NAVAL AND 1111LInIRY IN7ELLIGENCE.

Yesterday the infantry regiments at Aldershot,
including the militia, were exercised in field move-
ments on the Queen's Birthday Parade Ground, by
Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett,
K.C.8., who arrived shortly after the formation,
and was received by the general salute, after which
he inspected the ranks, and, having taken up his
position at the saluting base, the troops marched
past in grand divisions in quick time, and in the fol-
lowing order :—Pioneers, bands and drums of the
Ist Brigade ; Staff and Major-Gen. H. Renny ;
Major Hamilton, V.C., and 2d Battalion Bth
(King's) Regiment; Col. Lord Norreys and Royal
Berkshire Militia Regiment; Lieut.-Col. Bowen and
57th Regiment ; Col. Halkett and 2d Tower Ham-
lets Militia; Col. Thomson and 54th (West Nor-
folk) Regiment ; pioneers, bands and drums of the
2d Brigade ; Staff and Major-Gen. Carey, C.B. ;
Lieut.-Col. Blythe and 40th Regiment ; Col. the
Earl of Lovelace and 2i Royal Surrey Militia ; Col.
Lord Enfield and 2d Middlesex (Edmonton) Rifles ;
Col. Harrison and 80th Regiment ; pioneers, bands,
drums, and bugles of the 3d Brigade ; Staff and
Major-Gen. Sir A. H. Horsford, K.C.B. ; Col. Agg
and 51st Regiment; Col. Evelyn and Ist Royal
Surrey Militia ; Col. Fane and the Oxfordshire
Militia ; Major Heathcote and the Hampshire
Militia. After marching past the troops re-formed
line of contiguous columns near their original
ground, changed front to right by brigades at wheel..
ing distance, .thence deployed outwards—the right
company to the right, the remainder to the left--
into three general lines by brigades, Gen. Renny's
Brigade leading, and fired three rounds by battalions
from right to left, the front rank kneeling. It was
relieved by the 2d Brigade, which also fired three
volleys from right to left, the 3d Brigade in reserve.
The 2d and 3d Brigades now changed direction to
left, fired volleys, and commenced independent fir-
ing, the Ist Brigade in line in reserve. Two pon-
toon bridges had already been thrown across the
Basingstoke canal—one at the foot of Claycart
Ridge, the other at Bridge-bill. Over the former
the Ist Brigade passed to the south side in sections
of fours. The supposed enemy having previously
turned the flank of the division threatening the re-
treat, the other two brigades formed squares, re-
sisted cavalry, and opened a heavy fire from the
flanks of faces until the Ist Brigade had effected its
retreat, when it was followed over the same bridge
by the 2d Brigade. The 3d Brigade now faced
about, and, covered by skirmishers, fought its way
to quarters. The let and 2d Brigades also marched
towards quarters, at which the whole arrived about
1 o'clock.

C and D batteries of the 11th Brigade Royal
Artillery are under orders to proceed to Aldershob
from Shorncliffe and Woolwich. On arrival C bat-
tery will be encamped on ground near the military

South Camp, with stabling in the Royal Engineer
Train yard.

A field-day of the troops comprising the division
at Chatham was held on Chatham lines yesterday
afternoon by Major-Gen. F. Murray, in command
of the forces. Those on the ground included the
whole of the corps in garrison, with the exception of
the Royal Engineers, who were formed in line of
contiguous columns, each man being provided with
the usual number of rounds of blank Snider ammu-
nition. On the arrival of Gen. Murray the troops
gave a general salute, the whole force subsequently
executing a variety of manoeuvres incidental to a
brigade field-day, the various corps returning to
their quarters late in the afternoon.
Rear-Admiral A. P. Ryder has been appointed
second in command of the Channel Squadron, for

dred and fifty thousand seals had arrived at St. John and
Harbour Grace.
COLNEY HATCH ASYLUM.—On Tuesday evening
last an amateur negro entertainment was given by a num-
ber of gentlemen, known as " The Black Diamonds of
Louisiana," to the inmates of the above-named institution.
Their entertainment was of a first-class character. The
programme was long and varied. Mr. H. W. Windsor
sang "Mary Blane," and also a song
composed expressly
for the troupe, called "Mother,
Weep Not," with great
feeling and expression. Mi. Nicholson, who possesses a
very fine tenor voice, sang " Phillis, dear Phillis," and
" Last Night I was Dreaming of You,"
in a style that met
with the most hearty applause. A quartett, " Dreaming
of Angels," was nicely rendered, and Mr. Mason's song,
"Parting Long Ago," was given in a very creditable
manner. The great attraction, however, of the evening
were "Bones" and "Pompey." Every movement of
these gentlemen was watched with the greatest delight.
Mr. Jones proved to be well up in his part as Bones,
and his rendering of " Ada with the Golden Hair" was
exceedingly good, but the great charm seemed to be
in Pompey's (Mr. Freeman) song, " Off to Brighton." The
principal feature in this song is the movement of the feet
during the chorus, and a gallop round on a chair by Pom-
pey. The audience seemed delighted beyond bounds at
this, and the majority heartily joined in the jig. The
second part consisted of a pianoforte solo by Mr. Verney,
which was artistically given, and the flageolet solo of Mr.
Will Andersen was well played. I,lr. Matthews played a
banjo solo. A scientific lecture by Mr. F. Jones, as Dr.
Mary Chalker, on anatomy, caused much merriment. A
most pleasing bit of absurdity followed, called the "Mar-
vels of Mesmerism," by Messrs. Freeman and Matthews.
The entertainment concluded with a walk round, in
which the whole company joined. The audience seemed
highly delighted, and the Black Diamonds can rely that
their kind efforts will be remembered for a long time to
come, and will always receive a hearty welcome at Colney
Hatch.
