THE WAR.

NAVAL AID MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
According to present arrangements the following
ships of war proceed to Cherbourg to convey the French
troops to the Baltic, viz., the Royal William, 120, Wa-
terloo, 120, St. Vincent, 102, Hannibal, 91, Algiers,
94 Powerful, 84, Calcutta, 84. and Formidable, 84.
Yesterday the Russian prize Union, taken by her
Majesty's cruisers off Gothland, arrived off Gravesend
in charge of Mr. Hancock.
Yesterday intelligence was received at Lloyd's that
the Hannah Maria, taken by her Majesty's ship Daunt-
less, had arrived off Orfordness from the Baltic.
The Dauntless, 33 guns, Captain Alfred P. Ryder,
slipped from her moorings in Sheerness harbour yes-
terday at 8.30 a.m., and proceeded for the Baltic.
The following officers left the Waterloo by the Daunt-
less yesterday :—Lieutenant the Hon. F, Fitzmaurice,
for the Bulldog ; Lieutenant J. L. Perry, for the Duke
of Wellington ; the Rev. J. J. Ballione, chaplain to the
Leopard ; Captain of Marines Robert Harrison, to the
imperieuse, vice Stransham, promoted.
Shipwrights and joiners from Sheerness yard are
busily engaged in fitting the Hannibal, 91, in a most
convenient manner for the reception of French troops.
Her lower gun-deck is to be entirely appropriated to
their use, and convenient temporary battened store-
rooms are being fitted up in the after cockpit and where-
ever space will adroit for the stowage of arms, baggage,
&c. She is to be quite ready to leave by Saturday next.
She is still short of able seamen. She has taken in a
full supply of coals. Her present crew are on every op-
portunity put to great gun, musket, and cutlass drill,
and make very great progress. Her landsmen and or-
dinary seamen, although not fully up to their work at
present, bid fair, under the instructions and discipline of
their officers, to be able in a short time to do their duty
well.

The Formidable, 84 guns, Captain Superintendent
John J. Tucker at present in command, is ordered to
be rigged all ataunt with all possible despatch, and to
be fitted to receive troops like the Hannibal. A gang
of 40 riggers commenced yesterday morning on her,
under the superintendence of Mr. Jonathan Aylen,
master-attendant, and by this evening she will be fully
rigged with all her running gear rove ready for bending
sails. She will be ready for going out of Sheerness
basin by the present spring tides. The marines and
seamen of this ship are busily employed in forwarding
her outfit, under the directions of Commander Josiah
Thompson. She also proceeds to Cherbourg to em-
bark French troops for the Baltic.
Captain the Hon. Frederick W. Gray will hoist his
commodore's broad pendant in command of the Chan-
nel squadron now fitting out as an auxiliary squadron
of reserve.
The Royal Albert is being forwarded in her equip-
ment by her seamen, dranghted from the Waterloo, and
marines, the latter proving themselves most useful.
Mr. George M. Lang, Paymaster, took up his com-
mission to the Devonshire, third rate, receiving ship for
joined.
Commander prisoners of war, yesterday, and has
Commander Vincent A. Massingberd (23d of Dec.,
1842) took np his commission at Sheerness yesterday
to the Neptune, 120, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Corry
in the Baltic. Commander Massingberd is from Gos-
port, where he has served as Inspecting-Commander of
the Coast Guard since the 15th of January, 1852 ; he is
now borne as a supernumerary on board the Waterloo
flag-ship, waiting a passage by the Hannibal, 91.
The Algiers, 91, Captain Charles Talbot, arrived at
the Great More at 7.50 a.m. yesterday from Devonnort,
and at 5.30 p.m. proceeded under steam power,• into
harbour.
The following appointments and promotions have been
made :
Captain Hon. Frederick William Grey (1828), at
present commanding the Hannibal, 91, screw steam-ship
at Sheerness, is promoted to be Commodore of the 2d
class, and re-appointed to command the Hannibal, for
service with the Baltic fleet.
Paymasters.—William Drury (1842), from the Hogue,
60, screw steam-ship, serving in the Baltic, to the Cal-
cutta, 84, at Devonpart ; William H. Reeves (1844),
from the Eurya.lus, 51, screw steam-frigate to the Hogue,
vice Drury ; George Ramadan (1816), to the Euryalus,
vice Reeves.
Clerk in Charge John Mumford (1848), from the Fis-
gard flag-ship at Woolwich, to the Jackal steam-vessel,
at Woolwich.
Clerk John M. Jefferson (Paymaster of 1854), to the
Fisgard, vice Mumford.
The Camperdown hired transport has been ordered
round to Queenstown to embark the head-quarters, band,
and colours of the Ist division of the 12th Foot for Mel-
bourne.
The Flora transport has been taken up for the convey-
ance of detachments of the 77th and 26th Regiments of
Foot to Quebec. They will embark at Cork.
The Syra hired transport has been ordered round to
Plymouth to embark provisions and stores for the Black
Sea.

