesday Major-
Gen. Lysons, C. 8., commanding the Ist Infantry
Brigade, concha led his inspection of the Ist
Battalion 12th (East Suffolk) Regiment. The
battalion was formed oa the regituentAl parade
at 10 o'clock, when it was inspected in opea
column by the General. At 2 o'clock the rci;i-
mcnt formed up on the General Parade, South
Camp, when it marched past an I was exercised
in numerous battalion movements. On Tuesday,
during a heavy fall of rain, the 2d Battalion 2d
(Queen's) Regiment formed up under the veran-
dah of the West Block Permanent Barracks, when
it was inspected in open column of companies by
Major-General Carey, C. 8., and the subaltern
officers were tested in company and other branches
of drill. The internal economy of the regiment was
also examined. At each inspection the smart ap-
pearauce, steady discipline, and thorough efficiency
of the men won a favourable verdict from the in-
specting General.
.Yesterday Major-General Lyons, C. 8., com-
menced his_ half-yearly inspection of the Ist Bat-
talion 25h Itigintaut at Al lershot,. The battalion,
under the command of Colonel 11. T. Walker, was
formed up on the regimental parade at 10 o'clock,
in marching order. Shortly afterwards the Major-
General, attended by his Staff, arrived and inspected
the battalion iu open column of companies, after
which it was marched to quarters, and the inspect-
ing-general examined some field and full kits, the
men's dinners, the huts, canteen, library, and.
sergeants' mess. lie will conclude his inspection
of the regiment to-day. (Friday).
A company of the 2d Battalion Welsh Fusiliers
arrived at Aldershot Camp on Wednesday of ternoon
from Wales, and went under canvas on the green
in front of the Club-house.

Five heavy nine-inch guns, which, with the car-
riage and platform, will weigh about 20 tons each,
are being placed in the llubbertson fort by the men
of the Royal Artillery stationed at Pembroke, and
the work is likely to be completed in the course
of about a week.

Yesterday the Ist Battalion 20th (East Devon-
shire) Regiment, at Aldershot, was inspected by
Major-General Carey, C.B. The regiment, under
the command of Colonel A. H. Cobbe, and in com-
plete marching order, formed up in line on the re-
gimental parade, East Block. Shortly after the
formation the Major-General, with his Staff, ar-
rived, and was received with the usual salute.
After inspecting the regiment most minutely it was
formed into square four deep, and the Major-
General addressed the men in complimentary terms.
The following order has been published, as di-
rected by the Horse Guards, relative to the punish-
ment of drunkenness in the army :—" First and
second acts, admonition or confinement to barracks,
