The return of the troops, now on their way from France, the arrival of the iStli (daily expected from the West Indies, at Portsmouth ' ) and the reduction r,f the 2,1 Battalions stationed in Ireland, will, most probably, give rise to A change of quarters with rust, if not every Battalion in Great Britain and Ireland.; of course, at least six Regiments will pro ceed early in spring to Ireland. Whether they sill be taken from the troops now in this country, !rim those on their w ►y home, time must determine. White small-clothes and black leggin' are again ordered to be worn Ey all the Regiments destined for the homy service, instead of the grey trowsers adopted airing the l.tte war; most likely white pantaloons and Hessian boots will be the dress of the Officers. Some think it not improbable that the old military and respectable uniform (the long coat and cocke..l 141) will, in time of peace, be once more ordeted for the Officers of the Infantry.

" A tumultuous and dkorderly proceeding com menced this meriting amongst the colliers at l'atiliou, who, in consequence ot an arrangement amounting to a reduction ef one-tenth el their wage:, refuted to work. This irregular step was but t',3 readily tot-, lowei by the miners in scveral of the iitiglibouling collieries, who, being assembled in considerable in:tu bers, were collectively and most impressively ad dressed by th.it active Magistrate, Sir JOHN C. , X litr rrsctr, Bart, bin they did not seem disposed to se parate until the Riot Act had k e en re:4 , l; in con.e quence of which they dipersed, and order seems com pletely restored. A reward of Twenty Guineas is offered for the discovery of the principal mover of , this most ill-advised proceedure." " Saturday Night, March 1. " The colliers, after having assembled in the morn ing at Poulton, in great numbers, directed their course to the ClAndown, Smallenmbe, and Itxdstock Works, to which plates they were promptly followed by Sir Jnitu, accompanied by the Magistrates of this bisti. sion, and all the neighbouring Clergy And Glary, who, finding a considerable nionh,n of the party still remaining at Poulton, two of the persons who had made themselves conspicuous on the preceding dly being recognized, were instantly seized, and delivered over to the PCACC Officers, and the remaining party were addressed by Sir dons, in a speech fully It-Aught with tenderness and ham unity, and At the SAflle time sn dignified and manly, that its effect was not only felt and admired by his surrounding friends, but it made an evident impression on those misguided men. " The Mawstrates, with their neighbours, imme diately proceeded to ClAndown and Railstock in pur suit of tlx greater body of these unthinking men ; at the I t•ter place they were found in lull force, when Sir brio again addressed them with equal eloquence And energy, in %shish he WAS na.sst Ably seconded And assisted by T. S. JOLLIFFE, Esq. of Ammerdown House, who had accidentally come to the spot : here two more of the ring-leaders of this deluded party were secured. After long and scrutinizing examins. tines, the several prisoners uere committed to the different gaols of this county." " Poulton, Tunday night, March 4. It is with great pleaoute we state, that all the eollierkin this and the neighbouring mines, are pur suing their usual employment with great apparent satistacti.in and content; and it is hoped, and believ ed, that their late misconduct is now becomi m Icier of most serious regret. A number of most inflam matory publications had bren sold by a higgler at PAulton . ( where the mischief originated). The leadeis were arrested ; 'but the poor wretches who followed them, we believe. were perfectly innocent of any had design. Alie would, however, caution them to avoid .tbose blasphemous and. sedi.ious publications whirli have caused their riotous conduct ; and recommee.d them to look to their masters as their best faiendr." To the foregoing we have to add the subjoined letter, adires , ed by Sir Jolts Cox llieerscav to A contemporary, who had inserted A letter. pretended to he from the spot. attributing these thstaders to disloyally an., disaffection on the part of the riotei Sir J: n% states Isis conviction—And we perfectly Agree with him—that the great mass of the colliers Ate well Affected to the Goverusuent. " West Cowes. March 5. " Sin—An article haring appeared in your Paper of the Si instant. respecting the recent proceedings in the Culliery Dicriets of Somerset, in which (a, it is asserted) I was called upon to take A put with other Magistrates, I feel it no less incumbent upon me to state, that though some of the leaders in those disturbances have, but toe probably, been tainted by the circulation of many of the publications alluded to, and which. in point of tact, were found on the spot, I am no less persuaded, that the great mato ol the colliers are not disalitcted as subjects. The name ' preisure of the times; and the want of labour, in ducei great numbers to tullow those who were the author. of the disturbances, but who. nevertheless, were themselves then actually in employment. 'And receiving wages much beyond the scale - of :he poor Agricultural labourers in their neighbourhood. It iv of too much importance to society.. espetiAlly at the present moment, that opinions injurious tor) great a mass of population, should not be liastily or erro neously attired. The colliers of these districts amount to little short of six thousand ; great distress has unquestionably obtained among snarly of them from the causes swiped ; but no insubordination has manifested itself, with the excepti.n I have stateJ.