Captain Smythe's company, 6th battalion of Royal
Artillery, arrived in Woolwich garrison on Saturday
last, from Limerick.
Captain Oldfield's company, 4th battalion, joined the
camp on Woolwich-common on Saturday last.
Captain Elliott's company disembarked on Sunday
morning at the Royal Arsenal, having been brought
round from Devonport in one of the Dublin steamers to
join head-quarters at Woolwich.
Captain Marriott's company, 3d battalion, embarked
at Roff's-wharf, Woolwich, on Monday, at 6 a.m., for
Shoeburyness to relieve Major Young's company, 12th
battalion, and the latter company arrived in the garri-
son in the afternoon, where they are to go through a
course of repository instruction previous to proceeding
on foreign service.
One lieutenant, three non-commissioned officers, one
farrier, and 25 gunners left Woolwich on Tuesday morn-
ing for London to take charge of 50 horses brought from
Scotland by one of the Leith steamers, and bring them
to Woolwich for service in the field batteries.
The head-quarters, Land, and two companies of the
94th Regiment have arrived from the East Indies. They
landed at Gravesend, proceeded by the North Kent Rail-
way to Strood, and marched thence to St. Mary's Case-
mate barracks, Chatham.
The 21st and 63d Regiments being both placed under
orders for war service, the garrison of Dublin will be
shortly reduced to one regiment of infantry (the 90th)
and one of cavalry (the Sri Dragoon Guards). Under
such circumstances, and if it be intended to keep the
spacious barracks in that city from falling into ruins, it
is probable that the question of draughting some of the
English militia to do duty in Ireland will again force
itself upon the notice of the authorities at the Horse
Guards.
The 35th Regiment of Foot, Colonel Frazer, under
orders for India, will all embark this month from Graves-
end, the first division forthwith, the second on the 14th
instant, and the third on the 31st instant.

THE MILITIA.
The Devon Militia Artillery have been reviewed and
discharged, after 28 days' training and exercise at Devon-
port. The men number between 300 and 400, and are
draughted out of the let Devon and South Devon Regi-
ments of Militia.

The 4th West York Militia will assemble this (Wed-
nesday) morning for training at the cavalry barracks,
Leeds, the 34th having proceeded to Plymouth to make
room for them. The Halifax squadron of the regiment
has been engaged in ball practice for the last few days,
and prizes have been awarded to the best marksmen.
A volunteer Rifle corps for the county of Middlesex is
in course of formation. The regiment will be known as
"The Victoria Rifles." Mr. W. T. Pritchard, of Doc-
tors'-commons, has accepted the office of honorary secre-
tary to the corps.
The following address was delivered by Lady Marian
Alford, on presenting the new colours to the Royal
South Lincoln Militia, in B:lton-park, on Wednesday
last :—" Gentlemen of the South Lincoln Militia,—
Your gallant colonel has intrusted to my hand the honour
of presenting to you the new colours for your regiment.
May their now spotless folds never be stained but by
summer showers, nor faded but by sunshine, and may
they long float like the rainbow—a guarantee of peace in
the land. But should an enemy venture on our shores,
and should You be called upon to fight for your hearths
and your homes, lam sure, from the spirit you have
shown, that, led by your allan t colonel, you will follow
your colours with loyal
enthusiasm and bring them back
with honour. I now present then; to you with the ear-
nest prayer that Heaven
'n
in war." may protect them in peace or
