THE ARMY.

The fith (or the King's Royal Irish) Regiment of Light
Dragoons (Hussars), which recently arrived at Romford from
Ipswich, will, it is understood, keep the ground on the day cf
the grand cavalry review at Hounslow.

The 2d (or the Queen's Royal) regiment of infantry, will,
on the arrival of the 31st (Huntingdonshire) Regiment of Foot
at Portsmouth, from Dublin, march to Chatham.

The pens'ons to the widows of the Commissariat, clue the
24th instant, are now in course of payment at the Treasury
Chambers, WhitehalL

A detachment of recruits marched from the Recruiting De.
partment, Westminster, on Friday last, for Portsmouth and
the Isle of Wight.

RIFLE PnAcTicE.—A detachment of the Yagers of the
Hon. Artillery Company will march early to-morrow morning,
from London, and proceed to the New Practice-ground of
the Royal Artillery, Woolwich, for the purpose of rifle prac-
tice, at very extended ranges.

TOWER flamLETs.—The Officers of the 2d Royal Tower
Hamlets Regiment held their annual dinner on the 26th inst.,
at the Green Man, Bethnal-green, where they partook of an
excellent dinner, and circulated Mr. Newman's best wines
very freely until a late hour. Many good songs were sung, and
loyal toasts and sentiments were drank upon the occasion, and
the day being particularly fine, a great concourse of people
assembled on the green. The band of that regiment, among
whom are several of the first musicians in Eng-and, considerab:y
added to the joyous gaiety of the scene by their numerous mar.
tial airs particularly by the matchless excellency of their key
buglernen. The utmost cordiality appeared to prevail among
the Officers. In consequence of some Police Reports colleen-
ing a Mr. Jepson, who was said to belong to the ;rower II am-
, lets, it may be necessary to state that no such person has ever
belonged to that Regiment.
LIVERPOOL, JUNE 26.—The 6th Dragoon Guards landed
here yesterday, from Dublin.
COLONEL tslofITTI.-111 consequence of further economical
arrangements in the staff of the army, the office of Brigt,e-
-m 'jot to the Glasgow District, ceased on the 24th of this
month, and Lieut.-Colonel Smith of the Rifles, who has
the office for about four years, of course leares us. We would
eagerly embrace this opportunity of bearing testimony to the
judgment and efficacy of this excellent officer, but the follow-
ing document, of which we have procured a copy, carries far
more weight with it than any thing we could say upon the
occasion:—

•
" At Glasgow, 3d day of June, 1824.
" The Magistrates and Council Pf Glasgow, being in Council
assemble&

" On the motion of the Lord Provost, they unanimously
vote their thanks to Lieutenant-Colonel H. G. Smith, bri-
g,de Major of this District ; and Resolve thus publicly to,ex-
press the high sense they entertain of his character as a Soldier
and a Gentleman, and of the important services rendered
by him to this community, in not only affording his aid to the
Civil Power on all occasions during !us residence in Glasgow,
with polite and zealous attention ; but also, particularly, in
having materially contributed, by his energetic exertions, dur-
ing a period of difficulty and insubordination, towards the pre.
serration of public tranquillity in this part of the empire."--
