t?REPARATIONS FOR WAR

Gallipoli appears to be the point on the Turkish coast which
has been selected for the landing both of the French and
British 'contingents. As will be seen on reference to the map,
it is very conveniently situated for that purpose. It can be
easily defended against any land attack, and troops stationed
there .conhl with great facility be marched to Adrianople, or
embarked on the Sea of Marmora and landed at any part of
the Black Sea coast where their presence might be required.
The regiments belonging to the expeditionary army still in
England will now, of course, proceed direct to Gallipoli, with-
out stopping at Malta.
The Moniteur has the following paragraph :
"The English Government has just given orders to the
English troops assembled at Malta to depart for Gallipoli.
The French Government sent 4,000 men there a few days
since, and they probably arrived on the 27th. Vessels having
on board 15,000 men have, within these few days, sailed from
the coasts of France and Algeria. Other vessels will be des-
patched immediately with the rest of the army, which, to the
number of more than 50,000 men, will be assembled in Tur-
key by the commencement of May.
" The Minister of War has taken such steps as will enable
this army to be increased as circumstances may require."
It is said that Sir D. L. Evans will command the 5,000
men destined for a " special service."
The entry of landsmen; between 19 and 24 years of ago,
standing sft. Gin. in height, for service in the navy, is resumed.
Yesterday the Admiralty gave notice at Lloyd's that tran-
sports were required for the conveyande of 113 pieces of ord-
nance to Constantinople, the guns weighing 342 tons: Up-
wards of 59 tons of anchors anclrehain cable, for. the use of
the Black Sea fleet, are to be transmitted at the same time.
The Admiralty are also about to employ a considerable num-
ber of screw-steamers for particular service, of between four
and six hundred tons. These vessels are to be hired for four
months certain:
Her Majesty's ship jannlijripagt#llll/0r C. A. Kane; new
fitting at Woolwich, is ordered on particular service, and in-
structions were yesterday received at the Royal Rendezvous,
Tower-hill, to use every exertion to complete her required
number of blue jackets.

Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Garvock, 31st Regiment, who
has lately returned from the lonian Islands on private leave,
is to be appointed to the staff of the expeditionary force.
This excellent officer has had great experience in such duties.
In 1845, on the outbreak of the Sptlej campaign, he was
appointed brigade-major to Sir Harry Smith's division, and
took a very active part in the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshab,
Buddiwal, Aliwal, and Sobraon. In the last engagement he
was shot through the leg, and it is a curious fact that the heal-
ing of the wound baffled all medical skill for several months
till it was discovered that the bullet had carried in along with
it the piece of cloth where the ball struck, which produced
continual suppuration, and prevented-all recovery. In con-
sequence of the great satisfaction he gave to the hero of Ali-
wal, he was invited to become his private secretary on his
appointment to the'Governorship of the Cape, and conducted
himself with such conspicuous gallantry in the action of
Boem Platts in 1848, that Sir Harry Smith, in writing home,
asked as a personal favour that some mark of honour might
be conferred upon his valuable and indefatigable secretary and
aide-de-camp. He was made Lieut.-Colonel in the army, and
remained with his.chief during the Kafir war till his return
to England. To have given such continued and increasing
satisfaction to Sir Harry is a circumstance beyond all praise.
INSPECTION OF THE IST ROYALS.—This fine regiment was in-
spected on Tuesday on the Hoe, Plymouth, by Major-General
Sir Harry Smith, G.C.8., the commander-in-chief of the
western district, who was attended by his aide-de-camp and
other officers. The men went through all the usual evolu-
tions, under the command of Major Montgomery. After
having been thus actively engaged for about three-quarters of
an hour, the general said a few inspiriting words to the men :

—" I shall see you again before you embark," said he ; " but
this I tell you—you are ready for the Russians, or any other
enemy. We will have another day. Be ready for anything.
Charge fifty times as you have to-day ! That is what we
call • fighting, except the shooting part ; no pipeclay day."
The gallant general then turned round, and seeing one of the
sentinels ,ordering the people back, ho exclaimed, " Do let
the men alone 1 it, they are our countrymen—they are
the fellows we are fightingc, for." The people around received
this hearty outburst of English feeling with a tremendous
cheer, which was again and again renewed while Sir Harry
rode off the ground.

The Cumberland, 72, sailing-ship, bearing the flag of Ad-
miral Sir George Seymour, commander-in-chief of the North
American station, is expected at Spithead daily. It is re-
ported in this dockyard that her crew will be turned over to
the St. Vincent, 105, now being fitted out as ordinary guard-
ship, but which, it .is confidently expected, will be sent up
the Baltic, and that the Nelson, 120, will be brought forward
as guard-ship in the •St. Vincent's place. With about 200
newly-raised men, the St. Vincent would be most efficiently
manned by the Cumberland's crew. Several additional lieu-
tenants having been appointed to the Vestal, 26, now the
largest ship on that station, it is expected that she will hoist
the flag of Bear-Admiral Arthur Fanshawe, ou his taking the
command of the North America and West Indies station, as to Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour.

