THE ARMY. Tt.is. New Levses.—By the latest information which has been re.Nived from the different Recruiting Parties throughout the eelied kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the following re • eels, it appears, exhibit the total of the approved recruits which have been enlisted for the new Regiment. For the 97th Regiment, S.^.o men; for the 98th, 100; and for the 99th Regiment, 170. A new book of Military Instructions has just beer published by command of his Meer.srv, and under the rev:sion el Mejor-Ge neral Sir lIVIRT TURD!" of which every (Meer in the Army and Marines is required to supply himself with a cony. The object is to establish one uniform system of Field Exercise and Move : aunt throughout his Meaner's Land Forces. The new system is tun:ides, en that se hich was introduced about thirty-three years fro, by the late General Sir DAVID Deenes, and embraces all the improvements that have since been partially adopted durir; the Lie war, so that a fixed and general principle of formation is now to he universally adhered to, and the Army is no longer to be sub jrcted to the inconvenience necessarily resulting front a desultory' and disunited practice, carried on for some years at the uncertain discretion of Commanding Officers. The work extends to the member of three hundred and thirty-five octavo pages, and has twelve large plates, containing no less than ninety-one cirres, representing the different manoeuvres and evolutions that are hereafter to be performed by companies, battalions, aiel brigades. Heretofore the number of evolutions under the system of General DUVDAS amounted to no more than eighteen ; but the add:tioval evolutions are considered as essential to the complete manageineetl of an Army in all possible positions; and a considerable portion of the work is occupied by instructions as to forming and marching in echellons—a species of tactics constantly pi acteied with great suc cess by 80/11.1'MM in his campaigns. It may easily be imagined what an extensive and complicated piece of Military machiner y this must he. Indeed it is so considered by the old Field Officers, some of whom are unable to make themselves masters of it : and they will, probably on that account, be obliged to retire from the service. The work, however, appears to be one of the completes[ things of the kind that ever was published; and there is every reason to ex-1 rect that, when well understood, and universally acted upon, it will rive to the 13ritish Army a degree of efficiency and perfection which never possessed before.

' Yesterday a numerous Meeting of the Church wardens, and deputations from the several Parishes of the City of London, met at Bow Church, for the purpose of re ceiving the Repeat of the Sub-Committee on the subject of the London Workhouse—CHAßLES WILLIAM HLCIC, Eq. in the Chair. The Report stated, that the Sub-Committee had duly presented the Petitions of the several Parishes, praying that in consequence of the heavy burdens imposed upon them without any adequate advantage, the demand for farther aid on account of the London Wot khouse might cease, or measures be adopted to render the Institution more efficient and beneficial to the Public ; that a Com mittee of the Corporation was appointed to investigate the subject, and reported, as had been stated previously, on the subject in accordance with the views of the ex tensive population of the City of London ; that the Sub- Committee, from the conviction that the managementof the London Workhouse, and the purposes to which it had been appropriated tor a length of time, was not such as were intended by the Act of the Legislature under which it was originally constituted, and that, from alterationsin the poor laws and other circumstances, a call had been ac customed to be made on the parishes for pecuniary support to a useless and unnecessary extent, therefore approved of the recommendation to reduce the expenses of the. establishment; that after defraying the present out standing claims by one further rate only, and that amounting to no more than one-half of the usual rite c:r assessment on the parishes, a plan be cartied into execution for rendering the workhouse useful by means cf its c.,vn independent funds, without any furth:r claim 71pon the parishes ; that upon this successful result, to 1 . .2 justly attributed to the inteiference and expression ihe gclrt ii vtii:e of the parishes, the Sub-Commit tee deemed it unnecessary to make any further comment t's.an simply that cf congratulation, although in re,ign itig Oic;r trust th2v timid not but urge the expediency e; a steady co-oixration amongst the polishes in any '.:sere plita for rendering the workhouse useful to the rommunity, and improving the system adopted with -chard to the por.r, Stc. A Member of the Deputation observed, that the in stitution of the London Workhouse could be adapted to admirable uses, and supported by its own independent 4. unds. It was Mr. Hick's object to have a refuge for :•ersons who had no work—iii. those who were released torn prisons, where they wete colihned for offences of ••o magnitude, and who might be brought back to a sense of duty and shame—(Applause.) Feveral Gentlemen spoke in favour of the plan ; and the Report was adopted. The thanks of the Meeting were then vc,ted to the Sub-Committee, and Mr. Atwood, the Honorary Se ..retary, to whom it was resolved the paper expressing die thanks should be enclosed in a gold box. The Meeting then separated. -- Th 4 = - to Rev. E. IRVING has been lately , in open , jig a new Scottish Church at Ifirniiugham, called bt. .Itolre w's, after the tutelar Saint of Scotland.

