Military Intelligence.

The screw steam frigate Doris, 30, Capt. Vesey,
having had the defects in her machinery made good,
was taken yesterday outside Plymouth Breakwater
and tested, under the inspection of Capt. Edmon-
stone and the officers of the steam reserve in Ha-
moaze. She will sail again shortly for her station,
North America.

The paddle-wheel steam frigate Gladiator, 6,
Capt. Aplin, is appointed to embark a detachment
of the 66th Regt. at Plymouth, for conveyance to
Aldershot, via Portsmouth, whence she will carry a
detachment of the 13th to Plymouth.
The second trial of the iron frigate Bellerophon at
light draught of water will take place at Portsmouth
to-morrow or Saturday. According to the arrange-
ments of the Admiralty, so far as they were known
yesterday at Portsmouth, the frigate will not be
again tried at her present draught of water over the
measured mile. When her funnels have been
shortened she will steam outside the harbour and
remain somewhere off Spithead a sufficient time to
work the engines up to their maximum strength,
when indicator diagrams will be taken with the in-
dicated horse power of the engines and the number
of their revolutions, which will be forwarded to the
Admiralty for comparison with the results under
the same two heads obtained on the recent light-
draught speed trial of the ship with her lengthened
funnels in use. It is not, however, improbable that
these last orders may be superseded by others before
this notice appears in print.
The Ida Zeigler, hired sailing troopship, with the
headquarters of the 70th Regiment and invalids.on
board, whose arrival at Spithead from New Zealand
was announced in The Sun of yesterday, discharged
the invalids yesterday morning early into a Govern-
ment steamer at Spithead, and immediately after-
wards sailed for Dover to land the 70th Regiment
there for Shorncliffe Camp.
The sailing Indiam an Agamemnon, Capt. Marder,
whose arrival at Spithead from Bombay was an-
nounced in The Sun of yesterday, with the head-
quarters of the 56th Regiment on board, was towed
into Portsmouth harbour yesterday by Government
steamers, and the troops disembarked at the dock-
yard. The 56th, headed by the bands of regiments
in Portsmouth garrison, marched into quarters in
the Clarence Barracks, Portsmouth. After the dis-
embarkation had been effected the Agamemnon was
again towed out to Spithead, and continued her
voyage under canvas thence to London.
The sailing Indiaman Dilawur, Captain James
Baillie, whose arrival in Plymouth Sound from Vin-
goria Bay, with the headquarters of the 44th Regi-
ment on board, was announced in Ihe Sun of Mon-
day, arrived at Spithead yesterday. She will be
taken into Portsmouth harbour this morning to dis-
embark the 44th, who then proceed by special train
to Dover for Shorncliffe.

The Trafalgar Indiaman, one of Messrs. Green's
Indian fleet, arrived at Spithead yesterday, with
military invalids on board, from Calcutta. They will
be transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital, at
Netley, this morning, and the ship will then sail
again for London to deliver her cargo of seeds and
Indian produce.
