THE WAR.

tioned at Waterford, and the following officers are at-
tached to these companies, viz., Major J. Graham, com-
manding ; Captains W. Boyle (aide-de-camp to Major-
General Macintosh, on the staff of the army in the
lonian Islands), R. B. Hawley, H. R. White, and E.

Limerick gar►ison now comprises only a dismantled
field battery of artillery, a troop of the 16th Lancers,
and two depots, the 40th and 57th.

THE EXPEDITIONARY FORCE.

Most of the chiefs are, by this time, arrived at the
seat of war. The Commander-in-Chief, Lord Raglan, it
appears; left her Majesty's paddle despatch vessel, Lieut.
Commander Derriman, and went on to Constantinople
in the hired screw-ship Emu, leaving on the 26th, having
remained only a few hours at Malta. As we anticipated,
Major-General the Duke of Cambridge has gone by way
of Trieste. He must have crossed over to Corfu in one
of Lloyd's paddle mail steamers, whither the Caradoc
was to proceed from Malta for the purpose of taking his
Royal Highness to Constantinople.
The Earl of Lucan is not a brigadier, as described by
some of the papers, but a major-general. He will be
commander-in-chief of cavalry.
Brigadier the Hon. Yorke Scarlett, in command of
the heavy division of cavalry ; and Brigadier the Earl of
Cardigan, in command of the light division of cavalry
for the East, leave London to-morrow.

The Gladiator, 6, paddlewheel steam-frigate, Captain

It is expected she will be sent to the Baltic.
The Sealark, 8, Lieut. Fenwick, came into Portsmouth

her cruise in search of prizes in the Channel, owing to
the appearance of one or two cases of fever among her
crew.
No. 32 transport arrived at the Motherbank yester-
day from the westward, and anchored.
The Tartarus, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-vessel,
Lieutenant Commander Richard H. Risk, left Sheer-
ness at 6 30 p.m. on Sunday, for the Elbe and Weser.
Lieutenant Marcus E. Smithett (21st June, 1853),
from the Tribune, 31, screw, now in the Baltic, arrived
at the Nore on Saturday evening last, in charge of the
Russian Finland barque Phcenix, taken by the Tribune
on the 12th of April last, off Gothland. The Phcenix,
had on board when taken 70 persons, including her own
officers and crew. The passengers on board consisted of
officers and seamen whose vessels had been sold at
neutral ports ; they were all landed at Copenhagen
except the master. At the time the Phcenix was
preparing to anchor at the Nore, one of the seamen
belonging to the Tribune fell off the main-yard
and broke his thigh bone. The Phoenix, at the
time she was taken, was a slight ship, clean swept,
for the accommodation of the passengers, who, with the
crew, were liberated on the promise that they would not
take up arms against any of the foreign Powers now at
war with Russia. Many of them expressed a desire to
be taken to London and liberated there, as that would
give them a much better chance to enter into the mer-
chant service‘ef neutral or other vessels trading to Aus-
tralia, &c. This request, it appears, the authorities
(under present instructions) could not comply with, and
they were obliged to accept their liberty on the terms
laid down for them by the present Admiralty orders
issued to the commanders in the Baltic.
The crew of the Nile, 91, screw, were exercised at
general quarters yesterday, and the quickness of their
movements was a source of admiration to many of the
port officers. The landsmen and ordinary seamen who
form part of her crew promise well. The Nile is fully
manned. Her armaments consists of 24 32-pounders, 8
feet long, and weighing 42 cwt., on her upper deck ; 28
32-pounders, 9 feet 6 inches long, weighing 56 cwt. ; 6
8-inch, 9 feet, weighing 65 cwt., on the main deck ; and
18 8-inch, weighing 65 cwt., with 14 32-pounders, 9
feet 6 inches, weighing 59 cwt., on her lower deck. Her
entire carriage of stores of every description weighs
2,200 tons. Her draught of water is aft 26 feet, and
forward 24 feet 6 inches, giving an advantage of 1 foot
6 inches in favour of the depth of her screw propeller.
The Miranda, 15 guns, screw steam-ship, Captain
Edmond M. Lyons, has been inspected by Vice-Admiral
the Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness. The entire crew
were put through their various evolutions of great gun
exercise, &c., which they performed in a very satisfactory
manner, The Miranda is under orders to leave for the
Baltic at 9 a.m. to-morrow.

cavalry. Three smaller vessels, engaged by Mr. Cunard
at Liverpool, screw-steamers, that have been employed
in running to Brazils, have been taken up by the Ad-
miralty, and are to be fitted forthwith for the reception
of the horses and men.
