&c.
•The inspection begaryni the- headquarter
-barracks, Gun-wharf,. at 10.30 a.m , where the
division,. about 860 strong, was principally drawn
up inlipe„ but the parade ground being too limited, ;
about 300 were forrned-in column. • The inspection :
of the small arms and accoutrements was the first . •
part of the proceedings ; then:the barrack rooms,
school, gun stores, Sergeants' Masi, infirmary, &c..
All these departments were found admirable

It appears that one or the largest army contrac-

each, and his contract accept .d, several thou-
sand kits were sent into the clothing stores at Wee-
don, when it was discovered that the articles sup-
plied were of an inferior descript on and not worth
the sum paid fur them by the Government.' On
this discovery being made, the kits were returned
to the contractor, who has since snpplied the same
kits to the troops at Chatham for 3/. 81. 9d. each.
It thus appears that ar icl« s which were rejected by
the Go,ierninent=as not ixting worth 21. 11s. 3d. at
Weedon, are considered to be worth 3/. Bs. 9d. at
Chatham, and are
,purchased by the Government
for the troops at that price. Since the authorities
have agreed to present each recruit with-a- free kit,-
the whole expense of the soldiers' necessaries is
borne by the Government instead of being charged.
to the recruit as heretofore.

ghe Recruit, 936 tons Commander J. Rook, lies
been taken up by the Hon. East India Company
for the conveyance of reinforcements to India. She
will take out reinforcements for the 71st Highland
Light Infantry, 72d Highlanders, and 92d High:.
landers, from the depots of those regiments at
Stirling and Aberdeen. The Recruit embarked her
troops at Gravesend yesterday.
The Eastern Monarch, 1,600 tons burden, Com-
mander H. Morris, with upwards of 700 reinforce-
ments on board, took her departure for India
from Gravesend on Tuesday evening.
The freightship Walt:lemma, \Vallee master and
owner, has arrived at Chatham from St. Peters-
hu.,c, with a cargo of Russian hemp, for the dock-
yard.

The Hope, Dyer master, commenced shipping
war stores at Chatham dcckyard yesterday for
Deptford.
General Sir William F. Williams, attended by
the garrison staff, yesterday reviewed the troops
of Royal Horse Artillery and field batteries Royal
Artillery on Woolwich-conainoll. The proceedings
commenced at 10 o'clock, and terminated at 1
o'clock, immediately after which the Antrim Militia
(Queen's Royal Rifles) in command of Lieutenant
Colonel Ferguson, and the Royal Marines, iu com-
mand of Colonel Brown, marched u, to the ground,
and went through an its,eresting display of
skirmishing and Light Infantry movements, with-
out ammunition, until a heavy stoim of rain
obliged them to retire to qusrters.
Experitnents were yesterday made at Woolwich
for testing the strength and superiority of Preller's
nesly-invented prepared thongs and leather bands,
about bo sul;stitutedfcr the ordinary bark-tanned
straps employed for. driving steam Saw mills,
grooved pulli4s, and other machinery in her
Mejeaty's dockyards and arsenals. A. number of
bands applicable to the above-named purposes,
and others intended for hoisting heavy weights in
the place of hemp-Topes, were tried by means .of
;he. hydraulic testing apparatus. A 2i-inch single
band of the patent leatlie!: withstood he teat of
22 cwt., while 14 cwt. broke a similar band of the
bark-tanned leather. A 5-inch double Vied of
the latter also broke at S. tension of 47i
cwt., whereas a double band of the former
inch thickness, required 481 cwt. to break
it.. .The separation, or tearing of the two
specks of leather differed also considerably, the
natural fibrous state constituting the great strength
of the hide being preserved in the new bands, it
was stated, by th patent process of preparation.
