NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Admiralty have instructed Lieutenant Com-
mander Boys to use increased exertions in raising
volunteers, particularly seamen, who are very
scarce at present. Artificers and stokers are
coming in freely, and there is a party of nearly 20
(including some A.B.'s) now on board the Atholl,
4, receiving ship, at Greenock, who will be sent off
to London this week. Captain Lord Frederick
Kerr, of the Marlborough, has written to Lieu-
tenant linys expressing his high satisfaction with the
fine drafts of volunteers sent to that ship from this
port. Orders have been received for the collection
of the coast-guard volunteers, in readiness for the
arrival of the Hogue, which is expected early next
month.
The Admiralty have required to be informed in
how short a time the ships in the steam reserve at
Devonport could be got ready for sea. At the same
time a return has been called for of the number of
continuous and non-continuous service men serv-
ing on board ships in the home ports.
The Dapper, gun-boat tender to the Hastings,
sailed. from Devonport cia.- Monday evening for
Sheerness.
The Intrepid, 6, screw steam sloop, in the steam
reserve at Devouport, took a trial trip outside the
breakwater on Tuesday. Vice Admiral Sir Bar-
rington Reynolds, K. C. 8., commands in chief ;
Rear Admiral Sir Thos. Pasley, the captain of the
steam reserve, and a party of ladies, proceeded in
the vessel on her trial, returning in the evening.
The following depots, attached to the battalions
of infantry at Cnatb am, have been ordered to be held
in readiness to embark at Gravesend for .Cork for
the purpose of occupying the barracks at Butte-
vant, which have been vacated by the troops pre-
viously quartered there, viz. :—the 18th Royal
Irish, under the command of Capt. G. W. Stac-
poole • the 27th Enniskillens, under the command
of J. +. O'Donnell, with Capt. J. S. Manly, Lieut.
W. S. C. Pinwill, Ensign R. Hamilton, and En-
sign F. A. Campbell 7 - the Bth Royal County Down,
in charge of Capt. H. W. P. Welman and Ensign
G. S. Jackson. The depot of the 87th Royal
Irish Fusiliers will also proceed from Canterbury
to Buttevart.

Col. H. Sandham, Director of the Royal Engineer
Establishment, Brompton Barracks, Chatham, has
received orders to hold in readiness 56 non-com-
missioned officers and privates of the Royal Sappers
and .Miners to proceed forthwith to British
North Ameriaa,:where they are to lie employed
on the boundary expedition under the command of
Capt. J. Summerfield Hawkins and Lieut. James
Hamilton Wilson, R.E. The expedition will leave
Chatham on the 2d of April.
Daring yesterday and the previous day nearly
300 recruits arrived at Chatham for the purpose of
joining the Indian depots at that garrison. Owing
to the continued influx of volunteers and recruits,
the garrison of Chatham is more crowded with
troops than for several years past, and there are
nearly 5,000 men ready to embark for India.
The following is a list of the officers attached to
the United States' steam frigate Niagara, which
arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday :—Capt. W. L.
Hudson, Lieutenants J. H. North, J. D. Tedd, J.
Guest, W. A. Webb, E. Y. M'Cauley, and B.
Oligarch, Surgeon D. S. Green, Purser J. C.
Eldredge, Lieut. W. S. Boyd, Passed Assistant-
Surgeon F. M. Gunnell, Assistant-Surgeon W. G.
Hay, Chief Engineer J. Follansbee, Purser E.
Willard, and Boatswain R. Dixon.
Orders have been received at Chatham garrison
for the immediate erection of a number of hut,,
which are to be built outside of Fort Pitt, on the
rising ground between the new burial ground and
the fort. The huts are for the convalescent invalid
troops, and are to accommodate 500 men.

St. Juan de Nicaragua (Grey Towo), Feb. 16 :

away off this very dismal place, so we have got up
a first-rate theatrical company, and on Feb. 3
Shakspearo's Rehard lII.' and the farce of the
White Sergeant' were produced. It w s coesi-
dered a rich treat by all who witnessed it. The
next p'rform,ince takes place on the 24th, whe.
SAsher and Crasher,' and Box and Cox' will
be enacted. We are expecting orders by next mail
to leave for England."
