But in this instance you have a most noble cause to fight for—l mean. the protection of the weak by the strong. This is the cause that you will fight for, and nobly will you and the rest of the army do your duty. You will be led by Lord Raglan, a man who was on the right hand of the Duke of Wellington, a man who knows how to lead you to glory as well as you know how to fight to attain it. One thing I desire to impress upon you, and that is to be good comrades to our gallant allies, the French. I say "gallant' most truly, for they were once our foes ; now you are to fight side by side with them, and I would rather fight along with them than with any soldiers in the world, because they will never desert you. Your conduct, Highlanders, under my command, has been like that of every British regiment, and I never saw a British regiment that would not fight. I will answer for it that you will. There is one thing which I would urge on you. We, soldiers, are well provided for by our country, but the unfortunate in habitants of the country where war is carried on are ever in a state of misery. Let no man's hand be turned against the people of the country, but protect the weak against the strong. Colonel Ainslie, I wish you and these Highlanders every success, as well as the army generally. If lam not with you, my heart is with you, and it beats to that impulse which may be felt now by every British soldier who has to fight in the good cause of the Queen and glorious England." The soldiers then gave Sir Harry three times three cheers, after which the people vociferously applauded the military as they marched by. ROYAL ARSENAL. WOOLWICH, FEB. 24. Lieutenant-General Lord Raglan, G.C.B. ; Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, C. 8., Storekeeper of the Ord nance ; and Colonel lion. L. Maule, Surveyor-General, arrived at the Royal Arsenal ; and were received by the heads of the departments, who accompanied these mem b-rs of the Board of Ordnance during their inspection of the works in progress and the stores on band for all branches of her Majesty's services. Some idea may be formed of the resources of the works in the Royal Arsenal when it is stated that Mr. Ander son's admirable self-acting machine for making Mint 4 balls by compression is m tking these bails in a perfect state ready for use to the extent of three tons' weight per day. The whole of the workmen employed in the Royal Arsenal and a great number of extra men and boys re cently put on, work from daylight till dark, with only half an hour for dinner, and they must take their break fast before they come to work in the morning. 76,000 rounds of ball cartridges lett the Royal Ar senal on Wednesday for Southampton,*for the use of the Guards, and an order has been received to have 6,000,000 ball cartridges ready packed for the EAst within the next fortnight. Upwards of 100 boys have been taken on to work, and every building in the labo ratory being occupied in preparing the munitions of war, tents have been put up in the square to give in creased accommodation. T4,i-t.-416 In Piccadilly, a street of palaces, are two lofty walls, as architectural, gloomy, and grand as walls can be made, hiding from the gaze of the profane two edifices grander than the rest. They belong to different members of one family, and may any day lapse to one owner. A contemporary lately assured us that, as a town mansion, one of these was without a rival on this side the Alps ; but, if that rival is to be found, it is probably the other of' the two. Not a day passes but tens of thousands wonder as they pass by what grandeur, what state, what ease, what happiness there is within those walls ; and many of them, doubtless, contrast their own hum ble toils and cankering cares with the condition of the man who enjoys the revenue and the attendance of a potentate, with out a Parliament to meet, an army to employ, or a populace to shun. They speculate as the Abyssinian peasant in John son's story might have speculated about the occupants of the Happy Valley, and the inexhaustible fund of hap piness it contained. What is known helps to raise the range of that speculation. The Duke whose grandeur is veiled by the westernmost and newest of the screens we have mentioned has also a palace in the provinces, beyond compare for its magnificence, for the treasures it con tains, for the beauty of its situation and artificial grounds, and for the princely magnificence of its establishment. Every thing about him is great. A steward of his became Speaker of the House of Commons, and a peer of the realm ; while his gardener has been knighted, and occupies a distinguished position in the world of art. A species of viceroy manages his Irish estates. The Duke has been Ambassador at St. Petersburg, and has entertained at his country house the man who now menaces the peace of the world. 