THE WAR.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
The Terming, which sailed on Sunday from Portsmouth
with 23 Dragoons of the 6th Enniskillens and 56 horses,
takes up at Malta the 33 men saved from the Europa ; so
that in 10 days the regiment will be in the East, complete
in every detail, notwithstanding the recent melancholy
disaster. She also had 130 men to reinforce the Rifle Bat-
talion. It is intended to complete to 1,000 rank and file
the six regiments forming the lst division, under the com-
mand of the Duke of Cambridge. The regiments of Gene-
ral Sir De Lacy Evans's division will also be made up to
the same strength, and before the end of next week an ad-
dition of 3,700 bayonets will have been made to the in-
fantry force in the East, the 25 battalions thus muster-
ing upwards of 25,000 rank and file, and the entire army
consisting of 30,000 effectives.
Draughts from the first battalion of the Coldstream
Guards, the second battalion of the Grenadier Guards,
and the third battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards,
numbering 16 officers, 284 non-commissioned officers and
men, and eight horses, and draughts from the 42nd, 79th,
93d, and 95th depots, embarked at Portsmouth yesterday
on board her Majesty's steam troop transport Vulcan,
Commander Von Donop, for conveyance to the seat of
war in the East. The Vulcan will leave for Varna this
day. The volunteers of the Guards thus going out to join
the service battalions of their regiments were mustered in
light marching order at 4 o'clock on the Parade-ground of
St. George's Barracks, Trafalgar-square. Colonel Reeves,
of the Grenadiers, who is in command, inspected them
shortly afterwards, and before giving the order to march
addressed to them some spirited observations, which they
received with loud cheers. At 5 o'clock they left the
barracks, headed by the band of the Grenadiers, and ac-
companied to the South-Western station by crowds of
civilians, who bade them a hearty and sympathetic fare-
well.

Advices were received yesterday at the Admiralty, un-
der date Memel, June 23, that another prize, called the
Nyverdale, Giezin master, bound from Dundee, in ballast,
had been captured by her Majesty's steamer Cruiser, at-
tempting to break the blockade of Riga, and brought into
Memel in charge of a prize crew ; also, that the Jonge
Albert, Vanderzee master, laden with timber and hemp,
for Holland, and the Jeannie Marie, Halle master, with
rye and hemp, for Holland, had been taken prizes by her
Majesty's cruisers into Faro sound.
Commander Frederick P. Warren has been superseded,
and Commander William G. Luard. (September 29, 1850)
has taken the command of the Star, 8-gun sloop, at Sheer-
ness. The Star remains in harbour in consequence of the
strong winds. Mr. John C. Barlow, Master of the Formi-
dable, has not been able to swing her for the adjustment of
her compasses. Several seamen who have run from her
have, in confidence, left with their old shipmates addresses
where a letter will find them, stating that, if there should
be a new commander appointed, they will immediately re
turn and share the fate of their old shipmates. Mr. John
M. Sweatman, Paymaster, yesterday joined this sloop,
Mr. Herbert Johnston having been superseded at his own
request, and obtained another ship.
The Commodore's broad pendant was hoisted on board
the Hannibal, 90 guns' new screw steam-ship, Captain the
Hon.. Frederick W. Grey, at Sheerness, on Monday, the
Port-Admiral being on short leave of absence. The Han-
nibal is taking in powder, shell, &c. All leave of absence
to officers and men is stopped, no officer being permitted
to 'be absent from his ship at night from and after Sunday
last, on which day the seamen were exercised at their
quarters immediately after being mustered. Further va-
cancies are frequently occurring by men "running" when
‘apportunity has offered. Some have most mysteriously dis-
appeared, and have not since been heard of. It is reported
that many of the newly-raised men were not worth keep-
ing ; and if the present Admiralty regulations of the ser-
vice would admit of it, a considerable number of them
would receive leave to go on shore " to wash their clothes."
The crew of the Wolverine, 12-gun sloop, Commander
John Corbett, are to be paid their advance on the 29th
inst. She is now waiting for her compasses being adjusted
by swinging ship.
Mr. J. Dinnen' superintendent of steam machinery
afloat, and Mr. G. Blaxland, superintendent civil engineer
at Sheerness Dockyard, early yesterday morning pro-
ceeded on board the Dauntless, 33. gun steam-frigate, Cap-
tain Alfred P. Ryder, officially to surveythe defects in her
machinery, boilers, &c. The future movements of this
ship will depend on the report of these gentlemen when
forwarded to the Surveyor of the Navy.
The 'Powerful, 81, Captain Mansell, left the basin at
Portralouth yesterday afternoon, and has received her
cress', and is otherwise finishing her outfit for sea in har-
bow:.
The Lords of the Admiralty yesterday gave notice at
Lloyd's that more transports wore required to convey 70
tons of ordnance stores to Gibraltar, and 25 tons to Corfu;
also for the conveyance of 110 tons of naval provisions,
and. 204 tons of ordnance stores to Hong Kong, and 16 tons
Of -ordnance stores to Auckland, New Zealand.
The Lords of the Admiralty yesterday issued orders for j
tlae sale by auction of the whole of the salt taken on board
the Russian prizes Aina Nyland, late master • Aland,
Wevern, late master ; and ' Livonia, Matzkait, late mas-
ter. There is altogether about 1,350 tons, which it is ex-
pected will realise upwards of 4,000/.
The Kangaroo, hired steam transport, which was to
have embarked troops at Portsmouth yesterday, was found
to be quite unfit for their reception on a careful survey
being made of her by the dockyard officers. She had no
coals on board until those shipped on Monday, and her
water tanks were all filled with salt water as ballast.
Workmen were busily employed upon her yesterday to set
her to rights, but she will not be ready for service before
to-morrow (Thursday).
The screw steamer Persian, 599 tons register, Captain
Graves, which left London on Saturday with 110 miles of
submarine cable for Genoa, put back to Falmouth on
Tuesday morning, and to Plymouth on Tuesday evening,
her cargo in the main hold having shifted when nearly
abreast, of Ushant during a heavy gale from W.S.W.
It is expected that a further withdrawal of the coin-
Panics of Royal Artillery serving in Canada will take
placf, this season, and that several of the companies in
t, out districts of the home stations will be ordered to
