the position commanded that of the bill on which the Second Division were encamped—were of very large calibre. They threw their shells thickly among the tents of this division, and notwithstanding they wore struck at an early hour of the day, they have been literally riddled with the fragments of the shells which burst among them. In the early part of the morning, as column after column advanced from the direction of the town, the Lancaster gun, the only one which remained in the 5-gun battery, was brought tp bear upon them, and did great execution. The Russians made a very determined assault to secure this piece, but were repulsed. Some of our troops, iu turn advancing, drove the gunners away, and had actually taken possession of four of the enemy's brass field guns which they had advanced, but a large body rose which had been previously concealed among the brushwood, an com pelled them by their fire to relinquish their possession. At ono time the Second Division, having advanced toe far to the right, were in a very great hazard of being cut off, and were in a groat measure saved by the rapid ad vance of a large body of Zouaves and other French troops, which, coming rapidly upon the Russians still more to the right, prevented them from making a further attack against our troops on their flank. In the early part of the day—indeed, almost simulta neous with the commencement of the grand attack on the right—cannonading was heard in the direction of Balak lava. It soon became evident that no very serious advance was intended in this direction, and that part of the troops previously lying in the plain had been withdrawn during the night to assist in the execution of the principal object of the engagement, carried on by the force against our right. The attack on the left was of a more determined character, and was made by several columns of Russian infantry, supported by artillery. The French went out to meet them, and though they received them with a heavy fire of musketry, two hours elapsed before they were finally driven back within their fortifications. Some of the Rus sian columns marched along the sea shore, and had one of oar ships been within range much execution might have been done among them. It will be impossible until the returns are collected to estimate the number of killed and wounded who have fal len this day. It is well known that the list will be a very serious one. Sir George Cathcart, commanding the 4th Division, is among the killed, as is also poor old General Strangways, commanding the Ordnance Department. His fine form, and snow white hair, had long made him conspicuous among his troops ; equally, as he is said to have been, Efor his amiable and estimable qualities among the large circle of his friends and acquaintances. He lost a leg, which was carried away by a round shot, and died soon afterwards from the effects of the injury. General Goldie is also killed. Sir George Brown was wounded in the arm. It was a flesh wound, but he has keen lately suffering from general indisposition, and, acting upon the advice of his friends, he has quitted his com mand, and gone for treatment on board the Agamemnon. He was removed on a litter in ono of the commissariat carts. Brigadier General Adams is wounded, as is also General Torreus, in command of a brigade of the 4th divi sion. Major-General Bentinck, commanding the brigade of Guards, is also wounded, but, it is reported, not severely. Brigadier-General Buller, commanding the 2d brigade Light Division, received a contused wound in the leg from a round shot. The ball went through the body of his horse; it entered its chest, and bruised the general's leg as it passed oat of the animal's flank. The official returns will alone enablo the names of the many officers of other grades killed and wound in this action to be known. All the Regiments of the 2d Divi Bien have suffered severely, and the Coldstream regiment, particularly in the Brigade of Guards. The regiments which happened to have been detached for ditty in the trenches alone escaped without considerable loss. General Sir do Lacy Evans, whose gallant defence of the position under his command on the 26th ult. was so favour ably noticed by Lord Raglan in orders, was unfortunately an invalid, and on board ship at Balaklava. Subsequent to the action alluded to ho had a fall from his horse, but he had previously been weakened by suffering from illness. Hearing of the attack ho came up to the front, and was present on the field ; but he was too weak to assume eoranaand. The less of the Russians must have been immense. Their dead are lying up to the very doors of the tents of the Second Divisioe, and they are thickly strewed among the bushes around. The high road leading up to this position from the direction of the Inkerman valley, and which winds along one of the precipitous sides of a very deep ravine, is covered with their bodies. The - wounded are being collected, but numbers will have to lie where they are until daylight shall again afford an opportunity for re moving them. About 603 prisoners are at present under guard, and this number does not include the wounded Russians who have been taken to the various hospitals. One of the most obvious and serious deficiencies in our arrangements—one which led to the unnecessary loss of many valuable lives—was the absence of any earthworks, a line of entrenchments, to protect the camp of the Second