THE ARMY.

There is very good reason to believe, from information
which transpired on Saturday last, that second bat-
talions will be added to the under-mentioned regiments,
being next on the registry for foreign service :—The
6th, Bth, 24th, 32d, 36th, 37th, 56th, and 69th, all, of
course, infantry. On this arrangement being carried
out, each regiment will receive the addition of one lieu-
tenant-colonel, one major, eight captains, and 16 sub-
alterns. _

4TH DRAGOONS.—Lord George Paget is now Major
of the 4th Light Dragoons. Lieutenant-Colonel Daly

honourable service of thirty-four years. He served in
the American, the Peninsular, and the late Affghanis-
tan wars. He also served under the late Lord Keane,
at the siege and capture of Ghuznee. Major Sculley
has been promoted to the lieutenant-colonelcy. Lord
Alfred Churchill, son to the Duke of Marlborough, has
been promoted to a lieutenancy in this corps, which he
joined in 1842,
RIFLE BRIGAME.— On Wednesday last the companies
of the first battalion of this regiment, which have been
on duty in Dublin for some time, left in one of the City
of Dublin Steam-packet Company's vessels for Liverpool,
which place they reached on the following clay. On the
next morning (Friday) they proceeded to London, yid
the Grand Junction and Birmingham Railways, arriving
in town the same evening. Saturday and yesterday they
