MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

a-ROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) London, Saturday. It is daily becoming evident that the authorities at the Horse Guards are convinced that further troops will be required in Egypt, if for no other purpose than to make a demonstration of force, which they hope may not be recmisite. The increasing demand for British soldiers in India, the prospects of another campaign in Afghanistan, and the disturbing influences at work in South Africa all point to a probable large withdrawal from the home commands, in which those of Ireland must largely share. I am informed on credible authority that the reduction of the forces on the other side of St George's Channel is contemplated to the extent of some 3,000 or more men of all arms. Orders have been issued to several regiments to hold themselves in readiness for foreign service.

If the anticipated demands for Egypt should arise, the troops at Malta would be drawn upon, their places being filled up by regiments at home. Large drafts are being prepared for India, and in addition to the detachment of ihe Telegraph Battalion Royal Engineers ordered to embark lor the Cape nest week, the authorities are making arrangements for further augmenting the forces there. It is notified that the 2nd Battalion Yorkshire Regiment, now at the Curragh, will proceed to Buttevant on the departure of the BuS's next Friday for Malta. The Inspector of Army Signalling having com pleted his inspection ot the signallers of the various regiments in the United Kingdom and tornarueu ms reports to the respective districts. the undermentioned regiments have been awarded prizes in accordance with clauses 212 and 214, Army Circulars, 18S2.

Wighams letter to the Times on this subject, to which we referred on Saturdey, after refuting in considerable detail the technical points urged by the Elder Brethren in their allegation that tiie ex-focal light, which is produced by his lighthouse gas burSers, when their is increased for foggy weather, is wasted, and in. some cases perplexing to the marine2', he goes on to say It will he seen that in all the Elder Brethren say in this matter they are labouriue- imoVr hm great errors. Their first error, wliich is thai under my system the diameter of gasburners ia necessarily inci-cuneri cuttmrr group tlashmg hgnts, arises simply from their iiuafiiiiauiiu, which nas iea tnem to picture to themselves a plan which 1 have not adopted, nor proposed to adopt, and a state of things which: does not exist. As to their second error, that the light produced by burners of large diameter im wasted because it is ex-focal, that this is a serious: error I have endeavoured to show. The opinions of the many mariners who havo proved the usefulness of es-focal light are against the Elder Brethren in tins matter.

The oninion of eminent engineer of the Northern Lighthouse Board is against them, see this same Parliamentary paper, where lie says One great advantage of Mr. YVinhani's arrano-enienf: is only diffuses the light so a to be seen nearer to the tower, but that when a fop- surtioniir comes on, he can as suddenly augment to a lara extent the amount of light available by simply increasing the number of lighted gas jets. The opinion of one oi the greatest opticians that ever lived, Sir David Brewster, is against them. So' long ago as 1.S27 ho said, In the present system of illumination no provision whatever has been made for the occasional exhibition of intense lights when the atmospliere is so hazy and foggy as to absorb entirely, at moderate distances, "all the rays, which proceed from the reflectors. Bufc by the introduction of lenses we can adopt various methods of obtaining ten times the light in hazy weather.

In place of only having one large lamp in the focus of the lens, we may surround it with five or six of the same size. All of them but one will be out oi the focus, and they wilt therefore form slightly diverging and slightly cou--verging columns 01 light; but as the distancet through which they are required to penetrate ia necessarily small, they will all add powerfully to tho intensity of the main beam, and cause it to penetrate through a considerable tract of hazy atmospherc. If gas were used, we might, on occasions, empioy a burner 10 inches in diameter not having many concentric This is what, in perfect ignorance of his opinion. I have done almost to the letter. Last, but not least, the evidence of their own practice condemns the Elder Brethren.

As-soon as the gas system had taught them to increase the power of their lights for fogs they increaBod. the diameter of their oi! burners from the normal size, 2f inches (four nick), to -Ig inches (six nick) and have since been making not only oil lara-s' still larger diameter, but gas burners vrfth aa many as ten concentric rings, nearly as large-int diameter as any of my gas burners; and although they compress the flames oi these large burned as much as they tan at the focal point, to the no small danger oi the chimney glasses, a lare per-eentafe. rrr the hV)i, fbp-e tr'ivn 43 -------o 0-- meruit: cases more than one-half ls ex-focal.