'He has done every thing that is expensive and grand. Ho gives concerts and. patronises art. Wherever he goes his name is announced with becoming awe. Rumour does justice to his income, and base groundllucrs calculate how much he has to spend a-week, how much a-day, how much au hour, as if he spent his money as regularly as the sun does a day's work of his orbit. But all this leaves untouched the more interesting question how such a man spends his time, and {what it is to have say, 200,000/. a-year absolutely at one's disposal, and, as it happens in this case, without any one to claim a voice in its expenditure. Fortunately or unfortunately for these splendid illus one and interesting inquiries, every now and then something comes out that reveals this grand inner life, hidden behind softy screens of fine brickwork, under mountains of Palladian architecture, and in wildernesses of fairy landscape. We need not even wait till the undertaker, the auctioneer, or the con tractor throws open the gates, and shows us the secrets of ducal existence. Our own broad sheet has occasionally a tale to tell of these things, and iu yesterday's paper there was one of a sort to satisfy much curios:ty, and appease many envious longings after earthlxgreatness. The Duke of Devonshire, it stems, has a very grand butler--a duke among butlers—and many a small householder, who koops the key of his wine cellar in his pocket, and himself gives out the allowance for a dinner, thinks within himself how agreeable •it would be if one could afford to leave all this trouble to just such a butler as the duke's, But Mr. Wilkinson, it seems, relieved his master to a greater extent than our small householder would imagine. He had the purchasing and the choice of the wine, and, of course, the selection of the w i ne merchants. This license he had for all his master's establishments, both town and country, within the moderate limits of 1,500/. a year. The Duke is a temperate and abstemious man ; the Caven dishes are all so, and his friends are probably after his own taste in this respect. Then, as for extraordinary occasions, even a Duke's banquets can be numbered in the year. Yet here is an annual incumbrauce on the ducal revenue to the amount of 1,5001. at the disposal of a servant ; yet not quite absolutely, for to keep that servant in order another servant was necessary. The Duke has an auditor, and that 'auditor, in overhauling the accounts of the butler, discovered that. like a certain chief butler three thousand years ago, and butlers ever since, Mr. Wilkinson was liable to error. In fact, this gentleman had sold his master to a firm of wine merchants, and, as appears from a document produced in the Rolls' Court, had promised to get all the Duke's wine from them, ou condition of a loan to himself, followed, as it fur ther appears, by other advances, to the amount, in all, of about 670/. The wine -merchants' share in this transaction we dare say nothing about. They are not ashamed of it, for they produce the contract in court, and proclaim to all the world that they accommodated the butler with a large loan, renewable from time to time, as the condition of his master's custom. They wi'l probably tell us that this is a thing of every-day occurrence, and that all butlers, cooks, and coach men sell their masters to the tradesmen employed in their several departments. We shall be told that to protest against the custom is to shut up shop altogether. This, then, is a bit of that grandeur all men covet, and to obtain which for themselves, or their children, or their remote posterity, so many toil night and day, and make themselves miserable. How delightful to be a duke and to be compelled to spend 1,5001. a-year in wine, to keep a gentleman to buy it, and another gentleman over him to see that, in buying the wine, he does not sell his master ! Why, how much of that wine is actually consumed by the duke and his friends. Supposing the whole annual supply to find its way to the ducal cellars, who are the real consumers ? One wine with another, and one day with another, this could not be less thin 500 dozen, or 16 bottles a-day ! Who that knows the duke's habits can think that the average consumption of his Grace's table ? Which is the real servant in such a household ? But the master is worse than the servant. He is a prisoner of State. There are iron chains, and there are silken chains, and there are golden chains; and 50,000/. a-year is but a golden chain that ties a man till he can hardly walk from one room to another, or order his horse, or go to bed, withont.the leave of his guards. The owner of a large establishment will often fly from it to some out-of-the-way place, where he may forget that he is a Duke and remember that he is a man. Or, if this be impossible, if his guards aro too vigilant, he will re tire into some corner of his own dreary house, and betake himself to some small occupation that may bring his condition as near as possible down to that of a journeyman doing a day's work for a day's pay. Give him a bit of garden to dig, or a box to mend, or a pamphlet to write, and he will be happy for