At eight a.m. on Saturday the Royal Standard
was hoisted on the principal bastion of the town
fortifications of Portsmouth and a Royal salute
fired from the saluting battery, in honour of the
presence in the garrison of the Duke of Camb:idge,
K.G., the General Commanding-in-Chief, on his
annual inspection of Portsmouth and the south-
west district. During the forenoon his Royal
Highness inspected all the troops at Portsmouth
and Gosport, including the Royal Marine Artillery
and Light Infantry, in a grand parade on South-
sea-common. The troops began to assemble on
the common as early as eight a.m. By 10 30 the
uholo force was drawn up in position in line of
contiguous columns in three brigades, under the
command of Lieut.-Gen. Sir George Buller, K. 8.,
the Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, and the
General officer commanding the south-west military
district. Sir George Buller's Staff consisted of—
Col. Alison, Assist.-Adjt.-Gen. ; Col. Willis, Assist.-
Quartermaster-Gen. ; Lieut.-Colonel Mackenzie,
A.D.C. ; Capt. Glyn, A.D.C. ; Capt. Eden, Dept.
Assist.-Quartermaster-Gen. ; Col. Commanding
Wodehouse, R.A. ; Cob-Commanding Hadden,
R.E., Col.-Commandant Schomberg, R.M.A.,
Col.-Commandant Aslett, R.M.L.I. The force on
the ground comprised a total of 265 officers and
4,452 non-commissioned officers and men. The
mounted battery and Garrison Artillery held the
right of the line, and the 141trine Artillery the left.
Soon after the troops had taken up their formation
the General arrived on the ground, accompanied by
Lieut.-Gen. Lord William Paulet, C. 13., Adjt.-Gen.
of the Forces ; Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Hope Grant,
K.C.8., Quartermaster-Gen..; Col. Jervoise, R.E.,
Deputy Inspector - Gen. of Fortifications ; Col.
Gambier, R.A., Deputy Adjt.-Gen. of Artillery;
Col. Tyrwhitt, A.D.C., and a mounted escort of
the 4th Dragoon Guards. His Royal Highness was
received with a Royal salute, colours lowered, and
the troops immediately afterwards marched past,
first in quarter-distance column and afterwards in
columns of brigades. A series of field evolutions
followed, such as the very limited nature of the
ground permitted of being carried out, which lasted
nearly three hours. The most effective features of
the inspection were the continuous roll of the Snider
rifle, with which all the troops were armed, the
independent firing in line, the movement in echelon,
and the throwing into squares of one brigade to
repel cavalry, with the supporting brigade keeping
its line formation, and throwing in upon the foe an
unchanging blaze of fire from the breech-loading
Snider. At the close of the proceedings command-
ing officers of regiments were called to the front,
and addressed by the Duke at considerable length
on the manner in which the several regiments had
performed their parts in the various manceuvres,
pointing out shortcomings where he had seen them,
but generally expressing satisfaction, and especially
so with the bearing and steadiness of the Royal
Marine Artillery and the 2d battalion of the 7th
Regiment. The troops were then dismissed and at
once returned to their quarters, with the exception
of the 2d battalion of the 7th and the Depot Bat-
talion, which piled arms on the Common and
vigorously attacked their commissariat waggons be-
fore commencing their long march back to their
quarters in the advanced forts between Gosport and
Fareham. After leaving the troops the Duke,
accompanied by his Staff and Deputy Inspector of
Fortifications, Colonel Jervoise, R.E., rode out to
the new fortification at Southsea Castle, where
some time was spent inspecting the alterations being
effected in the interior of the work, and the prepara-
tions to receive its ordnance on the terre-pleine, and
the iron shields in the granite sided earthen embra-
sures. From the fort his Royal Highness returned
to the Government-house, Portsmouth, to luncheon.
