stantinople Aug. 28, Malta Sept. 9, and Gibraltar, Sept.

Tigris from Portsmouth to Constantinople ; at the same

spoke the schooner Marchioness, from Cadiz for London,
off Cape Trafalgar ; on the 26th, off Cape St. Vincent,
spoke the Lady M‘Naghten, No. 36 transport, for Spit-
head. The Edwin Fox has brought 149 invalids from
51 different regiments, 1 woman, 1 deserter, from the
24th, Regiment, found on board one of her Majesty's
ships, 1 civil servant, and 1 convict, sentenced by Court-
martial to 14 years' transportation for attempting to de-
sert from the 12th Lancers to the Russian outposts
before Sebastopol.
The General Screw Company's steam-ship Queen of the
South, Captain Beal, transport No. 135, will sail from
Southampton to-day for Plymouth, where she will em-
bark 100 men of the Land Transport Corps and about 35
tons of stores for the Crimea. The Queen of the South
has taken on board at Southampton about 800 tons'
measurement of wooden huts, 30 tons weight of shell,
and the following officers :—Lieut.-Colonel Hon. R.
Dalzell, Major Studdart, Transprt Corps ; Captains
T. Budd, F. G. Saunders, C. F. Mackenzie, Transport
Corns ; Lieutenants Irby, 90th Regiment ; Maclean,
13th Dragoons ; Cordon, 19th Regiment ; Lieut.-Col.
Daubenny, 55th Regiment ; Captain Higham, 17th
Foot ; Rev. A. Macquire, Roman Catholic chaplain,
&c. 107 men of the Medical Staff Corps will also em-
bark at Southampton.
The Killingworth screw-transport, 607 tons register,
and 120-horse power, has put to sea from Greenhithe
with military stores from the East. The Scamander,
having discharged her shot and shell, went up yesterday
from Woolwich to reload at Deptford.

Five Lieutenants of the Royal Artillery force at Wool-
wich—namely, Lieutenants Cavendish, Miller, Noeman,
Parsons, and Phipps—with 100 men from different
battalions, and 20 gunners and drivers, with some
smiths, wheelers, and collar-makers, are ordered to hold
themselves in readiness to embark for service in the
Crimea.

Lieutenant and Adjutant Lempriere, of the Royal
Sappers and Miners, has returned to head-quarters at
Woolwich, from a short stay at Leicester, whence he has
received a number of volunteers for that corps. In con-
sequence of the augmentation of that body of her Ma-
jesty's service, the barrack accommodation there has be-
come inadequate to the increasing demand ; a number
of huts have consequently been built at Chatham
to house 500 of the men, and many more men are under
canvass in the drill-ground—a confined space at the back
of the hospital at Woolwich.
Among the passengers who returned from the Crimea,
by the Indiana, on Monday, was Lieutenant-Colonel
Francis Seymour, Scots Fusilier Guards, who was
severely wounded in the trenches on the night of the
24th of August. This officer has served throughout the
whole of the campaign with his regiment, has been pre-
sent in every action, and was wounded at the battle of
Inkerman.

Major-General Lord Cardigan, Inspector-General of
Cavalry, arrived in Dublin on Saturday evening. On
Monday he inspected the 2d Dragoon Guards at the
Royal Barracks, and on Tuesday the 16th Lancers at
Portobello Barracks. The gallant General rode the
horse which bore him at the celebrated charge at Bala-
klava" Lord Cardigan expressed his entire satisfaction
at the admirable condition of these two fine cavalry re-
giments.

The commanding officer of the Royal Engineers and
other authorities of the Ordnance Department in Ireland
have just entered into an extensive contract with Mr.
Conolly, of Dublin, for the complete drainage of the
camp on the Curragh. Several gangs of skilful workmen
have been already engaged for the work.
Captain Taddy, for some time in command of the
Royal Artillery in the Kilkenny Military District, bas
received the appointment of instructor at the Royal Re-
pository, Woolwich. Lieutenant-Colonel Buchannan,
R.A., will replace Captain Taddy in Kilkenny, Lieu•
tenant-Colonel Rowan, who was to have taken the com-
mand of the Artillery there, having been appointed
second in command at Woolwich.
The Land Transport Corps raised by Capt. Hudson for
the camp at the Curragh marched from Dublin on Tues-
day morning. The men comprising the corps are volun-
teers from the Dublin Militia Artillery. The horses have
been transferred from the Royal Artillery and 2d and 3d
Dragoon Guards.
