children, and the 2d Queen's, 5 sergeants and 37 privates ;
13th Light Infantry (Prince Albert's Own), 2 privates ; 17th,
2 sergeants, 4 corporals, and 35 privates, with 2 women and
3 children ; 22d Regiment, 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 3 drum-
mers, and 45 privates, with 11 women and 16 children;
28th, 4 sergeants, 2 corporals, and 46 privates, with 7 women
and 11 children ; 78th Highlanders, 1 sergeant and 10 privates,
with 3 women and 6 children ; making a total of 19 serjeants, 11
corporals, 4 drummers, and 218 rank and file, 34 women, and
46 children. The troops were in command of Major John G. S.
Gilland, of the 2d Queen's, with Capt. Wakefield, 28th, Lieut.
Wade, Lieut. Williams, and Lieut. Mitchell, three officers of
the 13th Light Infantry. The above embarked at Bombay, on
board the Herefordshire, 1,400 tons burden, Capt. Richardson,
for England, on the 24th February last, and arrived off Graves-
end on Monday, the 30th June, after a passage of four months
and four days, during which time the troops lost by death 28
men, viz.: —1 man, 17th; 3 men, 14th Light Dragoons; 7
men, 2d Queen's ; 6 men, 22d ; 4 men, 28th ; 4 men, 86th ;
and 3 men, 78th Highlanders, and 2 children. Major Ken-
nett, of the Honourable Company's service, a passenger, and
Mr. Porter, steward of the Herefordshire, died on the
voyage. One man of the 2d Buffs, of the name of Ed-
wards, a prisoner, under sentence of a court-martial, came
with the troops. The men of the 28th are those who were
providentially saved from that malignant fever which nearly
carried off the whole of the regiment during the time of its
attack with the Beloochees, on the 15th June, 1842, at the
taking of Sinde. The troops will undergo medical inspection
previous to their discharge on their respective pensions.
A detachment, consisting of 31 men, with 3 women and 7
children, belonging to the 94th Regiment, under the command
of Captain Doar, arrived yesterday afternoon at the Invalid
Depot, from Gravesend, where they disembarked from the ship
True Briton. This detachment embarked at Madras on the 3d
of March last. The only death on board was one man belong- I
ing to the Company's service.