a while. That pleasant dream over, the incubus of his life will return, and is once more a Duke, ant] a servant of servants. Who has the real enjoyment of such wealth ? The archi tect enjoys the outside of the house, and the upholsterer takes his pleasul e within ; the libraiian revels among the books, and the gardener follows his fancy in the ' garden; the master of the horse delights in the stable, and the ook is great in the kitchen. All enjoy themselves, ex , cept the ostensible head. Way, the very Duke who was plaintiff in the case above mentioned is reported to say that llc can only afford to live at Chatsworth one month in the year. He is fortunate to be able to live there one month, so many houses are there in the country, and even i town, that are shut against their owners. We now see how it is ; but stories to the same effect might be repeated for ever. It is said of another nobleman, whose town house has lately changed hands, that when his afihirs were placed in the hands of a friend it was found the butcher's bill had not been paid for eighteen years, every year of which had rivetted more closely his Grace's chains to his butcher and his cook. Now, many years ago, at another noble mansion not far from Pic cadilly, it was found that the cook had a secret storeroom of his own, communicating with the kitchen, fall of its spoils; and the investigation brought to light a system of robbery to the amount of 6001. a-year. With all this experience, and the certainty of unpleasant disclosures some time or other, the great man will still be waited ou by gentlemen ; he will still have his valet a fop, his footmen giants, his cook a despot, a - d all his other servants the most hazardous of their class. After all, he has not what he wants, and what he has paid for. He cannot do what he likes, or get good attendance. One millionnaire declares that he was better waited on when he was a boy at college, with the eighth share of a scout, than now when he has an exclusive right to the attentions of half-a dozen gentlemen and thirty servants. Yet there seems no help. Wealth is a choice of evils. If the master looks after his servants, it takes all his time, and he is a slave to appear ance ; if he leaves them alone, they will rob and neglect him. Yet, to check the extravagance of butlers and cooks, to de tect the depredations of gardeners, to chastise the insolence of footmen, and to protect the morals of servant girls, is but a poor occupation for a man with all the world before him, and with 200,000/. a year. What is a Duke to do ? We shall not pretend to answer. Let the Duke answer it himself. Our only object just now is to let those who are not Dukes or millionnaires see that wealth and position have their draw backs, and that 20,0001. a year, or even 200,000/., 'does not exempt a man from responsibilities and troubles.—Times. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 23. ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE V. LAFOREST. This suit came before the Court on a motion for an in junction, by the Duke of Devonshire, to prevent the de fendants, who are wine merchants, from proceeding with any action at law against him relative to certain wines which had been ordered by his butler, but which had not been delivered, The alleged facts of the case are as fol low :—ln 1852 the Duke ofDevonshire employed his butler, a man named Wilkinson, to select and buy wines for him, subject to the approval and under the superintendence of the Duke's auditor, Mr. Currey ; and in that year Wilkin son gave orders to the defendants to send in such wines as appeared necessary. Subsequently Wilkinson, having fallen into some pecuniary difficulty, entered into a kind of contract with the defendants, that if they would ad vance him a sum of 3001. he would always deal with them, and secure them orders from the Duke of Devonshire to the amount of 1,5001. a-year. Such contract was em bodied in the following letter from Wilkinson to the de fondants : " June 30, 1852. e o s u p n i t ri ry ts for seats, h i l establishments " Gentlemen,—B e ing authorised by his Grace the Duk e o f and i w f in o e r s his and Devonshire ttso in e. - e Lo ct nandodup,nivme also hereby agree to purchase wines and spirits of you for his grace to the amount of 1,5 1 )0/. per annum, as you accommo date me with a loan of 3001., at ss. per cent., ou my accept atwe, renewable from time to time ; all wines and spirits to be invoiced direct from you to the duke ; also all my other business in wines and spirits I agree (in consideration) to throw into your hand, the whole to be subject to a moderate commission.