TIIE ARMY. Saissislay, Colons l Shamus, afterhaving tomManded the lath Regiment for over thirty years, took leave of his brother Officers, inirtlie men composing that distinguished corps, in the most affect- Ingmanner. Previous to his embarkation on board the Superb steam packet at Cork, the Officer% Non commissioned Officers, and a large portion of the men, preceded by the band of the Regiment, in order to evince the high esteem with'which Colonel TM Donatn 'was field by them, chaired him, from the New Barracks, through Pitrick.street, the Pante, and South Mall, to the Custom-bane, where the oriel lay. On arriving there the scene was highly in teresting ; the decks of that beautiful vessel, crowded with fashion able% taking leave of their friends, the bead playing, and the Offi cers bidding adieu to their respected Commander, rendered the whole very striking and animating. The 60th Regiment tthe Duke of York's own Rifle Corps) is shortly expected to enter Plymouth garrison, when the remainder of the 32d Regt note in that Citadel, will take their departure. The garrison of Tralee has been reinforced by some of the de tachments of the Rifle Corps from the outposts, and by a troop of Scots Greys, from Limerick. Other reinforceinents, we understand, are expected immediately. One of the soldiers of the 32d Regiment of Foot, on their march from Plymouth, received 300 lashes at Polesine-bridge, near Battler, nti Friday se'finight, having been convicted of mutinous conduct and striking one of his Officers. After receiving his punishment, be was•taken back to the Cavalry Barracks. • Detachments belonging to the 3d, 45th, 54th, and 14th regiments •of Infantry, marched yesterday from Westminster, for Chatham.— A Detachment belonging to the sth Regiment f Foot marched yesterday from Westminster, fur Weetion.—A Detachment be longing to the fth Light Dragoons marched yesterday from West minster, for the Cavalry Depot at itlaisistone.--Detachments be hling to the std, 6th, 28th, 41st, and 44th Regiments of Infantry matched yesterday from Westminster, for Canterbury.—Detach merits belonging to the Bth and 2ist Regiments of Foot embarked yesterday on board a vessel in the river, for Scotiand.—A Detach ment of Recruits arrived in town on Wednesday from Scotland, on route to join their respective Corps and Depots.—A Detachment of the 71st Regiment, under the command of Ensign Wiers, has em barked on board the Camel lighter, for Milford Haven; to relieve a Detachment of the 32d Regiment, which will proceed front thence for Halifax, Yorkshire. THE WEATHER. ' Cheltenham was visited on Tuesday night by one of the most terrific thunder storms remembered for Many years. The seeming warfare of the elements was indeed awful ; the peals of thunder, which were long, loud, and frequent, shook the houses to their very foundation ; and the flashes of lightning were vivid and continual. Saturday, one of the greatest storms of hail and rain, attended with thunder and lightning, fell at Bridgnorth and neighbourhood, ever remembered there, which continued more than an lawn% Wednesday, the City of Coventry was visited by a most tremendous thunder storm, accompanied with a deluging shower of rain. It commenced about one o'clock, and, for upwards of an hour, the vivid flashes of the lightning, and the deafening peals of the thunder were alarming beyond ,description. About a quarter past two, the electric fluid descended against the house of a Mr. Careless, in Much Park-street, and struck the iron hinge of a window-shutter on the ground floor, on the east side of the building ; it entered the premises, dashing to .splinters the Window and window-frame; and taking a per pendicular direction, forced its way through the ceiling into the chamber above, where part of the family were at rest; the window and frame here shared a similar fate with those below ; several splin ters being C:rown on the bed of the terrified inmates. The fluid proceeded across the chamber, forcing large pieces of wood and brick from the wall, and entered, the shop above, which contained several engine locms filed with silk.. From the appearance of this place, the electric matter had lost none of its power. In several places btikks were torn from the wall with ire whams violence, and considerable damage clone to the' 1 rpm , . The destructive fluid afterwards made its egress thrctigh a window on the we .t side of the house, tearing out the window frame. A young man, son to Mr. Careless, who slept in the shop, terrified by the violence of tire storm, rose for the purpose