DUBLIN, MARCH 4.
The 46th Regiment, at present stationed in Kilkenny,
has been placed under orders for service in the East. On
Wednesday last a communication was received by the
commanding-officer of the 46th applying for 15 volun-
teers from that corps for the 33d, then on the point of
embarking for the seat of war. Immediately upon its
transpiring that volunteers were required the orderly-
room was beset by crowds of applicants for the honour
of joining the Eastern expedition, and the most enthusi-
astic eagerness for the much-coveted position of forming
one of the 15 was manifested almost universally by the
privates of this gallant corps. Fifteen fine young fel-
lows were selected from the crowd of applicants, and a
few hours afterwards they were inspected by Colonel
Williams, K.H., and proceeded to Dublin by rail,
taking their departure amid the warm cheering of their
former comrades.
The head-quarters of the 27th Regiment will leave
Enniskillen for Dublin on the 6th, and may be expected
to arrive here on the 9th.
