THE ARMY• isr e b e lieve that it is determined on that the Expe. n ow forming shall speedily start from Ports mouth. The force composing it will be a small one; a nd it is to be comm anded by a brave and popular Gen eral Officer. We forbear enlarging at preset% Through the exertions and popularity with the Mili tia of Colonel BUNBURY, the 2d Battalion of the Old Buffs is completed to 1000 men : and it is expected that the Buffs, with that distinguised Regiment the 19th, will immediately go on service. General ENci ioo has lately reviewed both Regiments at Plymouth, and approved much of them. The 13th has more than its complement of men. The Carabineers, who lately arrived from Buenos A ds , are daily expected in this Country from Ire bad, as are the 3d Battalions of several Regiments. Genera 1)z LArica's Regiment, (the 17th Light Dragoons) will very speedily be embarked for India. The old M otto of this Regiment Death or Syr ,• The Ist Battalion G of eneral Winri.cfatat's Regi mot (the 89th), as well as the 47th, T go on to India f ro m the Cape. By letters from Officers in various quarters, we have of late been reminded, (recommended through 'th e medium of the STAR) that a Subscriptio n sh ou l d be opened to erect some kind of monument, in tes timony of the merits of those brave officers, Lieu ttnanttolenel VASSAL, Lieutenant-Colonel NI'LVOD, Major TROTTER, and Major BRowsitinc.r. That the final result of the expeditions to South America and Egypt were unfortunate, cannot be attributed to these brave men ; for never--not even in the brightest d a y; of our military career, were more determined b rav ery and heroism shorn than by these much lamented officers. We understand that the newly-appointed Commis sioners of the Barrack Board are about to set out on a tour, to inspect and examine personally, in every quarter of the kingdom, into the numerous abuses which have so long existed in this department ; an exam ple worthy the imitation of the other public h o ards, who, by remaining consantly stationary in London, are not become acquainted with many abuses which exist. The Scotch Brigade, and 84th Regiment, are now on their way home from India. The 84th will be far recruited by the time it comes home, being a York shire, and a favourite regiment. Many volunteers bare turned out for it from the Yorkshire Regiments of Militia, particularly from Lord FITZWILLIAM'S. Of the troops arrived wits General MOORE, the brigade of Guards goes to Chatham and Deal ; the 2 , 1 battalion of the 78th, or Ross-shire Highlanders, to Canterbury; and the 20th, S6th, and 52d to Ash ford and Brabourn Lees. We hear, That on account of the expected crowd to hear General Wurrnotic's Court-Martial from all Parts of the kingdom, none but Officers in uniform will be admitted. While we publish this report, that none of our readers may be disappointed, we could wish that on such a solemn and public occasion, some larger place was allotted than the usual Court martiahroom at Chelsea, Wednesday and Thursday se'nnight, the Ist batta lion of the 7th infantry, who were lately landed at Portsmouth, from the Copenhagen expedition, marched into Lewes Barracks, it is supposed to be stationed during the winter. The 51st and 69th regiments of Foot are expected at Lewes shortly, on their march to Silver ,Hill bar racks. Three hundred volunteets, chiefly composed of Grenadiers and Light Infantry, from the Scots Mi litia, have been embarked on board of the Winchelsea snd Elphinstone, to complete the first battalion of the 78th Highland Regiment in India. THE GoAlms FROM Sicryr.—Wednesday afternoon, ivision of the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards, con 'of upwards of four hundred men, under the .of Lord FREDERICK BENTINCK, Lord TyR. Colonel ASKEW, and several other officers, into Horsham from Fetworth in a most un. _ ~ , lictition,the roads being dreadfully heavy foul, from the late rajas. The officers and men appearance of fatigue and disorder in thei r '_•coutrements, while smiles of joy seemed in their faces, on again touching British Sicily has been, for a length of time, the of their operations, in and about the neighbour. of Syracuse. Lord FRED . F.ntelc BENTINCK'S particularly his short, bore proof to his hay ** narched from Portsmouth (the place troops disembarked), the latter being nearly his feet, having, with a humanity worthy of every British soldier, .resigned his • the accommodation of the weak and fatigued, quietly bringing up the rear with time fr an his back. Lords TERCONNEL • Noma dined with Colonel Boric at Nui .