of closing t'.e window as the electric fluid entered. He was immediately struck to the ground, but received no further personal injury than being for a short time stunned. He de scribes the sensation he experienced as similar to that of a person whose head was surrounded by a flame of fire. No other member of the family was injured. On the nth of June, which was a fair day, about two o'clock, the most dreadful storm burst upon the commune of La Mot, in France. The rain fell in torrents, lightning furrowed the heavens, and thuoder roared on every side. About thirty persons of the neigh bouring villages were returning quietly from the fair, when, surprised by the storm, they were obliged to take refuge under a neighbouring walnut t.ee. In a moment after the lightning struck t'-:e very tree under which they were sheltered. The greater part of them wet* severely hurt, and one woman was killed on the spot, and apprehension is entertained for the life of another. Two mules also were killed, and what is rather singular, the lightning cut the reins which were round the driver's arm, without injuring him. It also carried off such of their shoes as had nails in them. The woman killed was found with her face to the ground, and appeared to have been sufficated. At this period there came to Tchornaia two Russian officers, wish several serjeants, who were much more like Cossacks than soldiers. Their appearance was the signal of universal mourning—they came to recruit. 'They proclaimed, in the Emperor's name, that on a certain day all the men in the district, whatever their age might be, were to assemble in the public square, there to be inspeCted. At the appointed day every one was on the spot ; but it was easy to see by their looks that it was with the utmost repugnance that they had obeyed. All the women were placed on the other side, anxiously waiting for the result of the inspection; and some of they were crying bitterly. We were present at this scene. The officers placed the men in two rows, and passed along the rank, very slowly. Now and then they touched a man, and be was immediately taken to a little group that was formed in the centre of the square. When they had run over the two rows, they again in spected the men that had been set apart, made them walk and strip, verifsed them—in a word, such as our recruiting councils did in our department for many years. When a man was examined he was allowed to g-, and then the crowd raised a shout of joy ; or bri WAS immediately put in irons in the presence of his family, who r ised cries of despair—this man was fit for service. These unfortunate beings, thus chained up, were kept out of view till the very moment of their departure. No claims were valid against the recruiting officer ; age, marriage, the duties required to be paid to. infirm parents, were all of no avail ; sometimes indeed it happened, and that but rarely, that a secret arrange ment with the officer for a sum of money saved a young man, a husband. or a father, from his caprice, for he was bound by no rule ; it often happened also, that he marked out for the army a young man whose wife or mistress was coveted by a neighbouring Lord, or whom injustice had irritated and rendered suspected:— Memoirs of a French Ofjfeer. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Last' night, a new Melodrama - was produced at this Theatre, in two acts, entitled The Guerilla (Ale. It is founded on the highlytwrought and deeply-interesting story of John Doe, in the admirable " Tales of the O'Hara Family," by Mr. BA Nlll. The scene is, however, transferred from Ireland to Spain. The wronged outlaw, Kavanagh, becomes the Guerilla Chief Alves (or Ro guillo)—the infamous tithe proctor Purcell is trans formed into Los:pen—Mary Grace becomes Clara Soso —and the two ruffians. Flinn and Melling, figure as Martin and Michael,' retaining the Rochite cognlmens of " Captain Starlight" and" Lieutenant Moonshine." The story is opened in a scene between two French officers, Damien and Zrefeezza (Mews. Amman and Tswana), from which it appears that they are employed in hunting down the Guerilla and his band. The former also confesses that he is in love with Clara Sens (Miss HAMILTON), whose father's residence is at a short distance from their head-quarters. The next scene introduces Losysies (Mr. Alien's), a land agent. who has first drawn the Guerilla into rebellion, then betrayed him to the Government, driven his father and mother from their home, and induced his sister (Miss GaAs), already the victim of his seduction, to