Naval and Military Intelli,;ence.

On Saturday Field-Marshal the Duke of Cam-
bridge paid a visit to Sheerness for the purpose of
inspecting the new fort at Garrison Point, which is
far advanced towards completion. His Royal High-
ness arrived in the "Wildfire, Master George Brock-
man, landed at the Garrison Camber about 3 p.m.,
and was received by Vice-Admiral Sir Baldwin W.
Walker, K. C. 8., Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness;
Col. Sampson Freeth, commanding Royal Engi-
neers ; and the principal officers of the navy and
army on the station. Previous to tha arrival of his
Royal Highness the Royal Artillery stationed at
Sheerness, with their band, had been marched to
the Camber as a guard of honour on the occa-
sion, but in consequence of a telegram received
from the Wildfire as she was proceeding down
the Thames to the effect that his Royal Highness
did not require the guard of honour they were
marched back to the parade ground, where they
were subsequently inspected. On landing his
Royal Highness proceeded to 'inspect the whole of
the fort except the basement, after which he in-
spected the Royal Artillery. His Royal Highness em-
barked on board the Wildfire about 4 p.m., and left
for town.

The route-marching of the division at Aldershott
during the past week was to have been unusually
interesting, but the unfavourable weather prevented
the plans of Lieut.-Gen. Scarlett being carried out.
The whole of the troops in camp were ordered on
Tuesday morning to take up positions mentioned in
the Times of the previous day, to check the advance
of an enemy front the north, either by the mainroad
from London through Bagshot or any parallel roads
or accessible country on either side of such roads.
The Cavalry Brigade, under Major-G-en. Hodge,
C. 8., with the artillery, turned out early in order
to reach at the appointed time the position assigned
them, which was distant about eight miles from the
camp, and had nearly arrived at Farnborough when
heavy rain came on, and the order for the march out
was countermanded. On Thursday the 3d Infan-
try Brigade, consisting of the 48th (Northampton-
shire Regiment), the 89th (Princess Victoria's)
Regiment, and the 71st Highland Light
Infantry, the whole under the command cf Col.
Hope, C. 8., Acting Brigadier, marched out to
Ash, and returned by the road leading from that
village to the North Camp. As at present arranged
the division will march out on Thursday, when it
is expected that the programme of last Tuesday will
be adopted.

The Sepoy, gun vessel, lieut. in command 11. J.
Dyke, tender to the Coastguard ship Dauntless,
31 guns, steam frigate, Capt. E. P. B. von Donop,
in the Ilumber, having had her boilers thoroughly
repaired, was taken for trial of her engines on Fri-
day last. Mr. W. W. Williamson, inspector of ma-
chinery afloat at Sheerness, and Mr. Baker, chief
engineer, Chatham dockyard, superintended the
trial. Owing to the very unfavourable weather it
was made at the measured mile in Saltpan-reach, in
the Medway. The trial was considered very satis-
factory, a mean speed of 71 knots having been at-
tained, the revolutions being 148, vacuum, 23, pres-
sure of steam 411 b. The Sepoy will shortly resume
her duties in the 'lumber.

Mrs. John Wood, although of English birth and
education, is an American actress ; having first ap-
peared in America on the boards, and made a name
which is well known in the United States. She is a
daughter of Mr. Ilenry, and cousin of Mr. George
Vining, manager of the Princess's Theatre. She is,
we believe, an artiste of the highest capabilities ;
full of movement, clear and good articulation, great
play of feature, and demonstrative in action. To
add to these admirable points she is extremely good-
looking.

BURNING OF A CORN MILL.—An extensive corn-
mill at Dewsbury, named the Calder Mill, belonging. to
Mr. Jonathan }learn Y, was destroyed by fire on Friday
morning last. There eras a large quantity of corn, fllur'
and meal in the mill at the time, the whole of which *-was
consumed or otherwise rendered useless. The fire is sup-
posed to have originated from friction of some part of the
machinery. The total damage has been estimated at
£5,000. It is said to be covered by insurance in the Lon-
don, Liverpool, and Globe offices.
ADVERTISEMENT.I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills are
unfeignedly the remedies upon which all may rely who aro
suffering from diseases of the skin, scrofula, scurvy, ulce-
rations, and bad legs. When the warmth of the weather
determines unduly blood to the skin all these complaints
assume a worse appearance, and their symptoms become
more harassing unless Holloway's ointment be applied to
check increasing inflammation and to soothe the excited
nerves. No knowledge beyond that contained in the
"Directions for use" is required for using this-cooling and
healing unguent, which always acts b
were eneficially. Thou-
sands afflicted with bads legs, who slowly sinking
under their sufferings, have been rescued from their perilous
position (after all curative means seemed rowerioss) by
persevering with Ilolloway's medicaments.
