the Isle of Wight, selected as invalids from the depots of
regiments serving at the seat of war, arrived at Fort Pitt,
the majority of the min being, from length of service and
constitutions, unfit for active duty. They consist of the
7th, 6th, 15th, 3d, 4th, and 16th Regiments. A detach-
ment of the 69th Foot, from Perth, also arrived at the in-
valid depot. The undermentioned medical officers at
Chatham are under orders to proceed immediately to Ports-
mouth, to embark with detachments for Turkey, viz.,
Staff Assistant-Surgeon Mackey and Staff Assistant-Sur-
geon Alder. Quartermaster-Serjeant James Nolan, 36th
Regiment, died on Monday night at Chatham, after a short
illness,
time
leaving a wife and six children. He had just sent
and servitude, upwards of twenty-one years, for a
pension,
and to retire from the service. Four prisoners
were tried on Tuesday at Chatham garrison, by district
eourt-martial, fdr desertion and drunkenness.. They were
found guilty. Sentence deferred, until the proceedings
are confirmed by the Horse Guards.
salmons% Nov. 15.—Fifty fine young men of the
Royal Artillery, trained in garrison here, 25 of Captain
cannon's, and. 25 of Captain Cleveland's company, have
taken their departure (volunteers) for the seat of war in
the East. Such is the desire to volunteer that the officers
have a difficulty in acquiescing with the continual appli-
cations. All the newly-raised men seem to vie with each
other to get proficient in their exercise, so as to qualify
themselves to be proper candidates for the post of honour.

an order from the Ilene Guards to inspect the cavalry
horses of the 16th Lancers in the Limerick district, and

racks, for the purpose of having a last jollification, none
were absent at their post in the morning. The three trans-
ports sailed on Saturday evouing.—Cork Examiner.