Notwith,tanding the large sums of money expended by the present Pr tipri tors of these Gardens, preparatory to their openii.o. ° for the last season, workmen have been busily empl o y e d during the winter in preparing new fascinatioas for the frequenters of this popular place of amusement. A new painting by THORNE, representing is the centre the Cave of Fingal, 81 feet by 25, is neariy completed ; which is to be put up where the represen tatian of Mount Vesuvius w :is placed last year. Two new galleries are erected for the better accommodation of the company ; one of which is opposite the theatre, and the other opposite the fire toe:cr. The otcheitra has been entirely repainted. The c, lours are red and white, relieved by very well executed gilding. A new sound ing-board, in the form of a shell, has beta placed aver the orchestra where the vocal performers stand.— The partition that separated the rooms in the Pavilion has been removed; a new staircase has been erected, and a new gallery or supper-room has been added at that end of it towards the Kennington-lane gate. WOOLWICH, APRIL 20. There are four large hulks lying off our dock-yard, filled v ill the convicts that were removed some time ago from the Penitentiary, Millbank ; and since their arrival, they have all experienced a great improvement in their health. Forty of the male convicts are now em ployed every day working in the dock-yard, along with numerous other convicts, who have been serving oat their time in the old hulks. They are all well fed, and look healthy and robust. The work in the yard, which consists in the removal of timber, cables, rubbish, &c. ceases every afternoon at five o'clock. After that the men arc sent on board, where many of them employ themselves in working at any mechanical trade to which they might have been brought up. Besides food and clothing, each male convict is allowed Is. 6d. a week—sixpence of which is given at once, and the re maining shilling per week is laid by to accumulate into a sum, which is to be given to each when the period of his sentence expires, so that he may be en abled to purchase new clothes, and turn himself to in dustrious habits. The female convicts from Millbank, to whom is now applied the appellation of The Fair Penitents, amount to about four or five hundred. They occupy two of the hulks, each having two petty officers on hoard, and are under the management of their female keepers. If one, however, can judge from the manners and conversation of those ladies, it would not appear as if any great feel ing of penitence prevails among them. Besides those who are allowed, at different hours of the day, to walk on the over decks, clusters of them are constantly seen at the different portholes; and not a boat or a vessel passes along that is not assailed by them with all manner of badinage, and sometimes in language far from modest or delicate. Twenty shrill voices may be heard at once, throwing out jests upon such boatmen, sailors, or passengers, as happen to approadi near enough to be within the reach of their tongues. To the great joy of the different officers belonging to the dock , yard, none of them are allowed to come on shore. They seem, however, quite pleased with their present altered situation, for it was to them a sort of jubilee to be re , moved fiom the solitary walls of Millbank, to a place where they breathe fresh air, are well fed, see the light of the sun, and the busy world moving about them. On their first arrival here, they were rather mutinous ; some of the most robust among the damsels thought fit to settle their private disputes by pugilistic contests, and even turned their fistic weapons against the officers, who interfered to preserve peace and gcod order among them. How long they are likely to remain here is quite uncertain. The two new docks, or rather slips, which were begun about two or three years ago, are now completely finished, with the exception of flood-gates, which are not. yet put up. They are the completest works of the kind that ever were constructed, and in each of them a ship of the largest size may be built.—The sloping bottoms, resting on great piles, and bowled of planks and stones of enormous size, placed tranversely in alternate rows, are of uncommon solidity, and the sides are constructed of vast masses of Scotch granite. They are to be covered by r oofs resting on massive piles. The practice of covering in this way all the dry docks where ships are building is now become general in the King's yards. They are of great use in protecting the timber from the effects of the weather, as well as affording shelter to the workmen. In the dock where the Nelson was built, the workmen are now making considerable progress in the construction of a large SO-gun shi,,, to be called the Thunderer. There is no Commissioner now attached to this dock-yard, and consequently so much expense is saved to the Government. RICH UPHOLSTERY SILKS, &c.

