MORE TROOPS ORDERED TO T.HE EAST.

The Creesus, 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 consequent 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, 5S men.
28th Regiment, 46 men.
27th Regiment. 55 men.
From Winchester-7th Regiment, 102 men.
23d Regiment, 102 men.
46th Regiment, 31 men.
71st Regiment, 51 seen.
88th Regiment, 81 men.
From Walmer-19th Regiment, 31 men.
38th Regiment, 102 men.
44th Regiment, 51 men.
From Portsmouth—Rifle brigade, let Battalion, 102
men.
From Plymouth— 34th Regiment, 63 men.
From North Britain, 42d Regiment, 71 men.
93d Regiment., 73 men.
Front Preston—lSth Regiment, 145 men.
Total, 1,164 men.
This includes non-commissioned 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
TEE CRIMEA.

The Monitor de l'Annee publishes the following ex.
tract of a letter, dated before Sebastopol, 19th ult. :

_ -- -
"Lord Raglan came this morning to our head•
quarters. He 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 we 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 in
the trenches from this circumstance, but we have less
casualties, as the smoke of 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."
