THE REINFORCEMENTS.

It was stated some time since that six additional regi-
ments of the line were to be sent to the Crimea, to be
formed into the fifth infantry division of the army. These,
regiments were the 34th and 71st from Corfu, the 68th
rom Gallipoli, the 62d from Malta, the 97th from Athens,
and the 90th Light Infantry from Dublin. It was also
stated that this force was to be increased by the 17th and
89th Regiments from Gibraltar ; and further, that some
mere regiments from the Mediterranean would be also
despatched to the seat of war. The regiments alluded
to are the 9th and 14th at Malta, and the 39th at Gibral
tar. To these will be added the 18th (Royal Irish) Regi-
ment, which returned from Burmah some three months
since, and which is now doing duty in London.
The 14th Regiment is very strong and in admirable
condition ; the 9th has also been lately reinforced, while
the 17th, 39th, and 89th will be shortly materially
strengthened by drafts ordered to embark from the de-
pots at Waterford, Kilkenny, and Cork. The.lBth are,
like all regiments for some time after their return front
long Indian service, somewhat deficient in numbers, but
doubtless the provisional battalion and other sources will
before long fill up the ranks of the Royal Irish.

These six regiments will Le formed into the sixth in-
fantry division of the army under Lord Raglan.

On Saturday orders came down from the Horse Guards
to the head-quarters of the 18th Regiment, at Chatham,
to prepare for embarkation to the seat of war in the
East. The corps is to be made up to 1,400 men. To
complete this strength, the regiment will require about
600 men ; consequently, they are open for volunteers.
Application has been made to Colonel Milner, 94th,
at Brompton Barracks, to allow his corps to volunteer.
The regiment was called out yesterday on parade in the
Artillery Barracks, when it was announced to the regi-
ment that the 18th wanted volunteers.
About 130 men turned out from the ranks, for that
corps ; and 2 sergeants and 8 men from the provi-
sional battalion have also volunteered. The recruiting
parties, to the number of 13, are to be called in imme•
diately, and those men, to the number of 60, en furlough
are to join head-quarters without delay ; and the detach-
ment at Hythe, where they are learning the practice of
the Minh rifle, are to rejoin at Chatham as soon as pos-
sible.
The detachment from Windsor and the detachment
which left on Friday for Wellington Barracks are to
return, and join the head-quarters. It is reported that
the regiment will be off in a few days. The hour of em-
barkation is hourly looked for. The sudden removal of
the corps has created some excitement in the barracks.

Thirty-seven men of the Royal Sappers and Miners,
recruits, arrived on Saturday afternoon at the engineer
establishment at Chatham, from Woolwich, to go through
a course of engineering and field-work instruction.

On Sunday morning the City of Dublin Company's
steamer the Albert, Captain Triphook, commander, al.•

on board a detachment of the 56th Regiment, consisting
of seven officers and 134 rank and file. Early as the
hour was when the troops disembarked and proceeded
en their marh to the Itiyat*ra:cks, they were re-
ceived on landing by a large assemblage of the
people, and loudly cheered as they passed along the
quays. This detachment is under orders for immediate
embarkation for active service in the Crimea. The
Sylph, screw-steamer, arrived also on Sunday evening
at the North-wall from London, having on board 100
recruits. This corps of fine young men were marched
to Beggar's-bush Barracks, whence they will be des•
patched to reinforce the different regiments at present
on service at the seat of war.

The 72d Highlanders, which arrived at Limerick
from North America a few days ago, are under orders for