MASTER AND SERVANT.—The Glasgoui Courier says —" An Appeal case came before the Circuit Court of Justiciary, regarding a servant who had deserted his se:vice during the currency of his engagement, and who had been found entitled to full wages• for the time he served. The case was heard on Wednesday (the 14th instant) before Lord GuLics, who I eversed the judgment, and distinctly stated, that it was clear , a servant who deserts his service, during the curtency of his emragcment ) loses his wages for the time he had 'served: " - LAW INTELI,IGP,VCE.

This was an action brought to recover the amount of el debt owing by a person Italie.] Alinghain to the . plaintiffs, w'io were induced to L.ive credit to Allingham in consequence. of the defendant having falselY repre sented him as a man fi to be trusted ; he tht dritindant at the time Icom%ing Allingham to be insolvent: From the evid ence f or t h e plaintitrs it appeared that in the yea r 1: 7 4 : '2 2, cr wh i Carried on the busi ne,s Of a fringe and trimming manufacturer, was in debted to the defendant in the sum of above 4001. which, although frequently asked to do so, he did not pay. Allingliam then applied to the plaintiffs, who are silk, merchants, for credit, and refereed them it, the defendant for his character. The plaintiffs sent their cleik to the defendant, who on being asked Allingham*s character, replied that he conside!ed him to be avery' honest man and deicivin: ef credit for 4X)I. or 500/. and that he had been always regolar in his payments.'

After the iinAvency of Al lingliam was known, the defendant, on being reproached with having given a I+1:4• dem ac; er, t.aid, 44 What could I do ? Whilst he owed me money my tongue was tied, bqt the moment he got nut of my debt I ex po,ed the r.vcal, and told pc. I pie itot to credit him." For the defendant was called defendant's attorney, ;rho smote that Alliagliam told I;im that " the plain thfs olll4red to wilful:.lu. their opposition to his discharge if he would assist them in gettio,4 their 1110:.ey." Another person who was present at the time when the defendant was charged with having said " What could I do, &c. Ike swore that lie did trot recollect the de fendant's having used any such words. Th- defendant's books were put in to prove that the goo,!s given to him by Allingliam were gods which had been . pt eviously sold to him by the defendar.t. M'. ATTORNEINGENERRL, who conducted the else for the plaintiffs, contended in reply that the entries in the hook had been altered, as some of them were written in two different kinds of ink. His LORDSHIP in summing up, observed, that if the Jury .should be of opinion the defend in knowingly gave a false character to Allingbam, it ought to be assumed that he had a corrupt motive for d o in g s o, a nd the pl a i n . tiffs would be therefore entitled to a verdict.— The Jury, haying retired for an hour and a half; found a verdict for the plaintilF,—Dartia,;es 2521. 13s. GREENAWAY AND ANOTHER Fl ITER, BECKERS, AND A NOTII Ell. Thii was an acti.ln of trover brought by the t;lain .. tiff's, who are calico printers at Manchester, to recover from the defendants the value of a quantity of calico converted by them to their own use. It appeared that the plaintiffs consit , ne , .l, in the year 1822, several quantLies of calico to Mr. Eccles, a w:are• houseman in London, to be sold. Eccles being in want of money, applied to Beckers for a loan on the security of these goods ; but Beckers said he had not got the money, but he could get it done far his friend by Fisher, who on being applied to said he did not like to have anything to do with consigned goods, and the bills of parcels must be made out in the name of Beckers.— This proposal having been agreed to, and the terms upon which the advance should be made having been settled, the goods were sent to Nfr. Woodward (who is a packet), who packed them 1.. t exportation, and made oath at the Custom House that they were his own pro perty, and Beckers paid to Eccles the advance by Fisher's checque. Three similar transactions between the parties took place before Eccles became insolvent, and upon which occasion the plaintiffs ascertained the nature of those transactions. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for Mr. Woodward, sub mitted that no action lay as against him, who did nothing more than pack the goods in the way of his business. With resi.irct to the affidavit at the Custom !louse, such affidavits were always made by the packers, who, until the goods were shipped, always con..idered themselves the ownets of them. _ _ Mr. ScAat.r.rr, for the plaintiffs, said there could be no doubt if a person came improperly by a pipe of wine, and his servant were to assist him in bottling it off, both would be liable in such an action. He sub mitted Mr. Woodward came within that principle. Hip LORDSHIP was of opinion that the general prac tice of packers took Mr. Wood ward's case out of that rule. Mr. LAWES, for Mr. Fisher, addressed the Jury, and contended that all which was proved against his client was, that he was foolish enough to lend his money to Deckers, who had since become insolvent. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the Jury found a verdict for the defendant Woodward, and for the plain tiffs against the other two, damages 51.51.

