BOLOGNA, the celebrated Harlequin of Covent- Garden Theatre, intends to treat his friends in the City on Wednesday and Friday evenings during Lent with a melange consisting of pleasing mechanical and optical experiments. The entertainment will no doubt be attended by a crowded audience. King's Aims hall, Change-alley, has been neatly fitted up as a temporary theatre by Mr. BOLOGNA for the above purpose. A gentleman of the name of WALT tits has under taken to walk, for a considerable wager, from London to Holyhead, a distance of 276 miles, in tour days and" a half ; to be performed the tatter end of this month. Saturday Mr. Walter Cox stood in the pillory, in Dublin, pursuant to his' sentence, for a libel, called The Painter Cut," published in The Irish Magazine, !recommending a separation between Great Britain mid Ireland, by a French force.

The Ist battalion of the 60th regiment of foot, sta tioned in Jersey, is ordered to embark for the Cape of Good Hope. Government means to diminish the number of days for calling out the Local Militia from three weeks to a fortnight. That is, those men, who have been out' in, the former year, will only be out a fortnight. The Royal Lanarkshire regiment of Militia have marched from Port Seaton Barracks to Dunbar. The Durham Militia have arrived at Musselburgh t and are quartered on the town, and the East York shire at Dalkeith, where they have replaced the Gal- loway Militia. Tuesday se'nnight 300 french prisoners were lan ded at Leith, from the GoRGON, 44•, and marched off in three divisions for the depot at Greenlaw. Large bodits of French prisoners are now on their march from Norman Cross on their way to the coast. A detachment of from 2 to 300, escorted by parties.oF the Blues, and of the King's Own Stafford Militias passed through Reading, on their route to Portsmouth.- Most of these unfortunate people have been prisoners in England from six to seven years. and upwards; and seemed to be much elated at the prospect of soon re, viiitinwtheir native land. The regulations introduced by the present Com mander in Chief, for limiting military promotions to specific periods of service, will, doubtless, is a few years, produce very beneficial results in the army.— Of no less importance was the intended plan, which his Royal Highness, the late Commander in Chief, is said to have contemplated, namely, to discriminate and duly appreciate the nature and varieties of every Officer's individual services, respectively—a just and wise measure, and of the greatest public utility, the completion of which has been reserved as another im provement to be introduced by his industrious sti:- MEM By this scheme, the real merits and preen sinus of every officer in the army will be impartially set forth, and recorded. Thus would be distinguish ed the officer who has toiled all his life in actual war fare, seeking those honour: in the" cannon's mouth," which injustice, or the malignity of his stars had. cruelly denied to his services ; or he who has braved the fury of the elements, and the distant and pestilen tial climates of the Torrid Zone, unfriended, and un rewar&d. Thus would be detected the many preto. types of Major SrunoaoN, who, to the injury and disgrace ()four regular army, still continue to infest it, and even to work themselves into power and com mand !—Parade sabers, who in all their lives never experienced the want of a luxurious meal, or a fea therbed; *hose services have rarely extended beyond their native soil ; nor their marches farther than the distance from one comfortable inn, or barrack, to an other I It is greatly to be wished that the Commaw der in Chief, who has done so much, and has ever evinced so lively an interest for the rights of the armys and of the deserving soldier, would place the claims of officers who have unhappily served and ruined their future health in the Torrid Zone, on a just foot. ing comparatively with those whose services have been confined to temperate, and leas sickly climes, by al lowing to them the same right of claim for length of servitude, (if there were any claim of reward for the officer), uhich is granted to the pensioners of Chelsea hospital, the rates of whose . pensions depend on length of service, namely, that twelvemcinths service, between the tropics, should be held equivalent to service of 18 months in any other part of the world. : • CORN-EXCH AND; MARIC.LANZ, MARCH 13.—T0-day the market has not many further arrivals Of Wheat, but tolerable remaining supplies, and sales scarcely support last prices—Barley has an ived in great abun dance, and again as. and Ss. per quarter lower, and Almost unsaleable—Malt at less—Peas and Beans of tch descriptionhardly at the last currency—Oats have likewise arrived in abundance, and sales thereof also named lower—flour without variation.
