TROOPS FROM IRELAND FOR INDIA.

------DiIBEHVIZ:Zr 29.
Yesterday the harbour of Kingstown exhibited
an unusually animated appearance, cocesiated by the pre-
sence of the line fleet of rtaam and screw transport ships
now lying at their mooting. and alongside the jetty and pier.
These Yelps are amongst the finest specsmens of the mercan •
tale marine 'beat, and have been chartered, regardless of ex-
ma.beroanse of their superior epeed, by the East India
y, to convey troops direct to Ceylon, at which
place they are bonne to arrive within seventy days, and
where they will receive further orders am to where
they are to proceed to land the troops. Alongside the
newts at anchor lighters end barges were hove-to, with
their crews actively engaged in getting sores, pro-
visions, baggage, ace on beard the transports. Boats
of all kinds End deicriptinns were plying between the
ships and the shore, and the harbour and bay were crowded
with yachts and small sailing craft. The transport ships in
harbour wart the Robert Lowe anew steamer, ship-rigged,
of 1,600 toss burden, 120-horse power, bet • to W. 8.
Lindsay and Co., of Liverpool ; the John Bell screw
steamer, 1,200 tons burden, belonging to Mertra. Bell, of
Glasgow ; the Thebes end Carthage, two screw steamer. of
1,000 tans burden each, brig-rigged, and belonging to Messrs.

belonging to Messrs. Green, of Blackwell; the Detiance,
ship-rigged, end 1,100 tone burden; and the Louisiana,
ship-rigged, 1,400 tons burden. On no previous oceseion has
there been seen so many large ships in Kingstown harbour.
They are all first-classvessels, and comprise the first section
of sixteen transports chartered to take troops to the East
hors this port. At half-pest twelve o'clock the second
division of the let Royals arrived in Kingstown by 'wheat,
and after forming into line on the jetty embarked on board
the Robert Lowe, Captain Congleton commander. The
troops consisted of 400 rank and file, under the command of
Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. C. D. Plankett, and the fol-
lowing officers —Major Neville; Captains Christie, Smith,
and Gregoey ; Lieutenants Seagrave, Watson, Cumming,
Creagh, Willis, Brock, and Steer; Eneigne Shangly, Mill,
Badgely, Johnson, and Assistant-Surgeon Smith. The
Robert Lowe carries out 168 days' pruvirtons and 40 days
fuel. She lea splendid ship, end her commander is almost
certain of making the voyage in something over sixty days,
as he has received orders to touch at no place until he
reaches his destination at Ceylon. Alter the troops had
embarked the vessel wee hauled out to her moorings in the
harbour.

ittiaixoelkmey the Lord-Lieutenant and suite arrived by
the three o'clock train and proceeded on beard in the harbour
master's barge to pay a pasting visit to the officers. Ile re-
mained for nearly an hour, and when leaving the vmsel shook
hands warmly with each of the officers. His Excellency on
coming on shore left Kingstown in an open carriage and four
and proceeded to the Viceregal Lodge.
About half-pant three o'clock the magnificent steam screw
ship United Kingdom arrived in harbour, and after clearing
the Kingstown light fired a salute es she bore up to her moor-
ings. She is one of the finest vessels we have ever seen of
her class, and she is said to be one of the fastest ships that has
yet been chartered as a transport. On to-morrow the first
division of the 98th Regiment will embark, and active mea-
sures are being takes by John Thompson, Req., the emberta-
tine officer engaged by the East India Company, to get the
other troops on hoard with se little delay as possible The
Robert Lowe sailed this morning at daylight.

ANTI-MORMON RIOT IN BIRMINGIIAM.—A feeling
of great hostility Ilea for some time past been tlldnifrated
towards the Mormons, who are rather numerous in Birming-
ham. On Sunday evening matters reached a climax. The
Mormons bare a chapel in a narrow thoroughfare, called
Thorpe-street, and nearly opposite this building, Dr. Brind-
ley, the master of a echolastic establishment at Leamington,
and who sweetly conducted a /school neer Liverpool, lec-
tured upon the abominations of Joseph Smith's follow-ere to

the mom respectable-looking of his hearers left the street
when he did, the great majority remained, and shortly after-
wards a nub was made to the chspel where " President"
Anbeey wee preaching at the time. The aisles and 11130C-
vapid mita ware speedily filled, and then a running lire of
comment on the airmen was commenced and carried on by
the intruders for some Om or ten minutes. It Is stated that
much of the language used was of the lowest and most die-
gmesful kind. At last Aubrey abruptly Mooed his discourse,
and disclaimed his congregation. It was with great difficulty
that they forced their way through the crowds in the chapel
ad end the street. The females were hustled, insulted, and
tered with mud; the men had their hats knocked of
an were struck on every side. The police were sent for, sad
quiet were partially restored. As soon, however, as the con-
stables bad retired, the door of the chapel was burst open,
the crowd rushed in. the front windows were smashed, and •
Bible and ravers] other books stolen. The interior of the
chapel was a some of the unmet riot. A body of police ar-
