THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

It is intended to augment the Land Transport Corps,
which will be attached exclusively to the Quarter.
Master-Genaral's Department, and to wlrich such an
auxiliary was found to be most effective during the Pe-
ninsular War. The train will consist of 1,000 drivers,
and be officered in a similar mariner to the old Waggon
Train, viz., the corps will be under the command of a
lieutenant-colonel, and ,disided into 10 troops of 100
men each, under the command of a captain and two
lieutenants. The commissariat corps of waggoners, as
the name denotes, will be under the orders of the Com-
missary-General commanding, and will also consist of
1,000 drivers, superintended by an Assistant Commis-
sary-General, with the local rank of lieutenant-colonel.
The corps will be divided into 10 troops of 100 men
each, officered by a captain, two lieutenant., two in-
spectors, and a quartermaster. Two troops, or a squad-
ron, will be attached to each division of the army, the
drivers of each corps will be armed with a 'cavalry car-
bine, i sabre, and revolver, and the uniform is to be a
short blue tunic, without lace or ornament, with the ex-
ception of the officers, who will wear the epaulettes of
their respective ranks. Each„troop will, however, be
distinguishable by different coloured facings, as the blue
troop, red troop, green troop, &c. As each driver will
have the charge of two horses or mules, 4,000 animals
will be required for the service. A large portion of the
force has already proceeded to the seat of war • and, as
a sufficiency of men cannot be obtained from the police,
recruiting parties had been sent, into the agricultural
districts to enlist them. A depot for instructing re-
cruits is to be formed at CroOon, which was formerly
the head-quarters of the Waggon Train.
On Saturday, the Great Britain steamer, the arrival
of which in Queenstown we have noticed, received on
board, by the river steamers, draughts from the follow-
ing
regiments, each draught consisting of 132 men, rank
asd file-17th, 21sf, 30th, 49th, 57th, 62d, and 63d.
Draughts from the following regiments were to embark
on Sunday and Monday :-63d, 68th, 41st, 47th, and
55th. The Great Britain will take altogether 1,500
men, and 140 officers and 15 horses. She is not ex-
pected to sail before Monday.
The screw steam-transport Victory, of Limerick, Rose,
master, from Limerick, in ballast, arrived at Portsmouth
yesterday morning to ship stores and a few troops for
the seat of war. The question was asked on Sunday of
the authorities at Portsmouth, whether the General
Screw Steam Shipping Company's transport Crcesus
could carry two months' coals; from which an opinion
gnt abroad that it was contemplated to send her off to
the Cape forthwith with troops, but we hoard nothing
further yesterday.
The Harbinger steamer is now being laden at Black-
wall, with stores for the sick and wounded at Scutari,
and munitions of war for the Crimea, and will leave in
the course of the weak.

The total number of regular transports taken up by
the Admiralty for the war, and numbered, is 201 ; of
these 15 have been lost, leaving 185 now actively em-
ployed in the service.

MILITARY.
The draughts for the cavalry regiments in the Crimea
and the regiments under orders are directed to be held
in readiness to proceed to the seat of war. It is in-
tended to augment those regiments at present there by
two troops of 80 men each. The following regiments
will be immediately increased in strength—vizt Nth
Dragoon Guards, sth ditto, Ist Royal Dragoons, 2d
North British Dragoons (Scots Greys,) 4th Light Dra-
goons, 6th Enniskillen Dragoons, Bth Husa.v, 11th
ditto, 13th Light Dragoons, and 17th Lancers. The
10th Hussars are to be forthwith augmented to 809
sabre. To effect the Above simultaneouely several horse
transports are to be taken up, in addition to those at
present in the service.
Yesterday, and on Saturday, several more of the
Guards who were wounded at Alma and Inkerman ar-
rived at the hospital ly,rracks of the brigade, Rochester-
row, Westtnimt.r. Some of them had lost a leg, some
an arm, &e., but they were all in good spirit-4, and were
cordially welcomed by their comrades. They were ad-
mitted into the hospitals of the regiments to which they
were attached, in connexion with which, also, in conse-
quence of many more wounded being expected, premises
adjoining have been taken, which have been fitted up as
a temporary hospital. The men spoke highly of the at-
tention paid to them in their voyage home in the
Creesus, by Dr. Riley, the Acting Assistant Staff-Sur-
geon.
