NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday the Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty paid an official visit to Chatham for the
purpose of making their annual inspection of the
vast works now in progress for the enlargement of
the dockyard, as well as the various naval estab-
lishments at the port. The members of the Board
present on the occasion were Vice-Admiral Sir A.
Milne, K.C.8., First Sea Lord; Vice-Admiral Sir
S. C. Dacre:3, K.C.B. ; Rear-Admiral Sir J. C. 1).
Hay, M.P. ; Lord 11. Lennox, M.P., Secretary of
the Admiralty ; Mr. E. J. Reed, C. 8., Chief Con-
structor of the Navy ; Lieut.-Col. A. Clarke. Royal
Engineers, director of Admiralty Engineering
Works, and the usual secretaries and other attend-
ants on the Board. Shortly before 12 o'clock their
lordships arrived at the dockyard, and immediately
proceeded to the offices of the Captain-Superinten-
dent, where a lengthened consultation was held
with the heads of the various departments. Their
lordships proceeded to the metal mills for the pur-
pose of inspecting the plans for the proposed im-
provements in that department of the dockyard.
Their lordships then inspected the progress made in
the construction of the new armour-clad ship Sul-
tan, 13, 5,266 tons, 1-200-horse power, the last
designed of Mr. Reed's powerful ironclad ships on
the broadside midship battery principle. Con-
tinuing their progress, their lordships visited the
dock in which Mr. Reed's new monitor turret-ship
Glatton is bdilding. The Glatton will carry a belt
of armour 6ft. 6in. in depth, the upper half being
12in. thick, and the lower half 10in. thick, laid on
a teak backing of 18in. and 20in. respectively. She
will carry a single turret, the exterior of which will
be protected by armour-plating of the enormous
thickness of 14in., laid on 15in. of teak. In the tur-
ret will be placed only two guns, but these will be
25-ton guns, each throwing a solid GOO-pounder shot.
After partaking of luncheon at the official rei-
deuce of Capt. Stewart, C. 8., the members of the
Board proceeded on board the iron- clad ship Mo-
narch, fitting for sea alongside the dockyard. The
turrets are still incomplete, only a portion of the 10
inch and 8 inch plates having been fixed in their
place on the two turrets. Leaving the Monarch,
their lordships inspected one of the gun carriages
recently constructed at the dockyard for working
the large 18-ton 450-pounders, eight of which will
be mounted in the central battery of the Hercules.
the gun-carriage is that invented by Capt. R, E.

A. Scott, who was in attendance on the occasion,
and explained to their lordships the working of the
carriage. The remainder of the afternoon was de-
voted by the Lords of the Admiralty to a length-
ened visit to the extensive works, where their lord-
shi were received by Mr. A. Gabrielli, the con-
tra :tor. Upwards of 3 )0 acres of laud, forming the
en- ire surface of S-. Mary's I ,land, have been rc-
cla 'mod, on which arc being constructed docks,
las us, factories, and other building=. The first
cf 'le three large basins is Lcing rapidly pushed
fur, 'ard, and will be completed in about 12 months.
Liuc 3 of railway with engines and trucks lead over
the vi ')rks, which are on a scale of great magnitude.
Their Jords'iips were occupied until late yesterday
afternow in the iusp •ction of the extension works,
after which they proceede 1 on board their steam
yacht Enchantress, wl,lrc they enter ai ned a dis-
Liaguished party at dim Jar last cven;ng. The in-
spection of the naval establishments will be resumed
this morning.

The weather yest3rday morning appeared very
unfavourable for the field-day, being squally with
rain ; but at 11 o'clock a.m. the troops were
formed on Woolwich-csnamon in the following
order, in line ;—Two batteries of Royal Horse Ar-
tillery on the right at half intervals in open order,
a battalion of Royal Marines of eight companies in
quarter-distance column in the centre, and four
batteries of Field Artillery at half intervals in
open order on the left, all under 'the command of
Col. Phillpotts, C. 8., R.H.A. The commander of
the garrison, Major-Gen. E. C. Waroe, C. 8,,
R.A., rode on the ground ; he was received with a
general salute, and afterwards inspected the line.
rhe troops then broke into column to the right,
and marched past the General, who had taken up
a position at the saluting flag. The Field Artil-
lery and Royal Marines wen then ordered to pro-
ceed to the top of the Common an 1 take up posi -
tions pointed out to them respectively. The
Horse Artillery, having halted at the eud of the
saluting base and changed their front to the rear,
were ordered to gallop past as soon as their front
was clear, and when they had also taken up their
position on the top of the Common a series of
evolutions were carried out under the General in
repelling the attack of a supposed enemy advanc-
ing from the direction of Charlton, &c. The pro-
ceedings were brought to a close about half-past 1
o'clock.

