The soldiers of the several Highland regiments sta-
tioned in Ireland appear one and all to have made up
their minds to abandon the dull routine of home duty
for the changes and chances of a campaigning life. A
draught of 100 picked men from'the depot companies of

seat of war.
On Saturday a communication was received by Cap-
tain Greaves, staff officer .of pensioners in Galway,

on the army.
Within the past week orders have, it is understood,
been sent from head-quarters, directing the instant re-
inforcement of the fortifications of Cork Harbour. Cam-
den and Carlisle forts and Haulbowline island are to be
immediately inspected, and the fortifications, where
necessary, augmented, so as to place Cork Harbour on
a footing with the most strongly fortified naval stations
in the world. The stores of Haulbowline are to be im-
mediately stocked with abundance of forage for horses,
for which purpose notices have been issued, calling for
tenders for the supply of 900 quarters of oats to be
delivered at Haulbowline within a week.

had arrived in Cork, have been sold to Liverpool firms,
the owners being apprehensive of losing their property
in consequence of the war between this country and
Russia.

At the Royal William Victualling Yard, Plymouth,
12 ovens for baking bread are now at work by day,
and eight by night. Labourers in the yard have the
choice of going to the bakehouse, and strangers are
employed as labourers.
The Wild Wave, with her cargo of bread and ruin, is
appointed to sail to-day for Constantinople, and it is ex-
pected that she will make a very short passage.
The arrangements fur the embarkation of troops from
Southampton are as follows :—The 23d Fusiliers will
arrive there this morning to embark by the Trent ; the
7th will reach on Wednesday to embark by the Orinoco.
The ships will anchor in the stream during the night of
embarkation, and proceed to sea on the following morn-
ings, thus allowing time for the troops to settle comfort-
ably into quarters before commencing their voyage.
