Naval and Military Intelligence.

Field Marshal the Duke of Cambridge, IC.G., the
General Commanding in Chief, is expected to make
his annual visit of inspection of Portsmouth and the
South West District about the middle of the present
month. The condition of many of the foi is and
lines of defence immediately around Portsmouth
will no doubt receive, as they deserve at the present
time, from his Royal Highness much more than the
customary amount of consideration and attention
bestowed upon them on annual inspections.
The Nelson, 72, unarmoured screw line-of-battle
ship, 2,736 tons, 500 horse power, Commander
Chas. B. Payne, has steamed out of Portsmouth
harbour, at the close of her outfit for service at Vic-
toria, and anchored at Spithead to take in ammu-
nition and a few surplus stores previous to leaving
England for her destination.
The Torch, 5, screw gunvessel, 428 tons, 80
horse power, Commander Geo. A. Douglas, arrived
at Spithead yesterday at noon, under sail by the
Needles channel, and before a fresh N.W. breeze,
from the West Coast of Africa, 41 days from Ascen-
sion. The Torch anchored at Spithead to await
orders from the Admiralty, but is expected to pro-
ceed to Sheerness to be dismantled and paid out of
commission. She experienced fine weather between
Ascension and Fayal, with strong winds on nearing
the Channel and to Spithead.
The trial of the Viper double screw gunboat,
appointed to come off yesterday morning, was post-
poned again, owing to the prevailing excessive
strength of the wind. The trial of her rival vessel,
the hydraulic Waterwitch, which is to follow that
of the Viper, has necessarily been postponed from
to-day for the same reason.
Her Majesty's steam screw troopship Serapis, Capt.
Soady, embarks her first batch of Indian troops for
conveyance to Alexandria on Tuesday next, and
sails from Portsmouth on the following day. Among
the troops she will embark are the 4th Hussars, now
at Exeter. It appeared the easiest method to allow
the Serapis to call at Plymouth for the Hussars
rather than allow the latter to take the longer route
by rail to Portsmouth to the Serapis, and a request
to this effect is understood to have been made by
the War Department to the Admiralty Department.
Here, however, as a matter of course, the usual
" war of departments" breaks out, and the Admiralty
Department carry the day by a coup d'etat in a
communication to the " opposite establishment,"
that the 4th llussars must go to Portsmouth from
the West of England, for the Serapis shall not cal
in at the west for the 4th.

The 70th (the Surrey) Regiment, under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Col. Win. Cooper, is under orders
to leave Aldershot this day; head-quarters to Ash-

ton, Bury, and Carlisle.
Rumours were current yesterday at Aldershot
with regard to the departure of troops for the north
of England, consequent on the Fenian alarm
throughout that part of the country. Up to the hour
of writing, however, but one regiment (the 70th)
was under orders. The regiments anticipating the
route are the 54th, 56th, and 86th, and 72d High-
landers.

The East Cavalry Barracks at Aldershot will be
occupied for the winter by C, D, and E batteries of
the Royal horse Artillery. The batteries are under
oiders to move into the barracks as soon as the
stables become ready for their occupation.
The 43d Light Infantry, in the North Camp,
Aldershot, will move in to the East Infantry Barracks

on Friday next.
Her Majesty's Indian troopship Malabar, which
left Portsmouth for Bombay on July 27, arrived at
the latter port on Sept. 28, all well, and would be

ready to embark the first troops coming from Born-
bay by the overland route. The Euphrates embarked

at Suez, on the 4th inst., the troops for Calcutta

which went to Alexandria in the Crocodile, and
sailed for Calcutta.

