CHATIIdM, MARCH 27.

Yesterday afternoon the detachment of the 31st Re-
giment, uho were so providentially rescued from on
board the Kent Indiaman, landed at Gillingham-
bridge, where a band was in attendance to escort them
to lkompton Barracks.
The Royal Marines had invited a few friends to meet
these Officers at their mess, to welcome their return ;
to-day they dine with the 60th Regiment ; to-morrow
with the 51st Regiment; in fact, every heart seems
anxious to sympathise with these sufferers, particularly
the poor women ; the mother with her infant (who was
born in the midst of the distressing scene), are both
landed,in safety. The whole party attended this day
at the Garrison Chapel, for the purpose of returning
thanks to ALMIGHTY GOD for his late merciful pro-
tection, in the hour of such frightful danger.
During the DrAnests passage up. the Medway, on
approaching the PRINCE REGENT, of 120 guns, (the
pride cil England's Navy,) that active and meritorious
Often, Lieutenant Cora, who is ever alive to the feel-
ings Of others, caused the ship's rigging to be manned
by the Officers and men, uho gave the Officers and
soldiers in the transport as they passed, nine hearty
cheers, the band at the same time playing the Duke of
York's March. A sad accident happened on board the
Plums REGENT just at this time, a sailor went up to
the mast-head to clear the Admiral's flag, while at the
very top he nnfoitunateiy missed his hold and fell,
when the poor man was literally dashed to pieces; in
the fall he struck the sentry and knocked him down,
who escaped with only a slight bruise.