Buenos Ayres frdm the Spaniards, and a valuable sword, voted by the Corporation, Sir Hods, after receiving the Freedom of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Tailors, at their Hall in Threadneedle street, arrived at Guildhall about four o'clock, accom-. panied by Sir JOHN STUART, and several Naval Offi cers, arid was conducted into the Chamberlain's Office, where the ceremony took place in the presence of a number of Aldermen and Common Councilmen, who were appointed a Committee for the purpose. Few instances have occurred as to entertainments that have been given at the Mansion-House, that surpassed the one given yesterday. After the cere mony of presenting Sir JOHN STUART and Sir HOME POPIIAM with Swords, at Guildhall, they proceeded in procession to the Mansion-Hotise. The company consisted of the following t Mr. Alderrhan Saws:, as LCUIII Town for the Lord Mayor, he being exceedingly unwell. Lord Gambier, Sir John Stuart, Sir Home Popham, and Sir Edward Hamilton. - Aldermen Sir John Earner, Boydell, Birch, and Hunter. Sirs F. Bourgeios and W. Beechy. Doctors Babington and Dennison ; Captain Ainsley. Messrs. Ainsley, Hensley, Lavie, Chamberlain Clark, and Messrs. S. and 1. Dijon. George Newenburgh, Esq. Mister of the Company of Mer- Chant Taylors, to which Sir John Stuart and 41r H. Popham were admitted to the Freedom. The Wardens, and whole Court of Assistants of that Company. The company did not break up till a late hour. DM:RI-4MM —The Haunted Tower, last night, pro duced the combined powers of Mr. BRAHAM, Signora STAR ACE, and Mrs. MOCNTAIN. Mr. BRAIIAM'S " Spirit of my sainted Sire," is not only admired for the execution, but for the inimitable acting he displays. Signora Sroaace`s . .4dda is rich in humour and variety. —lle whole performance went off with great spirit. There was a very elegant audience. The Earl of STAIR, and Countess-Dowager SPENCER, were present. COVENT-GARDLN.—Last, night Mrs. HR.VRY JOHN: STON came forward, for the second time this season. The play was Mrs. CowtEi's lively and elegant Co medy of The Belle's Stratagem, in which Mrs. JOHNSTON filled the . part of Letitia Hardy, the fascinating heroine of the piece. Mrs. JoirNsroN, on her first appear ance, wore an elegant morning dress, was pale, and agitated. She had in her hand an essence bottle, which proved extremely useful. She was received, as on the former night, with a tumult of applause and hisses, accompanied With " Off, Off;" —‘ 4 Go on, go on, go ox." 4 A chair was placed on the stage, which Mrs.JOTINSTON I availed Il ff r es elf of, and was supported to it by Mr. CL Aaa who played the part of Vipers. The uproar' increaseadvanced to the frontof the stage, in the. most beseeching attitude, bathed in tears. This only increased the noise. At length an universal cry of "Hear her, Hear her!" prevailed for a moment. The fair suppliant took advitittage of it, and said, we believe, " Ladies and Gentltisen—l should be unable to sustain the smallest mark ,of disp from any one here, if I were not consoled by the CODNi " in many instances I have been much ct ir tm wronged." .• . . . here there was his; nt and 44 O ff ! eri -hint: At* Rut t go on !" resoundett sin all sides v.when she again spoke, in broken sentences, of _4' much unmerited re preach ; undeserved reprobatio","i &et ' This prodtical another clamor, which endidth a universal cry of I" No more,"—" Go on, go dir'and the play was suf fered to proceed ; but on Mrs. MATTOCKS, in the part of Mrs. Racket, saying, , " But pray, what is the meaning of all this ?'' the hissing and noise were renewed, though only in a slight degree ; and all was good humour, until Letitia Hardy, speaking of how she would act by a beloved husband, says, " Live With Lim in the eye of fashiOn ; or, in the shade of retire ment, change my Country.' the last sentence was caught with avidity, by the un friendly part of the aujience, and the effect of that interesting and elegant scene was entirely lost. After this detail, we should think it very unfair to criticise Mrs JOHNSTON'S performance of one of the most difficult parts in elegant comedy, and which the Au thoress describes so justly in the following lines : " Shall I be an English-wife ? or, breaking from the bonds of nature and education,step forth to theworld in all the captivating glare of foreign manners ?" Mrs. JOHNSTON was not happy in her musical ate tempts. The minuet Dc la Cour she danced with Bract and elegance, and was much applauded. We do no think her acquirements equal to the line of acting she has undertaken. She is a very fine woman, and fills some parts with much excellence. Mr. 'Awls did net look well in Doricourt, and did not possess his usual ease.—Miss Bnisrow looked the woman of fashion, and was a most interesting portrait of the amiable Lady Frances Touchwood.—Mrs. MATTOCKS and Miss WADDY were very spirited in Mrs. Racket and Miss Ogle.—Mr. MUNDEN, as Old Hardy, was admirably dresscd in the Masquerade scene, and was very bu; morons theoughout.—Mr. W. MURRAY, in the vet; trifling part of Dick, the servant, displayed a degre e of comic humour, that drew down an universal burst of applause.—Mr. JoNes was very successful in the part of Flutter ; he both conceived and executed It with judgment. The house was quite full. On Thursday night the shop of Messrs. Taylor and Co. linen-drapers, in Warwick-row, Blackfriare. road, was broke into by some nocturnal depredators, who carried off a quantity of linen-drapery, and other articles, to a large athount. tisist-ccemert VACCINATION.—A statement (by fir. Birch) appeared in The Morning Post of Friday, January 1, containing an account of a number of failures of Vaccination at Ringwood, in Hampshire, of which several individuals were said to have died of 1 the Small-Pox. But we are informed by one of the Medical Gentlemen who were sent from London 'to ascertain the truth of this report, that the supposed failures were by no means attributable to the Cow- Pox, as the Parishioners thethselves were fully con vinced, after the most deliberate investigation.—We we at present only permitted to mention, that the want of success chiefly originated from defective Vac cination, or from injudicious management, subsequent, to the inoculations. We have authority to add, that' the Royal Jennerian Society of London are in NI, possession of all the important facts relative to subject, and that They will soon take dw steps to undeceive the Public, who bar Ateest •tnisied by premature and false repare.

