Naval and Military intedigen.ce.

Yesterday menthe: the Duke of Cambridge inspected
the men row in garriso❑ at Colchester. He was accom-
panied by Major-General Sir G. A. Wetherell, K.C.8.,
Adjutant General, and C..lonel Tyrwhitt., one of the
aides-de-camp to his Royal Highness. They were met
by Lieutenant-General Gascoigne, c-)menander of the
district, and a brilliant staff. Upon his arrival at the
camp his Royal Highness found the 12 depots, com-
prising three battalions, under the command of Colonel
Street, as senior officer, drawn up in heavy marching
order. There were is the aggregate about 2,500
men, who received the Commander-in-Chief with a
Royal Belot., the bands playing the National Anthem.
The men then went through the exercises of a general
parade, the limited size of the parade-ground prevent-
ing any complicated evolutions, and, the troops
having been dismissed to their quarters, his Royal
Highness afterwards proceeded to the inspection of
the camp. The school, both for infants and boys
and girls, were the first objects of his Royal Highness's
attention—one class of boys being questioned in arith-
metic by the Commander-in-Chief, who expressed his
pleasure at the efficiency which they displayed in this
particular branch of their studies. The schoolroom for
instruction in musketry, the married and single men's
huts, the serjeants' mesaroom and kitchen, the new
military prison, and cookhouses and washhouses, were
inspected, and, his Royal Highness having conversed
with Lieutenant-Colonel Armstrong, Colonel Street, and
Colonel Whitmore, the officers in command of the seve-
ral battalions, left the camp to inspect the farm, situated
about two miles from the camp, recently purchased by
Government for the purpose of musketry practice. His
Royal Highness returned to London by the 2 p.m.
train.

Lieutenant-General Sir Charles W. Pasley, K.C.8.,
R E., paid a visit to Chatham garrison on Wednesday
for the purpose of inspec.ing the pontoons which were
brought home from Kertch by the troops of the Turkish
Engineer Corps, and deposited with the other stores
on the Gun wharf, under the direction of Captain G.
Allan. The pontoons, which are of the same descrip-
tion as those invented by Major-General Blanchard, and
now used in the corps of Royal Engineers, are 64 in
number, and occupy a considerable space. On being
landed they were placed on the pontoon-waggons, where
they have since remained, but as soon as accommoda-
tion can be provided for them at Brompton Barracks
they will be removed to that establishment, to be used
by the men of the Royal Engineers in their pontooning
experiments. General Pasl.-y made a careful inspection
of the whole of the pontoons, which appear to be in
good condition and fit for use, During his visit to
Chatham Sir C. Pasley also inspected a newly-invented
iron gabion, which has received the approval of General
SirJ. Burgoyne, Inspectur-General of Fortifications, and
other engineer officers.
The reduction in the army is still beir g carried on at
Chatham, and yesterday morning 58 non-commissioned
officers and men received their discharge.
