Information was on Monday received at Wool-
wich announcing the intention- of his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge to inspect a portion
of the Artillery Corps on Wednesday, and to
witness a course of experimental target firing with
the battery guns. The Royal standard was ac-
cordingly hoisted on the flagstaff-in O-ArkEal at
12 o'clock yesterday, and the usual arrangements
for the reception of the Commander-in-Chief were
made throughout the garrison. Three batteries
belonging to the 4th field brigade, selected for the
experiments (in which some newly invented shells
were to have been brought forward), were drilled
on Tuesday on Woolwich-common for the occasion,
under the inspection of Major-General Sir Richard
Dacres, K.C.8., commanding the garrison, and were
yesterday drawn up on parade at 11 a.m. The troops
were subsequently marched down to the practising
range in the Plumstead-marsh, where they re-
mained till 1 o'clock, when a telegram from the
Horse Guards announced that his Royal Highness's
visit was deferred to some future day, in conse-
quence, it was stated, of the heavy fog, which it
was presumed would preclude the possibility of
witnessing the experiments with due effect. Each
battery was mounted with the full complement of
18 and 24-pounder guns. The General and Staff,
in full uniform, awaited the arrival of the Duke in
front of the artillery barracks, and the order was
given to fire a Royal salute from the saluting bat-
tery at a given signal. On the receipt of the mes-
sage from the Horse Guards the orders were imme-
diately countermanded, and the troops returned to
barracks. Active preparations have been in pro-
gress for some days past in the Rpyal Marine bar-
racks and the dockyard, Woolwich, in anticipation
of an official inspection by the Lords of the Admi-
ralty. It was yesterday announced that their
lordships have decided on being at Woolwich at
11 a.m. this morning. In fact (to quote their own
nautical phrase) everything was yesterday "ship.
shape" in every corner subject to their lordships'
inspection.
The new steam screw frigate Galatea, buildine.
at Woolwich, to carry 26 guns, is ordered to be

The following circular letter has just been for-
warded to the officers commanding the Royal Ar-
tillery, Royal Engineers, and depots of cavalry and
infantry, by order of the General Commanding-in-
Chief

" An instructorship in military drawing at the
Calet College, Sandhurst, having become vacant,
his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-
Chief has instructed me to desire that you, will in-
vite such officers under your command, as feel
themselves fitted for that appointment, to send to
this department, through you, their applications,
in order that the same may be referred to the
Council of Military Education for consideration and
report, not later than the 31st of August. Each
application must be accompanied by specimens
of the candidate's drawing, and by a reconnazs-
sance and report of a moderate extent of coun-
try. In forwarding an application you will be
pleased to state your opinion of the character of the
candidate, both personally and as an officer. The
salary attached to this instructorship is £3OO per
annum (inclusive of military pay), with quarters ;
or, in case quarters should not be provided, an al-
lowance in lieu thereof such as is accorded to a field
officer. The appointment will be probationary for
the first year.
" W. V. FOrtSTER, Deputy Adjutant-General."
Since the publication of the Royal warrant au-
thorizing the formation of a new branch of the
service, to be called the Army Hospital Corps,
and directing the present Medical Staff Corps to
be disbanded, the volunteers from the depots and
regiments of the Line have been so numerous as to
lead to the expectation that by the Ist of September,
the day on which the corps is to be organized, the
whole number of non-commissioned officers and
men will have been obtained. The new corps is to
consist of exactly 1,000 non-commissioned officers
and men, or considerably more than double the
number of the Medical Staff Corps. The pay of the
men will not, however, be so high as in the old
corps, the first class orderlies of which receive as
much as 2s. per day, exclusive of rations, a rate of
pay which has given rise to some dissatisfaction in
the other branches of the service. The non-com-
missioned officers, most of whom are in receipt. of
pensions for service in other corps, also receive
a higher scale of pay than their brethren of the
Line. In the new Army Hospital Corps the rate
of pay will be more assimilated, privates re-
ceiving Is. per day clear. The number of men

only about 40 have as yet volunteered for the new
corps, the remainder preferring to take their dis-
charge, which will be granted them on the Ist of
September. The head-quarters of the Army Hos-
pital Corps will be at Chatham, but the names of
the officers appointed to the staff have not yet been
announced.

[ADVERTISEMENTI—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now
beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer,
breeder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting
care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high
ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand-
ine• the many drawbacks, the male-vol.-4 .a.....e... .t.T-Leu
value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest.

Experience has proved? first, that it effects a considerable
saving in the consumption of provender ; secondly, that it
produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its
influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an
early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this
singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated
to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive
mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this
he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural
desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap-
plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng-
lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an
unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed
in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed
and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate thanby the employment
or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has
been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap
addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in
all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted
to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be
realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time
usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes
apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application
of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present
unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene-
ral use, in preference to any other of the usual articlesB ofl
