The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are pleased to
command that the practice of wearing side-arms in the Royal

conceive necessary for the defence and protection of the soldier.
The Commandants of the respective divisions will, therefore,
gi►e immediate effect to their Lordships' order accordingly.

On the 6th ult. the brig Granville, of and from
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Thomas Clark, master, arrived in the
London Dock. The master, since his arrival, had been very
attentive to business until Thursday, the 23d ult., when he
called at the broker's office, in Cornhill, and on leaving inti-
mated his intention of returning on board the vessel ; but he
was not seen there afterwards, neither can any tidings be ob-
tained of him, and being of sober and steady habits, his friends
are much alarmed for his safety. The dock has been dragged
and inquiries made at the hospital and the neighbourhood of
the dock, but all without success. He is short of stature, of
sallow complexion, rather thin, and about forty-five years of
age. His, wife and children are residing at Halifax, for which
port the vessel was to have sailed on Saturday last, but has
been detained in consequence of the mysterious disappearance
1 of the captain.
The band of the Coldstreatn Regiment of Foot
Guards attended on Wednesday evening at the new Palace,
and performed a number of marches and pieces from different
operas.
On Thursday, business in the city was almost
entirely suspended. 'I he shops were, with few exceptions,
shut in all the principal streets. In the suburbs, few of the
inhabitants stopped their businesses ; yet we beard of none
who were not thankful for tine bounties of Providence during
the last season. At tWe o'clock the streets were thronged,

It has been ascertained that the body found., on the
13th inst., in a wood at Egerton, near Huddersfielid, was that
of James Simpson, of Todmorden. From the statement of
his daughter, it appears that be left his house on the Sunday
fortnight before he was found, without saying where he was
going ; and his family never heard anything more of him until
they saw the account in the newspapers. She gave such a
description of the deceased and his clothes, as to leave no
her father.—Halifax Express,