---I am, &c." The defendants subsegeently had advanced Wilkinson further sums, amounting in all to about 670!. In March, 1853, it appears that Wilkinson was interdicted from giving any further orders, and wrote to the defendants to that • effect; but, neverthelem, in Nov., 1853, a contract was en tered into between Wilkinson and the defendants, under which wise to the amount of 2,3171. was to be sent in to the Duke's residences in London, Chatsworth, and Chis wick. Some of this wine was sent in, but some was not. When it became known that Wilkinson was in iiitliculties, and some suspicions had been excited about the orders which had been given, the matter was entered into by Mr. Currey, and upon his advice the Duke refused to receive the wine which had not been delivered, or to acknowledge the order which Wilkinson had given. Upon this the defendants threatened to brine their action for the recovery of the amount alleged to be due for the wine, and the Duke moves for the present injunction to prevent them from doing so, and to have the contract between Wilkinson and the defen dants declared ineffective as against the Duke, inasmuch as it was entered int o w h en th e d e f en d an t s k new Wilkinson was interdicted from giving any orders or entering upon such a contract. This was the plaintiff's case, and the answer of the defendants to the same was, that their agree ment with Wilkinson, and their lending him money, was a common ordinary occurrence, and daily practised; that they supplied the very best wines at fair pr i ces , and that they were ready and willing to deliver the wines at the time stipulated. The Master of the Rolls granted the injunction as prayed, but limited it to all wine. ordered since June, 1852, and not delivered to the plaintiff. Mr. R. Palmer and Mr. Currey appeared for the plain tiff; Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Young for the defendants.

THE OXFORD COUP D'ETAT. OXFORD, FEB. 24. At two o'clock the open spaces about the Theatre and Convocation-house began to be filled with groups of Masters of Arts, resident and non-resident ; still the influx of out-voters was not so great as hid been expected, and the whole number of persons collected fell short of 400. This number, however, was more than the Convocation house could accommodate, and the proceedings of the day were opened in the Theatre by the Vice-Chancellor declaring the cause of the meeting, after which there was a short delay, during which a certain number of Masters were admitted to their regency. The petition to the Queen was then read by the registrar, and on the first clause being put to the vote, and a scrutiny demanded, the Rev. J. E. T. Rogers, of Magdalen-hall, proceeded to address the house in a Latin speech, but little of which could be heard, owing to the impatience of the assembled voters, though the tone in which the speech was delivered was remarkably loud. When Mr. Rogers had concluded, the house was addressed successively by the Rev. C. Mar riott;of Oriel, and the Rev. G. Butler, of Exeter, but the in creasing impatience of the masters in the area rendered the speeches inauuible, except to those in the immediate vici nity of the speakers. At the conclusion of Mr. Butler's speech, a division was taken on the first and main cla - -se of the petition—that in which the maintenance of the exist ing board of heads of houses was recommended, and the numbers appeared upon a scrutiny to be 212 in favour of the clause, and 161 against it. It was easy to see, by com paring the two bodies, as they stood apart in the theatre, that the mass of the residents were against the petition, but that their votes were overpowered by those of the non-residents. Subsequent divisions were taken on the later clauses of the petition ; bat, all interest in the mat ter being lost, numbers quitted the theatre on both sides, while others abstained from voting. The petition was thus carried, without the rejection of any clause, though one (that which gives the election of the 15 masters to convocation generally) was only carried by a majority of three. At the close of the proceedings the following protest was signed by an important portion of the resident body, including a considerable majority of the tutors, and almost the entire staff at most of the mere influential Colleges. It is pro bable that more names will be added to-morrow, many other residents having, it is known, voted against the measure. Among these may be mentioned, Dr. Jeune, the Master of Pembroke ; and Dr. Jacobson, the Regius Professor of Divinity. The number of resident Masters who voted for the measure is estimated at considerably above 100 ; on the other side it is believed that there were not more than 40 or 50. The undersigned resident members of Convocation desire it 'to be known that they dissent from the prayer of the petition proposed by . the Hebdomadal Board and carried in Convocation this day : J. A.

