THE ARMY.

The 2d division of the 12th Lancers will arrive At Brighton
this day from Ireland.
One hundred and 'sixty men have been already raised from
the Pensioners belonging to Chelsea Hospital for the three
Veteran Companies, which are destined for the garrison of
New coo ntliand. _ _

leer Earn a p itrostastalr.-0a Monday last, the troop be-
longing to this regiment, commanded. by I). Gillespie, Esq. of
Kiticton, met their worthy Captain at Alountquhanie-house,
and partook of a sumptuous dinner, prepared for the occasion.
The Earl of Leven and Melville, and several of Mr. Gillespie's
friends were present, and it is unnecessary to say, that the day
was spent in the most cordial and happy manner. If any thing
damped the enjoyment of the party, tt was the announcement
-by Mr. Gillespie of his intention to resign his commission as
Captain of the troop, which he had held for nearly 2f, years,
on it Velnint of the state of his health, which prevented his re-
gular attendance with them when on duty. The sorrow ex-
pressed at this intimation, and the regret for the cause which
rendered it necessary, were as general as they were sincere, and
must have been very gratifying to Mr. Gillespie. We under.
stand that Lord Leven baa been requested to take the command
of the troop.—(E (lb:burgh Observer, Aug. 134

like conduct, m being drunk, disorderly, anti creating a crowd
in the High Street, on the night of Sunday last, and drawing
his bayonet on some of the inhabitants.' --,Several witnesses
wen! examined, acid front their testimony it appeared that the
soldiers wort.tiot the sggressors, but were in tact assailed by a
tnunbcr of idle and disorderly persons, rind but for the appear-
-100 of the pollee would have been seriously maltreated-. It
was farther- proved, that. the bayonet of • one of the soldiers
(Cameron) was not drawn, but had fallen out in•the struggle
with some of the mob. The Court, after considering the evi-
dence, unanimously acquitted the prisoner, which was approved
of and confirmed by 'Colonel Du matt.-L-(Bilinbargl, Courant,

To Tourists, GRAY'S BOOK OF ROADS, just
pilbliShea, will be room!' a very nsefill compa-
nion, possessing, us it does, peculiar features of
utility and ready reference. For instance, it

route leading to any required point of distance,

direct and immediate reference to tiny required
route, at whatever principal town or watering-
place the traveller may happen to be; nn im-
portant feature, which has long been wanted in
Itineraries. Another, and not its least recom-
mendation is, that it is compressed within the
limits of a .pocket volume, added to which, its
gement plan renders it a very useful auxiliary to
other road books, without any attempt to super-
sede them. Price .7s. half bound, or, with a com-
plete set of County Maps, including an enlartted
