THE ARMY.

MOVEMENTS OF THE TROOPS.—Late in the past week the
68th (Durham) Regiment of Foot received orders to march
forthwith from Portsmouth. The destination of the corps
being Weedon barracks, six companies, commanded by Lord
William Paulet, arrived at the Nine Elms station on Tues-
day, having travelled by the South-Western Railway, and
immediately proceeded to Weedon, ski the London and Bir-
mingham line. The remaining four companies, under the
guidance of Major Huey, reached town yesterday afternoon,
and proceeded by the same route to the place o(their desti-
nation. A body of troops can thus accomplish in a few
hours a distance by railway which otherwise would have in-
volved nearly ten days' march. The 68th were relieved at
Portsmouth by the 74th Highland Regiment, which left
Gosport, being replaced in that district by the 3d (East
Kent) Buffs, from Winchester. The C9th leave Weedon, now
occupied by the 68th, and proceed to Leeds, replacing the
59th, which proceed to Ireland. The 2d Queen's Royals
have arrived at Chichester from Chatham. _ _

'1 he military movements have latterly been somewhat brisk.
SIR EDWARD PAGRT.-It is with feelings of the deepest
regret that we announce the declining health of General Sir
Edward Paget, Governor of Chelsea Hospital, and Colonel of
the 28th Regiment of Foot, now in India. He lately pro-
ceeded, in company with Lady Paget, to the Isle of Wight,
where he is still staying. The latest accounts received yes-
terday left but very slight hopes his recovery.
The Lieutenant-Governor of Chelsea Hospital, Sir W. H.
Clinton, has also been dangerously ill, but is now much better.

SONG OF , THE COUNTRY
GENTLEMAN.

(AS SUNG ON JANUARY 23D, WITH GREAT AGONY AND
LAMENTATION.)
(From Punch.)
He has spoke out 'gainst protection, he has broken every
vow,
He has spoke nut 'gainst protection, and it's all up with us
now.
He cares not for hig Hansard—he's flung overboard the

Peers,
He has told us he don't care fig for us or for our fears.
Oh! was it well to leave us, to bumbug and deceive us?
Such conduct is most grievous—lost, lost Robert Peel !
Had it been but Lord John Russell, to bear it we'd have

tried—
They'd have been in a minority, upon the pther aide.
But with false reports they've won thee—it'S enough to drive
one wild,
Those vile 'tater Commissioners, the Home-officd
Your speech may have been clever, but we'll not; excuse
thee—never
So it's no use to endeavour—lost, lost Robert Peel !
I shall never trust another— wad he'll carry it too, they say'---
If the British Lion don't roar out—l grieve to think he
may.
Confound those Dukes for saying, what the world will ne'er
forget,
That with curry-powder, beans, and starch, poor folks might
manage yet.
We're all asking, "Did youl ever ?"—and all answering, "No,
we never:"—
Farewell ! Thus, thus, we sever I—lost, lost Robert Peel !

ROYAL JENNERIAN INSTITUTION.—The annual meet-
ing was held on Wednesday, at the London Tavern, when
the chair was taken by George Trimmer, Esq. The audi-
tors' report stated the amount of subscriptions tiering the
past year as 373/. 75., whilst there was a present ba.lance of
151. 2s. Bd., with debts, however, due of about 2201. 'Me re-
port of the council stated that, in the present year, 6,066
persons had been vaccinated at the two stations, whilst lympi:
had been distributed for the vaccination of upwards of 30,000
others. Amongst other satisfactory letters, one was read
from Adenotating the efficacy of the lymph supplied from
the society, both amongst the troops and Arabs, after the
ordinary sources of supply had failed. The society also took
credit for having perpetuated a supply of pure lymph since its
establishment in 1806.
