WINDSOR, Oet. 24.—The force in garrison here is
600 strong; and is under the command of Major Spitty,
ne colonel-commandant having been appointed since the
death of Viscount Jocelyn, who formed the corps. The
grenadier and light companies of the 18th Royal Irish
share the sheet-street barracks with the Essex Rifles,
and- take part of the duties. This arrangement will con-
tinue f•r about a montb,when the Rifles will be relieved
by the Royal Books (Kink's Ows) Regiment of Militia,
now quartered at Weedon under the command of Col.
Lord Carington. The Bucks Militia will not remain in
Windsor more than a month, and by that time (the
middle of December) the Emperor and Empress of the
French are expected on a visit to her Majesty at Wind-
sor, and it will then become a question whether a batta-
lion of the Guards should occupy the infantry barracks,
or whether the remainder of the 18th Regiment, now
lying at Chatham, should not be transferred to Wind-
sor. This afternoon the Essex Rifles had a grand field
day hi the Great Park.
The additional medical staff for the army in Turkey
has already left the metropolis, to proceed to Constanti-
nople, via Marseilles, where they embark on board the
Vectis to-morrow morning. The totalingp numbereotors.G ea:l:read:coo:
