WINDSOR, JAN. 25.

(From the Windsor Express.)

The King will leave the Pavilion on the 3d of February,
and proceed to St. James's Palace, for the purpose of
opening the approaching Session of Parliament in person
on the following day ; and, as we have before stated, his
Majesty will remain four days in town, and then return to
Brighton, where the Court will remain till its final depar-
ture for the season, which is stated to be the 20th of next
month. Their Majesties will then proceed to London, and
will take up their residence at Windsor Castle on the lst
of March.

Both the King and Queen are in excellent health, and,
notwithstanding the bad weather of late, they have almost
daily taken their accustomed rides.
Our Royal neighbours, the Princess Augusta and Du-
chess of Gloucester, who are still at Brighton, are, we feel
pleasure in stating, in the enjoyment of good health.

THE ARMY.

(From the Limerick Chronicle.)

Detachments of the 58th, 60th, 86th, 89th, 95th, and
2d West India regiments, embarked on Wednesday on
board the Athol troop ship, lying in Plymouth, for a con.
veyance to Cork ; she will sail from thence for the West
Indies.

Ten or twelve privates of the 76th regiment, which
arrived in Cork from Buttevant last week for embarkation
for the West Indies, deserted—some of them during the
march, and some after their arrival. Five of them have
been retaken.

A troop of the 6th Dragoon Guards has been detached
from head-quarters at Dundalk to Monaghan.
On Wednesday last the detachment of the 27th Regi-
ment stationed in Ardara, under the command of Captain
Macpherson, marched into Ballyshannon ; the barracks in
Ardara being unroofed by the late storm, they could not
any longer remain there. _ _ _

A subaltern's detachment of the 27th has been ordered
from Omagh to Lifford.
This morning at eight o'clock the troops in garrison as-
sembled at the Castle barracks to witness the punishment
of two privates of the Royal Artillery, who received 200
lashes for a breach of the Articles of War.

This day Major-General Sir J. Douglas, K.C.8., made
a full inspection of that fine corps, the 85th King's Light
Infantry, and was pleased to express himself in terms of
approbation of the discipline and state in which he found
the Regiment.
On Saturday morning at eleven o'clock, Major-General
Sir John Buchan, K.C.8., accompanied by Major-General
Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, and a considerable staff, inspected
the troops in Cork garrison, in the barrack-square. The
troops, consisting of the 15th or King's Hussars, com-
manded by Lieut.-Colonel Lord Brudenell, the 70th, Col.
Evans, the 89th, Colonel Basden, and the 56th depot,
Major Mitchel, took up their position, and shortly after
the Gallant General entered, and was received with the
Royal salute, the bands striking up " God save the King."
He then went through the respective lines, which he scru.
tinized most minutely, after which the entire formed in
squares and passed the General in slow and quick time.
Lieut. Sandes has been appointed Acting Paymaster,
and Ensign Robinson, Acting Adjutant, to the depot com-
panies of the 9th Foot, now stationed at Youghal.

FItENCII SIGNS.-When folk now wish to
indicate that a thing is to be sold, they attach to it either
a bunch of straw or a cross of honour.—Le Corsaire.

A morning paper announces that " the Lord
Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas has appointed
Mr. Harcourt Firmin to be one of the perpetual commis-
sioners f.r the counties of Essex and Suffolk, for the taking
acknowledgments of the deeds of marriel women :"—this
assurance of prolonged life must be very satisfactory to the
gentleman in question, though somewhat alloyed, by re-
flection on the nature of the very difficult and delicate
duties he will be called to perform.