Yesterday the division at Aldershot, under the
command of Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir James
Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., had a field day, which
fairly tested each branch of the service in drill, dis-
cipline, duties, and efficiency. The troops formed
up westward of Long-hill at half-past ten o'clock in
mass of brigades in lines of contiguous columns,
facing south. On the arrival of the General and
staff dispositions were made to attack an enemy
who appeared to have taken up a position with his
right resting on Caesar's-hill and the left at Beacon
hill. Major-General Carey, C. 8., with the 2d bri-
gade, and Brigadier Gwilt, with the 3d, proceeded
to Brarley Bottom i while General Renny with the
Ist brigade and the cavalry took ground to the
right. The artillery unlimbered, and, availing
itself of every advantage of ground, opened a heavy
cannonade on the enemy's position. Soon after-
wards General Carey advanced under cover of
a strong line of skirmishers to the summit of
Cm3ar's-hill, when his brigade formed line and
poured in a destructive the. While these move-
ments were in progress, the Ist brigade, covered by
skirmishers, made a steady advance by an indirect
route to the west of Bickley Copse, and was soon
seen at Beacon-hill in conjunction with a battery of
artillery. After forming line, the Ist Brigade con-
tinued to advance until at right angles with the 2d,
when both brigades poured a terrific cross fire upon
the supposed enemy. The 21 Brigade changed
position to left, left thrown back, and the two bri-
gades closely pursued the enemy as far as the
" Lawday" house. At this juncture the cavalry
lent the most active support to the division, an I
made many effective demonstrations. 'This was the
crisis of the battle, and the fierceness of the action
was told by thick clouds of blue smoke wafted far
over the valley, the constant roar of artillery, and
the incessant report of thousands of the deadly Sni-
ders, whose fire seemed to be delivered in one simul-
taneous and overwhelming discharge. The enemy
retreated precipitately from the field towards Farn-
ham, and the object of the divisional commander
being thus happily accomplished, the troops marched
past on Bricksbury-plain, the artillery and cavalry
in open column of batteries and squadrons at a
walk, and the infantry in open column of grand
divisions in quick time. The march past was ad-
mirably executed, and on its conclusion the troops
returned to quarters, which were reached about two
o'clock. The weather was favourable.

Yesterday afternoon the annual athletic sports
of the Ist battalion Coldstream Guards came off in
the Home Park, opposite the North Terrace of
Windsor Castle. There was a large concourse of
spectators. Tents were erected, and an enclosure,
parted off from the rest of the park by ropes, was
kept free for the sports, which were much enlivened
by the presence of the negro troupe of the batta-
lion. Captain Buller and Lieutenant the Hon. E.
Legge acted as judges, and Lieutenant Barrington
as starter.

The Ist battalion Coldstream Guards are ex-
pected to leave Windsor for Chelsea on Tuesday
next. They will, it is understood, be relieved by
the 2d battalion of the same regiment.

Twenty-two gentlemen cadets from the Royal
Military Academy, who obtained their commissions
iu the Royal Artillery at the midsummer examina-
tion, and have been on leave since, will join and do
duty at head-quarters on the Ist prox.
The officers of the Royal Artillery Theatrical
Fund gave a performance yesterday evening in the
recreation-rooms, at the Royal Artillery barracks,
Woolwich, the pitces selected being the celebrated
comedy of " Used Tip," and the farce, " My Friend
from Leatherhead," the characters in which were
sustained by Captain Hunt, Messrs. Pope, Lacy,
Kingscote, Rothe, Wickham, and Hughes Hallett,
R. A., assisted by professional artistes—Mrs.
Stephens, Miss Carlotta Addison, and Miss Fanny
Addison, from the Royal Olympic and New Royalty
Theatres respectively.

His Netherlands Majesty's ram st2amer Maffei,
Capt. Hugenholtz, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday
for fuel, on her voyage from Nienwedien to Liver-
pool, to tow round to Holland another ram built at
Birkenhead for the Netherlands Government. The
Buffel, which was built at Glasgow, is a turret
vessel, with two 300-pounder Armstrong guns, and
the officers report that she behaved very well in the
gale of Saturday last in the North Sea.

iADVERTISEMENT. I - Holloway's Pill& Aches and
Pains.—There can be little doubt that man is less sensible
of the most perfect health than he is of the least sickness.
By this means does kind nature forewarm him to guard
against a coming malady. Were these alterative, aperient,
and purifying pills had recourse to when the first depar-
ture from ease proclaims the approach of disease hour
many tortures would be spared ? How much misery
avoided ? Holloway's pills need no comment here on the
good services they render in resisting or remedying com-
plaints at their onset, which, through inexcusable delay,
false delicacy, or thoughtless neglect, will run their rapid
course to danger in defiance of the highest medical science
and the wit uttlehttjgable awing.