DUBLIN, MARCH 30,
The 14th Regiment, now stationed in Limerick, embark in
the Bombay, for Malta ; the 17th, in the Cornwall and Dun-
bar; the 39th, iu the Star of the South and Courier; and the
89th, in the Timandra and Gosoloza, for Gibraltar, to replace

Captain Sebaw, Lieutenants Brown, Bissett, and Barnston ;
Ensigns. Tayler, Birch, Roxby, Harkness, and Twysdeu, and
Assistant-Surgeon Crocker, with 200 men. Lieutenants
England and Hannay are on their passage home from head-
quarters at Gibraltar, to join the recruiting companies.
Yesterday, about oue o'clock, a section of the Royal Ar,
tillery, consisting of 105 men and three officers, embarked at
the North-wall for Portsmouth in the City of Dublin Com-
pany's steam-ship Duke of Cornwall. Soon after the sailing
of this ship the Prince steamer arrived from Liverpool, having
ou board 11Erinen atrd two officers of the Royal Artillery, all
of whom proceeded to the Portobello Barracks. No less than
40 sergeants, corporals, &c., have been told off to recruit in
Dublin for this corps. The Prince steamer, after having
landed the soldiers of the Artillery, returned to Liverpool
last evening, at half-past nine o'clock, having on board 60
of the soldiers' wives who had recently embarked for the
East.

Volunteers from the different regiments not ordered for
immediate service continue to arrive in large numbers daily
from the country.

A squadron of the' 16th Lancers will leave Island-bridge
Barracks at half-past 8 o'clock this morning (Thursday);
one troop for Limerick, under the comnand of Captain White;
and one troop for Clonmel, under the command of Captain
Grant, there to be stationed. It is expected that the whole
regiment will shortly proceed to the south.
The 90th (Perthshire) Light Infantry, at present forming
part of Dublin garrison, having been called upon to furnish
50 volunteers for the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, 140
men, who spontaneously came forward to respond to the call,
paraded at Ship-street Barracks en Tuesday morning, for the
inspection of Major Deverill, who addressed them in terms of
tu 'measured satisfaction at their loyalty and devotedness.
Fifty fine fellows were selected this afternoon, and will pro-
coed to join their new corps immediately.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, Trrunspay,

By the United States' mail steam-ship Arctic, Captain
Luce, we have advices from New York to the 18th inst.
The Royal mail steam-ship Arabia, had arrived out.
A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald
utys

"A special messenger left here in the cars this after-
! loon at 5 o'clock, and sails in the steamer for Liverpool
so-morrow, the bearer of despatches to Mr. Soule at
Madrid. It is understood our Government perempto-
rily demands immediate satisfaction of the Spanish Go-
vernment for the Black Warrior outrage. It is a signi-
ficant fact worthy of mention that Mr. Crampton, the
British Minister, has acted as Minister for the Spanish
Government so far, relieving the Spanish acting Charge
of all trouble."
The Senate had passed a bill to promote the efficiency
of the army.
A mob at Erie had again torn up the railway. A
fugitive slave ease had occasioned much excitement at
*.Milwaukie. A fugitiVe negro who had been captured
iby his owners was rescued by the mob and got clear
saway. 'The boilers of the steamer Reindeer, trading on
the Ohio, had exploded, killing upwards of 40 persons.
!The ice on the Hudson had given way, and the naviga-
qion was open. 50 persons had lost their lives by the
:sinking of the steamer J. L. Avery in the Mississippi
:river. About the same number of persons had been lost
;by the burning of a steamer on the White River.
In New York capital was rapidly accumulating from
foreign and domestic sources, but the demand more than
.kept pace with the supply. Foreign exchange was dull.
There was a fair supply, and the demand was limited.
The quotation were :-:--London, 1071 to 10SZ, ; Paris,
.5131 to 516 f ; Amsterdam, 41?, to 411 ; Hamburg, 36
!to 37; Bremen, 79 to 79i ; Frankfort, 412. Money
'continued in active demand on call loans, at 7 to 8 per
,cent. Prime business paper, short, 9to 10.
The cotton market had been animated, and prices had
advanced.

The advices per Arabia had caused much depression
in the flour market. For pig iron there was a limited
sale at firm prices. The tobacco market was firm, but
quiet. Freights to Europe were dull ;to London—tur-
pentine and rosin, 2801 b., ss. ; heavy goods, 50s.

