MILITARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE

The Hercules, screw, armoured iron frigate, Capt,
Lord Gilford, steamed into Portsmouth harbour on
Saturday from Spithead, and to-day will be placed
in dock to clean her hull below the water line, in
course of preparation for her trial over the mea-
sured mile and at sea.

The Fox, screw storeship, Staff-Commander R.
H. Batt, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from
the westward, to receive stores from the dockyard

or conveyance to the eastward.

Port-Admiral Sir Win. F. Martin returned from
leave of absence on Saturday, and rehoisted his flag
on board the Royal Adelaide, 26, George W.
Preedy, C. 8., in Hamoaze.
It is rumoured at Plymouth that the paddle-
wheel despatch vessel Helicon, Commander El-
ward Field, now in the Sound, will take out Vice-
Admiral Sir Sydney C. Dacres, K.C.B. (a Lord
Commissioner of the Admiralty), to supersede
Vice-Admiral the Right Hon. Lord Clarence E.
Paget, C. 8., in command of the flagship Cale-
donia, 30, Capt. Alan H. Gardner, in the Mediter-
ranean. It is also rumoured that Admiral George
Elliot will supersede Rear-Admiral F. K. Warden,
C. 8., of the Minotaur, 34, Capt. James G. Goode-
nough.

We have to announce the sudden death of Major-
General Sir W. J. Ridley, on Friday night, after
leaving town for Norfolk. The late General was
the fourth son of Sir William, third Baronet, by
his wife Laura, youngest daughter of Mr. George
Hawkins. He was born in 1817, and entered the
Scots Fusilier Guards as Ensign and Lieutenant in
June, 1835. He subsequently obtained the rank
of Lieutenant and Captain, May 24, 1839 ; Captain
and Lieutenant-Colonel, November 24, 1818 ;
Colonel, November 23, 1854. Ile served in the
Eastern campaign of 1854. He had his horse shot
at the battle of the Alma, and received the medal
and clasp of the Order of the Mejidie and the
Turkish medal. General Ridley, after the resigna-

tiou of Sir henry Storks, was temporarily in com-
mand of the troops at Malta. In October, 1863,
he was appointed Major-General Commanding the
Ist Brigade at Malta, and after filling that office
for the customary period—five years—he bad just
returned home, and reported himself at the Horse
Guards, before his sudden death. The deceased
General is much lamented by the officers and others
connected with the Scots Fusilier Guards.
