damage received by riding at moorings alongside the
steam-vessel is oar harbour during the late strong wind
whisk sprunig up in the night after steam of both vowels

at* not able safely to cross the North Sea with their long
gut forward ; and applications are being made by the coin-
manila' Mims fit permission for their heavy guns to be
sent on in some competent vessel is company with them
until they arrive near their seat of work. It is at present
unknown whether the Admiralty will comply with this re-
quest, which has been, after mature ionsidezatioa and con-
sultatious, made to their lordships
The floating battery Glatton, not Glutton, was taken
into dry dock on Wednesday evening.

DUBLIN, Attu, 26.
Captain Riddle's company of the Royal Artillery,
consisting of 150 men, embarked yesterday for Woolwich,
on their way, it is supposed, for the seat of war; and on the
Ist of next month it is expected that another company will
start for the same destination.
The transport ships, Onward and Lady Russell, sailed
from their mooting*, outside Kingstown harbour, early
yesterday morning, having on board detscuments of the
4th and 6th Dragoon Guards, with a supply of horses and
appointments. The Zebra, screw steamer, is still lying at
the wharf, at Kieptewn, taking on board, along with a
variety of army stores, a quantity of peat charcoal to com-
plete the complement of 400 tons of that article, to be used
for deodorising and sanitary purposes In the hospitals of
veuteri and Balaklava. On ber passage down channel the
Z-bra -ill call at Queenstown to embark troops, and t►ence
proceed direct for the Rest.
The 3rd Want York have received orden of readiness to
proceed to Waterford he relieve the depot of the 2nd
(Queen's) Regiment. A large draft of the last named
corps, consisting of 6 °Seers and 192 men left Waterford on
Tuesday for Cork, where they embark to loin the service
companies at the Cape of Good live.
The work of preparation is carried on with great spirit at
the camp, on the Cornish of Kildare, but it is thought that
still greater efforts will be required, and an additional num-
ber of workmen, to have it complete within Inc eneeified
time. Mr. Holm*, of Liverpool, who has already obtained
the contract for the construction of a number ut tntpple-
mental huts, has been now chwen by the Board of Ordnance
to undertake the necessary works tor the supply of water
to the troops who are to be encamped at the Curragh. His
plan matins in sinkiog an excavati in to the depth of
120 feet, where he is confident of being able to obtain pure
water in sufficient abundance ; but should it fail, the
original proposition mast be resorted to, of bringing it from
the Liffey, a distance eagerly three miles.
The Ondine, sorew steamer, which arrived yesterday at
the North Wall, from London, brought over four invalided
soldiers, returned from the Crimea. The invalids spike in
grateful terms of the attention which had been paid to them
by the commander of the vessel As, however, only deck
I passers had been taken for them, is pursuance of a govern
• ment regulation, they were obliged to sleep on straw in the
r forshold.
