THE ARMY.

The 14th Light Dragoons, commanded by Col.
BAKER, are quartered at liouuslow•, Hampton
Court, and vicinity; .
Saturday, the 16th Regiment of Lancers latuied at Liverpool,
and' received a route for Romford.

Thursday, a detachment of the Muskerry-Cavalry, thirty h
number; arrived in Cork, for arms .nd accoutrements for talc:
remainder of that corps. They appeared, fully appointed, on
the Grand Parade in that city, and excited universal admira-
tion for their soldierly appearance. The uniform is precisely
similar to the Carbineers.

. •
Tuesday se7nnight three men were brought before the'Justices
in Perth; under a military escort, from Stirling, charged with
having enlisted in the 75th Foot, being at the same time sehsti4
tutes in the Royal Perthshire Militia. The Justices, on clear
evidence, fOund them guilty, and in terms of the Militia. Act,
sentenced them to two, months' imprisonment in the To!booth
of Perth ; their period of service in the Militia then to corn,
thencti, and to continue until they are legally.discharged ; after-
wards to be'delivered over to the Regiment in which they had
enlisted.'

The Lith Regiment of Foot, which was to have embarked
for the rust Indies this Spring, does not leave till the end of the
year. •

The Glasgow Sharpshooters having announced the commence.: ,
men of their annual drill, we cannot help congratulating thatcorps on the auspicious circumstances under which they are Vo.
turn out ibis season. In the perfect tranquility .which happily ,
prevails in this part of the country, their services cannot be.
supposed to paint
.at any .political object. The young gentle-
men of the town came forward to perfect thqmselves in that
knowledge of arms which it is incumbent on every denizen
of a frees state to' acquire ; and which the peculiar circUrn,
stances of our own country at the present moment urgently
demand. In that reduction of public expenditure which is-
unfortunately too requisite, there is a danger that the Civil Ma.
gistrate may be left without sufficient 'power for emergencies,.
unless there be a disciplined band of citizens ready to
attend his call. Our hand we have no doubt will -be of 5u.711 •
respectability as to ensure the permanent tranqUillity of th-3
city under every circumstance.--(Glasgow Herald. )

from Charleston to Liverpool: she had lost her bowsprit, fare-
top-mast, and her sails blown away, on 7th inst., in a heavy

We understand that some of the American packet-ships have
each a cow on board, for the purpose of supplying the passen-
gers with milk during the voyage.—( Liverpool Advertiser.)

PORTSMOUTH AND ARUN NAVIGATION.—We
are requested to state that the Branch of the Portsmouth and
Arundel Navigation which leads from Chichester Harbour up
to the city, will be opened for the accommodation of trade, on
Tuesday, the 9th of April next ; and that the Steam Vessel
( Egrenzont 2) belonging to the Canal Company, will leave East-
ney Creek, in the island of Portsea, at 9 o'clock in the morning
of that day, taking in tow several barges and boats, and navi-
gating therewith through the harbours of Langstone and Chi-
chester, and on the canal from the entrance at Berdham, up to
.the basin, near Chichester.—Ws are also requested to invite
such gentlemen as are engaged in trade in Portsmouth, Port-
sea, and Gosport, and parts adjacent, and are in the habit of
receiving goods from London, to take a passage on this occa-
situ' through this part of the Navigation, that they may judge
of the safety with which goods can be conveyed thereon, in the
description of vessels prepared by the Company.—lt is further
to be understood that this invitation is meant to extend gene-
rally to Ladies and Gentlemen of this neighbourhood, who, al-
though not Subscribers to the Canal, might feel inclined to he
present on the interesting occasion ; and we have to add that,
for the accommodation of those who might be desirous of re-
turning in the same manner, the vessels will leave Chichester
on the following day, at 12 o'clock, for Portsmouth.—( Hants
Telegraph.)

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 2I.—A Meeting was held
at the Exchange, on Tuesday, for the purpose of considering
the advantages to be derived by establishing Steam vessels be-
tween this Port and Portsmouth, on the completion of the
Arundel and Portsmouth Canal. It is calculated that the Canal
Barges will reach Portsmouth from London in finer days, and
allowing sufficient time for trans-shipment, the goods brought
by this conveyance may be delivered in this port, within one
week from their leaving London. To the. Fishermen of this
Port and Brixham, it offers facilities, by enabling them to supply
the markets of Portsmouth and the Metropolis, in a certain
time, at a very moderate rate; and to passengers, a safe, easy;
and expeditious conveyance, it being computed that thirty hours
only would be necessary to reach London from this place.

The Quarternioaf is now selling at Chiches-
ter,.by some bakers, at 6d.—(Brighton Herald.)
The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased
to extend the provisions of a recent Act, relieving wine and
spirits placed under bond for exportation from mment of the
duty on leakage to a certain extent, on all spirits and wines
that may be bonded in the warehouses and vaults situated on
the Wet Dock of Leith ; and as this beneficial indulgence,
which may, in some instances, be a saving to the trade of not
less than about 31. sterling per pipe, and as such extension on
the part of the Treasury has emanated from it quite unsolicit-
ed on the part of the merchants, we cannot forbear giving the
credit of it to the present worthy Chairman of the Board oil
Customs, who is now in London, and who, upon all-occasions,
shows a most commendable zeal to afford every facility to the
trade of Scotland, with a due regard to the safety of,th'e Re-
venu e.—( Edinburgh Courant.)
EXECUTION.—On Monday John Hqyzvood, for
the wilful murder of Elizabeth Impett, at Sellinge, in Septem-
ber last,. by shooting her in the side, was executed at Penenden
Math, in the presence of a large concourse of spectators. The
unhappy man was brought forth from the prison about eleven
o'clock in the forenoon, and escorted to the Ileatt by the usual
attendants. His appearance was that of extreme dejection and
most poignant grief, which had altered his countenance in a
very striking manner since his condemnation. He was so much
overcome by his dreadful situation, that he did not once raise
his eyes during the procession, but kept them immoveably
fixed on the ground, continually ejaculating " Lord have
mercy upon me ! Lord have mercy upon me !"--Mis agitation
and debility were so great at the fatal spot, that it became ne-
cessary to support him, whilst the awful apparatus was ad..
justed ; and after having spent a few minutes in prayer, he was
launched' into eternity. He did not make any confession at
the place of execution, but he dictated a letter to his mother
the preceding evening, in which he expressed his-deep contri-
tion for this and all other sins committed against the law of
God, and he trusted in the blood of Christ for forgiveness.
His body was delivered to the surgeons for dissection, aecord-
ing to his sentence. ,
