THE ARMY.
CHATHAM, Dancrt 13.--The officers and men of the
Royal Engineer Establishment, under Colonel Sit.
Frederick timith, K. 11., commenced field-work opera.
tions for the season yesterday morning on their usual
ground, the Lower Lines at Chatham. Some expert•
ments took place in the breaking of a stockade and
blasting brick walls, and among other spectators present
was Capt. William Peel, R.N. (son of Sir Robert Pitei).
who is here for the purpose of gaining information int
engineering.
KILKENNY, MARCH 13.—The Kilkenny Moderator
says—" The route for India is every day expected by
the 75th Regiment. Yesterday Major-General Mac-
Donald inspected the regiment, when he selected the in-
valids to be discharged preparatory to the departure of
the corps on foreign service. The gallant general was
subsequently entertained at a dejeiiner by Col. Halifax and
the officers. The company which arrived from Wexford
on Saturday last seems to have introduced the cholera to
the military barracks here. A corporal and his wife„
belonging to that company, died of the disease on Sun-
day; and a brother to the corporal, also a soldier of the,
Wexford detachment, has since been attacked by the
epidemic."
It would appear from the following, which is given by
the Cork Constitution, that reductions are still being car-
ried out:—" Saturday morning, the 26th Cameronians,
stationed in this garrison, received positive orders that
the proposed reductions should be carried immediately
into effect; consequently the authorities are now busily
employed in making discharges for upwards of 250 men,
who are t.) be discharged in the barracks in two or three
days' time. The 41st Regiment, stationed at Buttevant,
has received by the same post similar directions. To..
morrow eighty-six rank and file, with one lieutenant and
one assistant-surgeon of the 83d Regiment, will embark
on board the Ursula transport, under command of Cap-
tain llenry Lloyd, for conveyance to Bombay."

THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.
Most commonly in operatic engagements the last
evening's performance is for the benefit of either the
prima donna, the prima uomo, or the manager; but it has
not been so announced in this instance. The benefits are
all over; the theatre has closed till Easter, and the last
night's performance (that of last evening) was tinder
especial command for the entertainment of their Excel-
lencies, and the Viceregal household. There was, on
the whole, a good audience—rather thin at first—and
the box circle looked somewhat dim at the period of the
entrance of the Viceregal party; but the house gradually
filled in as the opera proceeded, and at half-price tho
audience might be called crowded. The opera selected
was the Crown Diamonds. We have before spoken at
length of this opera, as rendered in the English libretto.
and as presented by this operatic company. There
seemed more care in the preparation; the accessoz7
parts were better fitted—the costumes more gorgeous.--
and the stage arrangements, perhaps, more brilliant than
on the previous representation of this opera. Harrison 'etas
in glorious voice; there seemed in his rendering of the
duet pieces an increase of melody, and of sustaining
power, whilst in the solo passages he sung with a style
and sweetness calculated to keep him in the pleased and
grateful memory of all love's of true music. In, the ex-
quisite air—" Ah whisper what thou feelest "—scarcely
were the first bars of the accompaniment heard when a
general hush of expectation pervaded the house; the
silence would have been all that could be wished for the
perfect hearing of this sweet melody, were it not for the
ill-timed arrival of the half-prices, who would slam the
doors to the manifest annoyance of the rest of the audi-
ence. The song was given beautifully and in the truest
taste, and from the Viceroy to the remotest occupantof
the galleries, the plaudits were general and enthusiastic.
The air was encored, and again rewarded with the ap-
plause the talented singer so well deserved. Miss Ram-
forth was peculiarly happy in her personation of the
rather difficult role of Katrina. She was encored heartily
in the aria soprano, "Love dwell with me;" and in the
ductto passages she was most pleasingly sweet and cor-
rect. She was well supported by Miss Mason. Corti
was as usual effective and in fine voice, and Borrani
evinced his usual correct style. The afterpiece of No
Song no Supper concluded the performances, with an
intervening dance by Mademoiselle Adele—the Adele
Walt; a pretty mcgo, composed by Mr. Levey. The fair
danseuse was loudly applauded. Harrison gave " The
Bay of Biscay, 0 " in the afterpiece with fine effect.
He was moat heartily encored. At the end of the per-
formances (as in the beginning) the company chanted
the National Anthem with the usual running accompani-
ment of faint cheers and loud hisses, amidst which, the
Viceregal party withdrew. We should have mentioned,
that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress
(Miss O'Brien), were present, as was also the Lord
Chancellor. On being recognised they were heartily
cheered.—Freeman's Journal, March 6.

TUB LATE GALES. —FALMOUTH, MARCEL 10.--•
Among the casualties to shipping, occasioned by the
recent severe gales, we have to record the follow-
ing:—The barque Isabella, of Dundee, Captain Small,
bound from Alexandria to this port for orders, and
which arrived here yesterday, reports, when in
latitude 44 9 N., and longitude 11 12 W.,
_hiltlg

bell, medicine chest, four muskets, a bolt of canvass,
and cabin
a plaster-of-Paris figure, together with some
beef and bread. The two latter articles were consumed,
and the farmer were delivered, on arrival, into the
custody of Messrs. Broad and Sons, the receivers
of droits. A package, at first supposed to be a mail-
bag, was also found on board, and brought on shore
for delivery to the authorities; but, on being opened
by the collector, it was discovered, instead of letters,
to contain garments stained with blood. As a con.
solar seal was, on closer inspection, observed to be at-
tached to the bag, it is concluded that a prisoner, guilty
of some criminal act, was a passenger on board the ves•
sel. This supposition is strengthened from the fact of
instructions having been sent out to the civil authorities
in this port, in reference to such an expected arrival ;
and the Lord Collingwood is surmised to have been
from the Mediterranean, and bound to this port for
orders.
