THE ARMY.

(From the Limerick Chronicle.)
The 28th regiment in this garrison received a letter
of readiness on Sunday to proceed to England, and the
route is hourly expected.
That distinguished regiment the 85th, or King's Light
Infantry, from Manchester, will replace the 28th in this
garrison. The 85th belongs to Lieut.-Gen. Sir Herbert
Taylor, First and principal Aide•de-Camp in ordinary to
his Majesty, and the corps is commanded by Col. War-
burton, with Major Frederick Maunsell, second in com-
mand, both natives of this city.
The detachment, of the 28th regiment, from Kilrush

Saturday next, preparatory to marching for Dublin, on
route to Liverpool for Manchester.
The Salamander, steam-frigate, arrived in Cork
harbour on Sunday from Guernsey, with the depot of the
96th regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel
White. She left Guernsey on Thursday, and with a
head wind blowing very hard she made her passage in
three days. The 96th were conveyed to Cork on Monday,
by the Waterloo and City of Cork steamers. They
marched to Kinsale yesterday to relieve the depot of the
56th, under the command of Major Mitchell, who are
to be quartered in Cork, and they relieve the 61st depot
who embarked this day, on board the Salamander for
Guernsey. Lieutenant-Colonel White is brother to the
Harbour Master of Cork, W. P. White, &q.
Tie second battalion of the Ist or Royal Regiment at
Glasgow is ordered to embark for Belfast, to replace the
52d or 68th Light Infantry in the north of Ireland, either

been appointed Lieut.-Governor of Jamaica, and will

(From the Liverpool Chronicle.)
On Thursday night and yesterday we were visited by
e hurricane equal in severity to those which occurred
about twelve mouths ago, and produced at that time
such deplorable effects. On Thursday the barometer fell
!never and more suddenly than it has been observed to do
for many tears Many masters of vessels which were
ready for sea consecpiently remained in dock, and the
event has shown the prudence of their conduct. In the
course of the afternoon the storm came on, and raged
with uncontrolled fury throughout the night. It attained
its greatest" height between nine and eleven o'clock yes-
terday forenoon, .but moderated towards last evening. It
Was high water at half_past twelve o'clock. The tide
''strould have risen eighteen feet, but we understand it
exceeded that altitude by about six feet, being the highest
tide known for several years. At this time the river
presented a very grand and interesting spectacle, the
water dashing over the pier_heads with alarming fury.
A good deal of damage was done in the ship-builders'
yards, loose spars, timber, boats; and in one instance, the
frame of a vessel being sweptaway. A number of boats and
a quantity of old timber belonging to Mr. Atherton, of
New Brighton, were also carried off. These materials
being borne along the tide, gave the river the appearance
of being covered with wreck, and the most alarming
reports of disasters among the shipping were speedily
circulated. We are happy to say, however, that those
rumours have not yet been confirmed by any of the
authentic accounts which have reached us. The only
vessel ascertained to be on shore is the Colchester, from
Tatmagouch for this port, which has gone to pieces in the
Ribble banks—crew saved. We fear, however, that
reports of other disasters may be expected to arrive in the
course of the day.
While the storm was at its height, all intercourse
between this and the Cheshire shore was sustAladed, the
atneners not daring to attempt the passage. The Abbey,
for Wexford, and the Nottingham, for Dublin, both
steamers, which had sailed on Thursday, Tilt back and
run into the Sloyne, but were unable to effect any com-
munication with the shore. The Levant Star, for
Waterford, also put back. In short, of a dozen vessels
which put to sea on Thursday, about one half have been
forced to return.
On the ebb of the tide, the river, in addition to the
wreck we have mentioned, was covered with trees, grass,
and other indications that the country above Runcorn had
been inundated either by the encroachments of the tide or
by heavy floods from above.
In the course of the day, several of the principal ship-
ping houses sent off men on horseback along the coast.
They returned in the evening much exhausted, but with
the cheering accounts that no vessels had been cast ashore
within the range of their journey.
We need scarcely say that many of the vessels in the
docks have sustained partial injury from " dashing against
themselves, as Mr. Crooke would express it.
In the town there were abundant indications of the
violence of the storm, in the slates, bricks, chimney-pots,
arc., with which the streets were strewed. Several persons
were more or less injured by the falling materials, hut we
have heard of no fatal or very serious accidents. Several
'ands of a wall in Moorfields were blown down, and we
understand- a butcher's boy who was paoiing was slightly
hurt. Part of the palisading which endures the Zaologic el
Gardens was also torn away, and the coping stones of a
house erecting in flyeeia-street, in that neighhouthood,
were literally blown off. It would be endless, however,
to enumerate all the instances of damage of this sort which
have been sustained.
