manent quartershere. They had 
taken baggage-stores, mess-house, 
and lodgings for the officers, but 
just as the bugle sounded for 
dinner on Monday evening, an 
express arrived from Clonmel, 
ordering them to make a forced 
march for that town, so as to be 
there by ten o’clock in the morn- 
ing, for which place the whole, 
upwards of six hundred strong, 
set off in one column yesterday. 
The garrison duties of this city 
are, of course, left wholly to the 
94th, and a small body of cavalry, 
but as the out-detachments of the 
Scotch brigade are called in, they 
will be fully equal to the per- 
formance of this service. The 
first division of the Waterford mi- 
litia arrived here on ‘Tuesday, on 
the route to Athlone, and mareh- 
éd yesterday morning. The re- 
mainder marched in yesterday af- 
ternoon, and follow the same 
route this morning.
