NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE

The 2d Regt. of Life Guards, under the command
of Col. Martyn, has received orders to leave Wind-
sor for Aldershot Camp this day (Thursday). A
few recruits and non-effectives will remain in
charge of the barracks at Windsor.
Yesterday morning Major-General S. R. Wesley,
the Deputy Adjutant-General, had the whole bat-
talion of the Cnatham division of Royal Marine
Light Infantry marched to the lines, for the pur-
pose of seeing the officers of the division now at
head-quarters manoeuvre the battalion. The troops
were put through a variety of evolutions, chiefly by
the junior officers, which were performed with re-
markable steadiness. The inspection of the division,
which has occupied Gen. Wesley threw days, then
terminated, and Gen. 'Wesley took the opportunity
of publicly stating to Col. W. H. Parke, the com-
mandant, the great satisfaction he experienced in
finding the Chatham division of Royal Marines its
such a high state of discipline. Before concluding
his inspection Gen. Wesley asked the battalion if
any one had a complaint to make, but no one re-
sponded to the c
Major-Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C. 8.,
the Governor of Portsmouth, having been sent for
to the Horse Guards, there will be no field day on
Southsea-common to-day, but the spectacle will
take place at 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. _

The authorities at the War 1/3paitment having
decided on not sending out any additional rein-
forcements for the 32d Light Infantry, now serving
in India, in consequence of the service companies
of that corps being about to return to Eog!and, up-
wards of 100 men -belonging to the depot at Chat-
have expressed their willingness to volunteer,
chiefly for the Military Train Corps and some other
regiments now in India. The 32d Light Infantry
has been absent from England since 1846.
Col. Brown, commandant of the Woolwich Divi-
sion of Royal Marines yesterday returned from
leave of absence, and will resume the duties of his
post to-day, temporarily superintended by Col. H.
Fleming.

Mr. Parkyn, the newly-appointed deputy mili-
tary storekeeper of Woolwich Arsenal, and the offi-
cers of that establishment, yeaterday mustered the
entire regiment of Royal Artillery in front of their
divisional quartets at Woolwich, as well as the
Royal Engineers and the Military Train. The re-
maining regiments in garrison were mustered by
the paymasters of the respeetive corps.
In consequence of the East India Company's
troopship Eastern Monarch (which is under engage-
ment to convey upwards of 600 reinforcements to
India), having been detained in the East India
Docks through the recent accident, that vessel was
unable to embark her troops at Gravesend yester-
day, as previously ordered, and it is not likely that
the drafts for that vessel will leave Chatham Garri-
son for several days. The Earl Bal carras, 1,488 tons,
Commander T. Bremner, embarks the following
reinforcements at Cork, for Bombay—viz., 160 men
of the 33d (Duke of Wellington's) Regiment, 107
man of the 89th Regiment, and 106 men of the 95th
Regiment, from the depot battalion at Fermoy
10 men of the 18th (Royal Irish), 25 men of the
47th, and 25 men of the 86th (Royal County Down)
Regiment—total, 433 men of all ranks. The
Clifton Belle, as soon as she has been inst ected by
the military officers from Chatham, will embark
400 men at Gravesend, for Bombay.
On Tuesday a court war•ial assembled on board
the flea-ship Waterloo, at Sheerness, to try Lieut.
James Hector M'Keuzie Robertson on the follow-
charges :-1. For that he, the said Lieut. J. H.
M'Kenzie Robertson, being in actual service and
full pay in ber Majesty's fleet, and belonging to her
Majesty's ship Royal George, for the service of the
ordinary at Sheerness, was drunk on or about the
eTening of the 28th day of March last, be! ween the
hours of 9 and 11. 2. For that he did, on or about
the same date, bAween the hours of 10 and 11 p. u..,
make use of abusive language to Mr. W. Crowhurst,
supernumerary carpenter of that 131;ip, doing duty
on board her Majesty's ship Leonidas, and did be-
have in a manlier unbecoming the character of an
officer. Captain Superintendent J. C. Fitzgerald
presided. After hearing the evidence, the Court
was of opinion that the first charge was not proved,
but that so much of the second charge, charging the
prisoner with behaving in a manner unbecoming
the character of an offieer was proved, and sentenced
Lieut. J. H. M'Kenzie Robertson to be disini.s..d
from her Majesty's ship Royal George.
Her Majesty's steam transport Dee sailed from
Woolwicu yesterday morning, laden with boilers
and steam machinery for the 50-gun frigate Orl,ndo,

ness.

The Bucephalus fteightship sailed from Spithead
yesterday at 4 a.m. with troops for India.
The VictorEarmanuel freighitship willnot be ready
to receive her troops until this day or to-morrow,

less than required by the East India Company)
needing considerable alteration.

Racoon, Capt. P.synter, have left Spithead on a

INYEsTITURE OF LORD LYONS.—Admiral Lord
Lyons was on Wednesday, June 16, admitted a
Knight Grand Cress of the most distinguished
Order of St. Michael and St. George. The affair
was a brilliant one. The hall appointed for the
ceremony was densely crowded by the elite of
Malta, the gentlemen appearing in full evening
r
dress—the ladies in morning costume. In the even-
in z the governor entertained at dinner, at the
palace, the newly-invested knight and other mem-
bers of the Order at present in the island, as well
as Lieut. General Sir John Pennefather and a
number of other guests.
DEPARTURE OF LORD LYONS.—At an early hour
on Thursday morning, June 17, her Majesty's ship
ItoyalAlt ert, bearing theflag of Admiral Lord Lyons,
got up steam, and at about ten o'clock slipped from
her moorings, and majestically glided out of her-
Lour, under a salute from Fort St. Angelo and her
Majesty's steamer Hibernia, whilst the screw liners
Conqueror, Centurion, and Princess Royal, manned
rigging to the very trucks, in token of adieu, the
officers and men of all the ships loudly cheering
the gallant veteran. The flag ship fired return
salutes, and •manned rigging in like manner, each
of the masthead tracks displaying a seaman waving
the banner s•of the three chief orders of knighthood
with which the admiral stands invested. On the
clearing away of the smoke after these salutes, the
ships in port hoisted the signal, " Our good wishes
• attend you,",..which was answered by the flag ship
;1 with the significant word, "Farewell." The officer e
of the dock-yard awaited the flag ship at theeL.
a trance of the harbour, to bid the admiral adieus

which compliment was duly acknowledged by his
lordship. No less hearty cheers resounded from
the military, who, without any order to that effect,
spontaneously lined the fortifications on each side
of Valletta Harbour.

Accounts from Rhodes mention several interest-
ing facts for science and archaeology. Since the last
earthquake, somekmonths back, the geological con.
stitution of the country has been so changed that
all the water springs have dried up. The Turkish
Government, in order to remedy the great drought,
some time ago ordered that works should be exc.
cuted, and the troops were employed on them.
Wells were dug near the former springs, and water
was found, but it soon after dried up again. One
spring alone, discovered near the palace of the
governor, has continued flowing, but this supply is
very inadequate to the wants of the population.
During the excavations made the remains of an old
aqueduct of fine construction were discovered, and
ou one large stone was an inscription in Latin,
which said, " The Knights of Rhodes built this
aqueduct, which was solemnly blessed on the 7th
May, 1521, Philippe de Villiers, of the Isle Adam,
being Grand Master of the Order." This stone
has, by order of the Packs, been deposited in the
Catholic church.