Division. Its position on our extreme right—on the side of the hill, with a gentle slope, and directly connected with the high mountain which descends upon the valley of the Tehernaya river where it falls into the head of the Se bastopoll roadsted, is necessarily very much exposed. Tho absence of such works can only be attributed to our hav ing underrated the strength ef the Russian troops, or to having held a too low estimate of their courage. At one time ear men had to rally in front of their tents to save the camp itself, and the numbers of Russian dead who are now lying within ten yards of the advanced row of them proves how close was the struggle, The rapidity with which the French fortify a post as soon as it is occupied, offers a striking contrast with our neglect of the pre caution in the present instance. A high road from the Inkerman valley passes up to the camp by ono of the ra vines. Across this road was drawn a simple stone breast work, but beyond this the defence appears to have been wholly entrusted to the courage and arms of the troops. The courage has not been wanting; ,„and the position has been retained, but it has been at a fearful sacrifice of life. Another misfortune was that, owing to the continuous damp of the night and day previous to the attack, many of the percussion caps missed fire, and the men were unable to discharge their musket,. This was found to be the case particularly at the early part of the morning. The French observed, too, that our men in repulsing advanced too far without sufficient support. It is said that the Russian soldiers had been liberally supplied with raki previous to the commencement of the attack. Their continued loud shoutings and the impetu osity of their attack render it probable they were under the influence of some artificial stimulas of the sort. In the canteens, also, of many of the killed on the field was found a mixture of raki and water. The men who have fallen into our hands, though generally of short stature, are of sturdy frames, with broad chests, and well-developed muscular legs. Their clothing is well-made and warm ; and, though coarse in texture, an amply sufficient protection against the weather. The voluminous folds •f their great coats, the sleeves of which are doubled back as nearly as far as the elbows, while the skirts descend to the ankles,—throw the " skimp ing" ordnance great coats issued to our troops completely in the shade as regards comfort and warmth. To prevent the length of the coat inconveniencing the wearer when walking, the skirt all round is mado by a very simple con trivance to loop up above the knees. So, also, the coat can be worn loose like a cloak, or drawn in at the waist. The men carry with them mittens of thick black cloth, the filar fingers being together in one, the thumb in another division of the glove. Great advantages resulted from the employment of the ambulances in the removal of the wounded during the pro gross of the action. It is to be lamented that so few of these vehicles have been sent out—two only to each divi aion--and that the army is net provided with some contri vance similar to the mule ambulances of the French. On each aide of the mule is an iron frame, which can be either used as a seat or unfolded into a reclining couch, thus en abling two wounded to be carried either in a sitting pos ture or lying at full length. Numbers of these were occu pied in carrying the wounded to the rear. Their peculiar h s v i ali r beingi age is th a t no i rregu l ar i ty o f th e grouid prevents able t o arr i ve at the spot where the serv i ce o f an ambulance may be required. The hospital marquees and tents were s. greet comfort in preventing the exposure which occurred after the a rytootiobn at Alma. I need hardly add that the surgeons h and are likely to conti nue so for b een fully e d m ay p s lo t y o e c d orn al e l . d ay, CAMP ABOVE battle y es t er d a y. SEI3k.STOPOL, Nov. 6. of were t o b e seen f I have just returned from the field The numbers of the dead far exceed w in a like space at Alma. Fromthe emery tents of the 2 d Div isio n over the hills, on t y h e highdoorsrs of the road, and along the ravine, down to the very valley below the Inkerman ruins, the earth is strewed with dead arms, and ammunition , c lothin g , and all the cle;hries where wonfcl the, fight. At the angle of the hill which juts oat, Inkerman valley opens to the plain along which wind s the the Tchernaya river, was som etime a g o constr ucted a two-gu n battery. The guns have been removed, but the work re mains. Within, and fora wide distance in front and on each side of this battery, the ground is literally, no t figuratively, covered with dead and dying. Moro of the grey colour of the Russian groat coat meets the eye th an does that of the hill or low brushwooi itself. Here took Place one of the fiercest struggles of the day. The Guards, who were occupying this work, were at one time over- Pewered by the Russian force, and compelled to retire ; but after re-forming they returned to the attack, and not only expelled their assailants, but drove them clown the sides of the hill with fearful slaughter. The breastwork of the battery was 7 feet high, so that the guards could not fire ever the parapet, ant BO sandbags had been placed to enable them to do so. When the Russians for a short time held it, they seized a few lying about, and made a step, which was afterwards used against