LINENDRAPERS' SILK MERCERS', LACEMEN'S, HABER DASHERS', AND HOSIERS' INSTITUTION.—The twenty second anniversary dinner in aid of the funds of this provident and charitable institution took place on Thursday, at the London Tavern, under the presi dency of the Lord Mayor, who was accompanied by Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Wire and Mr. Sheriff Wallis. The usual l o y al and opening toasts having been given and duly honoured, the Lord Mayor, in prOposing the toast of the evening, took occasion to insist upon the absolute necessity of the practice of provi dence and self-control in order to enjoy a fair chance of success in life. In the present institution by appropriating a small sum to its use, a provision was made against those mischances and accid ents to wh ich all are liable, and which always fall heaviest on those who thought least about them. Every ye ar furnished me l anc h o l y i nstances o f persons engaged in the various trades, and possessing ample incomes, being suddenly overtaken by misfortune and reduced" to destitution, yet, looking 'to the report, he regretted to perceive that a support as general as might have been anticipated, had not been received by the instiution. While an increased number of applicants for pecuniary relief bad come forward, it was the fact that more persons had discontinued their subscriptions than in any former year. During thelyear 1853 the sum of 3,1767. 12s. 7d. had been received from various sources, and 83 applications for pecuniary relief had been favourably entertained, and a sum of 1,687/. 19s. ld. distributed among them. His lordship concluded with an appeal of much warmth to those present to come forward in aid of the institution. The Secretary then read a long list of contributions, but we were unable to obtain a state ment of the total, which amounted doubtless to a goodly sum. The healths of the Lord Mayor, proposed by the president of the institution, Mr. Pearce, of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and of the various officers of the charity, were then given and acknow ledged, and the proceedings terminated. TILBURY FORT (GRAVESEND) RAILWAY. —Wednes day, March 8, has been definitively fixed for the open ing of this railway for passenger traffic. It is con nected with the Blackwall line, from the station of which, in Penchurch-street, the trains will run. A pier of 300 feet in length has been constructed at the station, near the fort, for the embarking and disembarking of passengers. Steam ferries will carry them across the river to Gravesend Town-pier. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. We believe that it is the intention of the Government to send over to Paris two officers of distinction, in order to came to an understanding with the military authori ties of France upon the details of the plan of operations to be pursued in the East. It was hoped that Lord Raglan himself might be able to undertake that import ant duty, but the pressure of business upon him, conse quent on his assuming the chief command of the British contingent, will prevent his doing so. Following the course which was pursued in the for mation of the first division, the second will, we under stand, be made up of the regiments next on the roster for service abroad, and no departure will take place from the routine of the army under ordinary circumstances. This determination should be received with great satis faction not only by the public, but in military circles, as it shows the strong conviction at the Horse Guards that one corps can be as confidently intrusted as another with the maintenance of the national honour. Lord Raglan will not proceed to the Mediterranean until all the arrangements connected with the despatch of the troops under his command have been completed ; and before then it is expected that Sir John Burgoyne, 'will have returned from Constantinople. Sir John's mission, it is understood, relates to the plan of opera tions to be pursued when the moment for active partici pation in the war has arrived. The Government will naturally be desirous to secure to the latest period pos sible the benefit of Lord Raglan's advice and experience. He will therefore probably remain in England until the second division has been despatched, and then proceed to Malta, via Marseilles. Colonel Airey also remains to the latest moment, assisting his successor, Colonel Yorke, in the discharge of the onerous duties of the Military Secretaryship. It is, we believe, intended that the first, division shall leave Malta for its ultimate dead nation when the second division arrives there. It is not generally known that the Colonial Minister for the time being has the chief control and direction of military affairs in matters relating to service abroad, and that the authorities of the Horse Guards are, in all essential respects, subordinate to him. The Duke of Newcastle is, therefore, the present " Secretary of War," and is not under that title to' be confounded with " the Secretary at War," who presides over the finance of the army. It is to his Grace that the credit belongs of hav ing acted so promptly upon the suggestions of Mr. Guthrie's recent letter. It is said that Major-General Lord Lucan will succeed the Duke of Cambridge as Inspecting General of Cavalry. The United Service Gazette has every reason to believe that the following regiments are under orders to prepare for their