THE ARMY.

MOVEMENTS or 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 Pau:et, arrived at the Nine ms station on Tues-
day, having travelled by the South-Western Railway, and
immediately proceeded to W.edon, rid 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 of 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 69th 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.
Stu Enwsup PAGET.-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 Or JANUARY 23D, WITH GREAT AGONY AND
LAMENTATION.)
(From Punch.)
He has spoke out 'gains; protection, he has broken every

vow,
lie has spoke out 'gainst proizetion, and it's all up with us

now.
He cares not for his Hansard—ht's flung overboard the

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

tried—
They'd have been in a minority, upon the other side.
But with false reports they've won thee—it's enough to drive

one wild,
Those vile 'tater Commissioners, the Home-office beguiled.
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—and 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 never

We're all asking, " Did you ever? "—and all anmering,"No,

Farewell! Thus, thus, we sever !—lost, lost Robert reel

ROYAL JENNERIAN INSTITUTION.—The annual meet.;
ing was held on Wednesday, at the London Tavern, where
the chair was taken by George Trimmer, Esq. The audi-.
tors' report stated the amount of subscriptions during the
past year as 3731. 75.. whilst there was a present balance of
15/. 25. Sd., with debts, however, due of about 2201. The re-
port of the council stated that, in the present year, 6,066
persons had been vaccinated at the two stations.whilst lymph
had been distributed thr the vaccination of upwards of 30,000
others. Amongst other satisfactory letters, one was read
from Aden, stating 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.
