THE WAR PREPARATIONS.

Yesterday afternoon orders were received at the Tower
for the immediate arming of the 19th Regiment, quar-
tered in that fortress, and under orders for active ser-
vice. Shortly after 6 o'clock last evening a mounted
orderly, of *the 17th Lancers, with a despatch from the
Horse Guards, arrived at full speed, and it was currently
rumoured that he was the bearer of the route ; the pur-
port of the despatch did not, however, transpire, but
the detachments on outpost duty at Kensington and
Deptford have received notice to be in readiness for the
march at a moment's warning.

• PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 11.
Her Majesty's steam-sloop Scourge, 6, is ordered to
be commissioned at this port, 'for the broad pendant of
the second class of Commodore A.dams, to command the
squadron on the coast of Africa.

Her Majesty's steam-frigate Penelope, 16, Captain
Caffin, has received nearly the whole of her crew back
from their leaie and embarked her quota of Marines.
She will be ready for sea in a week, when she will go to
augment the fleet in the Baltic.

The Gladiator, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Captain
Broke, was taken 'out yesterday to Stoke's Bay, for a
trial of her machinery, but some of her starting gear
having become deranged, her speed at the measured mile
was not ascertained.

The steam-vessel Sprightly proceeded from Portsmouth
to Cowes yesterday morning, and shipped the depot of
the let battalion of the Rifle Brigade, whom she landed
at Portsmouth, and they marched to Cumberland Fort.

gLYMORTH, APRIL 11.
The Portland, 50, CaptaiiMa. s, on the Pacific sta-
tion ; the Fox 42, flag-ship of Commodore G. R. Lam-
bert, East India station ; and the Brisk, 14„screw-cor-
vette, Commander Seymour, on the North American
station, have been ordered home, and are expected at
this port. All the stations where there are any of her
Majesty's vessels, will be reduced by 10,000 men.
The Nile, 90, screw, will go out of harbodr to-mor-
row, and on the following day will proceed to the Baltic.
The Algiers, 90, screw, was taken out of Keyha.m
dock into the basin yesterday, and will there test her
machinery. She is expected to be ready for sea about
the 24th May.
The Mary Ann, Mydora, and Exchange, transport-
ships, are ordered to this port from Liverpool, to em-
bark the 11th Hussars. The authorities here have re-
ceived notice that this regiment will be here on Thurs-
day next. The publicans in the neighbourhood have
been informed that they will be required to billet the
soldiers for one night only.

WOOLWICH, APRIL 11.
The Hannibal, 91, screw steam-ship, Captain Hon.
Frederick W. Grey, had her steam up to-day, and on
being assisted out of the basin by the Monkey steam-
tug, at this port, steamed down the river in fine style,
and presented a noble appearance, being very strongly
built, to carry a powerful armament. A number of
bluejackets, who have entered for service in her, and
Captain Henry Varlo, with the Royal Marines selected
for service in the Tiannibal, arrived at Woolwich at
eight o'clock a.m. to-day, and proceeded in her to Sheer-
ness, where she is to be masted, and then proceed to
Chatham, te be docked, and made ready for sea. The
Hannibal will soon be completed, and will form a power-
fuladdition to the Baltic fleet.

Second Master Sallenger proceeded to Deptford to-day
to take charge of the Medina steam-vessel, now out of
the hands of the shipwrights' and to navigate her to
Woolwich, to be made ready for active service.
The Sovereign steamer, hired for the transport of
stores from Deptford to the seat of war in the East,
arrived here to-day to take on board a supply of coals,
and is expected to leave this evening for her destination.
The Caduscus, No. 19 transport ship, arrived at Wool-
wich to-day from Deptford, and was immediately
to embark Brigadier-General Colonel Cator, and the
staff of the Royal Artillery branch of the service, for a
passage to the seat of war in the East. Captain Barker's
reserve battery of the 11th battalion, numbering above
200 men, including the staff officers' servants, emarked
in her at two o'clock p.m., having been played by the
band of the corps from the garrison to the dockyard.
The wives of the non-commissioned officers and men,
seven in number to each battery, embarked at the same
time for Malta. There are no children allowed to pro-
ceed with the Royal Artillery for service in the East.

The Rhadamaahus, paddle-wheel steam troop-ship,
Master-Commander John Belam, completed taking on
board the machinery of the Colossus, 80, at Portsmouth,
and will be taken out of the basin to-morrow and pro-
ceed to Portsmouth, to deliver the machinery, and then
hold on for Devonport to deliver the boilers of the Ex-
mouth, 91, screw steam-ship, building at that port.
Four hundred pensioners are expected to arrive in the
garrison here, to remain in readiness for embarkation,
having volunteered to proceed for service in Turkey ;
and to show the spirit which has animated them to
vo-
lunteer, they assert that, in the event of their being
found unfit to endure the fatigues of the field, they will
be found as able as better men to attend to the sick in
the hospitals, so as to allow the able soldiers to carry
arms with their comrades.

Captain Longden's company, No. 5 of the newly-
formed 13th battalion, and Captain Middleton's, No. 6
company of the 13th battalion, were medically inspected
at the Ordnance hospital at one o'clock p.m. yesterday,
and are placed'under orders to proceed to Shoeburyness,
to make room for a. number of recruits expected to ar-
rive in the garrison for the Royal Artillery.
Forty-two fine young men, recruits, arrived at bead-
quarters here yesterday, from Coleraine, in Ireland.
