THE ARMY.

Gen. Sir J. F. Burgoyne, Bart., G.C.8., Inspector-
General of Fortifications, arrived from London on
Wednesday, and was occupied nearly the entire
day in the inspection of the coast fortifications be-
longing to the Chatham district. The principal
points of the fortifications inspected were the de-
fences at the mouth of the Medway for protection
of the important arsenals and naval establishments
at Sheerness and Chatham, Sir John Burgoyne
being accompanied by the resident officer command-
ing Royal Engineers at Sheerness. The line of
fortifications seaward were very minutely inspected,
and the attention of the Inspector-General of For-
tifications directed to certain points of the defences
which require to be materially strengthened. From
what transpired during the visit of General Sir J.
Burgoyne, it is understood that the strength of the
fortress at Sheerness will shortly be considerably
augmented by the erection of a line of inland bat-
teries. The defences on the north side of the en-
trance to the River Medway are also to be mate-
rially strengthened. At present that portion of
the river's entrance is defended only by a circular
martello tower of great strength, mounting three
68-pounder guns, each of 95 cwt. The addition
which it is proposed to make, however, will consist
of two permanent works, on which will be mounted
a powerful armament, consisting of 100-pounder
long range Armstrong guns, and 68-pounder and
10-inch guns, and these, in conjunction with the
new line of fortifications shortly to be commenced
on the south side of the estuary of the Medway,
will render the entrance to that river almost impas-
sable to any hostile vessel, and materially add to
the security of the dockyards at Chatham and
Sheerness. After completing a careful survey of
the fortifications General Sir J. Burgoyne returned
to town.
The Duke of Cambridge has given directions for
the immediate issue of a supply of Martin's liquid
shells for the service of the 68 pounder and 10-inch
guns mounted on the works connected with the
Chatham line of defences at Tilbury Fort, New
Tavern Fort, and Sheerness. The cupolas for "
ing the iron with which Martin's shells are