themselves. There has evidently been much neglect here—it coatis like infatua tion. The Russians themselves ought never to have been able to have advanceclso far as they did, much more to have brought their guns with them. Now, when the evil has happened, the Ott oman t roons a re being actively emP:ved throv-in4 a lice of entrenchments our , : the vamp ; breastw or k s are being raised in various positions ; and the high road, which winds down the side of the ra vine to the head of the harbour, and up which the Rilf3oi,4ll troops easily marched, is being broken up and diked in certain parts. Had it not been for the artillery which the enemy were able to bring up, our loss would have been considerably lessened, and their advance repulsed at a much earlier hour of the day. In all probability the leading troops of the Russians took up their position during the fog of the night, and concealed themselves among the bushes which cover the sides of the hills close in front of our advanced picquets. AN ENNISKILLEN DRAGOON IN BATTLE. The following remarkable letter, which we find in the Dorset Chronicle, is from a captain in the Enniskillen Dragoons, a regiment whose olden fame has been bril liantly maintained in the recent cavalry action in the Crimea : CAMP NEAR BALIKLATA, Nov. 2, 1854. Dear Jack,—* * I am, you see, alive at this date, but God knows for how long after. You have, I presume, de voured all the accounts which have boon sent home as to our glorious charge. Oh, such a charge Never think of the gale') and trot which you have often witnessed in the Phmnix-park when you desire to form a notion of a ge nuine blood hot, all-mad charge, such as that I have come out of—with a few lance probes, minus some gold lace, a helmet chain, and Brown Bill's (the charger's) right ear. From the moment we dashed at the enemy, whose po sition, and so forth, you doubtless know as much about as I cau tell you, I know nothing, but that I was impelled by some irresistible force onward, and by some invisible and imperceptible influence to crush every obstacle which stumbled before my good sword and bravo old charger. I never in my life experienced such a sublime sensation as in the moment of the charge. Some fellows talk of it being " demoniac." I know this, that it was such as made me a match for any two ordinary men, and gave me such an amount of glorious indifference as to life, as I thought it impossible to be master of. It would do your Celtic heart good to hear the most magnificent cheer with which we dashed into what P— W-- calls "the gully scrimage." Forward—dash—bang—clank, and there wo were in the midst of such smoke, cheer, and clatter, as never before stunned a mortal's ear. It was glorious Down, one by one, aye, two by two, fell the thick-skulled and over-numerous Cossacks and other lads of the tribe of old Nick. Down, too, alas! foll many a hero with a warm Celtic heart, and more than one fell screaming loud for victory. I could not pause. It was all push, wheel, phronsy, strike, and down, down, down they went. Twice I was unhorsed, and more than once I had to grip my sword tighter, the blood of foes streaming down over the hilt, and running up my very sleeve. Our old Waterloo comrades, the Greys, and ourselves, were the only fellows who flung headlong first into the very heart of the 3.fus coves. Now we were lost in their ranks—now in little bands battling—now in good order together—now in and now out, until the whole " Levies" on the spot plunged in to a forming body of the enemy and helped us to end the fight by compelling the foe to fly. Never did men run so vehe mently. But all this you have read in the papers. * * * I cannot depict my feelings when we returned. I sat down completely exhausted and unable to eat, though deadly hungry. All my uniform, my hands, my very face were bespattered with blood. It was that of the enemy ! Grand idea ! But my feelings,—they were full of that exultation which it is impossible to de scribe. At least twelve Russians were sent wholly out of the "way of the war" by my good steel alone, and at least as many more put on the passage to that peaceful exit by the sage excellent weapon. So als o can o t her s say. What a tEing to reflect on ! I have almost grown a soldier philosopher, and most probably will ono of these days, if the bullets which are flying about so abundantly give me time to brush up. My dear fellow, our countrymen have not tarnished their fame in the Crimea. Gallantry and glory will never aban don the march of Celtic bands—never ! Oh that I could have patience to write you of such deeds of individual heroism as have come within my notice ! Fictionists are shabby judges of true bravery. No novel ever had a sham hero who comes up to the realities I have witnessed. One of my troop, for instance, had his horse shot under him in the mcjec. " Bloody wars," he roared, " this won't do," and right at a Russian he ran, pulled him from his horse by the sword hand in the most extraordinary manner— then deliberatelycutting off his head as he came down,vaulted into the saddle, and turning the Russian charger against its late friends, fought his way. This took legs time to do than I to tall it.. I saw another of our fellows unhorsed, and wounded, creep under a Russian charger, and ran the sword up his belly. The animal plunged and fell on his slayer, crushing him to pieces. * * * We must take this doomed place, even as O'Grady