THE ARMY.

By the death of Sir Edward Hawker the colonelcy of the 3d
Dragoon Guards has become vacant. Among the many men-
tioned as likely to succeed to the vacancy, we have heard the
names of Sir Theophilus Pritzler, Sir J. C. Dalbiac, and
General Goldie ; the first named has certainly the strongest
claims, and perhaps the best chance.
As we have all along anticipated, the 15th Hussars is the
next regiment for India;they are to embark in the spring and
replace the 13th Light Dragoons. This arrangement gives
a respite to the 10th Hussars, who will be one of the neat
for relief.

Some short time since we mentioned that the Commission
appointed to inquire into the naval and military affiirs, wont
most likely recommend some new arrangements connect—
with the messing of regiments, so as to keep the expenses
officers within their pay, and the public will say it is high tin-
that something should be done, when they learn from a rni
tary paper that the 84th Regiment have expended no le-s a
sum than 3,0001. in the purchase of a service of place the
mess of that corps. We hope this notice will prove eticient
to attract the attention of the authorities at the HorEf 43uards
to the subject. •

The command at Portsmouth is not to be Herd up for
some time.

Major-General Sleige has been appointed Inspecting-
General of Cavalry in Great Britain, vice Sir C. Dalbiac,
promoted at the Coronation. •
The 36th Regiment lanied at Halifax, N. S., from Barba-
does, early this month, under the command of Colonel Max-
well, and are suffering much from the transition from a very
warm climate to a very cold one; they have already lost
Major Cross and several men. This account differs very
widely from that given by Colonel Senior, of the 56th, who
stated that his Corp; was benefited by the change. The 36th
are to move to New Brunswick, to replace the 11th, under
or rs for Canada overland.

The 23d Fusileers do not expect to leave Halifax before the
spring. They maintain their usual excellent character for
conduct and discipline, and are great favourites with the inha-
bitants. Colonel Ross has ic" ed, and Mr. Cathcart has left
for England, on leave.
The following officers retired from the army last week
Lieut.- Colonels Raper. 19t'. Regiment, Baird, 66th ; Major
Bernard, 84th Regirre Captains Miller, 2d Dragoons ;
RoLertson, ; Chisholm, Coldstream Guards; Fisher,

WAKEFIELD NEWS 110051.—1 t gives us plea'sure
to here that this institution is in a flourishing state, there
being a handsome balance in the hands of the treasurer,
after payment of all demands against it.—York Courant.—
[We think the best thing, the committee can do with the
balance is to increase their number of newspapers and pe-
riodicals.]

The 'Oxford memorial of Cranmer, Ridley, and
Latimer, which has not been much more than a month be-
fore the public, has received extensive patronage. Between
2,0001. and 8,0001. have been subscribed. The plan of
combining some sort of monumental record with a church
or sacellum, near the spot wheie the martyrs perished, has
received the support of a long list of contributors.

ACCIDENT TO THE MAIL.—On Friday morning
about one o'clock, while the mail was proceeding northward
from Newcastle, and when about three miles from that
place, in consequence of it being enveloped in an extremely
dense fog, which rendered it impossible for the driver to
see his way, the horses went off the line of road, and, the
wheels coming in contact with some object in the way, the
coach was upset.. Fortunately, there were no passengers
pn the top, and only three inside, none of whom received
any injury ; the driver and guard also escaped unhurt, and
the only damage that the coach sustained was one of the
steps broken.

On Thursday night the body of a female infant Wag
discovered by a policeman in a lane near Stoke Newing-
ton. It was still warm and could not have been long
exposed. It was wrapped up in a coarse cloth, and from
the appearance of its clothes had belonged to poor.parents.
The body awaits an inquest.
The adjourned inquiry touching the death of the
gamekeeper of Harvey Coombe, Esq., was resumed OD
Friday. The particulars of the case have already appeared
in our columns. After a long investigation the jury re-
turned a verdict of wilful murder against four men named
White, Bird, Allen, and Seggers. The principal evidence
was a statement voluntarily made by White (who is the
only one of the party in custody), previous to the death ur
the keeper, detailing minutely the whole of the transaction
in which he and his companions had been engaged. This
statement was corroborated in many points by other
dence. Mr. Coombe was bound over to prosecute. White
could not say whether his party or the keeper's had com-
menced the attack.
On Wednesday one of the Polish refugees, flawed J.
Lakouski, was examined at the Brentford Petty Sessions
on the following charge. It appeared that for some time
past a great nuisance had been occasioned in that town 1/1
p mons hawking unstamped publications containing libe"
of a most gross nature on the characters of several high!y
tepeetable gentlemen residing in that neighbourhood. Os
the afternoon of Christmas-day the prisoner was observed
in Old Brentford, followed by a crowd of boys, Ste. shout-
in '
sg, and chalking on the shutters of the shops the libellous,
contents of the publications. He refused to move on, on
the constable took him into custody. On" the way to
the station•house, the prisoner suddenly threw the police'
man down, and, while on the ground, got his knees n„1" ,i
breast, and both his thumbs into his mouth, but tile °Pieh
was rescued by the persons passing before sustaining Inu,,
injury. The prisoner was fined 205., and, in default, "
committed for twenty-one days.
