PORTSMOUTH, Maxtor 2.
One hundred and sizty horses have embarked to-
day on board the steam troop-ship Himalaya, Commander
Priest, for the East. Of these, 120 came down from Wool-
wich by rail, arriving bete at an early hoer this morning.
The remainder consisted of a troop (the D troop) of Royal
Horse Artillery, oommanded by Captain Price. They took
new gun carriers on board, I.ut no guns. The troo:i came
from Christchurch, in this county, which place they
left at an early hour this morning. Captain Haw-
kina's company of the Royal Artillery, 200 strong, came
down with the horses from Woolwich, and embarked on
bard the Himalaya. A large amber of officers of the
staff go out in this ship. The embarkation of the horses was
effected in the most expeditious and satitfactory manner.
'The horses were walked on board from the dockyard
jetty, serves a wide gangway, end backed into their stalls
on the upper deck; whilst those for the main deck
were lowered down in horse boxes, and then placed in the
stalls. The work occupied but little time, was performed
in a syatematic manner, and without the smallest accident.
The Himalaya is expected to sail to-morrow for Quotas
town, to embark a similar number there, after which she
proceeds on her voyage, calling at Gibraltar for another 100
horses and Spanish mules. Sae has an immense quantity of
stores of every kind on board, both for the men and horses'
she takes out, and for the army.
The baggage of the let Royal Lancashire Militia was em-
barked to-day on board the screw transport Calcutta ; the
regiment itself expecting to embark to-morrow.
The Imperieuse, 61, screw ship, Captain R. B. Watson,
C.D., has again adjusted her compasses to-day. When she
has completed, she will go out of harbour to Spithead, ready
for sea.

The boys' shirts and drawers sent out to our
soldiers in the Crimea must have been of Leicester manu-
facture, for we are informed, on good authority, that
London house supplied the Board of Ordnance with up-
wards of 20,0001. worth, all English make, but every
parcel labelled " Scotch Lambe Wool." The Londoner
knew the authorities at Pall•mill and the Tower would
not know the diff•renee between Scotch and English
hosiery.—Glasgow
