Naval and Military Intelligence.

Field Marshal the Duke of Cambridge, K.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 forts 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 po ffer, 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, 44 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 Departmen.
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'et«t in a
communication to the " opposite establishment,"
that the 4th Hussars must go to Portsmouth from
the West of England, for the Saapis shall not call
in at the west for the 4th.

The 70th '(the Surrey) Regiment, under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Col. Wm. 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 ou 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
orders 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 into 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 Bom-
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.