become the dishonoured companion of his bed. But his desires have now been excited by the charms of Clara Soso, and his miziresa is brutally discarded. Knowing that Damien is his rival, be employs an assassin to dispatch him. The deed is prevented by the timely interposition of a stranger (Mr. Bmoterr), who carries a letter for the Frenchman to the House of .Den When arrived there, he is recognised by Clara as the object of her childish love, supposed to have been driven from his country for having mixed in its dissentions. While he remains, the house is attacked by a party headed by Leagues, and the family of the Don are carried off to the mountains. The stranger, however, has gained a perfect knowledge of the scheme through one of the agents of Leagues, and has taken measures to counteract it. When the party gain a certain spot is the mountains, they are attacked by another force, and Leagues, with his adherents, are routed. The Don and his daughter now find themseves in the hands of Aloes, who had accompanied them in their captivity, and had been their deliverer. In this situation they are surprised by the approach of Dam en sad his troops, conducted by the treacherous Leagues. Alves then throws off his disguise, and he is—the Guerilla. At his command, his followers spring out from all sides mod disarm the soldiers. He th en ascerta i ns t h a t Clara loves D;ntien and sacri fices his own hopes to her happiness. But his fi rs t betrayer is in his power, and shortly the house of Lupin, seen in the distance, is wrapped in Games. The trsitor himself is dispatched by some of the Guerilla followers, and his miserable victim rushes from the flames, and sinks in the arms of her brother. The Litter bears her off with the intention of embarking for South America, and here the Piece ends. A very powerful interest pervades the whole of the story of this Piece; the characters are well sustained, and the dialogue has both more vigour and more ac curacy than are generally found in such writings. Toe drama also had the advantage of some very good act ing. BEN NETT', a:though sometimes extravagant, played several passages with true pathos, and powerful effect. Min HAMILTON, MIIO is grea ly improved since the last season, acted with much intelligence and feeling; and Miss GOWARD made a gond deal of the little she had to do as the attendant of Clara. ARCHER of Drury lane made his first appearance here. He played a scene in the early part of the piece, where planning the mur der of Damien, extremely well. Miss GRAY has only two scenes, and in them she displayed powers of no mean order. HARTLEY, in undertaking the part allotted to him, reminded us of what is too seldom considered, that to redeem a weak part from insignificance is one of the greatest triumphs of the art. PAARMAN and TRORIIR sang with considerable effect, and the former was en cored in one of his songs. The Piece was very well received, and its announcement for re petition called forth the warmest applause from a great majority of tl.e audience. DEATH OF MR. 'FARQUHAR. Mr. John Farquhar, the late owner of Font hill Abbey, died on Thursday morning, at the advanced age of 73, at his house, in the New *Road; adji?ining the nes! , Church, opposite the Regent's Park. He took an airing in 1 is carriage the preceding day, and returned home about seven o'clock in the evening. He went to bed at his usual hour, beta een ten and eleven o'clock, in good health, and when the servant took breakfast to him to the bed-room, at eight o'clock in the morning, as was his custom, be found Mr. Farquhar a lifeless corpse in his bed. A physician was sent for on the in►tant, who declared that Mr. Farquhar must have breathed his last several bouts before, the body was so cold. He appeared to have died without a struggle, for his eyes and mouth were closed, and the countenance was tran quil. He was unmarried, and has one nephew, who will inherit his immense fortune, which is said to ex ceed a million and a half, in possessions, money in the funds, and capital in traJe. The following anecdotes of Mr. Farquhar :hew that, though an eccentric, he was an amiable man A highly respectable individual was in want of a temporary accommodation ; he applied to Mr. Farquhar for his assistance, and tendered the most ample securi ties for any advance he might make. Mi. F. having ascertained the amount requisite to remedy the inconve nience, immediately, in the most handsome manner pre sented the Gentleman with 10,0001. a sum which formed a considerable surplus of his necessities, and would not