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, 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.

'I be military movements have latterly been somewhat brisk.
SIR EDWARD 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 Aright,
where he is still staying. The latest accounts received yes-
terday left but very slight hopes his recovery..

vow,
He has spoke out 'gainst protection, and it's all up with us
now.

He cares not for his Hansard—he'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 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 other side.
But with false reports they've won thee—it's enough to drive
one wild,
Those vile 'tater Commissioners, the Ilome-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
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 ne'er
forget,
That with curry-powder, beans, and starch, poor folks might
manage yet.
We're all asking, "Did you ever?"—and all answering,"No,
we never :"
Farewell ! Thus, thus, we sever !—lost, lost Robert Peel!

THE LATE POACHING AFFRAY AT HILLSDON.---011
Monday last Thomas Stokes and John Adams, both of Bar-
ton Hartshorn, were charged at Buckingham, before E.
Dewes, Esq., and the Rev. William Andrews, with having
on the night of the 17th instant, at Hillsdon, been found
armed with a gun and a bludgeon, in search of game, and
with having beat and assaulted George Bridger and James
Cadd, the Duke of Buckingham's gamekeepers. It appeared
that on the night in question, the: keepers heard firing, as
they thought, in a shinney near Mr. Line's, of Hillsdon; that
Bridger sent some of his men in the direction of the firing
and that he (Bridger) and Cadd, waited at a place c"!
Preston Corner, where he thought it was likely the poachers
c
would come. At about eleven o'clock three meni pp

THE LATE COLLISION ON TIIE RIVER. The colli-
sion which took place in December last, beta eon the Eme-
rald, Diamond Company's packet, and thejohn Bull, Steam
Navigation Company's packet, will, it is said, lead to a legal
collision between the two companies, the last-mentioned
having rejected the compromise offered by the first, to have
the damage to the Emerald repaired, each company paying
half the cost of it, the Steam Navigation Company alto-
, gether denying that their vessel was in the wrong.