says, if we be doomed who take it. Any one of our fellows is a snatch for three Russians. * * * The Light Cavalry charge was a des perate, but a grand affair. Lord Raglan is blamed. The general belief is that Nolan gave his order literally. Lucan is a regular fire-ball, but not mad enough to hays done that without strict commands. * * * We want reinforcements very badly ; without them we cannot con tinue to contend against fearful odds. SEI3ASTOPOL CAMP, Oct. 23, 1854. My dear Father,—You must excuse mo for not send ing you word about the 'fight we had with the Russians at the Alma heights, for I could not get any paper; for wo have been on the march and in camp over since I wrote to you last, and I could get no such thing as paper or ink. But to describe to you any particulars about the fight I cannot, only that the men fell dead about me just like knocking calebones (skittles) down, but we bad fine sport with our cannons. We shot the Russians like shooting flocks of sparrows, and we made them run in three hours and 20 minutes. We have been fighting now seven days, and they stand hard to us yet ; but to-night, I believe, ws shall come to closer quarters. S r hould it be so, then, if Old Nick is in Sebastopol ho will get his ribs drummed properly ; and I can tell you that I have had the pleasure of drum ming a few of his subjects at Alma heights; but no doubt you hear and see more in the papers than I can tell you about these affairs except I was at home, and then I could tell you all about it. Ido not think, however, should it please God to spare me, I shall bo at home these next two years; but I do feel thankful to God that ho, in his mercy, has spared me thus far, and I hope and trust He will do so all through the campaign. To tell you the truth, however, I do not care how soon it is over, for we get no rest either night or day ; for in the day we are hard fight ing, and in the night repairing the work.—Dear father, you must excuse mo not sending you more, but I have not time, for this I have written in the field on my knee, and have had to beg both paper and ink. However, I hope this will find you and all the family in good health, as this leaves me at present ; but I cannot tell the minute I may get popped off, but I have run clear so far, and I hope, with the help of God, I shall do so endways. Dear father, do not fail to give my love and respects to all ray old friends and companions, but more especially to Jim i'th' Well, or James Greenhalgh, and tell him that a beefsteak dumpling would be very acceptable here in the camp ; but my time is up, and I am again called to ray duty in order to give the Russians a few more of OM Parr's pills before dinner.—Farewell. Yours affectionately, JOHN BROOKS, Gunner and Driver, Royal Artillery, No. 3 Company, 11th Battalion. BURIAL OF GENERAL STRANGWAYS. BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Nov. 6.—ln front of the camp of the Fourth Division there is a sqaare plot of ground, , encloses by a low stone wall. It is the highest point on the hill, and, from the general appearance of the enclosure, it gives the impression of having at some time been used as a fort. From this site the spectator, on one side, looks down upon Sebastopol and its fortifications, its harbours, its ships, and the sea far beyond. On the other side the magnificent amphitheatre formed by the Yaila mountains is exposed to view—the lofty and rugged Chadir Dash crowning the scene in the distance. Shortly before the hour of sunset this afternobn, when the sun, which had been bright all the morning, had retired behind a thick canopy of grey threatening clouds—just as a cold cheerless breeze was springing up, and came, as if complainingly, through the long lines of teats—and when a veil of mist and smoke, every minute becoming more obscure, was drawn over the town below—there advanced slowly and silently up the side of the hill a troop of Royal Horse Artillery, with a solitary gun-carriage. On the gun-carriage rested a rough plank coffin, enclosing the mortal part of a good old soldier, General Fox Strangways. There was neither knell nor band, no funeral pall, no decoration, no attempt to cloak over the rough work of death. The dull distant boom of cannon, as gun replied to gun in the contending batteries, was the only music which...accompanied the war rior to his last resting-place. The troops of a whole divi sion under arms gazed at the sad precession as it slowly passed their front in solemn silence. They too had lost their leader. On the crest of this Russian hill, in the centre of this low-walled detached plot of earth, lies the corpse of another soldier well known to fame, Sir George Cathcart. Yet a little while, and by his side will be placed his brother in arms of yesterday; and then, amid prayers and tears, both will be consigned to the common earth. The retiring groups, among whom are some of England's bravest and noblest sons, as they pass away with bowed heads and strickened hearts, hope and believe that while the ashes Of these warriors rest here their glory will live e stilllive in m any a h eart far away ; an d w hil e th ey thi n k r on m whops re a deathin othersh a struck w ho w down, illd en theyeavo know endeavour that to achieve the glorious task entrusted to them by their country. THE FRENCH ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUC COURING THE WOUNDED AT THE BATTLE OF INKERMA.N. The French commissary