Naval and Military Intelligence.

A number of additional mechanics are now em-
ployed in the saw-mills at Chatham dockyard cutting
out the frames for the improved screw steamer
Blanche, 4,300 horse power, the keel of which has
just been laid down at Chatham dockyard. The
Blanche is intended to be an improved screw sloop,
of the Amazon class, and is one of four other wooden
unarmoured vessels of the same class built from the
designs of Mr. E. J. Reed. Her principal dimen-
sions are---Between the perpendiculars, 187 ft ;
length of keel for tonnage, 158 ft Sin ; extreme
breadth, 36ft ; breadth of tonnage, 35ft 10in ;
breadth moulded, 35ft 2in ; depth in hold, 19ft. 4in,
and burden 1,081 tons; her mean launching draught
is to be 9ft in.

The iron-used ship Research, 4, 1,523 tons, 200
horse power, Commander R. A. E. Scott, is No. 4
dock at Chatham, where she is having some rather
extensive alterations carried out, the chief of which
is the continuation of her midship battery deck fore
and aft, by which additional comfort and accommo-
dation will be provided for the officers and crew.
Her sides will be indented, as in the case of the
Pallas, to allow her battery guns to be fired ahead
and astern.

Inspection of Cavalry Barracks by her
Majesty.

On Saturday her Majesty the Queen, with their
Royal Highnesses Princesses Helena and Louise and
Prince Arthur, attended by Major-General Sey-
mour and Lady Waterpark, &c., inspected the new
wing lately built and the improvements now in pro-
gress at the cavalry barracks, Spital, near 'Windsor.
The Royal party occupied open carriages, and, pre-
ceded by outriders, left the Castle shortly after 11
o'clock, arriving at the barracks at a quarter past
the hour. The Ist Regiment of Life Guards in full
uniform, with band, under command of Colonel the
Hon. D. de Ros—the other officers present being
Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Mountcharles, Cap-
tain the Hon. R. W. Grosvenor, Captain the Earl
of Tyrone, Captain the Hon. Cecil Duncombe, Cap-
tain Bateson, Lieut. Limbert, Quartermaster Han-
ley, &c., paraded in front of the green facing the
officers' quarters, and received her Majesty with a
royal salute, the band playing, and the regiment
prosentingtl~e"Queen ex;tered the barracks.
Her Majesty droveslowly by the regiment, which was
drawn up in line, the four squadrons (dismounted)
on parade including about 280 of all ranks, the
actual strength of the regiment being, it is under-
stood, over 400 men. The Queen having inspected
the ranks alighted from the Royal equipage, and
with the Prince and Princess proceeded to the north
wing of the barracks, -which, at her Majesty's sug-
gestion, has been greatly altered, in order to give
better accommodation to the troopers. Colonel de
Ros and Quarter-Master Hanley had the honour
of conducting the Queen and the Royal party round
the barracks. The new floors have been erected
over the stables in the north wing, each of these
containing six large apartments, severally capable
of accommodating 14 troopers, while at each end
of the flat there are two smaller rooms for non-
commissioned officers. The whole of the rooms are
well arranged and ventilated, having been erected
by Messrs. Myers, the contractors, from the War-
• office plans. Communication between the floors is
obtained by light iron balconies, protected by veran-
dahs projecting from the front of the building.
Her Majesty ascended to the first floor, and visited
one or two of the apartments, including Corporal-
Major Partington's, and expressed great satisfac-
tion at the increased comforts provided by the new
arrangements. The Queen next visited the library,
children's school, and hospital in the south wing.
From the latter the Royal party walked to the plot
of ground lying between the Spital-road and the
Infantry Hospital, where an extensive group of
buildings is being erected as an addition to the pre-
sent barracks. The buildings in question form part
of the plan which was projected in consequence of
the inspection of the cavalry barracks by the Queen,
and the suggestions for improvement then thrown
out byher Majesty. The principal feature in the rear
group is the married soldiers' quarters—an exten-
sive structure 258 ft. by 18ft. Bin., the height to the
eaves being 24ft. It is divided into an upper and
lower story, with verandahs and staircases, and when
finished will provide accommodation for 34 married
troopers with their families. To the north-west of
this is the recreation room, 67ft. 9in. by 36ft., and
47ft. high. This will contain a fine room for recre-
ation 50ft. by 26ft., a coffee bar, reading and writ-
ing rooms, library, and other apartments. Near
the married soldiers' quarters is an infant school,
calculated to provide accommodation for 50 infants,
while almost in a line are the washhouse and laundry,
which will be fitted with coppers, drying closets,
ironing tables, &c.,
and the bath-house. Staff-ser-
geants' quarters, school and fencing-room, are, it is
believed, in contemplation. The plans were prepared
at the War-office, and their carrying out is under
the supervision of a military foreman from the corps
of Royal Engineers. The contractor for the new
buildings, which are making great progress, is Mr.
Sawyer, of Dulwich. The works are to be completed
in July, and the building will, it is expected, be
handed over to the military authorities by Septem-
ber. In a short time the works for the remodel-
ling of the south wing of the existing barracks are
to be commenced, and while these are being executed
a number of the troopers of the Royal Horse Guards,
who relieve the Ist Life Guards at Windsor this
week, will be lodged in the Riding School at
Windsor Castle. The Queen displayed great inte-
rest in the married soldiers' quarters, and conversed
for some time with the officers in attendance upon
the subject. Her Majesty having finished the ex-
amination of the new buildings returned to the
parade and entered her carriage, the regiment
(which had remained drawn up in the meantime)
changing front and facing the Royal equipage. A
troop of non-commissioned officers and men then
went through the " post " practice, under Riding-
master Cox, at a gallop, the exercise including the
various cavalry sabre cuts and thrusts. Her Ma-
jesty and the Royal family, who appeared greatly
amused at the dexterity displayed by the horsemen,
returned to the Castle at noon.
