THE ARMY.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has
announced his intention of making an inspection of
the whole of the troops now quartered at Chatham
garrison this morning. The review will take place
on Chatham lines, where the entire force of the gar-
rison will be drawn up to await the arrival of his
Royal Highness.
An official notification has been received at Chat

am of the appointment of Mr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8.,
nspector-general of hospitals, principal medical
officer at Fort Pitt, and one of the hon. surgeons to
hor Majesty, to the head of the invalid establish-
ment and sanatorium which has been established at

the Cape of Good Hope, for the reception of the
sick and wounded troops serving in China. The
successor of Dr. Taylor at Fort Pitt has not yet
been officially announced.
Yesterday the whole of the men composing the
10th depot battalion, stationed at Colchester, and
numbering nearly 2,000 rank and file, under the
command of Col. Street, C. 8., had a grand field-day
upon the extensive parade ground at Middlewick.
The men, who are chiefly young recruits, and hare
joined their respective depots within the past 12
months, passed through their exercises in a satis-
factory manner.
Major-Gen. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., Adjutant-
Gen eral of the Army, and late Lieutenant-Governor
of Portsmouth, has given orders for the erection, at
his own private cost, of a handsome drinking foun-
tain over a celebrated spring on Southsea-common
—the exercising ground of the troops of the garri-
son, and the favourite summer promenade of the
civilians—as a testimonial of his kelings and good
wishes towards the inhabitants generally, engen-
dered during the period of his command.
Intelligence having been received that the 31st
(Huntingdonshire) Regiment has been despatched
from Poonah to China, orders have been received at
the depot, Chatham Garrison, for 102 non-commis-
sioned officers and men to be held in readiness to
embark for China to reinforce the service companies.
The subalterns oreered to embark with the rein-
forcements are—Ensign I. Parsons and Ensign G.
M. Lambert. The 31st depot at Chatham is up-
wards of 300 strong, and recruits are still joining.
The service companies have been in India since
1853.

The Waterford Militia Artillery, stationed in the
Portsmouth garrison district, are ordered to be held
in readiness to embark for Waterford, for the pur-
pose of being disembodied between the 23d and 30th
inst. This regiment musters under 300 rank and
file.

The Royal Wiltshire Militia, consisting of about
32 officers and 585 men, are under orders to proceed
from Dover to Devizes, for the purpose of being
also disembodied between the 23d and 30th inst.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Dety.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CRI'ELTT TO THE SHEEP IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS.—
Michael Casey, an errand boy, was charged before Mr.
Beadon with ill-treating the sheep in Kensington-gardens.
Edwards, park constable 57, said that at half. past five
the previous afternoon, while on duty in Kensington-gar-
dens, a gentleman came to him and told him that some boys
were cruelly ill-treating some sheep, and on his going to
the spot he found the prisoner and three others beating the
sheep over their heads and legs with thick sticks in a very
brutal manner. [The park-keeper here produced a thick
rail which he took from the prisoner.] He managed to
secure the prisoner, but the others escaped. It was a
practice of daily occurrence, and many complaints were
made of the conduct of the boys.

Mr. Beadon said it was a monstrous and abominable
practice, and he should do his utmost to stop it. He should
therefore commit him for seven days with hard labour.
ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE BY A "WOODEN-LEGGED
MAN.—John Griffith, a wooden-legged man, was charged
with assaulting Sergeant Appleton and a constable of the
C division by striking them about the head with his fist,
and also severely kicking them with his wooden leg while
on the way to the station, using at the same time very bad
language.

Mr. head on said the prisoner had made use of that which
was an object of pity (the prisoner being a crossing sweeper)
as a weapon of offence against the police. He should com-
mit him for seven days.
