NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Duke of Cambridge went down to Wool wieh
yesterday merniug, and was present during a variety
of experiments to as.lertain the best agent for
lubricating cartridges, so as to adopt a medium
be ween the wax and grease at present in use. His
It ,yal Highness rode down to the experiment
ground (the Plumstead Marsh) at 10 o'clock,
where General Williams, comtn tuding the garrison
tunt!tnsr, miti. sA5l4' ErarieTs- ale aelitct
mitt -e of the Royal Arsenal, were as,embled for
the purpose of cummen.iing the operation 3. At 1
o'clock General Williams and the officers on service
in the garrison proceeded to the common to attend
a b:igade of the troops. Accordingly five battalions
of infantry, in uudraaa uniforms, cornpo-e d
of the Royal Artillery, Royal Marines, the Elst
Kent awl Oxford Militia Regiments, three
troops of Royal Horse, and three Viel I ba--
furies of Art llery, were drawn up on the review
ground. Tlae to Ts were formed into one con-
tinuous line of battalions flanked by the Royal
Horse Artillery on the right and the field batteries
on the left, and on the arrival of the general they
performed the usual general salute, immediately
after which they were inspected throughout. The
general and staff then retired to the front when
the thtee tr .ops commenced marching past,
and were followed ly the infantry and field bat-
teries in open columns of divisions. They then
opened out, and advanced to the upper part of the
ground, where, having gained the aclivity of the
lge, the infantry and foot artillery took up their
position, supported by the mounted corps, and the
guns were placed in action, an enemy being sup-
posed to be in the distance near the town. A
sharp encoiniter shortly afterwards took place
between the Royal Horse Attillery and the
vanguard of the imaginary foe. After a certain
amount of firing they ware supposed to be
overpowered and repulsed, as they hurriedly lim-
b -red up and retreated at cloe intervals. The field
batteries then advanced on each flank of the batta-
lions, when the whole fore s came into ac-ion in
froth, a long lme of skirmi,hers charging the enemy
wider cover of the 24-pound howitzers and 9-poun-
de- brass guns belour.ring to the field batteries.
The skirtni,hers were then called in, and the main
body of inf "'try advanced by battalion,. At thit
point the enemy were supposed to be driven back,
when they suddenly rallied and charged their flank.
The battalions then broke in o open co!uinn,l, in
order to allow the Horse Artillery to come again
into action. After a short interval they retreated
at full °iiadep to the top of the hill, halted, and
formed into close columns when the whole force
commenced rty.iring from the field and returned to
head-quarters. General Sir W. F. Williams was
a,tended by Colonel Biugharn, Assistant-Adjutant-
General of the Royal Artillery ; Lieut.-Colonel
Henry, commanding the Ridino,houie establish-
ment ; Major Penn, and the usual garrison staff.
A second ha,talion for the 23d Welsh Fusileers
is about to be raised in Wale.. The head-quarters