COVENT•(tAItDEN BIBLE AssocrimoNs.—The gene . ral anniversary meeting of the subscribers and friends to this Associations was held yesterday, purposely for receiving the Committee's Report of the proceedings of the la-t ) ear, and also for the election of officers, &c. The Rev. Dr. RAivnocen, Piesident of the Society, JI took the chair, supported by several eminent Clergymen and a most numet ous and respectable assemblage. The report, which wa3 read by the Secretary, detailed at considerable length the prowess the Committee had Imade towards improving the condition of the poor in their disti ict, by the distribution of a large number of Bibles and Testaments; they had been materially assisted by the co-operation of the Ladies' Committee, whose exertions, the repot stated in warm and deserved terms, had keen most beneficial to the cause they had in view —that of placing a copy of the Scriptures in the hands of every individual. The Ti easiner's statement chewed the necessity of further pecnniary aid, to carry into effect the objects of the instiintion. Several Gentlemen addressed the meeting in able speeches, enforcing the utility of the Associations ; and it was moved and car ried that the tepoi t should be adopted. The Committee for the ensuing year being appointed, and the routine business disposed of, thanks were voted to the Chair man, who expressed his acknowledgments; and the meeting adjourned.

SITUATION OF TOR BUOYS PLACED ON /lit CHICO AND OSTLES BANKS, SPIT OF ENSENADA, AND BANK OF PUNTA LAILA. , ~ , On the Chico there are four red buoys, as follows: &the S.E. ex;remity of the hank, in three fathoms, muddy bot tom the Nlagdalena Church hearing S. 15 W. by the compass. One on the N.W. extremity, Point Atalaya bearing S. 24 W. muddy bottom. The third is laid W.N.W. from the one on the S.E. end, at the distance of four miles, in Si fathoms. The fourth, three miles to the N. 15 W. of the third in one fa thom and a quarter. On the Orthes lout black buoys are placed: The first bears N.E. front the one on the S.E. end of the Chico, in three fathoms. _ The second N. A N.& from the one on the N.W. of the Chico, in three fathoms. The third to the N. N.& of the one in the centre of the Chico, in three tathoms.—These, with the buoys on the Chico, form the large channel between the banks, of four, five and a half, and some times six fathoms, according to the state of the river. Tl.c fourth at the S E. extremity of the Orthes, five miles and a half KS. E. of the old wreck called the Aguila Volante—Puint In dio bearing S.S. W. POINT SANTIAGO, OR ENSENADA SPIT. A black buoy is laid on the Spit, Point Santiago beating from it S. 28 E. and Point Lara S. 53 W. in three fathoms water. On the Bank of Lara, or part of the Spit Ensenada, a black buoy is placed, Point Lara bearing S.E. S. and Point Santiago S. i 3 E. In three fathoms. COURSE PROM MONTE VIDEO TO bUENOS AVILES. On leaving Nloate Video, steer S. W. for thirty miles; then keep her head W.S.W. till Point Indio is seen. When this Point bears S.S.W. hut eight miles off, keeit. a N.W. course. At this dis tance you will find three and a quarter to three and a half fathoms, and go on &evening to four and a half and five, and continue this course until you get into three and a half, when you will find your s-:!f near the Orthes. litre chatii i e the course to \V. N. W. until arriving at the outer roads, from five fathoms you may perceive the buoy. The inside passage of the Chico being about st:vtn mile. from Point Indio, as above stated, keep :he vessel's head W. N. W. until you see the feria-houses of the Magdalena, and when the second tarot-house beats S.S.W. you will then ace the buoy on the S.E. end of Chico, and by keeping on will perceive the second, four miles distant from the first, W. N. W. on the southernmost part of Chico, and on reaching the second, you may ecnainue your course with confidence, as the bank stretches to the N.W. ani tile third buoy is at N.N.W. After passing the Atalaya, the wood of Santiago will he seen ; and after it immediately the Point of this name : then the buoys off Ensenada. On no account ought a vessel to come within six miles of the land, after passing Point Atalaya, on account of Ensenada Spit running so far out, as will he seen by the buoy, which, with a smooth river, is perceptible at five miles distance. The Atalaya may be easily distinguished by two small clurops of trees on the bank of the liver, and sonic farm-houses with anther treci. _ _ _ After seeing Ensenada, the amber on Punta.Lara is the it.-xt point ; afterwards the steeples in Duenos Ayres; then the vesels in the outer roads.
