THE REINFORCEMENTS.

According to present arrangements the 18th Royal
Irish embark on board the Magdalena steamer, for the
Crimea, to-morrow (Thursday), et Portsmouth.
Tho cavalry regiments on service are to be increased
by remounts each to eight troops of 75 men.
The Royal Artillery have commenced enrolling men
at a height of sft. Gin. at an increase of 21. on the
original bounty of 71. 1.54.

Yesterday afternoon upwards of 180 fine stout young
fellows, volunteers from the militia and recruits, arrived
by railway and steamer, were marched to the principal
recruiting-office, Delahay-street, Westminister, where
they were officially and surgically inspected, and, with-
out a single exception, were found fit for service and
accepted. There are at preset:t no fewer than 27
recruiting parties front infantry and 12 from cavalry
regiments stationed in the metropolis, each of which
obtain a fair proportion of recruits. 300 volunteers from
Dublin are expected to arrive to-day.

Two of the Ordnance hoys were towed from Purfleet
to Woolwich yesterday, each having on board 1,000 of
the usual barrels of Mini 4 rifle ball-cartridges, to be put
on board a steamer loading at the Royal arsenal with
stares and munitions of war for conveyance to the
Crimea.

About 120 tons of ammunition, GO tons of shells, a
quantity of horse hammocks, halters, squad bags, &c.,
arrived at Southampton yesterday, for immediate de-
spatch to the Crimea, chiefly by the Magdalena.

The Bahiana steamer, just arrived with the mails from
Brazil, has been taken to convey troops to the Crimea.
The Crcesus, 2,500 tons, daily expected at Southampton
with mails from Australia, has also been chartered, and
she will be despatched immediately on her arrival with
troops to the Crimea. j

Yesterday morning, so very numerous were the ap-
plicants for service in her Majesty's ships fitting out
and in commission, that police constables were stationed
at the doors of the naval rendezvous, Tower-hill, to pre-
vent the over-crowding of the reception room. A large
number of fine athletic young men were entered for
general service, and will be sent to her Majesty's ship
Excellent at Portsmouth, and Fisgard, at Woolwich,
for instruction.

About 100 volunteers from the Militia into the line
passed through Southampton yesterday. They belonged
to an English Militia regiment in Dublin, and they had
volunteered into the 7th Regiment, stationed at Win-
chester. All the men had a very warm large scarf, with
which they were supplied for their passage in the Dublin
steamer to Southampton.

A. further number of volunteers from the Monmouth
Militia, 75 in number, together with Lieutenant Peirse,
have volunteered for active service with the 23d Fusiliers
in the Crimea, and have joined the depot previously to
proceeding to head-quarters at Balaklava.
390 men have volunteered from the Militia stationed
in Ireland, and have been attested at the Dublin Police-
court.

The inhabitants of Bristol have petitioned the Home-
office to be allowed to form a volunteer rifle corps, and a
similar desire exists in Sheffield.

Orders have been issued for the Militia regiments now
doing garrison duty, who have given volunteers to the
line, to send recruiting parties into their respective coun-
ties to enrol volunteers.

ROYAL CORNWALL RANGERS.—We understand that
the Royal Cornwall Rangers Militia is amongst the re-
giments which are about to be embodied in consequence
of the war with Russia.

THE WEST ESSEX MILITIA.—The members of the
West Essex Militia Staff, stationed at Chelmsford, have
received an intimation to hold themselves in readiness,
as the regiment will probably be embodied for permanent
duty.—lpswich, Express.

CowEs.—Further detachments from the depot bat-
talion at Parkhurst have embarked here since our last,
for conveyance to the Crimea. The men were animated
by the greatest enthusiasm, which Hems to show how
little is known of Englishmen by those who say we are
not a military nation.—Portsrnouth, Gazette.

THE NEW ARTILLERY BARRACKS AT Irswicia.—This
depot is intended to afford accommodation for the regi-
ment of Suffolk Artillery, which will assemble on the
14th inst. We understand that the arrangements, un-
der the superintendence of Mr. It. M. Phipson, archi-
tect, will be ready by the time named for the reception
of the regiment with its stores, guns, &c.—Tpswick
Express.

BARROW'S FOR THE CRIMEA.-Mr. John Sutton, tim-
ber dealer, Chester-road, Derby, has received orders
from Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey, to make an
unlimited supply of " Navvy barrows" for the Crimea.
The instructions are to forward as many as possible up
to Saturday, the 9th—the order extending over one week
—so that they may be ready for shipment on Tuesday
next.

WAR MOVEMENTS IN LIVERPOOL. —The splendid
fast•sailing paddle-steam-ship Arabia, Captain Judkins,
sailed on Monday night, about seven o'clock, for the
seat of war. She carried out several packages of
flannels, stockings, and such like comforts, for the use
of our soldiery ; these have been contributed by the pa-
triotic liberality of a few private individuals, and afford
an example worthy of imitation. Several of these pack-
ages, we understand, were consigned to the care and dis-
posal of Sir Colin Campbell. The Arabia proceeds direct
to Dublin, where she will take in ammunition and stores,
and, after a few hours' delay, she will sail for Marseilles,
when there to embark French troops for the
Crimea. The South American Company's new screw
steamer Imperatrice, 1,800 tons, Captain Cox, is ex-
pected to be ready by the end of next week to proceed
to Cork, to embark a regiment for Sebastopol. A
rumour has prevailed that the Philadelphia Company's
steamer City of Manchester, Captain Wylie, had been
taken up for the transport service ; but at present there
is no foundation for the repo' t. Recruiting for both ser-
♦ices is going on briskly in town. The 2d Royal Lan-
cashire Militia Regiment is to be embodied immediately,
and will assemble at head-quarters, Waterhouse-lane,
Everton, next week: A second vessel, the Lady Jane,
of 400 tons, belonging to Messrs. Fernie Brothers, is
being loaded here with hay, for the cavalry in the Crimea.
—Liverpool Standard.
A IlEao.—We rend in the Salut Public of Lyons :
"There is now here a sergeant-major of the Zouaves, who
was in the battle of lukerman where he received three
wounds while fighting like a lion. At one moment he
was surrounded by seven or eight Russians ; he de-
spatched five of them and then fell with three lance
wounds in his body and lay for dead. Fortunately he
was found after the battle, and from the attention he has
met with he is now in a complete state of convalescence.
He had been before decorated with the miltary medal ;
he has now received the cross of the Legion of Honour,
and eaters with his present rank into the Imperial
Guard."

THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.—In consequence of an ap-
plication made by M. Th. Barbey, the extensive ship
owner of Havre, to the Minister of War, 40 of the Rus-
sian prisoners taken at Bomarsund, who are ship car-
penters, have been allowed to leave Aix to be employed
in the yards of M. Lefoulon at Honfleur, and M. Gui-
bert at Nantes, where vessels are now building for the
above house. By a singular coincidence, the first vessel
they will work on at Honfieur is to be called the Alma.
