THE GL

ORIOUS THIRTY-FIRST
REGIMENT.
CHATHAM, JAN. 13.—The left wing of this distinguished
and heroic regiment, which signalised itself in bravery- in the
recent battles with the Seikhs, at Moodkee, in December,
1845, arrived this evening at Chatham Barracks from
Gravesend. This wing of the regiment consisted of 14 ser-
geants, 7 corporals, 4 drummers; and 93 privates, with 10
women and 11 children. They embarked at Calcutta on board
the ship Plantagenet, and sailed on the 3d of August last,
but, owing to the
.ship meeting with an accident on her
voyage down the river, was obliged to return to Calcutta,
when she underwent repairs necessary for her voyage. She
sailed for England on the 2d of September, and put in at St.
Helena on the 17th of last month, and there took in water,
and arrived at Gravesend on the 12th inst. During the
passage the detachment lost by death six men ; one died this
morning at Gravesend. One man of the 9th and one man
of the 94th came home with the detachment. Lieutenant
T. H. Plasket, 31st, was in charge: this officer is wounded
in the allele. There are four other officers of the 31st came
with the troops: Lieut. R. Law. Lieut. A. Pilkington (this
officer is wounded through both ancles), Lieut. E. A. 1%. oel, and
Assistant-Surgeon Hampden H. Massey. This part of the
regiment is very sickly, and the greater part are wounded,
there being only about forty effective men among them.
Very general complaint prevails amongst the soldiers re-
garding the ship, as the pumps were kept working every four
hours during the whole voyage. There were several pas-
sengers came home in this vessel, among whom was Lord
Henry Gordon, Captain of the 4th Native Infantry; Mr.
Shand, a cadet; Miss Sutherland, sister of Major Sutherland,
of the 21st British Fusiliers; and Mrs... Chapman, a lady of
one of the judges of Calcutta; Mrs. Kelly, wiwidowi of Lieu-
tenant Michael Kelly, of the 63d, who was killed n action,
and also the widow of Lieutenant and Adjutant George Sims,
of the 62d, and the widow of the quartermaster sergeant of
the same regiment, who fell in battle, and Mrs. Turnbull, an
officer's widow of the Company's service. This detachment
i
of the 31st, after being medically nspected, and the men that
are unfit for service transferred to the invalid depot to be dis-
charged on pensions, and those that are effective will join
their head-quarters at Walmer Castle. The Royal Marine
band went out to meet them, for the purpose of playing them
to the barracks, but owing to the soldiers being brought in
vans, not being able to march, the band returned to their
head-quarters without them, although the band waited up-
wards of two hours.
