tern, and 38 non-commissioned officers and men ;
2d battalion, 4th Foot, 1 capk and 40 non-commis-
sioned officers and men. ForThlalta—lst 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 Megcera will sail

she will embark, in addition to the above, nine offi-

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 thickness. 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
anchor at the Nore and in the estuary of the Med-
way is deemed by the authorities sufficient to an-
swer all 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 Bear-Admiral the Hon. Fre-
derick Thomas Pelham, C. 8., Captain Woodford John
Williams (1841) is advanced to the active list of Rear-
Admirals.—Army and Navy Gazette.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

On Saturday the Duke of Cambridge inspected
the London Rifle Brigade, of which his Royal
Highness is Colonel, in Hyde Park, in the presence
of some thousands of spectators, many of whom
were persons of rank and distinction. The regi-
ment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Hicks, mustered, to the number of upwards of 800
in the quadrangle of Christ's Hospital, and 15 rounds
of blank cartridge to each man having been served
out, marched off about four o'clock preceded by their
bands, by way of Holborn and Oxford-street to the
Park, entering at Grosvenor-gate. Arrived on the
ground, which was kept on the occasion by the Ist
Surrey Rifles, under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Macdonald, the brigade formed open
column, and then wheeled into line. At half-past
five the Commander-in-Chief appeared upon the
ground and was received with a Royal salute. His
Royal Highness was accompanied by a small
staff, among whom were General Sir James Yorke
Scarlett, General Sir Richard Airey, and General
Foster. At the conclusion of the ceremony the
Commander-in-Chief briefly addressed the officers
and men of the regiment, speaking in compll'
mentary terms of the remarkable efficiency to
which they had attained. His Royal Highness
especially remarked on the absence of noise and
confusion during the movements, the steadiness
in forming line, and the rapidity of file-firing•
Regarding the movements of the day as proofs
of what the brigade could do, he would have ne
hesitation in placing the most implicit reliance upon
them if ever the hour of danger should arrive, and
they should be called to active service in the field.
He was gratified to observe that the men were 00
well handled by their commanding officer, and that
he was so efficiently supported by the offices of his
staff, and of the regiment generally. On parting
his Royal Highness urged them not to relax in their
attention to the important duties of the drill. Re"
tiring with his staff to a little distance, the brigade
formed again into line, the salute was given, and
the lends played the National Anthem, with which
th. oeremonv terminated.
On Saturday evening Lord Clyde inspected the
London Scottish Volunteers, under the command of
Lord Elcho, their Lieutenant-Colonel, in Regent's
Park, in the presence of a large concourse of spec-
tators. The corps, to the number of nearly 500,
divided into eight companies, had mustered at the
Wellington Barracks, and marched thence, preceded
by their band and pipers, among whom Ross, her
Majesty's piper, was conspicuous, by way of Con-
stitution-hill, Hyde Park, and Baker-street, to the
open part of Regent's Park, in front of Holford-
house, where the inspection took place. The
ground was kept by the Queen's Westminsterol
under the command of Lord Grosvenor. About
o'clock Lord Clyde, accompanied by Colonel Ers-
kine, Deputy Inspector of Volunteers, and Sir
Hope Grant, rode within the lines, receiving as he
did so the customary military salute from the.
corps. The veteran General wore the uniform 0.1
the London Scottish Volunteers, of which he 10
Colonel, in its simplest form, and without the
slightest decoration. The corps, remarkable for its
smart, soldierlike appearance, was drawn up in line,
and the General began the inspection by riding
slowly along the ranks, front and back. Lord
Clyde, attended by Colonel Erskine, then retired
to a little distance within the lines, and the corps,
wheeling to the right, marched past in quick time,
in companies in open column, to the music of the
band and pipes. At the conclusion of the evolu-
tions Lord Clyde advanced towards the front of the
corps, which had then resolved itself into a solid
square, and delivered a brief address, the officers,
including Lord Elcho, Sir David Baird, the Mar'
quip of Abercorn, and Captain and Adjutant Flood-
Page, being grouped around him. "I cannot," he
said, " express to you how much I have been sur-
prised and delighted with what I have seen to-day
When I see such a body of Scotchmen devoting
themselves, at great personal sacrifice, to the Volun'
teer service in the capital of the United Kingdom,
and showing a proficiency which can only be se'
quired by long and arduous practice, I confess 1 ail
prouder of my country than I ever was before, and
I hope for the honour and fame of Scotland you
will continue to uphold the position to which you
have attained. As an old soldier and a Scotclumatt
what I have seen to-day has charmed me more,
than I can well express, and I wish all Goa
night.' " At the instance of Lord Elcho, three
enthusiastic cheers were given for their colonel by
the corps, who also waved their caps on their
bayonets, and with that the ceremony terminated.
