NAVAL AND MILITARY 11V7ELLIGENCB.

Yesterday, at 11 o'clock, the 42d (Royal High'
and, the Black Watch) Regiment, under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Col. J. C. M•Leod, was draws up
in line on the General Parade, South Camp, and
inspected by Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir Janie°

tion of his regiment.
The new iron pier which is being constructed at
the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, is making rapid pro-
gress towards completion. The pier will be 290 ft.
long, with a bead 50ft. long by 40ft. wide. lII°
approach, which is 24ft. wide, is composed of silt
spans of 48 ft. The principal features in its C 011"
struction are two main longitudinal wrought iron
girders, which run from end to end of the nP:
proach, and thus securely tie in the head of the Plc;
to the wharf. The roadway, which i 3 for three
lines of rails converging to a turntable at the he311(l,
is carried by cross trussed girders of wr"gn
iron. All the foundations consist of wrought o
cylinders of 21t. to 2ft. 4iu. in diameter, seiewl-,h
into the bed of the river. They are filled wl'es
Portland cement concrete, which greatly iecrea,sbe
the solidity of the foundations. The piles at d
head average 47ft. in length, and are scre',,
Bft. into the gravel bed of the river. The fouea
tions for carrying a 30-ton steam crane at the hell_
of the pier are being prepared. They are of eeelo
mous strength, consisting of a 7-feet cast ireto
cylinder, filled with concrete, and lowered Bft•
the bed of the river ; on the top of this cylinder h
crane post, also of cast iron, is to be placed, wincitt
will carry the steam crane. The depth of water t.
r
the head of the pier will be 18ft at low and 3;f
re
at high water ; the largest transports can thereri`nhe
be brought alongside at all times of the tide. 'of
approach and head are calculated to carry guns
50 tons, and the steam crane, designed by the suPse
rintendeut of machinery, Royal Arsenal, for 30 °l
can be strengthened, if desired, to lift the greaser
. er
weight. It is in contemplation to increase the Oft,
head next year 175 ft. Its length then will be 300 d,
and two 13-ton hydraulic cranes are to be provideis
one on each side of the 30-ton steam crane. It
to be regretted that this extension has not been
ordered to be carried out while the contractors
have their plant on the ground, more espeeiallla,
such a course would be attended with less exile%
The contractors are the Hatniltons
Works), of Liverpool, who deserve great credit ill
the good workmanship and materials employedos
the undertaking. The necessity for this pier
arisen from the great difficulties which are now ece
perienced in landing and shipping heavy ordean.e:
armour plates, and stores. The timber T pier, vi„%,
(Windsor illivor
was built in great haste during the Crimean ",t-e'
shows signs of weakness when 12k-ton guns ter
taken over it; it has therefore been decided, a`.ed
due consideration; to limit the weight to be earrir,
by it to ten tons. The transfer of the greater Peal
tion of the stores from the Tower to the -63135
Arsenal and the late Clothing Store, Woolwich/
also rendered it necessary to provide greater 10;0
lities for the shipment of warlike stores. In tlly
of war this pier will be invaluable, more eslieni.,,,Ll
when it is placed in direct communication by
with the South Eastern Railway.
f the
Yesterday the whole of the batteries 0

march, in heavy marching order ; they took ,t‘rei..
departure by way of Shooter's-hill, through " h
ling, &c., and returned to Woolwich throe;
Plumstead.
