MILI7 ARY AND N• 1 VAL INTELLIGENCE.

Princess Louise and the Prince and Princess of
Teck lunched with Prince Arthur on Wednesday
at the Ranger's-house at Greenwich, and after-
wards, attended by their suite—Lady Caroline
Barrington and Colonel the Hon. A. Ilardinge
drove to Woolwich, and honoured by their pre-
sence one of the concerts at the Royal Artillery
Barracks, which are given during the winter
season by the Royal Artillery band, and under
their talented leader, Mr. Smyth. Their Royal
Highnesses afterwards went to look at the stained
windows, &c., in the Garfison Church, and subse-
quently the paintings in the Royal Artillery mess-
room, and then departed for London.
On Wednesday the 25th (King's Own Borderers),
who recently arrived at &ldershott from Glasgow,
under the command of Colonel H. T. Walker,
formed up on their reBimental parade ground
shortly before 10 o'clock, in complete marching
order, and thence proceeded to the General
Parade, South Camp, where they formed line. At
half-past 10 o'clock Major-General Carey, C. 8.,
attended by his Staff, arrived on the ground, and
was received with the general salute. lle then
made a most minute inspection of the ranks,
after which the regiment broke into open column
right in front, and marched past ;in slow and
in quick time and at the double, with arms
at the trail. The regiment formed on the
private parade iu fatigue dress, in which
order they were inspected in column. As each
company was inspected it was marche I to quarters
and dismissed. The General next inspected the
huts, canteen, library, married people's quarters,
&c., and expressed his approbation of the condition
of the regiment in every respect.
Yesterday the 2d Infantry Brigade at Aldershot,
consisting of the 2d Battalion 21 (Queen's) Royal
Regiment, under the command of Colonel IV ergo ;
the 2d battalion sth Northumberland Fusiliers,
1 under the command of Colonel A. V. Kirkland ;
and the Ist Battalion 30th (East Devonshire)
Regiment, under the command of Col. A. H. Cobbe,
was actively exercised in field movements by Major-
Gen. Carey, C.B. The brigade assembled on the
brigade parade ground, West Block, in complete
marching order, shortly before ten o'clock, and
thence marched to Eelmoor-hill, where the 2d Regi-
ment was thrown out in skirmishing order, and
the other two battalions formed line. The skir-
mishers advanced steadily until they arrived at a
supposed bridge, where they halted, and the sup-
ports charged and cheered over it, and drove the
enemy to the opposite side. The skirmishers con-
tinued to advance for a considerable distance to-
wards the Long Valley proper, and then charged
front to right or north, the main body adapting it-
eelf to the same change of direction. The whole ad-
vanced a short distance, when the skirmishers were
recalled, and the sth and 20th Regiments commenced
independent firing from the right of companies,
after which Colonel Kirkland assumed command,
and put the brigades through a series of very into-
resting field evolutions, at the close of which the
brigade formed up and marched past in grand divi-
sions in quick time on Eelmoor-hill. A supposed
enemy wasnowobserved approaching in strong force,
and the sth and 20th Regiments, quickly form-
ing line, retired towards their quarters, covered by
the 2d Regiment in skirmishing order. The enemy

closed upon the brigade near All Saints' Church.
Gen. Carey then ordered a halt, recalled skirmishers,
and directed the sth and 20th Regiments to face
about and open file firing. The order was promptly

obeyed, and the advance of the enemy arrested.
The brigade then marched to quarters without fur-
ther molestation.