CANADA.

QUEBEC, March 11.—The Government have defini-
tively engaged for the service of Parliament a new
building, in course of erection, or rather of completion,
:for the Sisters of Charity, a religious body of nuns,
-whose objects and devotion to their self-assumed and ar-
duous duties are most useful and praiseworthy. A
school, hospital, and chapel, with numerous apartments
;for the accommodation of the sisters, are comprised in
,this building, affording ample space and good accommo-
dation for the sittings of both Chambers, for the library,
the numerous clerks, and writers of the establishment.
The style of architecture is Gothic, the building of stone
and very massive, the whole structure forming a very
bold, various, and beautiful architectural ornament to
the city. Through the good-will of the Roman Ca-
tholic archbishop and ecclesiastical confreres this advan-
tage has been obtained to the country, not, however,
forgetting the readiness of the sisters to comply with
the wish expressed to them. The rent of the building
is fixed at 1,0001. currency per annum, and it will be
ready for Mr. Speaker to take the chair in the course of
a couple of months. The judges and lawyers, who sub-
mitted with a good outward grace but much inward re-
luctance to the parliamentary writ of ejectment from
their dingy court-house, are much rejoiced at the re-
covery of their familiar walls. The new building stands '
about 5Q yards down the slope of a hill which becomes
steep and abrupt as it progresses, and just outside St.
John's Gate. In the chapel the sittings of the Assem-
bly will be held, and this room is said to have a decided
family resemblance to your St. Stephen's Chapel, wherein
the parliamentary gatherings of the mother country have
been used in times gone by to be held. The resemblance
may perhaps stop here ; but if it be said that our people
do not talk as well nor as much to the purpose as yours
do, we may at least stand upon our wind, and safely
affirm that if we do not talk better, we certainly can
talk longer than you do.
In stating in my last that 1,500 miles of railway were
in progress in this country, I underrated the extent by
one-third. There are 2,000 miles in progress. The
Great Western Railway, from Niagara Suspension-bridge
to Windsor, facine. Detroit, on the St. Clair River, a
distance over 20emiles, was completed and came into
operation on the let of January last. I perceive by the
western papers that the passengers by the train exceed
500 per diem both ways, making the passenger traffic
1,000 daily. It is even now scarcely possible to carry
the freight offered. All this travel is to or from the
Atlantic sea-board. When the Grand Trunk Railway
shall be completed from its western terminus to Port-
land on the Atlantic, covering a distance of 900 miles,
which may be traversed without transhipment in less
than 30 hours, the amount of traffic, if at the rate just
named, will exceed all the calculations yet made upon it.
The opening of the Grand Trunk will take place, it is
believed, early in the spring of 1850.. -
With reference to our direct steam navigation from
Liverpool to Quebec, and in winter to Portland, you are
aware that a series of disasters and disappointments have
nullified the contract entered into by the Canadian Go--
verninent with some estimable gentlemen in Liverpool
the year before last. These gentlemen made promises
and came under obligations, in perfect good faith, no
doubt, to establish a line of first-rate steamers for the
accommodation of the travellers, the merchants, and emi-
grants passing to and fro, and transmitting goods be-
tween the two countries. The want of regularity, infe-
riority of the vessels, accidents at sea, long passages, and
sometimes no passages, in painful contrast with every
other line between the two hemispheres, has certainly
broken down the hopes of all concerned on this side the
water, as it has worked the forfeiture of the contract,
if the Government should think fit to terminate the
connection. It would be difficult to restore confidence
in such a quarter ; and this is the less to be regretted •
because the native resources of the commercial men of
Canada are about to fill our waters with vessels of supe-
rior build, speed, and safety, with which few, if any,
others in the world may compete. In the present sea- •
son of navigation a Canadian firm of eminence, and in
connection with capitalists and practical men at home,
will place on the Quebec and Liverpool route three iron
screw steamers of 2,000 tons burden, travelling at an
average speed of 12 knots an hour. By the opening of
this navigation in 1855 these three vessels will be joined
by two others of equal or superior pretensions. The
Government, thus finding that every week a reliable
vessel will leave these sores for England, will be
enabled, without any contract or monopoly, to send
their mails at a price which will sufficiently remunerate
the carriers and answer all the ends of the senders.
We have no news yet from your side of any encounter
between the flags of France and England and the Rus-
sians ; but our people are talking of offering a Canadian-
built frigate, fully armed and equipped for the service of
the present war, to the mother country.
The home military authorities, I understand; are about'
to erect batteries on the island of Orleans, the better to
command the approach by the river to Quebec.
The weather his moderated within the last few days,
but we have ten feet of snow in and about the (AV.—
