ASSISTANT ENGINEERS.

Notico has been given, that a number of assistant-engi-
neers will shortly be required to enter the R iyal Navy,
and every encouragement will be given to young men
qualified for that service, who may enter at Woolwich,
from the factory or from private establishments.

FALUOUTIT, Nov. 16. —Her Majesty's frigate Meander,
Captain Tiaillie, bound for Lisbon, put in here yesterday
afternoon, owing to contrary winds.

MILITARY.
The number of recruits to her Majesty's land forces
since the increase of the 'ootinty has considerably aug-
mented, and 100 is about the average daily attested in
the London district alone.
Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, Chief Clerk of the Ord-
nance, visited Woolwich Arsenal yesterday, and went
over several of the departments with the authorities.
In every department the greatest activity prevails, and
immense supplies of the munitions of war are received,
and, on being made ready, are forwarded to the seat of
war with the least possible delay.
DUBLIN, Nov. 16.—MajorsGeneral Cochrane, corn-
=lndio, the garrison, yesterday made an inspection 01
the 90th'Light Infantry, in the Royal Barracks, accom-
panied by Lieutenant-Colonel M‘Murdo, Assistant Ad-
jutant-General of the Dublin District, and Lieutenant-
Colonel Mylius, Town-Major of Dublin, when the ser-
vice and depot companies were formed, and the usual
formulae of inspection, &c., gone through. The only
officers remaining with the depot companies (proceeding
this day to the Linen-hall Barracks) are—Capt. Grove,
commanding ; Captains Vaughan, Bastard (selling out),
Tinlin, and Close (on promotion) ; Lieutenant Denison,
to rejoin from the West India staff; and Ensigns Raitt
and Sir Charles Pigott. Colour-Sergeant Filmer will
he acting sergeant-major of the depot. The regiment is
positively to sail on Saturday next, from Kingstown.
Lieutenant-Colonel Eld has resumed the command, and
will proceed with the regiment, with Brevet LieMenant-
Colonel Deyerill and Major Campbell. No women are
allowed to embark, instructions having been received
yesterday from the Horse Guards to that effect. We
cannot allow the opportunity afforded by this announce-
ment to pass without some expression, however inade-
quate, of the good feeling generally entertained in
Dublin for the 90th Regiment. For the two years
and upwards during which this corps has been
stationed here, their conduct, men and officers,
has been such as to recommend them strongly to the re-
spect and affection of the inhabitants. Perfect order,
propriety of manner, generous sentiment, and a total
absence of brawling and of offences against military dis-
cipline, have distinguished the 90th in Dublin ; and
proceeding now in the service of their Queen and
country to take part in one of the bloodiest wars ever
engaged in, they leave behind them here no other feel-
ing than one of high admiration, and are accompanied
by no ether wish than that they may find laurels worthy
of their bravery and high character. Messrs. Pim,
Brothers, and Co., have furnished the following articles
to the above regiment :—About 2,000 pair of socks ;
2,000 woollen shirts; 2,000 woollen drawers; 2,000
pair of woollen gloves, and 1,000 pair of mits.---Daily
Express.
GALWAY, Nov. 15.—Recruiting is being vigorously
carried on here at present, no less than 25 aspirants to
military honours having been enlisted within the last
week or ten days by recruiting sergeants of the 40th
depot, stationed here. Martial ardour, however, is not
the chief stimulant, for, owing to the nearly total cessa-
tion of public works, many have been compelled to take
this step through necessity.
CLossmEts Nov. 15.—We understand that the troops
at present stationed in this garrison are under orders to
proceed to the Crimea, and that Captain Grant's com-
pany of the 16th Lancers will forthwith join head-
quarters prior to embarkation for the seat of war. It is
rumoured that the barracks will be occupied by a de-
tachment of some of the English militia regiments at
resent quartered in thss country.