accept or hear of even an acknowledgment for it. On another occasion, as he was taking his daily airing on foot, and in that garb, very probably, which has caused him at times to be regarded as a reduced Gentleman, meriting pats ician compassion, he observed a Gentleman eyeing very wistfully a house belonging to him, at the west end of the town, which was then to let. Mr. Farquhar, accosting him, begged to know if he wished for such a house? The stranger, indicating by his looks some surprise at a question like this, from one who seemed to have so very little to do with property of any kind, Mr. F. added, that " because if he did, he was the owner of the house, and would be glad to show it to him." The Gentleman observed, that it seemed indeed a fine house, but it was needless for him to loqk at it, as be was afraid it was far above his means." " Well. but there will be no harm in your just taking a tievr,of it; you can see how you would like it, and we will talk afterwards about term•." Into the house they went, and all over it ; the stranger was loud in its. praises; he " would be happy," he thought, if he bad such an one to live in; but indeed it was impossiblefie tould pay the rent that must be expected for it.--- dr. Farquhar, Farquhar, who had taken one of those likings at first, sight, which some people have the good luck to inspire, inquired with delicacy into the state of the Gen tlensan's eircunsstances, and prolonged the conversation by various pleasant digressions, with the view, as it seemed, of drawing out a display of his new acquaints antes character. We will not say what grounds Mr. Farquhar had to be pleased with the stranger, but they were such, that at parting it was in these words—" You say you like the house, Sir, and think you would be happy in it ; now, Sir, as I think you are a worthy man, who deserves to be happy, I make you a present of the house, that you may be so. Hare the goodness to call at Mr. —'s, my Solicitor, tu•mnrrow, when ryon will find a conveyance of it made out in your fa Tour:— Percy Anecdotes. .SAITISH BOCK' SALT CO.IPANY --..iIP •-1- - The half-yearly Meeting oftheProptietors of the above Company took place yesterday, at the City of Landon Tavern, when the Report of the Directors on the affairs of the Company was read by Mr. Wu. Hesnriss.— Instead of announcing the bursting of a new bubble, it gave a very favourable account of the proceedings up to the present moment, and stated that the Directors, having made advances out of their private funds to lay the foundation of prosperity, and having succeeded in their object, should now only call for a payment of 10s. 1 per share, which w ou ld b e su ffi c i ent to comp l ete t h e ex -1 i tensive works in progress. Mr. HesELTINZ then stated that although the price of salt had fallen off 35 per cent. the company had still been able to sell at a profit, which he considered a proof of stability, under circumstances of annihilation to almost all other trading companies. A Shareholder having inquired how many shares had been signed s for, the Chairman (Mr. Broughton) handed the deed with signatures showing that 48,000 out of 50,000 shares had been signed for. Thanks were voted to the Directors, and the Meeting adjourned. CAPTAIN PARRY'S NEW EXPEDITION. __ We have much satisfaction in being able to annolince that the Board of Admiralty have determined on fit ing out another expedition to the Arctic Seas. The direct and immediate objects of the intended expedition are diffetent from those of the former voyages, and the promotion of the interests of our fisheries f.rms a very material inducement for the present undertaking. Our knowledge of Spitzbergen is almost entirely con fined to its western coast, and a wide field for discovery remains unexplored on the eastern shore of that island. The first object, therefore, of the intended expedition is the survey of its eastern coasts, where it is expected that new and prolific fishing ground may be disco vered, which will be attended with great benefit to our northern fishery, the seas on the western side of Spit zbergen being nearly exhausted. Capt. Parry has been selected for this interesting survey, and the Hecla is to be prepared for this service during the next year., An ultimate and still more interesting object is subse quently to be attempted, which will require all the energy and enterprise of the di st i ngu i s h e d Of fi cer to whom this service is to be entrusted. We understand the Heel* will takeout with her boats or small vesiels of .peculiar construction, in which 'Captain Parry and a party of the Hecla Officers and men are to attempt actually to . reach,the North Pole, leaving the Hecla in the neighbourhood of Spitzbergen. This attempt is to be made on the suggestion of the Royal Society ; and from the known zeal and skill of the Officers to be en gaged in the enterprise, the most sanguine expectations are entertained of s success. PORTSMOUTH, YULT s.