departure to the Mediterranean as a second instalment of troops for Turkey :—The Ist Foot (Royal Regiment), the 7th Royal Fusiliers, the 19th Foot, the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, the 88th (Connaught Rangers), the 95th Foot. The Bth Hussars and 17th Lancers are likewise under orders. The 30th, 41st, 44th, 47th, 49th, and 55th Regiments go from Gibraltar and Malta to Turkey. SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 24. The 11th company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Captain Hassard, and two com panies of the Rifle Brigade, under command of Major Norcott, arrived here this morning at 9 o'clock, and embarked on board the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steam-ship Himalaya. They marched from the railway station on board the steamer, where they were received by Captain Kellock and his officers, the fine brass band of the Himalaya being stationed on the quarter-deck playing enlivening music. The men seemed in the highest health and spirits, and, as well as the officers, were delighted with the noble ship appointed to convey them, and with the arran gemen ts for their comfort. Several railway waggons, containing 40 tons of trenching tools, came down to-dayto accompany the Sappers, and an im mense quantity of blankets, bedding, and other stores has been shipped by the Himalaya. About half-past 5 this afternoon, all arrangements for the voyage having been completed, the Himalaya hauled away from the wharf, with the intention of putting to sea immediately, but in consequence of the lowness of the tides and an accumu lation of alluvial soil (which requires dredging) in the centre of the dock basin, her head touched the mud, and all the efforts of the tug to get her round in time to save daylight were unavailing. At half•past 6, there fore, the blue peter was hauled down, and the ship will not leave till daylight to-morrow (Saturday). The deten tion of the Himalaya proved a great disappointment to many thousands of spectators who lined the dock walls and wharves for the purpose of witnessing her departure, and who raised repeated rounds of cheers in answer to the cheering of the soldiers on board. The neap tides just now are unusually low, and, as high water does not take place till nearly 9 p.m., the pilot (Mr. James Bowyer) did not like to assume the responsibility of taking so gigantic a ship out of dock in perfect dark ness at so advanced an hour of the ❑ight. The Himalaya will probably reach Plymouth by the evening of to-morrow, and the embarkation of the 93d will take place on Monday, after which she will remain at anchor till Tuesday morning, when she is to start direct for Malta. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 24. The 2d Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, under the com mand of Lieutenant• Colonel Lawrence, embarked this morning at this port and at Southampton for Malta. Two companies, under Major Norcott, took the rail at ten minutes past 8, for Southampton, to embark in the Himalaya, and the head-quarters, and six companies, under Colonel Lawrence, left their barracks in Ports mouth at half-past 8, preceded by the 35th Regiment, who took that position of their own free impulse, and, without arms, marched at the head of the column as a guard of honour. The bands of the 35th, 42d, and 79th Regiments, accompanied the troops on their wav to embarkation. An immense concourse of persons of all ranks met near the Clarence-barracks to give the Rifles a hearty cheer as they departed for the scene of war. Handkerchiefs and fair hands waved adieu from many an open window, and the whole line of march through the town to the dockyard was one universal and repeated ovation. At the dockyard gates many thousands of persons had assembled, as this was the line of demarkation for the multitude, who could not be admitted within the precincts of the arsenal. With a parting cheer the brigade left their friends and well-wishers behind, and marched to the steamer's side. Here a warm reception was again awarded them from a distinguished and gallant party awaiting their arrival, among whom were the Duchess of Sutherland and family (Lord Leveson Gower being an officer of the brigade) ; the Duchess of Argyll, the Countess of Errol, who accompanies her gallant hus band in the Vulcan ; Lord Colville, Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Lady Cochrane, Rear-Admiral Chads, Rear-Admiral Martin, several officers of the fleet, &c. The embarkation commenced forthwith, and by 11 o'clock all were comfortably provided for on board ; the vessel then lay to in the harbour for the turn of tide, and at about 6 o'clock this evening she is expected to cast off from her moorings and steam out to Spithead, where she will anchor for the night, and proceed in the morning for Malta. As she emerged from the har bour's mouth a large assemblage of the most respectable inhabitants of the town, and many naval and military officrs, congregated on the