TIIE ARMI'.

In accordance with orders issued by Colonel
Chapman, C. 8., Deputy-Adjutant-General of the
Royal Engineers, the 2d Company of Royal Engi-
neers, under the command of Lieut. A. J. Mac-
donnell, will leave Brompton barracks, Chatham,
this morning and proceed to Aldershott camp, where
it will relieve the 18th (Capt. G. Longley's) com-
pany-, which has received orders to quit the camp
and proceed to Portsmouth, there to relieve the
36th (Capt. E. 0. Hewett's) company. The 36th
company will move to Chatham this day for the
purpose of forming one of the four depot companies
of Royal Engineers ordered to be organised at
head- quarters.

The Duke of Newcastle, on the recommendation
of Col. St. George Ord, R.E., has appointed Ser-
geant-Instructor Adams, R.E., who was in charge
of the party of Royal and Indian Engineers on the
occasion of the late explosion at the Royal En-
gineer laboratory, and who was subsequently dis-
missed from that appointment, to be foreman of
works at the Bermuda convict prison. Sergeant
Adams will at once leave the corps of Royal
Engineers and proceed to his post at Bermuda.
The proceedings and finding of a somewhat
remarkable trial by district court-martial, which
has recently taken place at Chatham, on a Sapper
of the Indian Engineers, named Benjamin Emmons,
having been confirmed by the Major-General com-
manding the district, have been promulgated to the
troops. The prisoner was tried for the serious
offence of striking his superior officer, Sergeant
Bergin, Royal Engineers, while in the execu-
tion of his duty, but during the trial it was
elicited that the non-commissioned officer on being
struck by the prisoner immediately knocked him
down and severely assaulted him, after which
he handed him over to be tried by court-
martial. The Court, on these facts being esta-
blished, strongly animadverted in their finding on
the conduct of Sergeant Bergin, but at the same
time sentenced the prisoner to 168 days' impri-
sonment. On the sentence being submitted to
Major-Gen. Eyre he severely censured the con-
duct of the sergeant, who himself ought to have
been tried by court-martial, and directed 140 days
of the prisGner's sentence to be remitted, at the same
time ordering Sergeant Bergin to be severely
reprimanded in the presence of the whole of the
non-commissioned officers ; which order has been
carried into effect.

The Rev. H. P. Wright, chaplain to the forces,
and formerly principal chaplain to the army in the
Crimea, has been appointed to the Archdeaconry of
British Columbia. This appointment does not
remove Mr. Wright from his long connection with
the army.
The let battalion 11th Regiment (North Devon),
under the command of Col. Edward Moore, were
yesterday officially inspected by Major-General
Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., commanding the south-west
district. The regiment was drawn up
barrack-square parade. ground, where Lord William,
attended by his staff, arrived at 11 30 a.m., and
was received with the usual honours. The regiment
then marched past in slow and
went through a variety of manoeuvres, at the con-
clusion of which close column of wings was formed.
His lordship then asked if any man had any com-
plaints to make, and on being informed
quick
i thati time,h
and
no onee
had, his lordship said ,‘I did not expect to have any
complaints from this battalion ; but I am not now
make you a complimentary speech. You
going to
already know my opinion of you, as during the two
years I have had you under my command I have
repeatedly expressed it. I am, I fear, about to lose
you, and I very much regret it." His lordship
afterwards inspected the regimental books, schools,
and barracks.
