THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOT.

The military seascn at Aldershot seems as if fast
apprcacl.ing its termination Yesterday was the
last of its gala field-days, and within a few weeks
more even ordinary reviews will finish, many of the
troops go into barracks, the picturesque canton-
ments at Cove-common will be broken up, and all
the camp abandoned to that dust, rain, and wind

For each mid all of which it is So widely and so
justly celebrated. _

It is, perhaps, from foreseeing this period of forced
repose, and justly proud of displaying the results

which have 13( en achieved among the troops in camp

by the care and vigour of his military administration,
that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge

gave one more grand field-day yesterday. The
weather on this 'occasion was, if not all that could be

desired, at least rn,re than could reasonably have

baen expected at Aldershot. During the previon,
night it had rained heavily, so that the temperature

of the black heathy common was reduced b-l.w
blood heat, while the dust was mitigated to such

degree a 3 to allow all the ordinary evolutions to be
seen, and only when something oceurted of unusual

. _
interest, such as a charge of cavilry, did it rise in

clouds and obscure everything. His Royal High-
ness, attended by Lord Burghersh and Col, Gorden,
arrived in camp by 9 o'clock, and their Royal High-

nesses the Duchess and Plinces3 Mary of Cam-

bridge and the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh-
Strelitz, at' ended by Baron Knesebeck, also came
down by a later train to honour the review with
their presence. In addition to these illustrious
visitors there was a considerable muster of rank
and fashion from the metropc:'is, Ft) that, on the
whole, the hills overlooking the Long Valley pre-
sented as gay and animated an aspect as-we have
ever seen, even on the very brilliant Royal field-

days.
The troops paraded early, and marching at first

'rom the North and South Camps, traversed the

whole extent of the Conituon and Long Valley,

pouring in masses up the steep bold hill of Caesar's
Camp, and extending far along the right of that
eminence among the woods and enclosures over-

looking and flanking the Winchester-road.
The whole force on the ground was upwards of
21,000 men, divided into fire cavalry regiments, 19
regiments of infantry, 30 guns, and detachments
from the Engineers and Military Train. As this
force moved along the various routes towards the

intended scene of action, climbing the steep ridges

of the Roman camp, winding by the side of corn
or struggling in rich disarray through bright green
plantations, an endless succession of the most strik-
ing situations was produced, in which the pictu-
resqueness of the scenery, combined with all the
glitter and splendour of a military spectacle, had a
most brilliant and imposing effect.
The troops took up their position at once, but of
course the line occupied by such a body of men and
horse extended over a considerable tract of country,

the extreme wings of the airily teing more than a
mile and a-half apart at times. The right centre

of the position was Caesar's Camp, which was occu-
pied in force by the 2d Brigade, under Major-Gen.
Spencer, consisting of a battalion of the Grenadier
Guards, the sth Foot, four companies of the 60th,
with the Cheshire, Oxfordshire, Stirlingshire, and
E.ist Kent Militias, and a battery of Field
Artillery. On their left and rear was the 3d
Brigade, under Major-General Lawrence, cam
posed of the 15th and 67th Foot, the 3d West
York, South Donegal, and Dublin Militias, and
one field battery. The right wing, extending
[ towards the Winchester-road, and parallel w►th

