NAVAL AND MILITARY,

We (Glob.) believe it is at present intended that
the troops to be permanently enosesped at Alder-
'Doti will omelet of a brigade of cavalry of four 'registeata,
and two divisions of isfanny, each made up of two brigades
of three battalions. The first division, es at present ic-
tended, will comprise three battalions of toe Guards (let of
the Gresindien, 2nd of the Coldstream', and 2nd of the Scots
Feeilien) in one brigade, seder Major-General J. R. Craw
Bird and the three battalions of the Rifle Brigade, la
another, under the command of Colossi Lawrence, the
WSW regimental officer, who will have the rack of metro,
general. This division will, we believe, be commanded by
lord Rokeby, who bad the ant division of the CrlmeeL
army under his direction. The mooed division will consist
of Ma battalions of the line, of which the 7th sod 23rd Fusi-
liers, the 88th, Connaught Rangers, end, we believe, the
19th end Ilird Regiments will term • portion. Sir James
Yorke illeariett will command the cavalry. With artillery
and Lead Transport, the total :umber of men on the
greeted will g lly be about 14,000. Sir Colin Campbell's
seamed at Sborneliffe will comprise thne regiments et
cavalry sad eta battalions of infantry. The loniskilling
Dragoons, with the 41st end 44th, and the 42d, 79th, and
988 Highlandere, will be amass the corps encamped there.
