THE BRITISH MILITARY SERVICE. From The Household Words. A practical work has just been compiled by the joint labors of several experienced artillery oficers, from which we glean is variety of facts that may prove interesting in reference to the great events of the last few weeks. The most destructive and scientific arm of the service is horse, or flyin artillcry—the performances of a troop of wiiic are sometimes astonishing. A battery of horse-artillery is, in fact, is beautiful machine, com osed ofit eat number and variety of parts. y it is a attory, of six nine-pounder guns, with their coucomitauts. It is waited upon by one hun- dred and ninety men and one hundred and seventy horses-—augmeuted, during the resent war, to one hundred and eighty-two orsos. Among the men we find six oflicera; that is, the captain of the troop, a second captain. three lieutenants, and one assistant-surgeou—there being no want of medical aid for such an im- portant arm. Then there are two experienced

stall‘ scr ants, and thirteen other uon-commis- stoned 0 cars. The unners and drivers form “I8 ivates, amounting

ggpater portion 0 the r _ one hundred and sixty men. The residue is made up of two trumpeters, to trans- mit the signals which are given to them by word of mouth from the ollicers; n. fan-ier; four shoeing smiths, (each horse requires twelve sets of shoes is year); two wheolwriglits; and two collar-makers, with some others. Of the orses, two each are allowed to the ollicera; there are four to spare; and the rest are at- tached, with their riders, to the nine-poundcr guns for firing solid shot; the twenty-four pounder howitzer for firing shells, which no- companies them; the aniunitiou wu on, the store limber wagon, the store cart, t e forge wagon, and the rocket and spare gun carriages. The list of the articles carried with the guns and wagons is it long one. Round the gun and limber (tho limber is the binder port of the gun carriage, containing ammunition for int- mediuto use, and which, like the tender to a locomotive engine, can be detached from the trail of the gun-ca.rringe,) are placed felling- nxes, bill-hooks grease-pots, ropes, spades, pickaxes, buckets, lifting-jacks, swiugle-trees, to which the traces are fastened, it prolonger or drag-ro , port-fire, s are sets of horse-shoes, tent-po es, pegs, pic ct-posts, i-en ing-hooks for cutting forage. mauls, camp-kot cs, blank- ets, aud corn-sacke—sll, of course, packed ' the most perfect apple-pic order. Among the contents of the various boxes attached to each gun-carriage—neitr-box, oil-box, . middle-box, and so ou—arc corkscrews, files, funnels. fuse- boxes, knives, linch-pins, wallets, piucers, saws auda setter, scissors, needles, and a homely ball of worsted; accompanied by solid shot, cartridges, shrapnel-shells, bur-sters, quick- mutoh, and fuse-bugs, with other inflamiuublcs. Close to the gun are boxes containing a slow- mutcli, it set of priming~irons, a tiu-primcr—e. gnu-lock, ten llints, two punches, two spikes, u. sponge-head for the gun-cleaner, and thumb stalls; which are lluuked by a wad-hook, sporo sponge, hammers, hand-s ikes, wrenches, and iucers. So much for tie gun-carriage and imber. Upon looking tit the ammunition wag- ou,we see is little magazine with duplicate supplies of every sort of uiunitiou—seveuty or eighty solid shot, abundance of cartridges, port-tires, tubes, shrapnel shells, fuses, and other scientific appliances for mowing down “ good tall fellows ‘in the most decisive man- ner. The very sight of these would have utterly extinguished the dandy lord who tried the patience of Hotspur, when “ drv with rage and extreme toil," after it hard iglit. ii are carefully stowed away, according to the home- ly Teresa Tidy maxim, which is the soul of military art-augements—a place for everything, and everything in its place. To these tire added store-cart and store lumber-Waggon, carrying supplies of rough iron, wood and leather for r irs; also, tools and miscellaneous necessa- ries aud light be o. The forge-wagon cur- ries smiths toolsgfilzlows, iron, shoes and coal. era is, beside. it spare gun carriage, with stores, besides a rocket-wagon. I‘ivelve-pouud- er rockets nro destruction ngatinst troops at eight hundred to it thousand _v:irds range. and against buildings at six hundred yards. They are especially useful to frighten horses; but they require careful management; without which they are as destructive to friend as to foe.

Iwo rounds, retired five hundred yards, and fired one round, in three minutes and four seconds. To appreciate this feat, it is neces- sary to remember that, besides getting over the

ound, at each halt the guns have to be un- firmbored, loaded, pointed, fixed and limbered, up again. . ricochet fire should be tried as much as possible; that is, the shot should be made to graze the surface at it ground-hop, and then fly oil‘ agaiu—like a boy playing at ducks and drakes in the water. It will sometimes hit the ground ten, fifteen, twenty times, and more. The most elevated positions are not the best for artillery, for the greatest olfects are produced at a height equal to one hundredth part of the ran so the shot.

V hen carrying it non-commissioned ofiicor, the wei ht of the man rind his appointments is reckone at two hundred and forty pounds. This is loss than for is heavy dragoou-horse, which, on ordinary occasions, curries two hun- dred and sixty-three pounds, exclusive of six pounds ration for the man, and twenty pounds ration for the sat. Troop horses tire not altogether teetotallcrs. They find is wine glass of spirits in hulfa pint of water a very refrcsli- ing co ial. They are very fond of sweets also. In the Peninsular war, they throve remarkably well on a daily ration of ei ht pounds of supr sud seven pounds of hey, it tli no corn. When

their drinking-water is hard, a knob of clay mixed with it softens it.

