DUBLIN, MAT 24.
Yesterday afternoon, forty men of the Dublin
Militia, who had voinausered to cone in the Crimea, em-
barked on uoard the City of Limerick steamer for Chatham,
tabs drafted into regiments serving in the Crimea. As the
steamer left the quay, the wolunteen were warmly cheered
by a large number of poisons aseembied on shore.

The Transport Board have ordered that all horse
Doses on board cavalry troop ships shall be 6 R. 3 in. long,
2 ft. 6 in. broad in the clear, and 6 R. 8 in. high. At the
commencierneat of the war many of the horse bones on board
she transports were of smaller dimensions than the above,
and which proved injurious to the homes sent out in them.
It is expected that before the 20th of next month
every available man in the United Kingdom belonging to
infantry regiments of the line will have embarked for the
mat of war. The 15th Regiment of Foot, one wing of
which returned last week from Ceylon, is stated to have
been plied under orders for foreign service. When the left
wing arrives, which is daily @spotted, the regiment, inched-
lag the depot companies, will master nearly 600 bayonets.
Resetting parties have arrived to London, and it is fully
expected that by volunteering from the various depots of re-
giments serving in the colocies and the militia the corps can
be embarked above 1,000 strong about the middle of June.
The 61st King's Light Infantry will muster about 1,400
bayonets, in addition to the depot companies, which will
be left in England. A portion of the regiment will be sta-
tioned with the reserve in the lonian Islands. The 80th
Foot and 3rd battalion of the 60th Rifles are expected to
embark in about ten days for the Crimea ; and the 94th
Foot, with large draughts for the Ist and 2nd battalions of
the Rifle Brigade, will follow. Recruiting foe the 98th Foot,
recently remised from India, is being prosecuted with
• vigour, in order to complete it to the war establishment of
1,200 men. This regiment did not return more than 600
Snag, a very large number having volunteered into other
regiments in India previous to leaving. Very great seer-
- boos are being made by government to send a strong
*leaky fora to the Crimes; two regiments, consisting of
700 satires each, besides large draughts from the cavalry
depots, with remount horses, will embark between this and
the 120 June.
On Thursday afternoon the head-quarters of the
98th Regiment, which arrived at Gravesend, from Calcutta,
by the Prince of Wales, reached the Btrood station, where,
after fsrolog, they marched to Chatham, preceded by
their excellent band. Owing to the barracks being se full,
the men were billeted at the various Miss, a most unusual
occurrent*. Daring the afternoon an omnibus from
Gravesend, conveying the invalids of the 98th, reached
Fort Pitt Hospital. The regiment has been absent 13 years.
The men appear in excellent spirits, sad say they are quite
ready and willing to go totbe Crimes. Colonel Haythothe
returns in command of the 98th, which numbers 700. One
hundred and seventy came in with bead-quarters. The
remainder are expected in the Rutledge, Blenheim, and
Merclatese. The iUribef bee already been telegraphed.