After luncheon his Royal highness, accompanied
by Sir George Buller, Lord W. Paulet, Sir Hope
Grant, Colonels Jervoise, Gambier, and Tyrwhitt,
drove to the garrison water-gate and embarked
thence by the Admiral's barge, under the com-
mand of Flag-Lieut. Boger, on board her Majesty's
steamer Vivid, and proceeded out to Spithead,
where his Royal Highness paid a visit to Admiral
Farragut on board his flag-ship, the Franklin,
Capt. Le Roy, of upwards of an hour's duration.
The Royal Standard hoisted on board the Vivid was
saluted by her Majesty's ship Victory. On the Vivid
nearing the American squadron at Spithead the Fran-
klin and the Ticonderoga manned yards, the paddle-
yacht tender Frolic, having no yards aloft, ranged
her crew along her netting. On the Duke stepping
on the Franklin's deck, the Royal Standard of Eng-
land was hoisted at her main royal masthead, and
her guns, with those of the Ticonderoga, thundered
out a Royal salute. Lord henry Lennox, M.P.,
Secretary to the English Board of Admiralty, met
the Duke and his Staff on board the Franklin. On
the Duke and suite leaving the Franklin at the con-
clusion of the visit the crews of the American ves-
sels again sprang aloft, and again the guns of the
Franklin and her consort thundered out in tones of
honour and of friendship. His Royal Highness on
landing at Portsmouth again from the Vivid drove
to the Government-house, and afterwards left, ac-
companied by Lord William Paulet and the officers
on his Staff, for London by the 5 10 p.m. up train,
the Royal Standard being hauled down from the
King's Bastion under a Royal salute from the gar-
rison and her Majesty's ship Victory.
On Saturday, Major-Gen. Freeman Murray, in
command of the division at Chatham, attended by
the divisional staff, paid an official visit to the
whole of the military hospitals of the garrison,
over which he was conducted by the several
heads of departments. A lengthened visit was
paid to the military establishment, Fort Pitt, Gen.
Murray inspecting every portion of the hospital,
the visit, it may be remarked, not having been
previously notified. In the course of his inspec-
tion, General Murray also visited the hospital at
Chatham, recently erected for the special reception
of the wives and children of soldiers requiring sur-
gical or medical treatment. The whole of the esta-
blishments inspected were found to be in a most
satisfactory condition.
The annual pleasure fair held by Royal charter
at Charlton, near Woolwich garrison, having com-
menced, the following general order relative thereto
has been issued by General Warde

Friday, Saturday, and Monday. Commanding offi-
cers are requested to be circumspect in granting
passes to the fair on those days. The rolls will be
called in the barracks at half-past 9, and the lights
put out at a quarter to 10 p.m. Pickets from each
brigade of the Royal Artillery, and from the several
corps in garrison of considerable strength, are or •
dared to parade the thoroughfares about the fair
field ; and commanding officers have issued stringent
orders to the men to refrain from being led astray,
or engaging in any disturbances. The non-com-
missioned officers are directed to take notice of any
irregularity, and to assist in any quarrels or discus-
sion in which the men of their respective corps may
be concerned. One sergeant, one corporal and
bombardier, and 15 men will compose each piequet
for the occasion."

The United States' squadron, under the com-
mand of Admiral D. G. Farragut, comprising the
screw frigate Franklin, the screw sloop Ticonde-
roga, and the paddle yacht tender Frolic, sailed
from Spithead for Plymouth Sound and Lisbon yes-
terday. The sloop sailed early in the morning. The
frigate and her tender sailed about an hour after noon.
During the stay of the squadron at Spithead Sir
Thomas S. Pasley, Port Admiral at Portsmouth,
has placed his steam paddle yacht Fire Queen, Capt.
F. Paul, at the exclusive disposal of Admiral Farra-
gut. During the stay of the American squadron at
Spithead the Commander-in-Chief of the American
navy and his officers have paid visits to every point
of interest in the dockyard, to the Excellent gun-
nery ship, the Waterwitch, hydraulic propelled gun-
