Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chiefs levee,
announced for to-day, is unavoidably postponed till
'Wednesday, the 7th inst. ; but, as there may possibly
be officers who have come some distance for the pur-
pose of seeing his Royal Highness, to whom it
might be inconvenient to remain in London till the
last named day, the Military Secretary will be happy
to receive them and communicate their requests to
the Duke of Cambridge.
A circular memorandum has been received at
Woolwich from the War Department, abolishing the
post of Inspector of Ordnance, recently held by
Lieut.-Col. Freeth, who has been appointed Assist.-
Superintendent of the Royal Gun Factories. The
latter appointment has been held since the Crimean
war by Mr. Anderson, C.E., on Sir William Arm-
strong accepting the nominal superintendence. Mr.
Anderson is now appointed to the post of Superin-
tendent of the War Department Machinery, and,
according to the terms of the memorandum, he "is
to be granted the same salary of £1,200 per annum,
in recognition of his important services in the Royal
gun factories." This arrangement has been car-
ried out in fulfilment of the War Department regu-
lations, directing that the principal offices of the
Royal Arsenal shall be filled by officers of the Royal
Artillery, which were departed from only on the
appointment of Sir William Armstrong to the Royal
gun factories.
The colonelcy of the 99th (Lanarkshire) Infantry
has become vacant by the death of Major-General
John Napper Jackson, whose death was announced
yesterday as having occurred at St. Helier, Jersey,
aged 72. He entered the army July 1, 1805, and
served in the Peninsula from 1810 to the end of the
war in 1814. He obtained the colonelcy of the 3d
West India Regiment August 13, 1862, and of the
99th Foot June 30, 1863. He had received the war
medal and ten clasps for his services.

Yesterday morning the 2d Battalion of the 60th
Rifles passed through Liverpool, en route from Dover
to Dublin. They numbered 19 officers, two officers'
wives, 743 rank and file, 85 women, and 121 chil-
dren. They embarked on the City of Dublin Com-
pany's steamers Windsor and Trafalgar. They will
be quartered in Dublin city. No other movements
through Liverpool are at present reported at the
Admiralty agent's in that town.
Her Majesty's turret-ship Prince Albert, built at
Blackwall by Mr. Samuda, and completed at Wool-
wich, was yesterday hauled out of the fitting basin,
and, under her own steam, went down to No. 3
dock for the purpose of being examined as to the
state of her exterior hull, preparatory to her de-
parture for Plymouth. Her auxiliary and donkey
engines, intended for the interior purposes of the
ship, were tested and worked satisfactorily. The
engines, by Messrs. Humphrys and Tennant, are
on the most improved modern principles.
Capt. de Casembroot, naval aide-de-camp to the
King of the Netherlands, and who lately commanded
his Majesty's ship Cycloop when she conveyed the
Queen of the Netherlands to England,visited Wool-
wich dockyard on Wednesday last, and, after pay-
ing his respects to the Commodore Superintendent,
inspected the Prince Albert turret-ship, over which
he was shown by her captain. He expressed himself
highly gratified with the several arrangements on
board.

Mr. William Eames, chief engineer in the Royal
Navy, and formerly serving on the Victoria, 102,
Capt. J. J. Goodenough, flagship of Vice-Admiral
Sir R. Smart, K.C.8., commanding the Me-
diterranean squadron, has been appointed assistant
chief-engineer at Chatham dockyard, the appoint-
ment having been rendered necessary from the great
increase in the engineering department at that
establishment since it has become the principal dock-
yard for the construction of iron and armour-plated
ships. Mr. Eames is appointed nominally to the
IVellesley, 72, guardship at the port, but his duties
are entirely connected with the dockyard.
The Lords of the Admiralty have selected Mr. T.
Thornton, principal master-shipwright at Chatham,
to assist in the preparation of the plans, &c., con-
nected with the formation of the additional new docks
and basins proposed to be carried out at Malta.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :--- William B. Goldsmith, master,
to the Sitnoom ; Walter Lawrance, staff surgeon, to
the Frederick William ; Charles Sproull, surgeon,

There have been received by the Adjutant-
General, at Washington, about eight hundred applications
for a share in the rewards offered for the
,capture of the
assassination conspirators. The rewards now ready for
distribution amount to about $300,000. Arrangements
are being made by the claimants to get possession of the
rewards offered in the several States, amounting to over
a million of dollars, as soon as it is announced by
the Government who are entitled to a share of the
money.
