MORE TROOPS ORDERED TO TEE EAST•

The Crcesus 2,500 tons, screw-ship, Captain Hall,
belonging to the General Screw Company, and chartered
by the English Government for war-transport purposes,
is still in the large graving dock at Southampton, under-
going the repairs necessary to her stern and keel. When
they will be completed is a matter of doubt for the pre-
sent, as the extensive amount of the injuries received
and the difficulties conzequent upon the renovation are
much greater than expected. She has been carefully
surveyed, and is found to be able to carry with comfort
1,400 troops. The following detachments are under
orders to embark in this vessel for the Crimea, viz.:—
From Parkhurst-4th Regiment, 58 men.
2Sth Regiment, 46 men.
27th Regiment, 55 men.
From Wineliester-7th Regiment, 102 men.
211 Regiment, 102 men.
46th Regiment, 31 men.
71st Regiment, 51 men.
88th Regiment, 81 men. •
From WlLlmer-19th Regiment, 31 men.
38th Regiment, 102 men.
44th Regiment, 51 men.
From Portsmouth—Rile brigade, Ist Battalion, 102
men.
From Plymouth-34th Regiment, 63 men.
From North Britain, 42d Regiment, 71 men.
93d Regiment, 73 men.
From Preston--18th Regiment, 145 men.
Total, 1,164' men.
This includes non-eommissioned officers.

About 46 officers will accompany these detachments,
and she will also convey about 500 tons of stores, 13
tons of warm clothing for the troops embarked, and
camp equipage for the officers.

FIELD-MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN IN
TIIE CRIMEA.

The Moniteur de l'Arnzee publishes the following ex.
tract of a letter, dated before Sebastopol, 19th ult. :
"Lord Raglan came this morning to our head.,
quarters. Ho is a good rider, and does not appear to'
feel the want of the arm which he left at Waterloo. He
looks well, has a good colour, with a beard a little grey.
He came without any ceremony, wearing a cap covered
with oilskin. The English are the most free and easy
men wo know. The following, which occurs under our
eyes, will appear perhaps scarcely credible. In the
trenches they light a fire, make their tea, and then
sitting down on the back of the trench, quietly smoke.
The sentinel now and then goes and looks over the
parapet, and, if he sees nothing, he comes down again
amongst his comrades. A shell falls, but no one takes
any notice of it. If one of the party should be hit, two
of his comrades rise up and carry him away with the
greatest coolness ; the others do not stir. With us we
are careful not to make any fire. We suffer more int
the trenches from this circumstance, but we have less
casualties, as the smoke cf a fire forms a good mark
for the enemy's batteries. The engineers continue to
surround Sebastopol with their trenches, which is now
at 90 metres from the place. It is at this distance
that the third parallel is placed. We are prepared to
establish ourselves by main force in flag staff bastion as
soon as the English artillery shall be ready to support
ours in silencing the cross fire of the enemy."
