Naval and Military Intelli;ence.

•
The division at Alclershott, under the command
of Lieut.- Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett,
K.C.8., has been exercised by brigades in route-
marching during the past week. On Tuesday the
Cavalry Brigade, under the command of Major-
Gen. Hodge, C. 8., consisting of the 3d (King's
Own) Hussars, the 17th Lancers, and the 15th (the
King's) Hussars proceeded in the direction of Farn-
ham, and returned to camp after a march of over
two hours. On Wednesday the 2d Infantry Brigade,
under the command of Col. Peel, Acting Brigadier,
consisting of the 28th Regiment and the 52d Light
Infantry, marched out, ascended Hungry-hill, and,
with a company from each battalion covering the
advance of the brigade passed on to Bricksburg-hill,
and thence to Farnham, returning by the lower road
from that town to quarters. On Thursday the Ist
Infantry Brigade, under the command of Brigadier-
Gen. Renny, consisting of the 66th and 81st Regi-
ments, marched to Pyestock, where a halt was made,
and the 66th was sent out on outpost duty. The
regiments subsequently crossed and recrossed the
Basingstoke Canal, and executed several manoeuvres
before returning to quarters. The batteries of artil-
lery also marched out on different days. In pur-
suance of orders, the division will march out to-
morrow morning, in the division of Bagshot, Black-
water, Frimley, and Sandhurst. The Cavalry Bri-
gade and the Royal Horse Artillery, under the coin-
man of Major-Gen. Hodge, C. 8., will proceed to
a certain point near Bagshot, and take up a position
at a distance of about eight miles from camp. Bri-
gadier-Gen. Kenny's brigade will proceed toFrimley,
and take up position with patrols on the different
roads ; distance, between five and six miles. The 2d
Infantry Brigade will take up position at Frimley-
green, with patrols thrown out to the front on both
flanks. The 3d Infantry Brigade will proceed from
the North Camp through the villages of Hawley
and Blackwater, and tal-e up a position on the
College-grounds, between the lake and the college,
with pickets to the left front, also patroling
the Bagshot and Frinaley roads; distance about
seven miles. A battery of field artillery will be
attached to the Ist and 2d Brigades. The object of
this combined movement is to check the advance of
an enemy from the north, either by tho main road
from London through Bagshot, or any parallel
roads, or accessible country on either side of such
roads. The guns and cavalry skirmishers are to be
provided with five rounds of ammunition each, and
the brigades to be in position by b alf -past 10 o'clock.

In accordance with a recent order from the Horse
Guards the infantry regiments at Aldershot are be-
ing exercised in " running drill." The running dis-
tance is at present 300 yards, which will be even-
tually increased to 1,000 yards. The pace is not to
exceed six miles per hour. When the men have had
the necessary amount of practice most of the move-
ments hitherto performed in ordinary time will be
executed at the " double." If the new drill is in-
troduced with a view to make rapidity of movement
coincide with the use of the breech-loader, it will
become a question whether the knapsack must not
be abolished, as movements at the double for any
length of time with the weight of knapsack and ac-
coutrements would necessarily induce an amount of
fatigue which in action would tell severely upon the
soldier. If the range of our breech-loader is greater

than that of any other musket the advantage of the
running drill may be incalculable, as it would seem
possible to annihilate an opposing line with impu-
nity, retire rapidly, and show a new front. But,
apart from the question of the relative range of fire,
success in action so often depends upon rapidity of
movement that it is satisfactory to find the autho-
rities of the War Department endeavouring to make
it a most important feature of military tactics in
conjunction with the Snider musket.
An order has been received from the Horse
Guards directing the draught of the 2d battalion
16th Regt., now under orders to join the service
companies in Barbadoes, and consisting of Lieuts.
Pyne and Tabb, 57 rank and file, one officer's wife,
and one child, to be held in readiness to embark at
Liverpool on or about the 24th inst. In accordance
with instructions contained in a route received from
the Quartermaster-General to the Forces, the de-
pot 82d Regiment, under the command of Captain
Briggs, left Colchester on Saturday, and proceeded
by rail to join the 2d depot battalion at Chatham.
Vice-Admiral Wm. Hamley died on Wednesday

last. He entered the navy at 13, and was lieut. of
the Pallas in the Walchern expedition, and of the
Havannah, when he was officially reported for his
gallant conduct at the capture of some vessels near
the Peumarks in 1812, and was present at the cap-
ture and destruction of an armed vessel and convoy
under the towns of Vasto and Fortore in 1813, be-
sides in several minor boat actions. He commanded
the batteries at the siege and capture of the fortress
of Zara in the same year, and had his name honour-
ably mentioned in the Gazette four times in 1814.
He obtained his commission as Lieut. Jan. 20,

1807 ; Commander June 15, 1814 ; and post rank
Oct. 20, 1834. He was placed on the retired list
under her Majesty's Order in Council in 1846, be-
came Rear-Admiral Dec. 1, 1856, and Vice-Admiral
Dec. 12, 1863. The late Admiral was a Knight of
Leopold of Austria, and had also received the
Austrian gold medal.
One of the most essential of the many points for
consideration in the design and construction of docks
is necessarily the provision of a means of egress for
the water on the admission of a ship for examina-
tion or repair. This is sometimes effected by simply
pumping out the water—a somewhat long process,
as pumping engines are generally fitted for the pur-
pose—and otherwise by a combined system of pump
and reservoir, the latter being constructed ou a
lower level than the floor of its adjoining docks.
Even, however, when pumps and reservoir have
been combined, as is the case now with several of
the old docks of Portsmouth yard, the work of
emptying the dock of water on the admission of a
ship remains a difficult matter, and it is often late at
night before a ship can be shored up and secured on
her blocks. In constructing the Minotaur or No. 11
dock at Portsmouth, the pumping system has alone

been adopted for emptying the dock of water, but this
appears to be so efficient as to altogether supersede
the necessity for reservoirs as an additional power
for rapidly filling or emptying docks or basins, and
has also again established the great superiority of
the centrifugal over all other forms of pumping gear
in dealing with large volumps of water where the
time occupied in the work done is of importance.
No. 11 dock at Portsmouth yard is connected with
and entered from the steam basin. In constructing
this dock a centrifugal pump was erected at its head
by Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Co., of London, under
contract with the Admiralty, and connected by cul-
verts with the No. 11 dock and the steam basin, and
also with the reservoir of the old docks of the yard.
The official trials of this centrifugal pumping-engine
have been made during the past week, the last trial
having come off on Saturday, and have been attended
with very remarkable success. No.ll dock and the
connecting steam basin were selected for the pump's
trials as affording perfectly reliable data by which to
measure its capabilities. The pump, which is in
reality, as may be supposed, simply an " Appold," is
Gft. Gin. in diameter, and has nine blades or vanes.
It is fixed on vertical shafting, like the hydraulic
wheel of her Majesty's ship \Vaterwitch, and is
driven by two engines of 40-horse power, no-
minal, each; the cylinders having a diameter
of 30 in., and a stroke of 30 in., steam being
cut off at one-fourth stroke. Steam is supplied to
the engines by two double-flue Cornish boilers, each
25ft. in length and 7ft. in diameter, and having two
2ft. 9in. flues. Culverts Bft. by Gft. communicate
with the outside water of Portsmouth harbour, either
for ingress or egress, and with the steam basin inde-
pendent of No. 11 dock. A circular culvert of Oft.
diameter communicates with the pump from the
head of No. 11 dock. There is also communication
