at Chatham into three separate battalions increased
facilities have been given for the instruction ot the
officers and men of the Indian depots in the Minie
ride, each battalion being able to furnish the same
number of men for training by the several instruc-
tors of musketry ; and from 500 to 1,000 troops-
complete their Enfield rifle instruction during each
mouth, aid are fit for embarkation for India as
often as reinforcements are required.
Yesterday the first detachment of sick an d wounded
troops from China arrived at Fort Pitt, Chadian',
having disembarked from the Northfleet at Ply-

sioned officers and. invalid troops of the 59th Regi-
ment, in charge of Captain M. Pennefather Lloyd,
of that tort s, besides a large party of sailors-and
Marines who were left at tee Cape. During the
voyage, which was very protracted, six deatha
occurred on board. On disembarking at Plymouth
the invalids were forwarded to Chatham, which they
reached yesterday afternoon. Another large party
