MILITARY.

Captain Broughton's company, 2d battalion of Royal
Artillery, at Woolwich, have been placed under orders
to hold themselves in readiness to embark for Malta to
do duty there in place of a company sent on to the
Crimea, and when further reinforcements of artillery
are sent to Malta they will proceed to the seat of war,
in the event of their services being required.
Accounts received yesterday morning from Limerick
state that orders had been received there by the 16th
Lancers and the 72d Highlanders to hold themselves in
instant readiness for war service in the Crimea. Both
regiments are in admirable condition for sharing in the
honours of the campaign.
The depot of the 17th Regiment which was under
orders for the north of Ireland is to remain for the pre-
sent in Kilkenny, where recruiting for the regiment is
said to be extremely brisk. It is supposed that the 56th
Regiment, now on passage home, will be stationed in
Dublin on their arrival, instead of Kilkenny, as originally
intended.

MILITARY RECRUITING IN EDINBURGH.—Efforts are
being made by the 82d Regiment, in garrison ate Edi-
nburgh, to raise the number of the corps to 1.000
men, its strength being at present considerably below
that standard, from the numerous volunteers it has
given to regiments in the East. Their exertions,
however, have not met with adequate success, chiefly
from the abundance of employment. It is expected
that the enrolment of the militia will give such an
impetus to the military spirit of the people as will spee-
dily manifest itself in numerous volunteers to the line.
HOSPITAL FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS.—The Naval Hos-
pital at Great Yarmouth, recently fitted up for the re-
ception of sick and wounded from the Baltic, is about to
be prepared for the reception of 350 sufferers from the
Black Sea. The building has been thoroughly cleansed
and refitted, and the vessels conveying the first detack-
ment of its future patients are expected to arrive shortly.
Lieut.-Colonel John Leslie Dennis, 94th, president,
with other officers forming a district court-martial, assem-
bled yesterday at Chatham, for the trial of William Gib-
bons, serjeant 86th Regiment, who was tried for absent-
ing himself from his duty, he being at the time the com-
mandant's orderly (Colonel Eden) ; he was also found
absent when the roll call was made at tattoo. He was
found guilty ; sentence deferred until the proceedings
have been confirmed at the Hor3e Guards.l
THE IST DRAGOON GUARDS.—This fine body of men,
who are at present stationed at Piershill Barracks, are
under orders for the East, in company with the 2d, 3d,
and 7th Dragoon Guards.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
NEWRY AND BELFAST.—Orders have been received at
the head-quarters of the 3d and 62d Regiments, at Newry
and Belfast, to hold in readiness all men who are fit for
service in the field, to proceed to join the service com-
panies, which are ordered from Malta to the East.
Ensign Thomas Millsom, at present in command of a
detachment at Carrickfergus, has been ordered to hold
himself in readiness to proceed to Malta, to act as adju-
tant with the service companies.
