THE ARMY.

(From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.)
Letters received yesterday at onr orlice, from the 27th
and 93d regiments—the former from Granada, the latter
from St. Kitt's and Antigua—left those corps in good
health on the 12th December. The 93d had only three
men in hospital.

On the arrival of the 65th regiment at St. Kitt's, the
93J will be removed to Demerara and Berbice.

The 2d hat. 60th, at Bcrbice, had not a single man in
hospital in December.
By a letter received yesterday at cur office, from Ja-
maica, we are concerned to hear that Lieut.-Col. Dorn-
ford, commanding the Royal Artillery, died on the 20th
December, after three days' illness.
His Excellency the Lieut.-Governor of Bcrbice has been
pleased to appoint Lieut. Croker, of the 60th Rifles, to be
Captain of the Fort at the port of Berbice, vice Lieut.
Skinner, of the Royal Artillery, who has quitted the colony.
The Ann and Amelia transport, having the head quar-
ters of the 74th regiment on beard, arrived at Cove on
Tuesday. They immediately disembarked, and on Wed-
nesday were landed in Cork, where they will be quartered
for the present.
The 98th depot embark at Cove, in the Ann andAme-
/its transport, for Plymouth.

The 2d Dragoon Guards (Bays) and 2d Dragoons
(Greys) leave the Irish establishment next month. The
former will proceed to Edinburgh. The Ist King's Dra-
goon Guards, from Ballinrobe and Gort, replace the Bays
at Caber and this garrison.
His Excellency Lieut.-Gen. Lord Combermere, of Com-
bermere Abbey, Cheshire, -Commander-in-Chief of the
Forces in India, is on his return to this country. His
Lordship took his passage in September on board the ship
Blond.

Report in India says the 11th and 13th Light Dragoons
are going home, and that the 3d Light Dragoons and 15th
Hussars are to go out to relieve them.
The 3.1 Buffs were to march last November from Bhan-
gulphore to Meerut, to relieve the 31st regiment.

The Buffs would not reach Meerut before the end of
February, 800 miles, four months' march.

The Hon. Company's ship Marquis of TVellington ar-
rived out in 87 days from England.

The 62d regiment, quartered here, embark at Cork (in
the vessels which convey:the 28th to Ireland) for Chatham,
previous to proceeding for Madras. This excellent regi-
ment, now forming a part of our garrison, have received
instructions that a medical inspection will take place of the
corps, in order that none but young and healthy men
should leave for India.

MISS FANNY KEMBLE'S POETRY.

(From the Spectator.)

At the Harmonists' Society on Thursday, a very excel-
lent new glee, by Sir George Smart, was sung by Master
Phillips, and Messrs. Terrail, Horncs,stle, Goss, and E.
Taylor. We understood it was lately produced at the
Concentores. We subjoin the poetry, which was an-
nounced to be the production of Miss Fanny Kemble. It
has not yet appeared in print :.--.
The moment must come, when the hands that unite
In the firm clasp of friendship will sever;
When the eyes that have beamed o'er us brightly to-night
Will have ceased to shine round us for ever.
Yet wreathe around the goblet's brim
With pleasure's roseate crown •
What though the future hour bediro—.
The present is our own.
The moment is come—and again we are parting,
To roam through the world each our separate way:
In the bright eye of beauty the pearl-drop is starting—
Yet hope, sunny hope, through the tear sheds its ray.
Then wreathe again the goblet's brim
With pleasure's roseate crown:
In hope, though present hours be dim—
The future is our own.
The moment is past—and the bright throng around us,
So lately that gather'd, has fled like a dream;
And Time is untwisting the fond links that bound us,
Like frost-leaves that melt with the morning's young beam.
Yet wreathe once move the goblet's brim
With pleasure's roseate crown :
What though our future hour be dim—
The past has been our own.

COUNTY WATERFORD ELECTION.—The
following letter, addressed to HENRY Dxxxnr, Esq. was
read at the late meeting in Dungarvan :
" Lismore Castle, Jan. 19, 1830.
_ _

" Dear have no hesitation in stating to you in
writing that of which I last evening assured you verbally,
that the Duke of Devonshire himself remains neuter in
the present contest, leaving the election to the free and
unbiassed choice of the freeholders, including in the num-
ber his own tenants. This I shall take measures to make
known to the whole of his Grace's tenants who have votes.
" I am, dear Sir, your obedient servant,

" W. S. CURREY."

1,298,1791. 6s. 6d. ; of which there has been advanced

So vivid were the flames issuing from the
burning of the English Opera House and its neighbour-
hood, on Tuesday morning, that the reflection, as:far off as
Kensington, illumined the street and the windows like the
rays of a bright morning sun ; and the smell of the fire
was as strong as if it were raging at the Palace, instead
of being so distant as the Strand. The light was much
stronger, and more expanded, than that of the Argyll
Rooms, as seen from the same spot, though the latter fire
was a mile nearer.

see If
pure specimen
any
body
of the native Yankee, such as MA-
THEWS would represent, if the New England character
England were very anxious to
were to be truly represen,ed by him, I should say with
you, look at Sir FRANCIS 13URDETT, Or ROBERT OWEN,
of Lanark. Either of these would pass through New
England for a native New Englander. Their carriage,
their look, and voice, their general habits in society, are
so very much like those of the New Englander and the
well-educated American of the New States, that 1 could
never listen to either for five minutes without being car-
ried away by the delusion.— Yankee and Boston Lite-