The ball was led down by Major Sutton and Miss Curtis, and continued by about •forty couple in two sets, until one o'clock, when supper was announced, which consisted' of every choice dish and viand that could dazzle theeye or gratify the taste. The num ber that sat down to supper was about 10D, *id all were conveniently accommodated in the 13arc-net's large andelegant dinner-room. During their charming repast the delightful band of the Deibigh regiment played favorite airs, and the worthy host and hostess dealt out, with a most liberal hand, the finest spark ling champagne and. other choice wines. Soon after two the company resumed the dance, which was kept up with great spirit till past six o'clock, when the en chanted visitors reluctantly retired, highly gratified with their treat. Every kind of delicate refreshment, confectionery, tea, and coffee, were abundantly supplied. The splen did ball-room was brilliantly lighted up. The ladies 'were elegantly dressed, and displayed much beauty and fashion. The arrangements of the numerous de licacies and ornaments of the table were exhibited with great taste, and every article was excellent. Thursday last the Earl and Countess of CRAVES arrived at Benham House, Berks, on a visit to hey Serene Highness the Margravine of Alisracit. The Earl and Counts; of LONDONDERRY, arrived at their house in Grosvenor-square, on Tuesday, from their seat near Belfast, Ireland, and yesterday the Earl and Countess and suite set off on a visit to his bro ther the Earl of CAMDEN, at his seat,• Wilderness, near Seven Oaks, Kent. Wedneslay, a General Court Martial assembled at the Bull Inn, Woodbridge, for the trial of R. CORRALL, Esq. Captain and Paymaster of the 15th Light Dragoons : the investigation is expected to last several days. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House ) hen the under-mentioned Captains were sworn into imand of their respective ships, viz. tihc, Captain P. hot ,of the Euphrates,for Madras and Bengal ; Captain C.

She was obliged during the voyage to throw part of her cargo over board to save the ship.

On Thursday aft, rn :on, while Lord HEATH FIELD'S curricle, with two horses, was standing in Grosvenor-square, the horses took fright, and ran with the curricle up Grosvenor-street ; by the plung ing and kicking against the splinter-bat the pole was broken, and the coachman fell forwards between the horses and the splinter-bar, in which perilous situation he remained till the horses came in contact with a post in Park-street, when one of the horses falling, he was extricated by some passengers, after being dread fully lacerated. He now lies in a very dangerous state. Saturday a curious circumstance occurred before the Magistrates in Bath. One of the renters of the tolls on the Chippenham road summoned a driver of a stage-coaeh for not paying the legal tolls, which had been repeatedly claimed. At the moment the Ma gistrates convicted him, the coachman laid an infor mation against the-gate-keeper for having no stamp in his hat, which he discovered whilst in the hall.— An investigation came on before the Justices on Mon day, when the gate-keeper proving that it was a newly-purchased hat, and that the stamp had only fallen from its place, and the hat-maker coming for ward to swear that the stamp was fixed.. in the hat when purchased, and paid for agreeably to the act, the complaint was dismissed, and the inforzuer sorely vexed. Monday came on before the. High Court of Justici ary, at Edinburgh, the tria} of Robert Daw, indicted at the instance of his Majesty's Advocate, for theft. He pleaded guilty ; and the Jury having inclosed in the Robing Room, in about half a hour returned into Court, with a verdict, all in one voice finding the priscmer guilty,in consequence of his judicial confession. He was sentenced to be transported beyond seasforlife. Tuesday the Court proceeded to the trial of Bdrbara Malcolm, accused of the murder of her female child, 18 widths old, by wilfully pouring a quantity of vi triolic acid down its throat. The - trill lasted -several hours, and the evidence being clear and satisfaCtory, the inhuman perpetrator was found guilty, and' re ceived sentence to be executed on Wednesday the 10th of February next. - • SPARRING SCHOOLL—The '24igisti2tes of Union.:l Hall Office having learnt that a number of persons assembled at a public-bon:sit in; their cPstrict, for the purpose of learning to spar and box, sent ouvatkir 019Ecers, with privy searchewarrants, who found at one academy, kept at the Southwark Tavern, Tooley titreet, several journeymen, labou!ers and apPra(ttices.

Yesterday the inhabitants of Islington were 'alarm ed by the appearance of a supposed mad dog run ning . down the road with a rope round his neck, foaming at the mouth.

The animal being closely pur sued, and not able to withstand the showers of stones with which he was assailed, took refuge in . the lower part of a newly-etected house, near 'idler's Wells, where a bullet terminated his life.
