PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge goes out
with the expeditionary force with the brevet rank of
lieutenant general.• The duke will command a division
composed of two brigades—one of the Guards, and the
other of regular infantry.
The magnificent screw-ship Golden Fleece, to convey
the 4th Regiment to the East, will go out of the East
India Docks this day, and proceed to Greehithe to
have her compasses adjusted, preparatory to running
over to Leith to embark her troops. Never will troops
be so well lodged as on board this ship. Being of small
steam power, 300 horse to 2,500 tons, her capacity is
immense, deck after deck is almost clear fore and aft,
and half the regiment could almost be exercised in her
splendid saloon. The hundreds of tons of stores when
deposited are lost in her. This will be her first voyage,
for which she has been prepared with a despatch by
Mare and Co. unparalleled in these times. This ship
could have easily taken a whole regiment of cavalry,
horses, guns, and equipment ; as could her sister ship,
the Jason, now being completed for the company's
service.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 27.

The military preparations for embarking the Ist Bat-
talion of the Scots Fusilier Guards to-morrow are com-
plete. Two officers and 50 men with the camp equip-
ment, baggage, and officers' horses arrived this morning
by railway, and at once embarked on board the screw
troop-frigate Simoom, Capt. Smith, to make the neces-
sary arrangements for the reception of the battalion,
which will arrive by about 10 o'clock. 50 volunteers
from the 35th Foot left this garrison at 6 this morning,
per rail for Preston, to join the 77th there, from Glas-
gow, and embark with them for the East, at Liverpool.
The depot of the 11th Foot is ordered to move from
Winchester to South Wales.

PLYMOUTH, FEB. 27.

The splendid screw steamship Himalaya was yesterday
the object of general interest and attraction. She was
moored about three quarters of a mile from the Citadel
and Hoe. Upon these eminences, the weather being re-
markably fine, hundreds were assembled. Every boat
was put in requisition, and in the afternoon a steam tug
was kept constantly in motion, to enable the more curi-
ous to take a closer inspection. Among the numerous
visitors were—Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, the newly-ap-
pointed Port-Admiral, and Flag-Lieut. Sir Jas. Dunbar.
The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Harry Smith, paid an
official visit in the morning, and inspected the second
battalion of the Rifle brigade and the Sappers and Miners
under Captain Hassard.
The Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Lady Ommanney,
Colonel -Commander Codrington, Captains Gambier,
Lowe, Kingcombe, and a numerous assemblage of ladies
and gentlemen were present at the Victualling-yard to-
day to witness the embarkation of the 93d Regiment,
which was safely convoyed in about two hours to the
Himalaya, in the Sound, by the Confiance, Pike, and
Jasper. As these steam-vessels left, the Highlanders
were loudly cheered by the military on Stonehouse-point,
and by the people who crowded every pusition com-
manding the passage. The Artillerymen on St. Nicholas
Island and the crows of ships joined in bidding the gal-
lant fellows a hearty farewell. The Himalaya will sail
between 11 and 12 o'clock to-morrow morning. A te-
legraphic communication from the Admiralty was re-
ceived yesterday by Commodore-Superintendent Sey-
mour, who went to London by the evening mail train.

SHEERNESS, FEB. 27.
Instructions have been issued by the Admiralty to the
Board of Ordnance to furnish a supply of the Minid-
rifled muskets to the various ships of the Baltic fleet, in
order to render more effective the armament of the
Marines serving on board, and in lieu of the ordinary
muskets now used, which are to be returned into store.
A limited number of the Mini 4 rifles are also to be issued
for the use of the seamen.

The Cressy, SO, screw steam-ship, Captain R. L.
Warren, is completed in her fittings by the dockyard
artisans, who for some time past have been at work on
her until 10 p.m. Her officers and crew, who during
