THE ARMY.

In the appointments to the Order of the Bath in the
Royal Marines the vacancy of Lieutenant-General Sir
Henry Bell, K. C. 8., who died about four years ago, and
that of Major-General M'Cleverty, C. 8., who died about
six months since, have not been filled up.
Lieutenant Elliott. 79th Foot, has been appointed an
extra Aide-de-Camp to his Excellency the Lord Lieute-
nant of Ireland.

One squadron of the Ist Royal Dragoons, under
Captain Owen, embarked here yesterday on board the
Juno steamer, for Liverpool. A second division, which
marched into town this morning from Ballincollig, is
expected to follow on Monday.— Cork paper of Saturday.
The detachment of the 27th Foot at Dover, consisting
of six officers and 106 rank and file, is under orders to join
the service companies in Canada.
A troop of the 12th Lancers has arrived in Frome,
where it is expected to remain for some time.
Tuesday the head-quarters of the 7th Regiment of
Dragoon Guards marched into Leeds from Edinburgh.
They are to be stationed there for the ensuing year.
The 29th Regiment are proceading to Newport, Mon-
mouth ; 152 of them left Bristol on Thursday, by the Usk
steamer.

Four companies and head-quarters of the 88th Re-
giment left Templemore for Dublin on the 6th, and
will arrive on the 11th instant, and two companies on
the 14th.

The depot companies of the 11th Regiment are under
orders to embark immediately at Cork for Aberystwith,
in consequence of the alarming excitement prevalent in
Wales.
The following moves will take place during the sum-
mer, viz.:-47th depot, from Jersey to Cork ; 67th depot,
Gosport to Cork ; 73d depot, Cork to Chath-im ; 60th
depot, 2d battalion, Portsmouth to Cork; 93d depot,
Cork to Glasgow,- 74th depot, Glasgow to Cork : 71st

94th depot. Cork to Liverpool ; 52d depot, Carlisle to

pot, C:rlisle to Belfast ; 53d depot, Dublin to Devon-
port; 43d depot, Dover to Dublin; 75th depot, Dublin to
Devonport.

Per Mission has been granted to the East India Com-
pany to raise two European regiments, in consequence of
the reduced state of her Majesty's army not admitting of
two regiments being sent to India. The recruits for the
East India Company will be taken at b feet 5 inches, and
up to the age of 30 years. The regiments will not be em-
bodied in this country, but recruits will be sent out in de-
tachments, and formed, on arrival in India, into corps. This
augmentation is in addition to the 600 men previously or-
dered to be enlisted.—Pavel and Military Gazette.
The recruits to augment the 20th Infantry Regiments in
India from 740 to 976 rank and file are coming in but
slowly. It is, however, to be hoped that the very judicious
change in the order regarding the age of recruits, which is
now from 18 to 25, instead of from 20 to 25, may render the
facility of enlisting greater than it has been. We believe
that the recruiting department is very ably conducted, and
that the fault does not lie with the officers and non-com-
missioned officers, but in the low rate of bounty, the very
rigid and rejective orders to the medical officers who exa-
mine the recruits, and to the vast length of foreign service, '
particularly in India, which deters men from entering the
army.—lbid.

The Queen's Bays, or 2d Dragoon Guards, left Hahne,
for Glasgow, the last troop on Monday. They are suc-
ceeded by the 6th Dragoon Guards from Dorchester,
all of which regiment has arrived, except two troops,
one expected to-day, and the other on Wednesday. The
Staff and the ether troops arrived on Wednesday. The
Colonel of the regiment is the Hon. R. Taylor. We
bear that the Ist or Royal Dragoons is expected here
shortly, though probably not to be stationed in Man-
chester. Of this regiment Sir H. Vivian is the Colonel.
In addition to the 20th Infantry, which has been in the Re-
gent's. road barracks since October, under Major Hutchin-
son, five companies of the 79th, which would arrive at Li-
verpool from Dublin yesterday, are coming by railway this
morning from Liverpool, and for the present are to be bil-
letted in the town. The staff and the remaining five com-
panies are to remain at Liverpool for the present, as the
head-quarters of the regiment.—Manchester Guardian of
Saturday.

HORRID MURDER AT HENLEY ON
THAMES.—About 7 o'clock yesterday morning, it was dis-
covered that the dwelling-house of Mrs. Phillips 8i years
of age, living near Woodcot House, near Henley on
Thames, had been broken open during the night, and its
inmate murdered. The deceased lived by herself and was
attended by the wife of a farmer's servant near, the spot,
who left her the previous eveningin bed, between eight
and nine o'clock, and on going to get her up this morn-
ing, discovered the house had been broken open and
robbed. On entering the bedroom she found the bed-
clothes saturated with blood. and the unfortunate woman's
brains exuding from her skull, which had been beaten
almost to a mummy. She went immediately to Adam
Duff, Esq., of Woodcot House, a magistrate, who has
been most indefatigable in his endeavours to discover the
murderers. The arms of the old woman bore evident
marks of having been severely pinched. A sawy..rs bar,
with two files, a line, and a pair of compasses were left by
the villains, but no instrument has yetbeeri found b 5 which
the act was perpetrated. A gold ring was taken from
her finger, and some money from a chest of drawers in the
room in which she slept. In the drawers thus ransacked,
on old fashioned box, with eight sovereigns, and a roll of
calico, with thirty-five pounds in Bank of England notes,
were overlooked by the parties. A coroner's inquest was to
b 9 held on the body at twelve o'clock this day. The
tools found left on the premises were stolen from a sawyer
in the neigbourhood, about a month ago, and the parties
supposed to have stolen them, resided in the neighbour-
hood of Mrs. Phillip's cottage._Since the former part of
this parai,.;-raph was written, we have beard some slight
Clue has been obtained to the discovery of the perpetra-
tors of the diabolical act.
