NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday the Duke of Cambridge, Field-Marshal
Commanding-in-Chief, visited Aldershott Camp,
and saw the division put through some interesting
field movements. At half-past 9 o'clock the troop,
under the command of Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir
James Yorke Scarlett, K.C. 8., formed up westwards
of Cocked-hat Wood, in two divisions, the one
commanded by Major-General Renny, and the other
by Major-General Carey, C.B. The right of the
first division extended to the reservoir at Bouncy
Bottom, and the left to Cocked-hat Wood, flanked
by the Ist Life Guards at the foot of Pyestock-hill,
all facing east. The 10th Hussars were posted on
Chestnut-hill, and batteries of artillery were placed
on the flanks and at intervals. The cavalry were
under cover of the hills on the steeplechase ground,
and the whole covered by a strong line of skirmishers.
The division was thus arranged to attack a supposed
enemy in position on Eelmore-hill, with his right
resting near the canal and his left almost at the
base of Caesar's-hill. Shortly before 11 o'clock a
battery on Long-hill commenced a tremendous can-
nonade, which was taken up by all the batteries
along the line, and the skirmishers opened fire at
the same time. General Carey, with his division
of infantry, advanced steadily into the Long-valley,
across which the heavy brigade made demonstra-
tions, and forced back the enemy's right until it
rested near the Queen's Pavilion, and his left at
Eelmoor-hill south. General Carey's division now
changed front to right by degrees, until its left rested
upon the Queen's Pavilion. Meantime the artil-
lery from every hill had been maintaining a heavy
cannonade, those posted at the base of Caesar's-hill
enfilading the enemy's position. The plan of action
being so far developed, General Renny advanced
with his brigade from under cover of the wood, and
changed front to right gradually until it came into
alignment with the second division, it then fired
volleys by battalions, advancing 50 paces between
each volley, and at the same time the artillery took
him in front and in flank. The 10th Hussars and
4th Dragoon Guards gained the plateau of Caesar's
Camp, and commanded Hungry-hill, while the
heavy brigade on the left delivered magnificent
charges. The enemy now retired discomfited, and
the infantry, forming column of battalions, pro-
ceeded to the saluting-base, which was fixed
ou a piece of level ground westwards of
the Queen's Pavilion. The Duke then saw
the troops march past the artillery and
cavalry in open column of batteries and squadrons
at a walk, and the infantry in open column of grand
divisions. The corps on the ground were—C, D,
and E batteries Royal Horse Artillery ; the Ist,
4th, and sth Dragoon Guards ; 10th Hussars ; A,
B, C, and D batteries 11th Brigade Royal Artillery;
Ist battalion Grenadier Guards ; 2d battalion, 2d
battalion sth, 2d battalion 6th, 2d battalion Bth,
Ist battalion 20th, 31th, 40th, 51st, 51th, 57th,
80th, 97th, and 98th Regiments. Aft3r marching
past the troops returned to quarters, which were
reached shortly before 1 o'clock. The duke returned
to town about 3 o'clock. The troops looked remark-
ably well, and the whole of the evolutions were ad-
mirably performed.

The new theatre which is to be built on the site of the
Strand Music-hall is to be called " The Gaiety Theatre."
The Music-hall, which was built only a few years since, is
in course of rapid demolition.
