REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE ARMY.

Her Majesty's Government are making the greatest
exertions to reinforce the army in the Crimea, especially

departing for the East to fill up the strength of the vari-
ous cavalry regiments. On Sunday drafts to the amount
of 950 officers and men sailed from Portsmouth for the
let, 241, and 3d Battalions of the Rifle Brigade, and 4th,
18th, 20th, and 80th Regiments of Foot, for Malta, to
join the depot there, to replace others gc;ng to the
Crimea. Drafts from various infantry regiments to the
number of 129 officers, 38 sericants, 69 drummer, and
1,867 privates are expected in Cork in the course of the
week, to await embarkation for service in the Crimea.
The drafts are to be from the depot battalions of Birr,

TEE DESECRATION OF THE DEAD IN
CAMDEN-TOWN CEMETERY.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of Camden-town
was held last evening, at the National School R3om,
Camden-street, to receive the report of the committee
appointed at a former meeting in reference to the late
desecration of the St. Martin's Cemetery by using a por-
tion of it for building purposes. The attendance was
numerous.
Mr. KING, senior churchwarden, who occupied the
chair, stated what had been done by the committee.
Considerable correspondence had taken place between
the vestry clerk of the parish, the trustees of the ceme-
tery, and the Bishop of London. A letter had been re-
ceived from the secretary of the bishop, stating that in
the absence of his lordship, who is on the continent, the
subject had been attended to, and it was hoped all cause
of complaint had been removed. The trustees bad passed
a resolution to suspend the building operations for 50
feet from the north-west corner of the cemetery—the
spot where the poor of the parish have been interred.
Application had also been made to Sir George Grey,
who had in reply stated that he bad no power to inter-
fere. The committee suggested that a memorial should
be presented to the trustees, requesting them to close
the cemetery in acoordance with their resolution.
Dr. HOPPUS and Mr. DORMAN considered the terms of
the proposed memorial were far too mild. Some stronger
expression of feeling should be given, as it was not the
first time that an attempt had been made for a similar
Durpose.
Mr. BARTLETT suggested that a subscription should
be set on foot for the purpose of taking the necessary
proceedings to prevent a repetition of the late disgrace-,
ful attempt. He moved a resolution to that effect.
Mr. Dew seconded the resolution.
Mr. INOPEN said tha' every exertion was being made
by the vestry clerk to effect the object proposed by Mr.
Bartlett, but owing to the law courts being closed, no
effectual proceedings could be adopted. In order fcr
them to carry on their endeavours with success, it was
necessary some funds should be raised for the purpose.
The resolution was agreed to nom. con., and a trea-
surer appointed to receive subscriptions.
Professor DE MORGAN thought it advisable that the 1
matter should be referred back to the committee, who
would be better able to frame a suitable reply to the
trustees of the cemetery on the terms of their resolution
than the meeting. He therefore moved that such a
course should be adopted.
Dr. HOPPUFS seconded the resolution, which was
agreed to.
A vote of thanks was then given to the committee for
their exertions, and to the chairman, and the proceed.
ings terminated.
