the guard mounting parade, and marched at three o'clock
this afternoon, preceded by the band playing the usual
parting airs, to the Royal Arsenal ; from whence they
were conveyed in boats to the Numa transport-ship,
anchored in the river, for a passage to Barbadoes, to re-
live Captain IT, Morgan's company at that station.
Major Kendall being in America on a particular service
the command devolves upon Second Captain Mee, who,
with Lieutenants Ellis and Mackie, accompanies the
company, and embarked at the same time in the Numa
transport-ship, Captain Morgan's company proceeded
to Barbadoes on -Elie 28th of December, 1834, and con-
sequently have been seven years on that station. Major
Kendall's company appeared fine young men, mostly re-
cruits, and were in excellent spirits. Captain Mee, pre-
vious to their embarkation, read the regulations they
would have to attend to on board the vessel, and they
are well adapted to ensure regularity and comfort, and
contain admirable precautions against dangers from fire
or other accidents.