—Last.eeening, about ei2lit o'clock, as Sir • Gorranzy Wasarr.n, Bart. and Mr. Corea were sailing in a small hired yacht, off the Royal Clarence Rooms, South sea, a very sudden squall of wind came on, when, froth the unskilfulness of the two seamen on board, the vessel was thrown en her beam ends, and sunk its sight of many hundreds of persons, who, watched with intense anxiety the exertior s made froM different vessels and boats to reach the spot. We are happf to 'art kir- Got:maze was safely taken from the shrouds, with the loss of his hat only. flis friend, Mr. Curia, after sinking, caught hold of the boat, which luckily did not go down. The men were also picked up by some of the Officers of the 53J Regiment, who were near the spot in their yacht. It was very fortunate that the accident happened here so many parties are constantly pleasuringr—Had it not been for the very prompt and praiseworthy exertions of those who witnessed the accident from other yachts, Sir GODIRRT must have shared the fate of Mr. BARING, two or three years since, at Lulworth, %here no as sistance was at hand. Sir GODFREY and his friend joined in the promenade at the Royal Clarence Rooms, within an hour after the accident, and were congratu lated by all present on ther escape from danger. f uts.—Yesterday morning, about halt-past four o'clock, as the watchman was going his rounds, in passing up Lisle -street, near the Brewer's public-house, Brewer's Green, Westminster, a strong smell of fire, and sort of crackling sound, attracted his attention, and induced him to knock at the door of No. 14, from whence it seemed to proceed, and alarm the inns, tes. This was with some little difficulty effected, and the door being opened, the crackling was more distinctly heard, proceeding from the kitchen ; the alarm had now become general, and two other families residing on the floors above were warned of their danger. By this time the kitchen appeared in a general blaze, which was fast c , mmunicating to the upper part, and the first flight of stairs had taken fire. Some few Reticles had been removed out from the ground floor; but the assistance given to the flames, from the curlew of air, was so great, that all who studied their own safety were obliged to retire ,from the house. At this moment it was ascertained that a child, about 14 months old, had been left asleep in a cradle io the top floor, to which the flames were approaching. The father and mother • were in a state bordering on distraition, until their dis tress was alleviated by the appearance of a young man on the roof of the next house, who had procured ad mission some few doors off, the inhabitants of which had been roused by the alarm, and thus made his way through the window into the room, and brought the child out in safety. The parish engine of S:. Mar garet's, Westminster, had some time arrived, and was now followed by several others ; and in about an hour the fire was partially extinguished, being entirely con fined to the house where it commenced, which was insured ; but the lodgers have lost al they possesed, and but for the discovery by the watchman, a loss of lives might have been the consequence. A fire broke out at Cronstadt, on the 20th ult. which totally destroyed the deal yard, and the whole line cf warehouses. The shipping was towed out of the mole by the English steam-boats, and the crew of his Ma jesty's ship GLOUCESTIR: ERRONZOUS GROUPS/L.—The respectable Corporation of an ancient borough was a short time ago sadly puz alei at the determination of a Bench of Magistrates of a Quarer Sersions, that an order of affiliation which they had made was on Erroneous Grounds. 4 i What grounds are those?" inquired the worthy Mayor; "I am seam, for sortie " I don't know where they are," answered a worthy Alderman. Inquiries were then made throughout the Court as to the locality of these grounds -.some said they thought they must be in Yorkshire, as, they had never heard soy of such lands in Lincolnshire. Alter a deal of fruitless trouble they sent for the Town 'Clerk (an attorney), who talieved them of the perplesity. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