it, was formed by the 2d Brigade, under Lord W
Paulet, consisting of the 36th and 90th Fuels, the
21 Warwick Militia, Ist West York Rifler, and the
Limerick and Kerry Militias, and a battery of
Artillery. On the extreme right front of all, with
the Horse Artillery, Major-Gen. La,wrenson com -
mandsal a per don of his cavalry brigade, consisting
of the 4th Light Dragoons, 10th and 11th Hussars.
The heavy cavalry, the 2d Life Guards, the 4th Irish
Dragoon Guards, remained- islightly in advance of
the centre, under Caesar's Camp, in dense glittering
masses—the thunderbolts of horse, not to be used
till it was necessary to deal a dreadful blow, and
sweep the enemy from the field.
The evolutions of the sham fight which fsllowed
were exceedingly simple and slow, and in this re-
spect they more perfectly resembled a real battle
than any display of the kind we have seen at Atler-
s'aot. The manoeuvres of some 22,000 men require
an amount of time and space to accotnoli-h th- m
properly which civilians would scarcely believe, so
the field-day yesterday, though apparently less
striking, was indefinitely more perfect and better
adapted for displaying the
.real efficiency of the
troops than the mere continuous fusillade which
often passes current for a sham battle at camp.
The enemy were supposed to have advanced in
force, and to be attacked on the extreme right front
by the camp forces. The action, therefore, com-
menced on that point with a sharp skirmishing fire
among the plantations and along the hedgerows,
which gradually swelled into continued firing as
the riflemen were reinforced by the light companies
from some of the regiments of the Ist and 2d Bri-
gades. The Light Cavalry, supported by the Horse
Artillery, manoeuvred on the flanks of the skir-
mishers, covering their advance, keeping in the
clear ground so as to hold the enemy in check, and
bringing their guns to bear from every little emi-
nence. Thus, contesting step by step, the onward
movement was continued, and a sputrering, irre-
gular line of fire, leaving its little puffs of white
smoke far behind, marked how far the defence and
attack extended.
The advance lasted some time, till the field guns
in Cresar's camp, and on the right of the position,
came into action with great effect, and a close,
rolling fire of artillery thundered far and wide,
spreadiug its veil of thin smoke over the country,
drowning the rat'le of the skirmishers, and almost
when, amid orchards and hedge rows
little nooks, they still contested, fighting
hidingan d
eiui them,et
from every clump and bush, then running rapidly
across the open ground in groups of threes and
fours.
This advance, as we have said, las' ed a consider-
able time, the skirmishers having to wait till the
ar illery and cavalry, winding round the woods by
tortuous roads, came up again to their support.
Gradually, however, the open ground leading into
the Camp Common was gained, and a general ad-
vance took place along the whole line. The infantry
brigades, covered by a tremendous fire of artillery,
pushed down into the plain by contiguous columns
and columns of companies, while the heavy cavalry
covering and supported by a battery of field artil-
lery, moved on to the front to effect a junction with
the light horse, which were sweeping all before
theta. At this time the scene was most brilliant and
, exciting. From all the rugged heights of CD3 -at's
Camp troops cause pouring down iu dense red
streams—regiment after regiment and brigade after
brigade—rill the green turf in the distance seemed
studded with brilliant parterres of many colours.
From hills anl valleys out upon the common, and
concealed in woods and clumps of firs, guns were
posted, pouring out their broad streams of hot red
flame and smoke, till the air seemed to vibrate pain-
fully with their concussions, and everything was
hidden from view. The Life Guards, too, came
down the hill glittering iu the sun like a stream of
silver, and contrasting finely with the brass helmeted
squadrons and rich crimson uniforms of the dra-
goons, who rode beside theca. The three regiments
of light cavalry charged to cover the ad vance, sweep-
ing across the plain with a, rush like a whirlwind,
till their roar and glitter were swallowed up in the
dense black clouds of dust that rose behind them,
and rested a broad sombre mark across the land-
scape, as if denoting the ruin that had aceornpa-
', vied the charge. Wheelirg round and -returning,
• the light cavalry halted a: the heavy brigade ad-

vancod step by step, till the charee rang out from
the bugles, and away they went across the common
with a hoarse grumbling noise like distant thunder
—the mass of horses shaking the very earth, and
scattering.the turf like spray behind them. Three •
or four .of these terrific charges followed each
other in rapid succession, all executed with. a per- )
fection of discipline and good order that seemed
astonishing. Under cover of these the Ist and 2d
brigades advanced in a line extending at least a mile,
supported on either flank by artill.ry, and with
the-3d brigade in quarter-distance column in ye-
serve behind.. The cavalry made way for them,
falling back rapidly on either side in dense masses.
During this manoeuvre the heavy brigade ap-
proached so ne tr the hill oe which the British pub-
lic were stationed that the latter began to exhibit
considerable unsteadiness, and at last retreated in
disorder on a battery of artillery, and thence pro-
ceeded to muddle themselves up with a portion of
-he Guards in the most hopeless c bnfristion. - In this
state they remained without an effort at ex, rication
till the troops moved on and 1 ft them—many of
the spntators apparen ly not a little relieved and
astonished to find that the rules of the service per-
mitted their lives lying spared on such an occasion.
Arrived at the plain the intim ry halt ed, and com-
menced a heavy file fire, which extending along a
line of upwards of a mile had a grand effect. The
whole mass then advanced en echelon to the hills near
Long Valley, and, halting, threw themselves into
squares to receive cavalry, and so remained, firing
by volleys and file firing for a considerable time.
This was -a final movement, for the infantry and the
light and heavy cavalry Continued advancing intern;
throwing out skirmiShers to watch the movements
.of: the retreating
_foe, while the rest of the troop
gathered up for marching past H. R. H. the Com-
mander-in-Chief. This latter evolution to k a
considerable time, the cavalry and horse artillery
corning first, and the infantry brigades and field
batteries in their regular order. The appea'ance
of all the corps, almost without a single exc ption,
was admirable. The militia regiments during the
last few months have so profitfed by the care and
training bestowed upon them as to be now equal
to the best regiments of the line. The rapidity
and accuracy with which they manceuvr d y s
terday showed that all that the camp could
teach them had been well and thoroughly learnt,
and some of the regiments might fairly be taktea
as standard specimens of our English troops. The
marching past of all yesterday was very good,
though the Stirlingshire and Kerry Mititias were
among the best. Among the regular trotps the
15th and 38th were very good. It is almost mine-
cesFary to mention the Guards, as their marching
has long been beyond even rivalry.
Immediately after the review the Royal visitors
returned to town. The railway arrangements were
excellent.

MILITARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Lords of the Admiralty paid their annual
official visit to Chatham Dockyard yesterday af-
ternoon, for the purpose of making an inspection
of that establishment. Their lordships arrived
Shortly after 12 o'clock. The members of the Board
present were—Sir J. S. Pakington, Bart,, First
Lord, Vice-Admiral W. F. Martin, Vice-Admiral
the Hon. Sir R. S. Dundaq, K.C.8., and Rear-Ad
miral A. Millie' who were accompanied by Rear
Admiral Sr B. W. Walker, Bart., K.C.8., Sur-
veyor of the Navy, and Liaut. Col. G. T. Greene,
Din-ctor-Genpral of Almiralty engineering work:.
After the various officers of the dockyard hail la, en

ilresented to Sir J. Pakington, and the ot: er mem-

Woolwich-common and reviewed two troops of
Royal Horse Artillery and four fiell hatterie4, of er
which the Uhl b tteries p rform d severs]. move-

Repository, where the batteries were manned, and
the use of the different machines for mounting and
dismounting and the c..nveyance of guns and mor-
tars was explained, and they were afterwards con-
ducted through the barrack quarters, and the entire
establishment, and accered an invitation at the
mess-table in the eveniug.
Yes erday a large party of sick and wounded
troops who have recently returned to this country
from India, having been wounded at Delhi, con-
sisting of 76 non-commissioned officers and men of
the 52d Light Infantry, 60th Rifles, and 75th
Regt., were medically inspected at Fart Pitt,
Chatham, when the whole of that number, with
the exception of a few men, having been pronounce 1
convalescent and fit for further service, were di-
rected to join their respective depots at Chatham
and Winchester. A patty of convalescent troops
belonging to the 78th Highlanders, who were re-
cently invalided home from India, leit Chatham
garrison yesterday morning to join their depot at
Aberdeen.
Capt. Lambrick, in command of a detachment of
eight subalterns and 180 non commissioned officers
and privates of the Royal Marine Light Infantry,
from Woolwich, yesterday relieved Captain Harris
and an equal number of that corps, on guard at the
Victoria-yards, Deptford.
Special permission having been finally accorded
by the Secretary of State for War,for another proof
of the durability of Mr. Mallet's mammoth mortar,
the offices of the select c mtnittee of Woolwich
Arsenal and various other pewons ass.iintiLd in the
mirsh yesterday morning to witness the exper -
ments which were intended for that day's trial. It
was arranged to atteier as far as prsct:cable to fire
ten rounds, the charge to commence with 4610. of
p weer, a straw wad, and a 36-inch shell, the shells
averaging about 2,3761 e. weig ,t, ereitt sue .e ding

of powder, coat feting sth. etch and asu petit mine-

served out and conveyed to the stet fir the occa-
sion. Lieut. Parke, Lieut. Harris, ten non-com-
missioned officere, and 20 gunners of the Royal Ar-
tillery were ordered to be in attendance at 10.3,1,
and, having got through the necessary preliminary
preparation, by 12 the spectators were gratified with
perceivinga gunner introduced into the mouth of the
mortar, who placed in it the first charge, mit:hied
in eight separate flannel bags. The loading oc-
cupied about 39 minutes, and the fir,it shot was
pronounced to be highly satisfactory, the flight
extending over 1,700 yards, and the shot alighting
in an almost direct line with the butt. The second
shot, containing 501 b. of powder, was fired at one
o'clock, and was considered equally satisfactory,

by casting up a mound of ear h aLd gravel, and
buying itself many feet beneath. The third
charge was about to be int, aluced, when
sundry indications were perceived of some de-
rangement in the rings forming the barrel r f
the mortar, by the displacement of some of
he co.,ters, or wedges. The engineers were
iminediat ily set to work, and on the appli-
cation of the hammer one of the cotters was
found to be broken. It was thereLre judged
roceed with the
imprudent and unsafe to p
trial. The damage is somewhat similar to that
which occurred in one of the former experi-
ments, since which the cotters (which were then
of iron) have been replaced by steel, which it was
considered would resist any amount of concussion.
The continuation of the experiment was therefore
r.stponed. According to the progressive ratio of
adding 400 yards to the range obtained by each
increase of the charge, the last shell, implied by
130Ib. of powder, would have fallen upwards of
three miles from the mortar whence it was dis-
charged.
