Naval and Military Intelligence.

In consequence of the Indian regiments being now
recruited from those corps on the British establishment
which are above their required strength, the number of
troops now attached to the Provisional Battalion at
Chatham is greater than has been the case for several
years, the total strength of the battalion exceeding 4,000
men of all ranks, exclusive of officers. In order to pro-
vide barrack accommodation for this large number of
troops, it has been found necessary to quarter HO men,
belonging to the Indian depots, in the huts adjoining
Brompton Barrack', and 500 men are also stationed at
the Casemate Barracks with the Medical Staff C.irpe.
The depots at Chatham will give about 5,000 troops to
the Indian regiments during the approaching season.
Artificers are employed from five in the morning until
10 at night in Portsmouth dockyard, to equip the gun-
boat squadron for China enumerated yesterday as fitting
out at Portsmouth, and alio the troopships and frigate
Transit, Assistance, Adventure, Furious. The Transit
is so far complete that she was Awing in Partsmi
harbour yesterday for the adjustment of her compaisee,
and the others are all well forward. The experienced
hands of the ordinary flagship St. Vincent, Capt. Eliott,
and the steam reserve depot ship Blenheim, Capt. the
Hon. F. T. Pelham, C. 8., are helping in the rigging and
fitting departments. Tae Nimrod, 0, Commander Dew,
one of the gunboat squadron, was docked pstorday fir
examination, and will be removed into the basin to-
day. The Shannon, 51, Captain Peel, C. 8., which has
been prevented by the severe gales of the, last tvio
days from shipping the guns and other heavy stores
she is to take out to China, shipped them yesterday,
and will probably leave for her destination to-clay. Tne
chips intended to carry troops will be most rigidly in-
spected and reported on prior to their embarkation by
Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour and the Assistant
Quartermaster. General of the South-West District., Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Wright, so as to insure safety, health,
and comfort to the men.

The Dolphin, 3, Commander E. Webber (1853), is
being stripped at Chatham, previously to being paid off
into ordinary. She has been in commission nearly four
years.

The following appointments wercomade yeBterday at
the Admiralty :
Lieutenant Charles Parry, to the Surprise ; W. Ellis
(b), master to the B:enheim; George Stanley, Second
master to the Porcupine ; Hamilton S. Cole, clerk to the
Furious. •

Sporting Intelligence.
The business tran,acted must not be measured by the
somewhat long list of quotations which we were enabled
to compile. Not until late in the afternoon, when the
settling of the Doncaster and Salisbury accounts was
concluded, were operations actively resumed, and they
were important only with regard to two or three horses.
St. Giles was in good demand for both the Northampton-
shire Stakes and Metropolitan; 100 to 6 was offered
against him for the Chester Cup, for which event we be-
lieve ho had been backed in the City at 20 to 1.
For the Two Thousand 5 to 1 was taken about Vedette.
A large outlay was made in favour of Lord of the Hills
at 11 to 1. The odds quoted against Apathy were laid
to 1501. Blink Bonny was in considerable force for the
,Derby at 12 to 1, odds which were taken freely about
her early in the afternoon, but offered at the close.
1,400 to 100 was taken about M.D, and afterwards
offered. 20 to Ito 1001. was booked about Bird in the
Hand. Lady Hawthorn again came into favour; at
first 30 to 1 was taken about her, but at last a good deal
of business was done at 25 to 1. 40 to Iti 1001. was
!aid against Mr. Cooper's lot. About 9001. were in-
vested on lots of ten azai net the field. 20 to 1 was the
highest offer against Kent. Closing.prices :
