THE ARMY.

Major General Cochrane has returned from leave of
absence, and resumed the command of the garrison of
Dublin, and of the Dublin district.
KILKENNY, WEDNESDAY.—Two towns in our county,
those of Castlecomer and Callan, have ceased for the
present to be military stations. There has been no
detachment at the former since the removal of Captain
Weyland's company of the 43d depot, which marched
on the 3d instant to join head-quarters at Templemore.
On Thursday last Captain Wilbraham's company of the
39th Regiment, at Fethard, and Captain Liddell's com-
pany of the 81st Regiment, at Callan, which latter is
under command of Lieutenant Skerry, in the captain's
absence, were withdrawn from those stations. The for-
mer proceeded to Cashel, and the latter to Thurles, to
relieve the detachments of the 80th Regiment which
joined head-quarters at Buttevant. Fethard, as well as
Castlecomer and Callan, is now left without troops.
On Wednesday last, Captain Walker's troop of the 2d
Dragoon Guards, which was stationed ill Kilkenny,
with the exception of 1 subaltern, 1 serjeant, and 14
rank and file, proceeded, under command of Cornet
Bridgeman, to Newbridge, to join head-quarters, in
order to make room for the Royal Artillery in this gar-
rison, which is now being augmented. The subaltern,
serj eant, and 14 men of the Dragoons, will only re':
main in this garrison.
The 39th Regiment, at Clonmel, under command of
COlonel Wright, C.B , with its detachments at Carrick-
on-Suir, Cashel, Dungarvan, and Clogheen, are about to
be relieved by the 9th Regiment of Foot, from Galway ;
the head-quarters of the latter corps, under command of
Major Elmhurst. will arrive at Clonmel on the 26th
instant. • The 39th proceed to Cork.
ARMAGH GARRISON.—We believe that there is truth
in the rumour that Governmrnt intends to strengthen
inland garrisons. Though outports have the first de-
mand, we cannot forget that inland towns such as
Armagh were once strong fortresses against the common
foe.

WRECK OF THE ARIENIS.—TWENTY LIVES LOST.—
The fate of this vessel, an East Indiaman, and that of
her officers and crew, have for a long while excited much
anxiety. She sailed from London some years since, on
a voyage for Bombay and China, and from the period of
her departure from Bombay, nothing was heard of her
until about a month or six weeks ago ; when the atten-
tion of the underwriters were attracted to a notice of a
loss, in the Java paper, announcing that a large ship,
supposed to be the Arienis from England, had been
wrecked on the Eugans Islands, in lat. 5.31 S., long.
102.12 E., about 60 miles of Sumatra, on the west coast,
and that the whole of the crew, forty-four in number,
had perished by starvation, where that' had been exposed
many months. Lloyd's agents at Singapore, Messrs.
Lindsey and Co., by the recent mail, have sent addi-
tional information respecting the unhappy catastrophe,
from which we gather a confirmation of the loss of the
ship ; but it is somewhat gratifying to state that al-
though a great many of the crew, including the master,
Captain Brown, his chief officer, Mr. Church, and others
twenty in all, perished under the melancholy circurn-
ear the
stances before mentioned, the remainder of the ship's
company, twenty-four, were found alone on the island
by a merchant trading there for oil, who took them on