Six horses with s. nlne- under can march four miles in one hour so a half, or sixteen miles in ten hours, allowing for periodical halts. The trot is at the rate of seven miles, and the gallop at eleven miles an hour.

Captain Lefoy gives, in his Hand-Book for Field Service, some rules for choosing a military horse, followed by useful chapters on the diseases to which be subject, and rules of age. The latter be iuniu with, “As a horse never dies of oi age’ sounds like a cruel doom; but it is true, that be generally dies by the band of the executioner, either in the battle-field or in the knaekci-‘s yard. The formidable list of equine iuflrmitics will remind the reader of the practical knowledge Shaka re displays in his description of the steed ri den by that mad wag, Petruchlo.

“ His horse hipped with an old motley saddle, the stirrnps of no kindred; besides, possessed with the lenders, and like to move in the clinic; tron led with thelam , infected with the fashions, full of wiudga s, sped with spav- ins, ruicd with the ellows, past cure of the fires, stark spoiled with the staggers, begnawn with the bots; swayed iu the buck, and shoulder- shotten."

Inferior horses are useful in the he go- truin ; for which mules and oxen are also ouud useful ; the lattcr,especially, for heav drau ht in a rugged country. he ox is we come or ii more substantial reason, as he yields, when the time comes to cut him up. three hundred and seventy-five to five hundred rations of beef of one pound and a quarter to each man ; while it sheep furnishes only forty to fifty rations. Aitliou h the camel, in a sandy soil, oes only two iui cs an hour, he will kee it up for twen-

ty hours, and carry six to ten undred weight. Camels are important assistants in Indian war- fare, and they have been found of great use in the Crimea. Cattle employed for the convey- once of be go are technically called but (sounded “ aw") animals, just as ollicers’ ser- vants arc styled “ bow" men.

rom an interesting chapter on strategies! science, we learn, among other things, that " a. gentle slope is the most advauta as ground to have in froutofa battery ;” an that ,'-lift to one hundred and filly yards of soft, mars iy ground, where the enemy's shot would sink; gullies or ravines crossing the enemy's fire at right angles with a terrace of six to ten feet elevation, about twenty paces in front of it buttery ; are all good obstacles to the enemy's fire.” This almost describes, verbatim, the best points of the Russian position above the Alma. '

Some curious facts and calculations relative to the distauctfieauddprpxipiity oi sip enemy, so im rtuut to 'u o in war re, are set forltxli by the sam"c aiiethority. It is calculated that if the enem ‘s cavalry are one thousand yards of!‘ when t ey begin to move, they will take about seven minutes to come up—lirst at it gentle trot, then at a round trot, and finally at a llop; and, during thi_s interval,such gun can ischarge at them, with great precision, ten rounds of round ohol: and four of case-shot (that is, shot put u into a cyliudi_ir)_ ; or about one round every ha f-minute. This is exclusive of the fire of the infantry with their small arms. The efilacts of a stand fire may be instanced by what took lace at rcsdeu under Na leou’s 33.1‘. 3.3.? .i‘i.'.i‘il.§".i..‘.'.'.‘I“.l?."iI,l’li‘3pi‘.i‘l’i?; Frouch—a terrible sight to a young recruit; but on this occasion the were met by the Emperor’s Old Guard, w o_ were u to it. They reserved their fire, till the enem were close upon them; and, when they did re and the smoke had cleared away, four thousand of that immense host were on the ound, either killed or dismounted by the oath of their horses.

A‘: two thousand yards oi‘, a. sin le i-..i.u or horse looks like a dot ; at twelve hun red yards infantry can be distinguished from cavalry ; at nine hundred the movements become clear; at seven hundred and fift yards heads of columns can be made out. In autry marching send out strong li hts, and, if the reflection be brilliant it is prp bis that they are marching toward you. 'lho.dust raised by cavalry spd artillery forms a thick cloud but this is fainter, when caused by infantry.

Under tiio head of marches, we are reminded of Marshal Saxe’s rofouud dictum, that the whole secret _of wnr is in_“ the lo a.’ Marches preface tho victories which but gs decide, and .t:;.;"*:.°°a..‘?“:...?:'.; °':‘:.'u:'..;“"°" °"" cavalgy ; and a column of thirty thou _ a. thus isposcd, would occupy t rec in , an would require two hours a least to re_uge in two lines of battle.

For instance, Gen. Crawfor astonished even the Duke of Welliugltpn, when he Joined him after the battle of iavern, with big light brigade, having marched sixty-two miles in twenty-six hours. _ Lord Lake's cuvalr llop of seventy-three miles, to the scene of o af"s defeat at Farrultabed, was performed in the some uuiulger oflhours.h in fproe: margllresértpg

The ordinary quick step is equal to three miles an hour ; but this rate cannot be he t_up after the lirst hour or_two. Double-quic is at the rate of seven miles_ an hour. On parade, a military pace is thirty inches, two thounnd one hundred and twelve ofwhich equal a mile.
