NAPAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Owing to the large arrivals of recruits at Chatham
from London, Liverpool, and the north of Ireland,
the garrison is more crowded than it has been for
several years past. During yesterday and the two
previous days nearly 300 recruits arrived in the
garrison for the purpose of joining the depot com-
panies of the Bth, 10th, 19th, 20th, 24th, 29th,
32d, 35th, 524 (Light Infantry), 53d, Gist, 70th,
75th, 81st, 83d, 84th, 94th, and 98th Regiments.
Yesterday orders were received at Chatham for
the non-commissioned officers belonging to the 2d
West India Regiments, who are now attached to
the provisional battalions, to proceed forthwith to
the West Indies for the purpose of joining the
head-quarters of their corps.
The lectures ordered by the authorities to be de-
livered weekly to the troops at Chatham are to be
discontinued, the soldiers having been directed to
attend the evening schools established at that gar-
rison for the instruction of the troops.
The freightship Orwell, 1,220 tons, Capt. E. W.
Maurice, arrived at Spit head on Tuesday night from
Sydney, New South Wales, with the head-quarters
of her Majesty's 11th Regiment, under the com-
mand of Brevet-Major E. L. Blosse, consisting of
12 officers, 213 non-commissioned officers and men,
35 wives, and 40 children. The following are the
officers :—Brevet-Major E. L. Blosse, Brevet-
Major H. F. Jenner, Captain F. T. Lyster, Lieu-
tenants It. W. Cardiff and G. T. Osborne, Ensigns
S. J. Shoat, A. Martin, and F. Armstrong, Pay-
master A. Boyd, Quartermaster D. Simpson, Sur-
geon Nesbittrileffernan, M. 8., and Adjutant P.
D. Vigore. The Orwell sailed from Sydney on the
25th of October and rounded Cape Horn on the
6th of December, previous to which she experienced
15 days easterly winds. She had contrary and
light winds since leaving Cape Horn until after
speaking the Western Islands. The Palmerston
left Sydney at the same time as the Orwell with the
remaining three companies of the regiment, under
the command of Colonel J. C. Harold. The day
before sailing from Sydney the 11th Regiment,
which has been 13 years in that colony, received a
gratifying testimonial, signed by upwards of 3,000
persons residing there. The Orwell went into
Portsmouth harbour yesterday to land her troops,
who will proceed to-day for Dover.
On Monday volunteering for the Line commenced
with the 2d Royal Lanark Regiment in Kilkenny.
The number of volunteers obtained that day was
56, of whom 20 joined the 13th Light Dragoons ;
17 the 72d Regiment ; five the 21st Regiment ;
four the 58th Regiment ; three the Royal Artillery;
two the 61st Regiment • and one each the 66th, 17th
Lancers, 14th Foot, 7th Hussars, and 16th Lan-
cers. On Tuesday volunteering commenced again,
and up to the middle of the day 26 more men had
given in their names for various corps.
It is a subject of remark at Portsmouth that the
officers and crew of the Osborne have been passed
over in the distribution of presents on the occasion
of the Royal departure.
The Royal Albert, 121 (screw), flag ship of Vice-
Admiral Reynolds, in the Mediterranean, on her
arrival in England will be paid off at Devonport,
and be re-commissioned. to take the place of the
Royal William, as guard-snip of the ordinary. It
is also intended to substitute a first-class steam ship
for the Impregnable, the flag ship of the Com-
mander in-Chief at this port.
The Boadicea, gun-frigate and the Resistance,
10, both of which have been for many years attached
to the ordinary at Chatham, having been surveyed
and foundquite unfit for further service, Admiralty
orders have been received for them to be taken into
dock at Chatham and broken up.
Rear-Admiral Martin, Superintendent of Ports-
mouth Dockyard, struck his flag on board the St.
Vincent, 102, Captain Eyres, C. 8., on Tuesday
night, and went on leave.
The Valorous, 16, paddle frigate, Capt. Aldham
left Spithead yesterday afternoon for Plymouth.
The following appointments were madeyesterday

Staff of the Marquis of Wellesley, then Governor-
' General of ludic. After completing his military
education at Chatham he sailed for Bengal in July,
1848, ane proceeded immediately to join the army
under General Whish before Meehan, arriving in
time to witness the surrender of that fortress. He
was afterwards present at the battle of Goojerat,
and for these services received a medal and clasp.
Subsequently he was employed on the Ganges
Canal under Colonel Sir P. Cautley, K.C.8., till
1852, when he was appointed to the First Division
of the Baree Doab Canal, the important duties of
which he conducted with the greatest zeal, intelli-
gence and credit, under Colonel Napier, until his
departure for Delhi. In July he received an order
and by making forced marches of 20
to o
miles a i
proceedo join thearmy before Delhi. He started
immediately,a
arrived at the camp about the same
time as General Nicholson's force. From that time
until the fall of the rebel city he was continually
employed. He had the charge of the construction
of one of the first breaching batteries on the
right (which was completed iii one night), and
also of the battery nearest, the city (only 140
yards from the walls), which breached the Water
Bastion, and with which he remained till the as-
sault. His gallant conduct at the Cashmere-gate,
which gained for him the proud distinction of the
Victoria Cross, has been already related in detail
in the admirable despatch of Colonel Baird Smith,
C. 8., dated September 17, 1857. From Delhi he
advanced with Colonel Greathed's moveable co-
lumn to Boolundshuhnr, and after the action which
was fought there with the rebels was employed in
the destruction of the defences of the deserted fort
of Malaghur, where he met with the fatal accident
which terminated in his death on tho let of Oct.,
1857. A younger brother of the lamented Lieut.-
Home, also in the Bengal Engineers, is now serv-
ing under Colonel B. Smith in the North-West
Provinces.
