dered unable to go abroad. They will embark with
the full establishment, viz., 38 officers and 870 men,
the women not being allowed to accompany them.

service on which the troops were to proceed, and
expressed his confidence in the discipline and good
conduct of the battalion, which, although young he
pronounced to be in every way worthy to stand be-
side any of the older regiments.

EMBARKATION OF THE GUARDS.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.

The early days of the Crimean war, at the com-
mencement of 1854, were brought forcibly to the
recollection of many a spectator among the thou-
sands who assembled in our docks to-day to witness
the arrival, embarkation, and departure of some
1,800 officers and men of the Grenadier and Scots
Fusilier Guards, and to cheer them on their way.
As on that occasion the picked men—the very flower
3f the British army—leave this port, in some of the
finest steamships in the world, amid the fraternal
plaudits of many thousands of our townsfolk; and
the gallant fellows returned the greeting with those
hearty bursts of cheering which British soldiers
know so well bow to give forth when they go to
defend the honour and maintain the glory of their
country. _ _

About half-past 10 o'clock this morning the first
train arrived from London, followed at short inter-
vals by three more trains, the first two bringing the
Grenadiers and the other the Scots Fusiliers. Each
party was met at the terminus by the band of the
Southampton Rifle Volunteer Corps, which played
at the head of each division as they marched to the
steamers to which they were respectively assigned.
The arrangements for the embarkation were so com-
plete, on account of the great facilities afforded in
the Southampton docks, that the whole of the men
marched on board with the greatest ease and expe-
dition, and by 1 o'clock both the Adriatic and the
Parana were moving out of dock, much to the asto-
nishment of the lookers•on. The dock quays and
all the vessels in dock were crowded with people,
who cheered the troops lustily. There could not
have been less than 12,000 or 15,000 personapresent.
The Adriatic, Capt. G. C. Nicholson, takes out
the Grenadier Guards, and a battery of Artillery,

mands the brigade ; Captain George G. Gordon, of