Victoria-pier, to give a hearty round of cheers. The troops seemed in the best health and spirits, although they had been a little cast down yesterday by the unaccount able self-destruction of a comrade named Gager, on the common at Southsea. An interesting incident is connected with the embarkation of the Rifles. One of the soldiers' wives, a young woman not long married, whose husband is servant to a captain of the battalion, being determined to "follow him to the wars " (he having proceeded with the two companies by railway for the Himalaya), put on his regimentals which he had left at home, and, having had her hair cut short, so far passed muster in quarters with the others that she marched through the streets to the dockyard, and actually embarked on board the Vulcan before her des perate ruse was discovered, and even yet we are unin formed as to whether she did not go out in the vessel. We believe only nine or ten of the soldiers' wives were allowed to accompany them, and no children, and that 200 of them are consequently left behind, with no de pendence but the consideration of the benevolent. The embarkation of the Rifles was superintended by Colonel Enoch, of the Quartermaster-General's department. The head-quarters and five companies of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers (with the goat of the regiment) came over from Cowes this morning in the steam-sloop Gorgon, Commander Gardener, and took possession of the barracks vacated by the Rifle Brigade. The re mainder will cross over to-morrow by the same means. The 23d and 79th (Highlanders) are this day ordered to prepare for embarkation for active:service. The equipment of the ships fitting out here to form part of the fleet for the Baltic goes on night and day now, or nearly so. Admiral Corry's squadron is ex pected in sight momentarily, and when here they are, not to rendezvous more than four days at Spithead, just time enough to revictual, store, and for their crews to be paid down to the 31st of January last. Every kind of provision, powder, shot, shell, and in fact every ne cessary for action, is ready to be shipped. All leave from the fleet is prohibited. The staff of the Pay-office is put upon a full war establishment by the detachment of experienced officers from the Admiralty and the de partment of the Paymaster-General of the Navy who are down here from London on this special and important duty. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 24. On Wednesday there arrived by the Bristol mail train from Yeovil eighty - two priva tes and two officers from the 42d Regiment, and seventy-four privates and one officer of the 79th Regiment, who have volunteered to serve in the 93d. The volunteers on their arrival at the station were loudly cheered. They were met by the band of the 93d Regiment, and escorted to the Citadel. This morning the 93d were inspected by General Sir }T ar ry Smith, in the presence of an immense concourse of people, who loudly cheered the soldiers. Tney were afterwards formed into square, and General Sir Harry Smith then addressed them as follows :—" Highlanders, on Monday you will embark for the purpose of meeting the enemies of your country. Soldiers have nothing to do with the cause of quarrels ; their duty is to fight. PART 11.

ROYAL ARTILLERY. Captain Levinge , s troop of Royal Horse Artillery as sembled at nine a.m. to-day in heavy marching order, with every appointment ready for field service, and pro ceeded to the common. Each gun was drawn by six fine horses, and the guns are to be all 9-pounders, with 12-pounder and 24-pounder howitzers, with spare wheel for each gun-carriage. The field batteries assembled at the same time, and proceeded to the common, and were drawn up in line, Captain Paynter's company, Bth bat talion, on the right ; Captain Fitzmayer's company, 3d battalion, in the centre ; and Captain Thomas's com pany, 3d battalion, on the left. Captain Cheetham's company, 11th battalion (now Captain Anderson's, on his promotion to be captain), were drawn up in the rear of the other batteries, and without guns. Lieut.-Colonel Anderson, commanding-officer of the field batteries, minutely inspected the men and their ap pointments, which are all of the new approved patterns of pouches and belts, &c. The officers, as well as the men, carried their canteens and canvass bags for provi sions, and the scene was of a very animated description, each gun being drawn by eight fine horses, and each waggon by six horses. There are six guns, with eleven waggons, in each battery, and 170 horses attached to them. After the inspection the batteries marched past in column of half battery at a walk, and then filed in a column of route across the common down the Shooter's returniog past the veterinary stables, and en tering the barrack-ground by the south-west gate. The Royal Horse Artillery had previously proceeded across the common in a nearly similar route, and returned to barracks. ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS. The 7th company, under the command of Captain Gibb, Royal Engineers, left the Arsenal station of the North Kent Railway at an early hour to-day for the Waterloo station, en route to embark at Southampton. Lieutenant Elphinstone. Lieutenant Anderson, and Lieu tenant Drake, Royal Engineers, embark at the same time. Lieutenant Lempriere, Lieutenant Graham, and Lieu tenant Martin are under orders to embark with Captain Hassard and the 11th company. EDINBURGH The 4th Regiment (King's Own), at present in Edin burgh Castle, are under orders lor the E ist, and in readi ness to move. They have been joined by 142 volun teers from Chatham, and only await the arrival of the steamer Golden Fleece at Leith, where they are to em bark for their destination. The 77th, in Giasgow, are to embark on the Clyde in the steamer Atrato—a fine vessel. on the eve of completion there. It is expected that the embarkation of both regiments will take place on or about the Ist of March. The detachment of ar- tillery in Leith Fort have supplied a contingent of 30 men, with 50 horses, to this branch of the expedition. It is expected that the 4th and 77th will be, meanwhile, relieved by small detachments of the 82d, at present distributed in Stirling Castle, Perth, and Dundee. The effective military force of Scotland will, until new ar rangements are made, be reduced by the departure of these regiments from about 3,000 to 1,300 or 1,400 men, distributed throughout the entire kingdom. DUBLIN, FEB. 24, The .50th Regiment embarked at Kingstown to-day , on board the Cambria, amid the cheers of a large con course of people. The steamer will not sail until to morrow morning. It is blowing a perfect hurricane from the westward. The 21st (Royal North British Fusiliers), now sta tioned in Dublin) have been extremely successful in picking up recruits towards the augmentation of this fine corps. A great number were attested yesterday before the magistrates of the head office of police. The 21st expect to form a part of the second division of the expeditionary army to Turkey. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 24, The Vulture, 6, paddle frigate, Captain Glasse, ar rived at Spithead this morning from Plymouth, and came into harbour in the evening to lar.d 1,000 bags of bread which she has on board. The Simoom, 18, screw troop-ship, Captain Smith, got steam up to-day to try her engines. The B )scawen, 70, Captain Glanville, exercised her crew at Spithead this morning in gunnery, when some very sharp practice took place. The Hamoaze lighter sailed to-dayfor Devonport, with ordnance for the Duke of Wellington, 131, and the Devon lighter arrived to-day from Plymouth, with victualling stores for the Clarence-yard. The Juno, 26, Captain Freemantle, sailed from Spit head last evening on a cruise, to exercise her crew. The Gorgon, 6, advance steam-sloop, was commissioned yesterday afternoon pro tem. by Commander Gardener for troop service. She went over to Cowes in the even ing, and returned this morning. Another sad accident ocurred on board the steamer in the steam basin dock on Thursday evening, which proved fatal to a poor man named William Sarl, a labourer, who missed his footing, and fell down the hold, receiving such severe injuries that he died very shortly afterwards. He leaves a widow and seven chil dren to lament his sad end. Four-hundred men belonging to the Coast-guard are expected to-day for the Neptune, 120, Captain Smith, C.B. They mostly come from Ireland and Scotland. Some of these men are good seamen, but others know nothing of service, and have never been on board ship before. They are, however, a steady and well disciplined body of men, and are soon brou g ht i nto a s tate of efficiency on board ship. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 24. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Vulture, 6, Commander F . 11. Glasse, sailed yesterday with biscuit for the troops about to embark at Portsmouth. The screw steam-sloop Desperate, 8, Captain W. W. Chambers, was warped to the jetty yesterday, and will be placed in dock on Monday. The crew of the Nile, 90, p►inted topmasts yesterday. The topsailyards were crossed and topmast rigging set up on hoard the James Watt yesterday. WOOLWICH, FEB. 24. APPOINTMENTS. Acting-clerk John Kiddie, to the Dragon, paddle wheel steam-frigate, at Portsmouth. Clerks'-Assistants.—John E. Evans, to the Victory flag-ship, at Portsmouth ; H. V. Forest, to the Dauntless screw steam-frigate, at Portsmouth. The Rhadamanthus steam store-vessel, Master-Com mander Belam, was taken out of the basin to-day, and immediately left for Portsmouth and Devonport. The newly-entered men of the Fisgard flag-ship at this port, 64 in number, were paid wages yesterday when the pay-clerks came down from the Admiralty to pay the Rhadamanthus. They have gone through drill and great gun exercises for some time, and the know ledge they have acquired is highly creditable to them and satisfactory to their instructors.