Another Attempt to Rescue Prisoners in
Clerkenwelle

A most desperate and determined attempt to
rescue prisoners from custody during their transit
from the Session-house to the prison van was made
last night by a mob of " roughs" at Clerkenwell-
green. It appears that about half-an-hour after
the court had adjourned for the day the police made
a circle round the door where the prisoners come
out, and the van was driven up and backed close to
it. A mob of between 200 and 300 persons had
collected, and their demeanour was most threatening.
The female prisoners who had been convicted during
the day were then commenced to be removed, and,
I notwithstanding the strong body of police, who were
under the direction of an able superior, several of
the "roughs," who were of the worst description,
broke through the line, and before they could be
prevented nearly succeeded in rescuing a woman,
who, it was understood, had been sentenced to a long
term of confinement. The police, however, behaved
courageously, and succeeded in forcing them back.
No sooner had the line been re-formed than a second
and more desperate attempt was made. Five
"roughs" succeeded in se:zing hold of one of the
prisoners, named Alice Turner, who had been con-
victed of attempting to steal from the person, and
sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. The
police immediately closed with them, and a struggle
ensued. One of the offenders, who says ho is the
husband of the woman, struck Warder Crawley in
the face, and struggled with him for the release of
the prisoner. She was with some difficulty got into
the van, and the door was locked. The roughs,
finding their efforts fruitless, made their escape.
The police, however, succeeded in detaining one of
their body, who was with some difficulty conveyed
to the police station, where he was charged with
assaulting the warder, and attempting to rescue a
prisoner. He was locked up, and was to be brought
before the magistrate this morning (Wednesday.)
It is not long since that the learned assistant-judge,
Sir William Henry Bodkin, drew the attention
publicly of the authorities to the inadequacy of
accommodation for the proper discharge of the
duties. Only a few months ago a band of roughs
made a set upon the prison van containing a noto-
rious ruffian named " Badger," who was sentenced
to 10 years' penal servitude. The officer at that
time was struck with brickbats and other missiles,
and had the presence of mind to lock the door and
give the key to the officer on duty inside. The
scenes daily occurring when the sessions are on
seriously demand the attention of the proper
authorities.

RAILWAY LVTELLIGENCE.

TEIGN VALLEY.

An adjourned meeting of this company was held
at Newton Abbott on Monday, Sir L. Palk, M.P.,
in the chair, for the purpose of considering the
scheme of arrangements between the company and
their creditors under the Railway Companies Act,
1867.

The CHAIRMAN said the directors, since the last
meeting, had had to consider fresh details of the
scheme, which he believed would prove more advan-
tageous to the interests of the shareholders and cre-
ditors than any yet submitted. Tney had not, how-
ever, been able to complete those arrangements, and
therefore he proposed that the meeting should be
further adjourned to the 28th inst. What they pur-
posed was to raise sufficient money to complete the
line, and to defray all claims paid byparties in cash on
behalf of the company. The directors believed that
when this was done and the line completed the mort-
gage upon the works would be so light as to afford
every probability of there being a return to those
who bad subscribed towards the undertaking. When
the line was completed from Teign-house to Jews-
bridge their shares, which were now valueless, and
could not be disposed of in the market, would, he
was assured, become valuable property.
Mr. C. LANGLEY seconded the motion for ad-

journment, and it was agreed to.
Mr. EDwanns, who had been engaged by the
company to facilitate the completion of those ar-
rangements, said the scheme would include two
ctisscs of creditors. The first would be in respect
.f c.wh ittivauoca, nut they wuulti Lt tho first to be
paid, and the second would be treated as ordinary
creditors. The directors since the last meeting had
been in communication with capitalists, and they
had also submitted their scheme, and he understood
it was highly approved. There was every reason
to believe, therefore, that the necessary money
would be raised for the completion of the line.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.

CHRISTCHURCH AND BOURNEMOUTH.
This line was expected to be opened in the summer
of 1865, but it is not yet completed. The works,
however, are progressing, though slowly. The line
is staked out for nearly the whole distance, and the
cutting for a single line of rails is made for about
three miles. It has proceeded beyond Podesdown,
and here the road archway over the rails is nearly
finished. Hopes are entertained that it may be
opened for traffic in the spring of next year.
