TH E ARMY.

The Review and Inspection of the 17th Lancers, stationed in
Canterbury, which was fixed for Thurday, did not take place
until Saturday. About eleven o'clock this fine Regiment, un-
der the command of Colonel the lion. Lincoln Stanhope, drew
up in the Military Field adjoining the' Barracks in Review
Order, when the Inspecting General of Cavalry, Lord R. E.II.
Somerset, attended by his noble brother Lord John-Somerset,
rode into the field, the band striking up "God save the ,1174"
After close inspection, the Regiment went through their mtli-
tary evolutions in fine style, and with surprising exactness.
We understand his Lordship expressed himself highly gratified
with their military appearance, and their tine discipline, as also
of the good condition of their horses. The grand military band
of the Lancers ►performed a number of favourite marches, and
military airs. The morning was extremely unfavourable, ow-
ing to the drizzling rain, which made the grass very slippery,
and accounted for the thin attendance of spectators.—( entes4

A dreadful occurrence took place yesterday
morning, about eleven o'clock, in consequence
of a trilling dispute between two men in the em-
ployment of Mr. DARBY, builder, in the Five
Fields, Chelsea ; one a stone-sawyer, of the name
of J. Bishop, and the other an Irishman, a brick-
layer's labourer. The contention arose as to who
should he first supplied with water from the
pump. Bishop suceeded in placing his pail, and,
was in the act of pumping, with his back turned
to his opponent, who, taking an assassin-like ad-
vantage of his position, seized a hoe, with which
they mix mortar, anti gave him a tremendous
blow on his head. It penetrated through his hat,
and inflicted a dreadful wound on the top of
the head. • The poor man, who is only about 22
year; of age, was instantly conveyed to the
Westminster Infirmary, in a very precarious
state. Through the anxiety that prevailed to
render assistance to the poor sufferer, the perpe-
trator of the horrid deed made his escape. At a
late hour we made inquiries, and understood that •
his life was in the most imminent danger.—
