THE ARMY.

The Megfera, screw troopship, Commander Hen-
derson, will embark the following troops to-day :
For Corfu.—The 30th company of Royal Engi-
neers, consisting of 1 captain, 1 subaltern, 83 non-
commissioned officers and men ; 1 officer's wife, 1
child, and 2 servants; 7 soldiers' wives and 14
children ; 2d battalion 2d Foot, 1 captain, 1 subal-
tern, and 38 non-commissioned offieeri and men ;
2d battalion, 4th Foot, 1 capt. and 40 non-commis-
sioned officers and men. For Malta-Ist battalion
22d Foot, Lieut. Baker and 30 men ; 2d battalion
22d Foot, Lieut. Harrison (and wife and child) and
30 men ; 2d battalion 23d Foot, one subaltern and
20 men ; 4th battalion Rifle Brigade, Lieut., Travers
and 30 men. To-morrow the Megmra will rail
from Portsmouth, calling in at Queenstown, where
she will embark, in addition to the above, nine offi-
cers, 158 non commissioned officers and men, five
women and seven children, of various corps, for
service at Gibraltar, Malta, and Corfu.

Orders were on Saturday received at Chatham
directing that the whole of the 8-inch guns, toge-
ther with their carriages and platforms, mounted
in the Cavalier Battery at the entrance to the
River Medway, are to be immediately dismounted
and removed to the storekeeper's department at
Sheerness, preparatory to their being forwarded to
Woolwich, it having at length been found necessary
that this work, in addition to the 20 8-inch guns
which have already been dismounted in the Half-
moon Battery, should also be removed in order to
enable the contractors to commence the reconstruc-
tion of the fortifications with the greatest possible
expedition. On account of the soft loose nature of
the ground on which the fortifications are required
to be constructed, the substructure will require to
be carried to a considerable depth, the mass of ma-
sonry forming the foundation being laid on a bed
of concrete of great thidkness. It has not been
considered necessary to fortify the approaches to
the river Medway during the reconstruction of the
new works, as the armed flotilla which rides at
aschor at the Nore and in the estuary of the Med-
way is deemed by the authorities sufficient to an-
swer ail the purposes of a blockade in case of an
attack. The powerful batteries about to be erected
on the north shore of the Medway, abutting on the
Isle of Grain, are in course of progress, and the staff
connected with the Royal Engineer establishment
have been employed for some days past in making
the necessary preparations for laying the founda-
tions, but the construction will require some time
to achieve on account of the alluvial nature of the
soil and the treacherous character of the substratum
on which the masses of brickwork will be placed.
All the new works are to be armed exclusively with
the 100-pounder and 120-pounder Armstrong guns,
for firing either shot or shell.

By the death of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Fre-
derick Thomas Pelham, C.B , Captain Woodford John
Williams (1841) is advanced to the active list of Rear-
Admirals.—Army and Navy Gazette.