of stores serving with the army in the Crimea makes to the Minister of War the fol lowing account of the measures adopted for succouring the wounded during the battle of Inkerman, and of the state of the ambulances at the date of November 7. Monsieur le Marechal,—The French army has just given another proof of its immense superiority over that of ltu.isia. It is not for me to speak of the combats that took place on tho. :;tll at L4k3..toali and a:: the very sit- of the siege; but I have to render an account to y ou of the administrative measures taken during this conj uncture. At the commencement of the adieu I Aleut a rainfQxce meet of mules, seats, litters, and stretchers to the Second. Division, the only one that had any of its troops engaged.. Later, and as the combat grew more serious on this sid'. l , and when it began in the trenches, I sent in succession to the various spots whatever conveyances I could. They were sufficient, for all our wounded were removed and placed in the ambulances before night. The removal of the wounded was superintended at the trenches by the Deputy Military Inspector, M. do Seganville, and by- ME,ssrs. Lo Creuror, Boucher, and Pironnoau on the bat tle-field of Inkerman ; this painful mission was piously fulfilled toz a ground incessantly ploughed up by balls. I had equal cause to praise the good services of Messrs. de la Broye, the officer in charge of the ambulance belonging to bead-quarters, and Juving, in charge of that of the Second Division. There were 230 French and a few Russians conveyed by the ambulance of the trenches to that of the head-quarter%, About 10 other Russians„ wounded at the siege worics, were sent to the ambulance of the 4th diriiion ; la4tly, that of the 2d division received 347 French and a few Eng lish wounded at Inkerman. All have been treated as their ()uses required. I also owe a just tribute of praise to the orderlies of the baggage train and to the hospital orderlies ; as ever, they have done their duty with remarkable devotion and self denial, thoroughly understood by tho whole army. The total number of patients in the ambulances amounts to 1,827, of whom 903 are wounded. The greater part of the wounded will be saved : , but there are some serious chaos. The principal ambulances of the trenches and of the 2d division were attended by all. members of the medical staff that could be spared from other points. During these severe trials our medical officers aro admi rable for the devotedness they display. I have found them on this occasion what they were at Gallipoli and Varna during the cholera, and at the battle of the Alma—wha+ A they hare been every day since the siege of Sebastopol commenced. If I had to name all those who have de served testimonials of satisfaction, I should be obliged to send to your Excellency the complete list of the medical men that belong to the ambulances in which the wounded have been received. Permit me only to mention to you the name of M. &rive, the physician in chief, who has di rected in the most satisfactory manner the medical service since our landing in the Crimea, and the names of Messrs. Thomas, Secourgeon, Malapert, chief of the ambulances belonging to the Ist, 2d, and 4th divisions ; also of Mariay and Mestres, physicians major on the staff. I am making arrangements for doraughting off some pa tients to Constantinople, in order to avoid crowding our ambulances, which after every engagement receive, besides our own wounded, a great many wounded Russians. Those, to the number of 500 or thereabouts, have been re ceived into our ambulances since the affair of the sth. ' I am, with respect, &c., (Signed) BLANCHOT. THE SUN, LONDON.

This morning, shortly before eight o'clock, the Grena dier, Coldstream, and Fusilier Guards left London by the South-Western Railway for Portsmouth, en route to the Crimea. On arriving at Portsmouth from London they will embark from the ilookyar(l jetty in the Sprightly, Fire Queen, Echo, aid Comet steamers, wl-ich will convey them to the Royal Albert, 121, screw, at Srithead. The Royal Albert will embark 730 officers and mon of the several battalions of Guards, as already specified, 488 officers and men of the 77th Regiment, eight officers of Royal Engineers, and 120 Sappers and Miners, making a total of 1,346 troops. She will leave to-morrow or Sunday for the Crimea ; and, as she goes at a speed only exceeded by a very few steam-ships afloat, they will doubtless make a quick and very comfortable passave. The excitement caused by the departure of the troops at the railway station in the Waterloo-road was very great, and during the whole tine the troops were in view one coatinued cheer was kept up. We believe that it has been decided to give to all the infantry regiments in the Crimea two additional lieu tenants and two ensigns. The following officers, now with their depots at Wal mer, are ordered to proceed forthwith with detachments to join their service companies in the Crimea : nth—Captain Massey, Lieut. Kirke, and E nsi g n E vans. 38th—Lieut. Breton and Ensign Ewen. 44th—Ensign Smith and Ensign Stavely. The 3d company R o y a l S appers a nd Miners, com manded by Captain F . W . Young, Roya l E ng ineers, are ordered for service i n th e Crimea. 1 d espa tch arrived at Chatham barr ac k s f or their immed i ate re moval on Wednesday night, an d t h ey proceed en F r id a y morning by railway to Woolwich, and then embark.

