Naval and Military Intellizence.

The summer military season at Chatham was
brought to a termination yesterday with a review of
the whole of the forces quartered in the district by
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Field-
Marshal Commanding-in-Chief. The force on the
ground comprised the B field battery, 4th Brigade
Royal Artillery, numbering five officers, 105
non-commissioned officers and men, 72 horses,
and six Armstrong field guns, with ammunition
waggons, &c., complete; the corps of Royal Engi-
neers, consisting of 30 officers and 710 non-commis-
sioned officers and men ; the Ist, 2d, and 3d Depot
Battalions of Infantry, numbering 80 officers and'
1,200 men of all ranks, and comprising the depots of
the Ist and 24 battalions of the Ist Royals, Ist and
2d battalions of the 15th Regiment, 2:1 battalion of
the 17th Regiment, 50th Queen's Own Regiment,
109th Bombay Infantry, •Ist and 24 battalions of
the 24 Royals, Ist and 2d battalion of the Bth Re-
giment, 29th Regiment, 30th Regiment, 106th
Bombay Light Infantry, Ist and 2d Battalion 10th
Regiment, Ist and 2d Battalions 224 Regiment, 2d
Battalion of the 14th Regiment, 34th Regiment,
and 45th Regiment, and the Chatham division of
Royal Marines Light Infantry, consisting of 30
officers and 520 non-commissioned officers and men,
the whole under the command of Major-Gen. Sir R.
Walpole, K.C.8., and Staff. Riding slowly along
the front and rear of the columns, his Royal High-
ness made a minute inspection of the several corps,
after which he took up his station at the saluting
flagstaff, and the whole of the troops marched past.
A number of field movements of a more or less com-
plicated character followed, the object appearing to
be to test the character of the training the officers
and men have gone through since the occasion of the
last inspection of the troops at Chatham by his
Royal Highness. A series of interesting manoeuvres
having been gone through the columns again formed
in line, with theßoyal Artillery on the right and the
Royal Marines on the left ; after which the com-
manding officers were called ito the front, and ad-
dressed by his Royal Highness, who criticised the
manner in which some of the corps had acquitted
themselves, at the same time expressing himself in
generally satisfactory terms at the way in which
most of the movements had been executed. His Royal
Highness then proceeded to the newly formed mill-
, tarp hospital at Brompton, over which he was
conducted by the officials of the establishment.
After inspecting the various portions of the estab-
lishment, the general parade-ground at Chatham
barracks was visited, on which were drawn up up-
wards of 500 recruits belonging to the various East
India and other depots in garrison. A considerable
time was occupied by his Royal Highness in the in-
spection of this body of troops, in the course of
which considerable dissatisfaction was expressed by
him with the quality of the clothing served out to
the men, which, taking into account the compara-
tively brief period it has been in wear, appeared to
be of an inferior description. The Duke proceeded
to the Royal Engineer,
,field- works, Brompton, for
the purpose of inspecting the works executed by the
officers and sappers during the past summer.
The depot of the 100th Regiment of Foot (the
Royal Canadians) will arrive in Liverpool from Col-
chester, and embark on board the Canadian mail
steamer Belgian, Capt. Brown, which sails from
Liverpool on Thursday (to-morrow) for Quebec.
The depot consists of 3 officers and 125 non-com-
missioned officers and men. They will be accom-
panied by a sergeant and 6 privates of the Military
Hospital Staff Corps. In the Belgian there wi I
