TIIE REINFORCEMENTS.

It was stated some time since that six additional regi-
ments of the line were to be sent to the Crimea, to be
formed into the fifth infantry division of the army. These
regiments were the 34th and 71st from Corfu, the 68th
rom Gallipoli, the 62d from Malta, the 97th from Athens,
and the 90th Light Infantry from Dublis. It was also
stated that this force was to be increased by the 17th and
89th Regiments from Gibraltar ; and further, that some
mere regiments from the Mediterranean would be also
despatched to the seat of war. The regiments alluded
to are the 9th and 14th at Malta, and the 39th at Gibral
tar. To these will be added the 18th (Royal Irish) Regi-
ment, which returned from Burmah some three months
since, and *ch is now doing duty in London.
The 14th Regiment is very strong and in admirable
condition ; the 9th has also been lately reinforced, while
the 17th, 39th, and 89th will be shortly materially
strengthened by drafts ordered to embark from the de-
pots at Waterford, Kilkenny, and Cork. The 18th are,
like all regiments for some time after their return from
loug Indian service, somewhat deficient in numbers, but
doubtless the provisional battalion and other sources will
Ibefore long fill up the ranks of the Royal Irish.

These six regiments will be formed into the sixth in.
Pantry division of the army under Lord Raglan.

On Saturday orders came down from the Horse Guards
to the bead-quarters of the 18th Regiment, at Chatham,
to prepare for embarkation to the seat of war in the
East. The corps is to be made up to 1,400 men. To
complete this strength, the regiment will require about
600 men ; consequsetly, they are open for volunteers.
Application has been made to Colonel Milner, 94th,
at Brompton Barracks, to allow his corps to volunteer.
The regiment was called out yesterday on parade in the
Artillery Barracks, when it was announced to the regi-
ment that the 18th wanted volunteers.

About 130 met turned out from the ranks, for that
corps ; and 2 sergeants and 8 met from the provi-
sional battalion have also ♦olinteered. The recruiting
parties, to the number of 13, are to be called in imme•
diately, and those men, to the number of GO, en furlough
aro to join head-quarters without delay ; and the detach-
ment at Hytho, where they are learning the practice of
the Mini 6 rifle, are to rejoin at Chatham as soon as pos-
sible.
The detachment from Windsor and the detachment
which left on Friday for Wellington Barracks are to
return, and join the head-quarters. It is reported that
the regiment will be off in a few days. The hour of em-
barkation is hourly looked for. The sudden removal of
the corps has cieated some excitement in the barracks.

en their marh to the Royal barracks, they were re-
ceived on landing by a large assemblage of the
people, and loudly cheered as they passed along the
quays. This detachment is under orders for immediate
embarkation for active service in the Crimea. The
Sylph, screw-steamer, arrived also on Sunday evening
at the North-wall from London, having on board 100
