THE REINFORCEMENTS.

9TH, 13TH, 14TH, 22n, 25TH, 31sT, 48TH, 51TH, 66TEt
72n, 82n, 91ST, AND 92D REGIMENTS.—The destination
of the 72d lliglanders is Malta, where they will relieve the
9th Regiment, ordered to the Crimea. The Ist battalion
of the 91st Regiment, at Cork, has also been ordered to
Malta, to relieve the 14th, placed under Lord Raglan's
command. The reserve battalion of the 91st is now on its
passage home from the Cape, and, on its arrival in this
country the greater part of its effective men will be sent
out to strengthen the let battalion, which will in all pro-
, 1,,,1,i11y he sent on to ti: ..-: crirar.:l, the remaining Elea
being formed into a depot. With the exception of the
12th Regiment, all the reserved battalions formed some 12
years ago will then be abolished, and the only regiments
having second battalions will be, as of old•—the three regi-
ments of Foot Guards, the let (Royal) Regiment, the 60th
Rifles, and the Rifle Brigade.

The regiments now in garrison in the Mediterranean
and available for the Crimea are the 13th, at Gibraltar ;
31st, at Corfu; 48th, at Corfu; 92d, at Gibraltar. To
these in a few days will be added the 54th and 66th to
Gibraltar, the 72d and 91st to Malta, the 82d and another
regiment to Corfu—probably the 56th, now daily expected
at Dublin, from Bermuda.

The regiments now remaining at hoaie will then be the
51st Light Infantry, now at Manchester ; the 80th, at
Fort George ; and the 94th, at Chatham ; all of whom have
but just returned from a long tour of Indian service, and
are, therefore, numerically weak ; bat the draughts from
the militia and the activity of the recruiting staff will bring
them up to the required strength before many weeks.
The 22d, 25th, 96th, and 98th Regiments have been re-
moved from the Indian establishment, and will arrive
home early in 1855.

The following militia regiments are to be embodied for
immediate service forthwith :—The 4th Lancashire (Royal
Lancashire, Duke of Lancaster's Own Light Infantry), the
Dorsetshire, the Nottinghamshire, the Salopian, the Wor-
cestershire, the Kent Artillery Corps, the Hants Artillery
Corps, the Suffolk Artillery Corps, the Ist Cheshire (Royal
Cheshire), and the Oxfordshire Militia.

Volunteering has been going on at Chatham for the 18th
Regiment, in consequence of another War Office circular,
received from the Horse Guards by the commandant of the
garrison. The following are the numbers volunteered from
each of the depots :—One private from the 10th Foot ;
3 privates, 22d ; 1 corporal, 25th ; 1 drummer, 45th ; 1
lance serjeant, 53d ; 1 private, 70th ; 1 private, 74th ;
1 corporal, 75th ; 1 private, 76th ; 2 privates, 81st ; 3 pii-
Tates, 84th ; 1 corporal and 1 private, 87th; 1 corporal
and 1 private, 96th ; and 1 corporal, 1 drummer, and. 4
privates, 99th—making a total of 1 serjeant, 4 corporalo,
2 drummers, and 18 rank and file. These volunteers joined
the 18th Regiment on Tuesday. Three sergeants, 4 cor-
porals, 7 drummers, and 136 rank and file of the 94th Re'
gimeut, volunteers, also joined the 18th. Thus has the
94th lost both their flank companies by this movement,
and whiich circumstance has much dispirited the cola'
mantling officer, Colonel Milner, who would have liked to
lead his own men.

On Monday evening a large batch of recruits went into
Chatham Barracks from Manchester, the whole of them
being for the 18th Regiment ; there were also two otb,er
batches wont in from tho northern districts, for the Fro'
visional Battalion, to the number of 100 men.

In consequence of a War-office circular, received by the
18th Foot, the volunteering for this regiment is clossid,
and everything connected with this corps is to be madt up
by the Ist of next month. A large number of voluntt:ers
aro to arrive from Manchester, from the 51st King's
Light Infantry.

Though an unusually large number of recruits for 210
different arms of her Majesty's army have been incessai tly
arriving in the metropolis within the past six weeks, from
parts of the country, yet the drain. does not seem to ha Yo
at all exhausted our resources, for each now day fre sh
batches are arriving. Last evening, a large number arriv ed
from Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, by trai ;
and yesterday morning the steamer London, bound • for
Hall, had on board a batch of flue, athletic young too en,
who were en route to York to join the head-quarters of th eir
regiment, the 7th Hussars, now stationed in that fine i )1a
city. We also learn that a large number, amounting t°
over 50, arrived here at noon yesterday from the Soot h'Eastern counties, and were at once transmitted. to Wo, 01-
' with and Chatham.

Yesterday 54 men from the provisional battalion. at
Chatham volunteered for the ambulance corps to be semi t°
the seat of war in the East, and to attend the sick ..na
wounded. They are to be under the entire clireotio• aof
the medical inspector-general. These men are exporiei n
having seen foreign service, and are well adapted fol? the
duties required, and, having characters of steadiness. and
sobriety, they can be trusted to perform all the requi n item
attending the sick.
