THE ARMY.

PLYMOUTH. Psi. 24. —About eighty men belonging
to the 28th Regiment, now stationed at the Citadel here,
are to be discharged in a few days. On Wednesday the
commanding-officer of the regiment, Colonel Messiter,
had an interview with the magistrates of Plymouth on
.the subject. We understand most, if not all, the men
will have some money on their discharge.
Colonel Oldfield is on the eve of departure to Gibral-
tar ; who is to be his successor here is not yet known.

A compliment in garrison orders has been paid to
Lieut.-Colonel Waring, of the Royal Marines, for the
services rendered by the several detachments of corps
under his immediate command, as field-officer of the day,
at the late fire on 'Messrs. Scott's premises in Southside-
street. The Hon. Major-General Murray was likewise
present.

FUNERAL OF THE RIGHT REY. DR. WALSH.—
The remains of the late Dr. Walsh, Vicar Apostolic of
the London District, will be interred to-morrow (Wed-
nesday) at St. Mary's, Moorfields. The ceremonies will
be performed with great solemnity, and will occupy
several hours. Dr. Wiseman will officiate, assisted by
the other bishops of the Roman Catholic Church.
MR. Dyes SOMBRE.—A 9 some misconception exists
in reference to the recent medical inquiry into the capa-
city of this gentleman to manage himself and his pro-
perty, it is right that the public should be informed that
in the first instance Mr. Dyce Sombre placed himself in
communication with Dr. Seymour, Dr. Winslow, and
Mr. Lawrence, the eminent surgeon of Bethlehem Hoe.
pital, requesting those gentlemen to form themselves
into a committee of inquiry relative to his state of mind.
After consulting on the subject the medical gentlemen in
question respectfully declined entertaining the question
without obtaining the authority of the Court of Chancery
for the investigation. Mr. Dyce sombre was declared
to be a lunatic by a commission, and was then under the
jurisdiction of the Lord Chancellor. Subsequently Mr.
Dyce Sombre applied to Dr. Paris and others, and ob-
tained the affidavits which form the basis of the motion
now before the Court of Chancery.
THE ROBBERY AT ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE.—
On Wednesday last, while the directors of the poor were
assembled in the new vestry-rooms, it was announced
that the three deposit checks of the London and West-
minster Bank for 3,0001.. which had been taken out of
the cash. box broken open on the night of the robbery,
had just been found. The person who discovered them
stated that they were lying quite open on the floor of
the strong room whence the money had been taken.
He was exceedingly particular in Catlin his (the chair.
man's) attention to some holes in the checks, which be
stated had' the- aptieitralice of having 'bee]; either filed
several times or perforated by nailed shoes. The chair-
man observed, that it was quite impossible they 'could
have been left on the floor of the strong room, as it was
searched at the time of the robbery by the detective
police and by the members of the board of directors at
least 20 times since. The case remains in a good deal
of mystery, but certain circumstances have come to the
knowlenge of the authorities which, according to appear-
ances, it is said will involve more than one individual in
the alleged crime. A few days will probably suffice for
the full development of the abstraction of the checks in
question,

e ImrßovErttENTs IN CARRIAGE& —Ther have been
many patents out of late for improvements in carriages,
which appear to have the twofold object of elegance and
economy of space. In the desire of comfort it is almost
impossible to conceive that invention can go further than
what has been embodied in several carriages we have
recently seen at Mr. Home's, formerly the celebrated
Houlditch's, in Long-acre. In the inti nor of these luau-
us ottoman-like seats are introduCed, with a studious
regard to the ease and requirements of the human figure;
and the space itself is apportioned with so much judg-
ment, that great room is obtained without additional
weight, or a departure from grace of form. . These few
words must suffice as a general and merited
i allusion to
the taste displayed in the carriages of this establish-
ment. There are, however, several other improvements
in reference to vehicles and harness, of which mention
may hereafter be made.--rot.
