THE REINFORCEMENTS.

Major Kelly, four officers, and 140 non-commissioned
officers and privates of the 34th depot, at present in
Plymouth citadel, have been placed under orders to hold
themselves in immediate readiness to proceed to the
Crimea to join the regiment ordered there from Corfu.
This draft will be increased by about 50 volunteers. The
command of the depot of the 34th will devolve on Cap-
tain Bourke. The volunteers from the provisional bat-
talion at Chatham for this regiment were to embark this
day at Gravesend, on board the Dublin steamer for
Plymouth, aid here join the corps.
Orders have been received by the depots of the 17th
Regiment in Kilkenny and the 89th in Waterford to
famish detachments of 200 men each to sail imme-
diately for Gibraltar, and having there joined their
respective regiments, to proceed with them to the
Crimea.

Captain Campbell's company, sth battalion, and
Captain Wragge's company, 6th battalion, of Royal
Artillery, at Woolwich, were inspected yesterday at
the Ordnance Hospital, and have both been placed
under orders to embark for the Crimea, to be employed
as siege gun companies. They are expected to embark
about :the end of the present week, in the Holyrood,
No. 77, screw steam•transport.
Lieht.-Colonel Remington, R.E , of the Kilkenny dis-
trict, is stated to be under orders for the seat of war.
The 54th and 66th Regiments, whi •h have just re-
turned from Canada, are under orders to proceed to
the Mediterranean, to replace two regiments sent up to
reinforce the army in the Crimea.. The 54th will pro-
ceed about the end of the week to Liverpool, and em-
bark on board the Niagara for, we believe, Malta.
These vessels will probably take out the regiments re-
placed by the 54th and 66th.

The regiment of Coldstream Guards, says the Bury
Post, has recently been very active in this town and
neighbourhood in recruiting young and enterprising
lads to raise its ranks to the full complement. The re-
cruiting party stationed here has, we understand, been
signally fortunate, both in number and quality of the
men obtained.

A serjeant and two corporals of the Grenadier Guards
arrived at Windsor ou Tuesday night, to ascertain
what number of men of the Royal Bucks (King's
Own) Militia were ready to volunteer into the
Grenadier Guards, for the purpose of proceeding
to the East, when nearly half the regiment ex-
pressed their readiness to proceed at once. As 25 per
cent., according to the new regulations, is the number of
men allowed to draft from militia regiments for foreign
service, only 150 were permitted by the colonel of the
regiment, Lord Carrington, to go ; consequently, about
30 volunteers left Windsor, by railway, for London, with
the understanding that the requisite number would be
subsequently made up from the detachment at Canter.
bury and those remaining at head-quarters. In June
last the whole of the officers and men stated their readi-
ness to go to the East or any part of the world, when
offerieg their services for permanent embodiment. As
the men left the station they were heartily cheered by
their comrades.

Immediately that the contents of the War-office cir-
cular of Monday became known in Plymouth garrison,
and before it was officially promulgated, 50 men belong-
ing to the West Somerset Regiment of Militia gave in
their names as volunteers for active service in the Ply-
mouth division of Royal Marines ; 50 others are ready
to follow when the necessary arrangements are com-
pleted. About 100 men belonging to the South Devon
Regiment of Militia, stationed at Devenport, will also
join the Marines. This branch of the service is likely to
secure all the volunteers from the two regiment:, partly
because its bead-quarters are at Plyineuth.

the following :—" The English, Scotch, and Irish, all
over the world, are patriotically engaged io collecting
subscriptions for the relief of the widows and orphans of
the sailors, soldiers, and marines who may be killed
in the present war with Russia. Already considerable
sums have been contributed in Canada, and over $5,000
have thus far been collected in this city for this prairie-
worthy purpose. Honour the brave and protect the
widow and orphan."
THE NORTHERN COAL TRADE. —NEWCASTLE-ON-
