NARCHINg.

ADMIRALTY, AUG. 9.

The Archduke Maximilian of Austria, attended
by Count Rudolphe Apponyi, Austrian Ambassador
in London, yesterday visited the Royal Arsenal at
Woolwich under the incognito of Count Lacroma.
The Prince having expressed his desire to sec the
manufacture of the Armstrong guns, was conducted
through the smiths' shops, where the progress of
forming the various parts of the gun is carried out
igne agency ofdetail

rifled ordnance department. His Imperial Highness
stated his intention of being present at Shoebury-
ness in a few days to witness the firing of one of
the guns. _

His Highness Halim Pacha visited the Royal
gun factories on the preceding day, by special order
from Col. Tulloh, Director-General of Ordnance in
London.

The depot companies of the 73d Regiment sta-
tioned at Chatham are under orders to leave that
garrison to join the head-quarters of the regiment,
shortly expected to arrive in England from India.
Ihe detachment of the 73d doing duty at Tilbury
Fort, has been removed to Chatham, where it ar-
rived on Thursday evening, and a party of officers
and men of the 31st Regiment has been sent to
Tilbury to do garrison duty at that fort.

COLONEL 31‘31URDO ON VOLUNTEER

After an inspection of the Durham and Northum-
berland Volunteers, held at Newcastle-on-Tyne this
week, Col. M'Murdo said :—" I have noticed, and
other general officers have noticed, that a great dif-
ference of cadence in the time of marching is per-
ceptible with corps. Now, I cannot too strongly
impress upon all these corps, and especially upon
smaller corps that have not the opportunity of meet-
ing for constant marching out, how necessary it is
to have one uniform cadence step. The reason is
this—l have found as much as 20 paces a minute
difference between the marching of corps. Now,
just consider what 20 paces a minute will do in six
hours; my own calculation is that it would cause
a difference in the marching of bodies of men of
three miles and upwards—of three miles and a-half
—in six hours, or half a day's march. Read the
papers of to-day, and you will see in all great
battles, in all great operations, an army cannot
follow one line or road. An army must have seve-
ral roads in order to come in front of the enemy
and deploy there. Therefore it is necessary that
the bodies of men marching along these different
lines towards the enemy should march exactly with
the same pace, or else if there is a difference, which
I have perceived of 20 paces in a minute, one
column would reach the enemy, while the other
column would be some 31 miles short of reaching
the front where the battle should begin. An active
enemy would not be slow in taking advantage of
such circumstances by falling in and crushing the
first enemy that showed front in his presence. He
would have an enemy to throw back of superior
force, and even beat that enemy in detail. There-
fore I hope that I have shown the necessity of
having one uniform step throughout the force, and
that is the regulation step of 108 paces in the
minute. Now, most of you have bands ; and I hope
you will make your bandmasters have a plumet, and
that plummet going at the rate of 108 strokes
Per minute. You must exercise your bands
throughout the winter in marching at that time ;
and so it will take the ears, and so come
to the feet of the men. Autumn, as you
know, is now approaching, and with it will come
the marching out. I have seen a great deal of
Volunteers in this country ; and I am delighted with
what I have seen this day, because I see you are on
the high road to efficiency. I hope that in your
marching out for the winter you will not assume it
to be a mere promenade, but try to knock a little
use out of it. When you march along the road,
always form your advance and your rearguard.
That is laid down in a section of the book, and it
will be extremely useful not only for the officers
commanding battalions, but for the officers com-
manding the sections or companies of men. Both
of these might consider as they march along the
road, What shall Ido if the enemy were supposed
to be in the neighbourhood ? How shall I approach
the turn of the road ? How shall I enter the village
in front ?' All these questions should pass through
the mind of the officer as he walks along the road
in his marching out. It would be of great benefit
to himself and to the service, because there is no-
thing
more important in the marches of great bodies
of men than the advance guard and rearguard bein g
intelligent men, and the officers .knowing their
duty."
