THE REINFORCEMENTS.

Yesterday, at eight a.m., six divisions of the 18th
regiment (Royal Irish) assembled on the general parade
ground of Chatham Barracks, under command of Major
Wigston, numbering 300 duty men. The muster of the
regiment was in consequence of a telegraphic despatch
having arrived at the headquarters, from the Horse.
Guards, on Thursday afternoon, requiring the troops for
duty at the palace, &c., and to occupy Wellington Bar-
racks. The troops were inspected, previous to taking
their departure, by the colonel, Thomas S. Rignolds,
C.B. The following officers went with them :—Capts.
Lawrie, Hayman, and Kelly; Lieuts. Wood, Stacpoole,
and Taylor; Ensigns Woolsey and Wigston.
Major A. W. Campbell, who is now at Windsor with
a detachment, is to take the command of the 18th in the
barracks, Bird-cage-walk, London.
This morning they mounted guard at Buckingham
Palace. A large Lumber of persons also collected at the
Horse Guards to witness them relieving the Grenadiers
doing duty there.

Yesterday was a day of great activity at Woolwich.
Long before the dawn of the morning Captain Camp-
bell's company, sth battalion Royal Artillery, assembled
in marching order, and, headed by the band of the re-
giment, marched at six o'clock a.m. from the garrison to
the Dockyard station of the North Kent Railway Sta-
tion, and proceeded thence to London en route to Liver-
pool, where the comp any is to embark in the Niagara
for the seat of war in the East. The band returned to
the garrison, and at seven o'clock played Capt. Wragge's
company, 6th battalion, to the Arsenal station of the
same railway, and' they proceeded thence to London,
en route to Southampton, where they are to embark in
the Tamar for a passage to the Crimea.
Major Crofton's company, 7th battalion, expects to
leave Woolvici this n torning, or on Monday, for the
seat of war. These seven companies now on their way
to the East will afford a glorious relief to their hitherto
hard-worked comrades, now before Sebastopol, as the
seven companies contain a total of 1,050 officers, non-
commissioned officers, and gunners, all practically ac-
quainted with the duties of artillerymen, and the effi-
cient working of the largest siege guns.
Six other companies were yesterday placed under
orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark on
the shortest notice for the seat of war, and eight com-
panies more are ordered from the home stations to re-
turn to head-quarters, to► prepare for active service in
the Crimea.

Captain King, Royal :Engineers, with the company of
Royal Sappers and Misters under his command, left
their barracks at eight a,m, yesterday for the Arsenal
station, headed by the brass band, and proceeded to
London, en route to Portsmouth, where they are to em-
bark in the Royal Albert for the Crimea.

Fifty gunners and drivers arrived at Sheerness to re-
inforce the garrison yesterday from Woolwich. The re-
cruiting party, wider Captain Cannon, of the Royal
Artillery, here have, di taring the present month, suc-
ceeded in procuring a nu' nber of fine young men for the
regiment. We are sorry to state that small-pox of a
virulent nature has brokcn out in the military hospital
here ; there has been one death, and ten men are at pre-
sent under treatment in bspital, several of whom are
in a very precarious state.. Every necessary precaution
to prevent the spread of this dreadful disease is being
taken by the Colonel-Con tu tandant, Capt. Cannon, &c.

Soven of the senior engi n eer officers at Chatham are
under orders for the servi, re of their corps. The second
company of the Royal Sal ppers and Miners, commanded
by Captain Frederick Will iarit King, R.N., have received
orders to prepare for sary ice in the Crimea.

Yesterday morning the, 'reserve battalion of the 71st
Highlanders, numbering about 500 rank and file, left
the Canterbury barracks an d proceeded to Portsmouth,
where they aro to embark for the East. They were
loudly cheered as they pas sed through the streets on
their road to the railway sti ‘tion.

in the Royal barge, and was put on board the Royal
Albert, under a royal salute and manned yards. Capt.
Sir Thomas Pasley, Bart., received his illustrious visi-
tor, and presented the principal officers, after which the
Prince was conducted " round the ship," with the noble
proportions of which, and the comfortable and ample
accommodation provided for the troops his Royal High-
ness expressed his sincere pleasure. After partaking of
refreshments with Sir Thomas Pasley, the Prince left to
re-embark in the Fairy, wishing his gallant entertainer
and his truly royal ship God speed ; another salute
thundered from her sides, her crew sprang up the
shrouds and into the tops, the troops crowded her hul
warks, and one hearty roar of cheers greeted his Royal
Highness as he quitted her side on his return. The
train left Gosport with the Prince about four o'clock.
At 2.45 and 3.30 respectively the trains conveying the
Sappers and Miners and the 71st arrived from their re-

Perna MANUFACTI73B.—A. paper tnanufaoturing com-
pany has been established in Western India, with respect
to which the Bombay Telegraph, after alluding to a re-
cent meeting of the shareholders, says—" A. gentleman
of considerable chemical attainments is to be engaged
for the purpose of tenting the pulp-producing properties
of both the aloe and the plantain tree ; and we learn that
Government has taken a warm interest in the enterprise,
and will most probably grant a site for the works either
at Citified] or Tanna. There can be no doubt as to the
ultimate realisation of this scheme. The projectors are
all men of capital and enterprise, and we believe the
majority of the shareholders look rather to the certainty
of prospective but permanent gains than to the fluctua-
tions of speculative gambling.'
