They are divided into companies, and remain iv their own quarters, seldom intruding upon one another. Hach floor of the building is occupied by five companies, where they ent, {sleep und go through thoir Military exercises. The only trouble existing is the want of arms, the men being obliged to drill withou: the ac- customed musket. however, is only 2 temporary ‘want, as they will be supplied w'th both arms and uniforms. The uniform of the men will consist of dark blue jackets, tight bive pants, and capa of dark biue. ‘The uniform of the oflicers will be that worn by the Unit- ed States Army.

A roll for volunteers is now open at the house of Hose Compmy No. 25, and 84 Worth street, and corner of First avenue and Seventeenth street, THE MONTEZUMA REGIMENT. ‘This regiment is picking up wonderfully, and will soon be ready to take the field. The single fact that Captain Doubleday, of Fort Sumter fame, will lead thom on w victory or todeath, s suflleient in iteclf to give the Monte- zuma a prominent place among our volunteers. They at present want a little ald, and the following gentlemen have been appointed to receive subscriptions and dona. tions:—Hon. Join W. Edmonds, No, 11! Hroadway, ‘Trinity Building; Hon. F. A.

TOSTPONEMENT OF THEIR DEPARTURE. ‘consequence of the pon-arrival of arms and muni- tetweof wir, the Fire Youaves, commanded by Colne M@eworth, were unable to proceed to their destination yesterday. Their headquarters, in Deviin’s new building @sna) street, was surrounded with an anxious crowd all day, and much disappointment was expressed at the pont) nt. yutations from the Fre Department of city, as Ga from Brooklyn, Williamsburg amd Jersey City, continued to arrive all day long, for the parpoee of bidding farewell to their comrades, and crowded the barracks to suffocation. By dint of hard work and good management, the rifles, @vercoats, knapsacks and other accou:rements will be ferthocming to-day, and the regiment will probably bo abe to start about noon. Eleven o'clock is the hour an- pounced for their departure, but we presume it will be twelve or one o'clock before they will be enab.ed to leave. The |ine of march wi)! be the same as originally agreed spen, namely:—From the barracks in Canal st Broadway, down Broadway to the Park, tore of colors voted them by the Common Council; thence to the Astor House t) recoive another got of colors, prepared for them by the ladies of the b and thence up Broad- way to Thirty-third stroot and .o avenue to the resi- dence of Mre. Astor, to reseive a third set of colors. Ke- terning from Fifth avenve the gunent will page down Broadway to Union square, aud v0 on down to the foot of Bana) ftroet where iney will probably embark about three o'clock P.M. NOTICE. The Youave Regiment of Firemen, commanded by Colone] Eleworth, will form in froatof their quarters in Canal strect, oa Monday morniog, 2¢th inst, at cleven @ clock precisely. The Department stand of colors will be present in front of the head quarters.

THEY WILL GO (NTO BARRACKS TO-DAY, ‘The Seventy-ninth regiment (Highland Guard) will go into barracks to day, they having been assigned a place im the buikiings just erected in the Park. Tney were to have gone to the old arsena) in the Centra) Park, bnt there ‘was no room there for them, the building being occupied Dy the Scott Life Guard. It is probable that but afew companies will go to the Park to day, but they will alibe stationed ihere ina day or two. From that point they wil ed, as £00n as Circumetances permit, to one of ‘the forte in the harbor. ‘The regiment now consists of ten companies, and are ready to go the instant their uniform aud arms are forthcoming. It is expected thet the men will proceed the scene of their future movemen!s in the national itt,’? ae it will enable them to move with greater fa- eility, and will be very seasonable in a Southern clime. All communications with reference to the regiment may be addressed to Lieutenant Colovel 3. M. Elliott, uetipg commandant, at No. 7 Astor place, Eighth street. FIRST REGIMENT, NEW YORK ZOUAVES. Last eummer, when the Calcago United States Zouaves, under command of Colonel Elleworth, visited New York, the excliement about light infantry tactics became 80 formidabie that on the spur of the moment a num- ber of Zouaye companies were organizet,one of which, the New York Youevee, appointed Qolonel R.

Since the war excitement has broken out the company has been recruiting, and now the regiment numbers eight hundred able, athletic young men, whoare inuring themectycs to hardships and privations in the regular Algerian manner. The regiment ie well officered, Colonel R. C, Hawkins» in command, being an ex-ollicer of the Mexican war. The members of the regiment are nearly of @ similar height, five feet five inches being the average size, and no one ever the age of thirty is permitted to become a member. The quarters at Castle Garden are, to say the least, very illy adapted for military purposes, in their present condition; but the Zouaves are making tle most of a ne cessity, and adapt themselvee to sleeping on the seats ‘tbat in times of yore were occupied by ihe aristocracy of thie city in listening to the aweet strains of a prima donna, Yesterday morning, at half-past gine o’cieck, the ont was assembled and placed in column to attend of the Baptist divine service.

The United States frigate Constitution, from Annapolis, get her out over the bar, Her crew of twenty-five men and otticers had been at their quarters with shotted guns night and day for four days, troops were drilling on the shore, signals between them were constantly made, large parties were around the ship to find out her aseallable point. She had four anchors and seven chains out, when the order came at seven o’clock wget her over the bar. The steamer Maryland, in General Butler’s charge, came alongside. One anchor was hove up for use; all the other chains were slipped, and the ship start- edat9A.M., drawing 20}, feet. There was them but 19 feet on the bar, and for sometime it was doubtful if she would go, but by great exertion, by lighting and careening, her she was forced over. The Captain, pilot and engi- neers of the Maryland, which had been siezed by General Butler, were very averse to do their duty, and it was only by putting them under a guard, with revolvers, that they would proceed with the vessel. After dragging her over the bar the ship grounded on the outer spit, about ten o'clock. Information having been brought off shorty after that the channc) outside the ship would be obstructed, kedges were laid out, and it was endea- vored to warp the ship over the spit, part of the men being at the guns. The Maryland having been run aground by her officers, during the warping a squall came ‘Np and drove the ship ashore again. At daylight a steam tug from Havre de Grace came in sight, and was taken to tow the ship out. She was then taken in tow by the R. R. Cuyler, and brought to this port: ‘Two compantes of General Butler’s regiment of Masea- chusetts volunteers, the Salem Zouaves and part of the sappers, are on board to protect the ship, 100 in all.