For the last few days the barrack-serjeant and his assistants have been busily engaged in collecting together all the spare blankets from the Exeter aid Top sham barracks, and these, it is understood, will be at once forwarded to the British camp in the Crimea. Yesterday nearly 170 young and athletic men, who had arrived in the metropolis on Wednesday from the northern and midland counties, were paraded, and in spected by the medical and principal officers of the re cruiting department, in Delahay-street" Westminster, and, with few exceptions, having been finally approved, were forwarded to the depots of the respective regi ments for which they enlisted. The greater portion aro for regiments serving in the expeditionary army, and the remainder for regiments in India and the colonies. The household troops receive daily augmen tation to their numbers, and recruiting for the cavalry progresses favourably. A large number of recruits from the various recruiting districts arrived at the recruiting depot, Delahay-street, and, in addition to those enlisted in the metropolis, will be inspected this day, when those who are approved will be forwarded to their re spective regiments. Since the recent order of the Board of Admiralty, the officers of the various naval•rendez voils have been indefatigable in their exertions to obtaia volunteers, many of whom arrive drily by railway from Liverpool, Bristol, and other outperts, and aro placed on beard the Crocodile receiving ship off the Tower, from which they aro drafted as opportunity ser►es to their respective ships.

About 2,000 tons of stores fir the Crimea aro to be despatched from Southampton. Some of these stores will consist of the wooden houses intended for winter quarters for the British army in the Crimea. It must be gratifying to the public to learn that two waggons, each containing twelve miles of telegraphic wire covered with gutty perch 7, and with ploughs and the necessary arrangements for laying down the wires, were put on board the Prince screw steam transport ship, at the Royal Arsenal, previous to her proceeding to Gi.eenhithep embark the 46th Regiment, and there can be no donut the valuable invention is now in full operation to prevent surprises, or to be made available fir conrentrating the British and French troops in any required locality to check the Russian forces in any future attacks on the pceiition of the Allies. Owing to a report received from Lord Raglan, Master- Ceaeral of the Ordnance, cemplaining -that the tools which have ',wen sent out to the East for the use of the Sappers and Miners have been found unfit for the pur poses required, Major Ord, R.E , with a selected num ber of nun-commissioned officers of the Royal Sappers, has been to the Tower of London and had an interview with Mr. Stacey, the principal storekeeper. They examined all the engineer field equipments in store, and they are to report on their state.

PROMOTION OF CAPTAIN COURTENAY. The melancholy death of Rear-Admiral of the White David Price, Commander-in-Chief on the Pacific station, promotes Captain Courtenay to be Rear-Admiral of the Blue, and causes a vacancy in his appointments of Superintendent of the Royal Naval Hospital at Hadar and. the Clarence Victualling-yard, Gosport posts which he has held but a short time, but long enough to insure the respect of all employed under bim. Having last commanded a 50-gun frigate, the Constance, on the Pacific station, and being in the prime of life, it is con sidered probable be may be offered the command in the Pacific! Capt. Henry Smith (a, 1828), C. 8., of the Prince Regent, succeeds Captain Courtenay at Haslar, as was stated on Tuesday. LAUNCH OF THE PYLADES, SCREW COR- VETTE, AT SHEERNESS.

Great enthusiasm prevails among the Militia regi ments at present embodied for service, on the announce ment being read permitting them to volunteer into any of the regiments they may choose to prefer, and by a telegraphic communication received at Woolwich yester day, upwards of 60 men of the Staffordshire Militia, sta tioned at Dover, have volunteered for service in the Woolwich Division of Royal Marines. The following militia regiments have been called out for permanent service :—The Dorsetshire, 4th Lanca , shire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, and Ist Cheshire. In addition to these corps, one infantry battalion and three artillery battalions will also be im mediately embodied for garrison duty. The Royal Bucks Militia, Colonel Cmimandant Lord Carrington, have given 150 volunteers to the Grenadier Guards, and yesterday the first detachment of thirty arrived at the Wellington-barracks, St. James's Park, from Windsor, whe, e the regiment is doing duty. The prophecies of failure to procure the number of volunteers la the Irish militia required by the exigency of the present crisis are, after all, not likely to he ful filled. The spirit of the country is thoroughly aroused. Even in Tipperary the call for service has been promptly and cheerfully responded to. The men of Wexford, too, have been equally prompt in their response to the national call. THE MEDITERRANEAN. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPB.)
