The Marley Hall screw steam-transport arrived at
Woolwich yesterday, and is receiving a cargo of shot
and shell for the Crimea. The Sydney Hall has like-
wise arrived there, and is embarking heavy mortars for
the same destination.

The Antelope steam-transport, D. L. Reid, com-
mander, has completed her freight. of 900 tons, in mor-
tars, shot, shell, huts, warm clothing, and medical stores.
She was this morning unmoored from the bed of the
river, and shifted her position, so as to go down to
Greenhitbe by next tide.
Yesterday the marshes adjoining the Royal Arsenal
at Woolwich were closed to the public, in consequence
of a further trial being given to Phillips' fire annihilators.
A wooden shed had been previously erected, and filled
with shavings and other combustible articles, for the
purpose of the experiment. About 3 p.m. Col. Eardley
Wilmot and Capt. Vandeleur, of the proof department,
with Mr. Abel, of the chemical laboratory in the Royal
Arsenal, assembled to witness the experiment. The
match was applied, and the fire allowed to gain some
force, when one of the engines was brought forward to
test its efficiency ; it failed, however, of the desired re-
sult. Twelve of the machines were brought into action,
yet the fire was only partially subdued, to break forth
anew, and the experiment proved the invention thus far
a failure.

The following appointments were made yesterday at
the Adm;ratty :
Mr. John R. Ryan, Second Master, to the Blood-
hound ; Mr. Charles Bockett, Assistant-Surgeon, to the
ilava,nnah.

Yesterday morning, shortly after 10 o'clock, the
neighbourhood of the South-Western Railway, in the
Waterloo-road, was the scene of great excitement,
in consequence of the arrival of the detachment
of Coldstream Guards lately quartered at Alder-
shott-camp. A great number of persons accompanied
the soldiers on their march to St. George's Barracks,
as it was supposed, by the majority of the crowd,
that they were to depart immediately for the Crimea. At
half past 1 the same excitement was occasioned by the
arrival of the Scots Fusiliers from the same place. The
quarters vacated by the Coldstreams and Scots Fusi-
liers will be occupied by two battalions of the Grenadier
Guards, who left London at about 20 minutes to 2.

The 94th Regiment, under the command of Col. Den-
nis, which has been doing duty at Windsor since Christ-
mas last, received orders yesterday morning to proceed
to Gibraltar. Two companies, under the command of
Capt. Bruce, leave to-morrow morning for Portsmouth,
whence they will immediately embark with portions of
other regiments going to Gibraltar. On Friday the head-
quarters, consisting of six companies and the band, alto-
gether about 700 men, leave Windsor for Portsmouth,
and thence will immediately embark on board the ship
Perseverance for the same destination. Col. Dennis goes

out with the regiment, and will take his lady and her
female servant, the only women allowed to accompany
the regiment. The 94th will remain at Gibraltar about
two months, and then proceed to the seat of war. A
depot of 250 of the men who have recently enlisted, and
who have not yet learnt their discipline] will be left at
Windsor under the command of Major Buller. On
Nlonday a minute inspection of the regiment by Colonel
Forester, Deputy Adjutant-General, took place in Sbeet-
street Barracks. It is but justice to state that since the
regiment has been at Windsor it has gained the good
opinion of the inhabitants, by the gentlemanly
demeanour of the officers and orderly conduct of the
men ; and, as a proof of the good understand-
ing which existed between this regiment and the
