THE 46TH REGIMENT.

A letter from Dr. Vaughan Hughes, of the Prince
transport, which took out the 46th Regiment, says :
" The Prince experienced a heavy gale in the Bay of
Biscay, and another in the Levant, which obliged her
to anchor in the Bay of Carysto, in the south of Negro-
pont, from the 31st ult. to the 3d inst. She arrived at
Constantinople on the sth at 7 a.m. On the previous
day," says the letter, " Colonel Garrett presenteil on
deck to his regiment (the 46th) the new colours which
are to repine, the old, these having lasted a period of
18 years, and now quite iu rags and covered with mil-
dew. Ho delivered a very affecting address, which was
teceived by officers and men with tremendous cheering,"

ACCOUNTS FROM THE CRIMEA.
We have been favoured with an extract from the
letter of a medical officer on board the Queen of the
South, which sailed from Portsmouth for the Crimea,
on the 27th ult., having on board draughts for various
regiments, and, amone, others, for the Guards, under the
command of Lord Adolphus Vane, M.P., Mr. Ponsonby,
M.P., and other officers. TA letter states that the
Queen of the South arrived at Malta on the 9th instant
—all well.

We are sorry to learn, by accounts from the Crimea,
that Major Nasmyth (of Siliatria renown) is ill, and
Unable to attend the duties of his new appointment--
aide-de-camp to Sir John Burgoyne. Sir De Lacy
Evans was on board the Simootn, laid up from diarrhoea
and the effects of a fall from his horse. The three
wounded captains of the 17th Lancers, Norris, White,
and Webb, have arrived at the hospital at Scutari.
Captain Webb had his leg amputated. Sir William
Gordon, of the 17th, bad also arrived, as well as Capt.
Maude, of the Royal Artillery ; Captains Elmsall and
Campbell, and Cornet Hartopp, of the Royal Dragoons ;
Captain Brown, of the 44th ; Cornet the Hon. G. Ne-
ville, of the sth Dragoon Guards ; Lieutenant Clutter-
buck, of the Bth, and Lieutenants Trevelyan and Hough-
ton, of the 11th Hussars. Lieutenant Houghton was
bet slightly wounded. Brevet Major Coats, 55th, and
Vandeleur Breedon, Byrne, and Marten, had also ar-
rived sick.

DEPARTURE OF STEAMERS FOR TOULON.
The Oriental Company's steamier Ripon left South-
ampton yesterday morning for Toulon to take French
troops to Sebastopol. The Esk left the same port in
the course of the day for Portsmouth and the Crimea,
with forage and biscuit. Within six days six steamers
have been despatched from Southampton for the pur-
pose of carrying troops, provisions, and ammunition to
the Allied forces at Balaklava, viz., the Manilla, Candia,
Rajah, Thames, Ripon, and the Esk. Some of these
ships have been despatched at two or three days' notice.
So urgent was it for the steamers to leave ferToulon that
the Oriental Company's steamer the Candia could not
wait for some of her stores, and had to take those on
board the West India Company's steamer Thames, be-
cause the latter wasnot ready to start for a day afterwards.
All the steamers which have left Southampton for
Toulon have had stalls fitted up on board of them for 10
or 12 horses. It is ;expected that the Indus which left
Southampton for Alexandria with a mail, on the 4th
inst., will be stopped at Malta, and made to carry on
a regiment of English soldiers to the Black Sea. Per-
emptory orders were received at Southampton for the
Esk to start immediately for Clarence-yard to take out
about seventy tons of hay and a large quantity of bis-
cuit. A private letter has been received at Southampton
from the seat of war, which states that reinforcements
are much wanted there on account of the hard work to
which every fighting man is subjected in labouring in
the trenches. The Indiana, which is now about to
start for Toulon, has been fitted up according to a plan
designed by Mr. Croskey, the American consul, for the
conveyance of a large number of passengers to America.
This plan is found well adapted to convey a very large
number of troops. The Euglisit mail packets, it is ex-
pected, will each make a couple of trips from Toulon to
Balaklava with French soldiers.

We are gratified to be able to state that there is no
truth in the report circulated by a cotemporary that
Major DeSails, Bth Husars, was seriously wounded at
the battle of Balaklava. Major DeSalis's horse was
seriously hurt, but he escaped uninjured,
THE WAR AND THE RECRUITING SERYIOE.—Never,
during the last sixteen years, has recruiting been RO
active in Leeds as at the present time. We have now
in Leeds recruiting parties from various regiments of
horse, foot, artillery, and two regiments of militia, viz.,
the 2d and 3d West York. As soon as hostilities actu-
ally commenced, there was a visible increase in the
number of recruits ; and this increase has became greater
week by week. Since the invasion of the Crimea the
war spirit amongst the young men of the district has
been roused to an unprecedented height ; and it is quite
surprising to witness the large number of recruits that
are daily attested before the sitting magistrates at the
court-house.
CORK CITY MILITIA.—Ou Wednesday there was con-
siderable activity in town, enrolling volunteers for the
Cork City Militia, and a large number was admitted.
The bounty is Gl. per man. Rendevous have been estab-
lished at Castle-street, George's-street, and other parts
of the city, and it is confidently expected that a con-
siderable further number of volunteers will in the course
of the next few days be added.—Cork Constitution..
