Kilkenny, having completed its Minie rifle practice.
Major Shearman proceeded to Carlow on Wednesday
to take command of the two companies of the 62d at
that post.
We regret to state that Captain Dallas, 11th Hussars,
whilst hunting near Kilkenny a few days since, received
severe internal injuries, from which he is at present
suffering, from his horse having fallen and rolled over
him.

Lieut. John Pitt Kennedy, 42d, previously 14th Dra.
goons, has retired on half pay.
Lieut. Peel, 53d, is appointed paymaster of the regi•
ment.

Major Hart, 49th, has sailed for Malta.
The wooden bedsteads of the 63d at Linenhall-bar•
racks, Dublin, are condemned, and iron bedsteads are
ordered.

The Board of Ordnance have purchased the houses 70
and 71, Stephen-street, Dublin, belonging to the Dean
and Chapter of Christ Church, to be added to Great
Ship-street-barracks, which will greatly increase the
accommodation for troops.
Major Hoy, 30th depot, Fermoy, having proceeded on
leave of absence, Captain Rose is in command.
Colonel Bloomfield, R.H.A., has arrived in Galway
on a visit to his sisters, Mrs. Harlow Dennis and Miss
Bloomfield. _ _

Captain Macdonald, 14, has exchanged with Captain
Proby, 74th depot, who will shortly retire from the
service. _ _ _

Ensign Dwyer, 14th, has left for Winfield, Shinrone.
The adjutantcy of the 72d.depot, at Limerick, is vacant
by the promotion of Lieutenant Alison to a company.
Ensign Basset, 67th, is appointed to the 72d.
There is a report that the Tralee-barracks have been
condemned in consequence of imperfect sewerage, and
that the military is therefore to be withdrawn. The
military authorities complain that they cannot make a
main sewer into the river that runs from the barrack,
which would obviate the unwholesomeness. Mr. William
Denny has, on the part of Sir Edward Denny, offered to
have the sewer carried through the part of the Green
demesne adjoining. The removal of a depot from Tralee
would involve the loss of an outlay of 12,0001. a.year to
the town.

dialogue of the tragedy will be read by that eminent
tragedian, Mr. Vandenhoff, who has been engaged for
the occasion.
