TRANSPORTS FOR THE RETURN OF THE TROOPS
18011 Tall Calms.—Yeiterdsy morning orders were issued
from the War Department, end f,r warded to the agents fir
transports at the various outptrts, to have prepared and
fitted all the available co artist der.ote that are to or may
strive at their respective ports with the least possible deity,
and it is rated that, notwithstanding tho very large num-
ber of transports in the service, they have been sound, on
eateulttion, to be insufficient for the croveyacc a of the cony
sod the Tart accumulation of materials end stores from ttiv
Crimea, sod that it is the intention of the government to
take up 20,000 tons of rirpdiog in attlition fir their
transport.

The Malta Times, of the lltb, says:—" An inspeo-
tier of the be ne firths ry took port yesterday morn': g on

and th es inspected paete,day ...rung were intended to
have been sent on to the Creme& from England. P,ale
having been declared a counter order was f.rwasdn 1 knee,
and they now remain with uUr a abort time. Tn., horse*,
numbering about 2.50 to 300, are in very pod c nAstion

PLANS FOR INFANTRY AND CAVALRY BAR-
RACKS EXHIBITING AT BURLINGTON
HOUSE.

The government have most praiseworthily taken
into coasileration the subject of constructing proper bar
racks both fur the Infantry and Cavalry. By the term
proper barracks" we Milk homes for large nurnb.rs of
soldiers which stall be adapted to the military uses for
which they are destined, gad in which the moral and
physical coo& rt cf the Gametes shall be moat ccapletely
secured, regitteatal stations, in oboe, made as useful, com
mAlious, healthful, and agreeable as the intelligence of this
age will admit of. To this end a committee, composed
almost massively of military men spdointed by Lard Pan-
ama to obtain evidence upon the subject of barracks, issued
la tLe course of last yeas two advertisements inviting archi-
tects to submit plans for the said soldier:quarters. The result
was that oa the 30th of September last 89 p'aus for infantry,
sod tweaty•ftve pleas for cavalry barracks were produced.
Si: premiums were gives, vie., three to each denomination

et b•resck-1501. for the fiat prize, 1001 for the sic rad, sad
601. for the thir.l. Tbese pleas, including the chosen onto,
are now being exhibited hie at Barlingua. Louse, Picea.

are* on the prircical fl.or of that stately mansion.

We feel mach plummier referriae to articles on this very
important subject in the two I.st impreseions of the Builder.
We wish government would show itself more alive t 3 the
advantage to be derived horn a full and public inspect on
of the plans. No pains seem to be liken to elicit informa-
tion spots t re sabisct from a free discuuion of the designs.
Very few persons visit toe exhibition. No sign is given at
the entranmtgats of Berlingtcn-house that the little jib-
&or of the letter is opts to the public. It so ilt appear as
it it were wished to keep people out, and to have m little
light as possible thrown upon the subject. A Gorefrotse
1 exhibition would not be leis frequented.

At ft! of Kluburn, the flag-bearer of the
regiment of Taiolek was killed, and the deg falling
amongst the blood stained and smoking rains would have bt-
arms the property of the French, but that it happened tube
seen by a Simian soldier, who took it from its staff and
plaid it in his breast. He was afterwards made prisoner
and taken to Conitentinople,but cot trived to e neeal the d,g
D.tween his dress and its lining. Transferred to Lyoas with
all his regiment, be revealed his seeset to no one, not even to
the Rus.isn seelesiastice. At last an exchange took place,
and on reaching Odessa the man told the captain of the
port ttat he bad saved the Bag of his regiment, but that
he would give it sp only to the emnsaader-is-chief,
Genital BuchcatnetL When he bad left quarantine the
gag was gives up to the general, end the latter with his
own howls sailed it to a new staff. Oa the sth instant the
soldier was carried la triumph through Ike streets of Oast.,
and he has sinew been promoted to the rank of ofaeer, and
haw received • good pension, together with the more of
George.

IRON SCREW STEAMERS AND THE GOODS TRADE
There is sesry prospect that all the goods trade, end vary
much of this cut trade Dom the notti:-..aet c..al ports, will
shortly be tarried by iron screw steamer,. A quiet but
gradual reve.utiou is alas gong on In the eustieg trade;
sad steam is so thoroughly ousting the soiling vessels in the
goods trade, that is a year or two it is anticipated that
muesli a ton el diode will be taken from tie Time by sail-
ing ships to napes the leading p ru on the onset. Formerly
a fleet of large bilis were employed in the lisweastle and
London goods trade, o swaying a kali, lead, gse.bsicke, aa.

and Roma! merchandise if re Lenlon to the Tine; the
