Naval and Military Intelligence.

Yesterday morning one of those little military
displays to which the public are treated occasionally
took place at Wormwood-scrubs. The troops pre-
sent comprised the Ist Life Guards, the Royal
Horse Guards, and the 3d Hussars, the whole under
the command of Major-Gen. Lord George Paget,
Inspector-General of Cavalry. Shortly before ten
o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
attended by Colonel the Hon. James Macdonald,
arrived on the ground. A great number of the
members of the aristocracy, including the Duke of
Sutherland, the Mitrquis of Downshire, the Earl of
March, Capt. Lowther, M.P., &c., were present.
After the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke
of Cambridge the movements incidental to a field-
day commenced: The manceuvres occupied about
an hour and a half, and comprised several very
dashing charges, which showed to perfection the
high state of efficiency each regiment had attained.
The troops then marched past the saluting point by
squadrons at a walk ; the Ist Life Guards, by fours,
at a trot; the Royal Horse Guards, by fours, at a
canter ; and the 3d Hussars, by half-sections, at a
gallop, performing the sword exercise, which elicited
a round of applause from the spectators. The troops
then galloped past by squadrons, left in front,
formed line, and advanced to the saluting point and
saluted the General, which terminated the field
movements. We are sorry to say one of the 3d
Hussars met with a severe accident. In one of the
charges his horse fell, and he not being able to ex-
tricate himself, the horse rolled on him. The sur-
geons were promptly in attendance, and the unfor-
tunate man was removed in an ambulance. Three
men of the Royal Horse Guards were also unhorsed,
but, we believe, did not sustain any injuries beyond
severe contusions.

By direction of the Field-Marshal Commanding-
in-Chief, the following non-commissioned officers
and men at Chatham have been awarded each a
medal and gratuity, for long service and exemplary
conduct :—Colour-Sergeant James Lymington,
30th Regiment, medal and £l5 ; Colour-Sergeant
Henry Randall, Ist Battalion, 2d Royals, medal and
gratuity of £lO ; Privates Joseph Beeves, Lot
Miles, Richard Done, and William Staton, Ist
Battalion, 2'd Regiment, and John Murphy, Ist
Battalion, 15th Regiment, each a medal and gra-
tuity of .£5.

In accordance with an order to that effect re-
ceived at Chatham yesterday from the Horse Guards,
recruiting for the whole of the corps at the garrison,
which was suspended some time since, is to be forth-
with resumed, and the depot and service companies
of each regiment augmented to their full strength.
The additional pay which it has been determined to
give the soldier will, it is anticipated, have a marked
effect on the expected number of recruits, and the
returns from the various recruiting districts for the
next few months will be looked forward to with
some interest.

In consequence of the Government having de-
cided on despatching the summer reinforcements to
India by the new Indian iron steam transports, no
vessels have this year been chartered by the Hon.
Council of India for the conveyance of the reliefs
for the three Presidencies. The new arrangements
will allow of the troops being despatched from Eng-
land later in the season than has hitherto been the
case, and according to existing orders the detach-
ments will not be required to embark before the
month of August or September, when they will be
conveyed to India by the overland route.

Admiral Sir Thomas Sabine Pasley, G.C.8.,
Port Admiral at Portsmouth, and Commander-in-
Chief of the South-west naval district, returned to
Portsmouth on Monday in his steam yacht Fire
Queen, Staff Commander Paul, from his annual
visit of inspection to the western ports of his dis-
trict command and the Channel Islands. The Firo
Queen is last from Cherbourg, at which port she
had called iu to enable Sir Thomas Pasley to make
a friendly call upon the French Admiral and mari-
time authorities.

It is rumoured that Rear-Admiral G. 11. Sey-
mour, C. 8., M.P., the third Sea Lord at the Ad-
miralty, will succeed Rear-Admiral Charles Frede-
rick in the Cork command on the latter officer
receiving his promotion to Vice-Admiral's rank, a
contingency likely soon to arise. It is also said
that the second Sea Lord at the Board, Vice-Ad-
miral Sir Sydney Colpoys Dacres, C. 8., will resign
his seat at the Admiralty for the command of her
Majesty's fleets in the West Indies and North
America, on the promotion of the present Comman-
der-in-Chief, Sir George Rodney Mundy, K. C. B.
The screw steamship Duncan, 81, 800-horse
power (unarmoured), late the flagship of Vice-Ad-
miral Sir James Hope, G.C.8., has received the
officers and crew of the Trafalgar, 72, 500-horse
power, together with the stores and supplies from
that vessel. The Duncan is to remain in the Med-_
way until a short time before the naval review,
when she will proceed to Spithead to take part in
that pageant. The Trafalgar, by order of the Ad-
miralty, will not be dismantled for the present, but
will be attached to the steam reserve in the Med-
way, in readiness for proceeding to Portsmouth
should she be required to take part in the approach-
ing naval review.

The double-screw ironclad gunvessel Viper, 2,737
tons, 160-horse power, commissioned by Comman-
der 11. E. Crozier, late of the Royal Naval Barracks,
is, in accordance with orders to that effect received
at Chatham, to be prepared to take part in the
approaching Royal naval review at Spithead.
It was announced yesterday at Woolwich that the
Admiralty order recently given for her Majesty's
iron hydraulic armour-plated gunboat Waterwitch
to be navigated down to Spithead by a supplemen-
tary crew had been cancelled, and that she would
be commissioned forthwith by Commander Sharpe
(Ist July, 1864) to join the fleet about to assemble
on the occasion of the naval display on the 17th
proximo.

MARIO T 8.--This day.

MARK LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day, both coastwise and by
rail, the arrivals of English wheat have been very limited.
Nevertheless, the demand for both red and white qualities
ruled most inactive ; but for the few sales made Monday's
rates were obtained. The show of foreign wheat was
moderate, but in fair average condition. Millers were
indisposed to buy at the rates current on Monday, never-
theless no quotable change took place in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain wore a dull sale on previous
terms.

With no fresh arrivals of English, and only a small
supply of foreign, barley was firm, and Monday's full
value was maintained.

The malt trade was dull, and without alteration.
Oats were in fair demand, and good sound corn moved
off steadily on previous terms.
Beans and peas were inactive, but there was no change

in prices.
In seeds and cakes there was little passing, but late
rates were upheld.

The Brighton meeting yesterday passed off
harmoniously. The report of the Committee of Investi-
gation was adopted, and four of tho proposed now directors
—Sir Charles Jackson, Messrs. Ralph Lopes, C. B. Cardew,
and Jonas Levy—were elected. Colonel Barttelot, M.P.,
was requested to retain his seat, Mr. Charles Stewart
having declined to act. Mr. Laing, M.P., was also pro-
posed and elected chairman of the new Board, with a
salary of £2,500 per annum ; and a special meeting is to
be summoned for the 4th of July to decide upon the con-
templated working amalgamation with the South-Eastern
Company.
Russia, Prussia, and France have agreed at Paris
to advocate at Constantinople the appointment of an In
ternational Commission to inquire into the state of Crete.
England will probably join in the step, without, however,
engaging to act upon the recommendations of the Commis-
, Won. A similar policy will boaclhored to by Austria.
