THE ARMY.

In conformity with a recent order to the army in Ha-
nover, the hussar regiments are to be converted into regi-
ments of light dragoons. The Royal Hussars, which here-
tofore formed the Ist regiment, are to be called " The
King's Dragoons the 2d is to be styled " The Queen's
Own ;" and the 3d, " The Duke of. Cambridge's Dra-
goons."
On Thursday a squadron of the 17th Lancers, consisting
of Captains Kean and Shawe's troops, marched into Ches-
terfield, on their route from Hounslow barracks, and on
Friday morning proceeded to occupy the barracks at Shef-
field. Leeds is to be the head-quarters of the regiment.

(From the Limerick Chronicle.)
A squadron and head-quarters of the 4th Dragoon
Guards march from Caher on Monday next for Ballincollig,
under Colonel Chatterton, and they will arrive there on
the Wednesday following.
The 85th Light Infantry yesterday went to the field in
summer dress, white trousers, rather light wear so early in
the season. A company of the 85th, from this garrison,
marched to Newcastle West this day.
Colonel Holloway, C. 8., with the commanding officer
of Engineers in this garrison, and barrack master, made
an inspection and survey of the several ordnance buildings
in Limerick, including the Artillery-square, Castle Bar-
racks, S. John's, and New Barracks. The lieutenant-
colonel this day proceeded to Templemore for the like
purpose, and it is supposed with a view to recommend se-
veral barracks for consolidation in the S.W. district.
Captain Tinling, royal engineers, from Woolwich re-
places Captain Walker, royal engineers, in this garrison.
The sth Dragoon Guards, and 80th regiment, from
Dublin, left Liverpool on Tuesday for Manchester and
Oldham.;
On Tuesday evening four companies of the 59th regi-
ment, from Dublin' embarked on board the Thames
steamer for Liverpool. The embarkation of the remaining
companies has been countermanded for the present, and it
is probable they. will return to their quarters at Naas.
The 83d regiment, although on board transports this
week past at Cove, has not sailed for Halifax, Nova Scotia,
in consequence of the alarm of disturbances in England.
At present the troops at Buttevant are the 51st depot
under the command of Major Ross, 76th depot, commanded
by Major Hutchinson, and a detachment of the 7th Dra-
goon Guards under Lieut. Blake. Major Ross, as senior
Major, is commandant of the garrison.
The 7th Dragoon Guards have got the route from
Ballincollig for Caher and this garrison, to replace
the 4th Dragoon Guards. Two troops of the 7th
will arrive here on Thursday next, under the command
of Major Nugent, to succeed the squadron of the
4th in this garrison, commanded by Major Rickaby.
The 7th Dragoon Guards are one of the oldest cavalry
regiments in the service, and singular to say, per-
haps the only one in the British army that was not
engaged in the late war. The regimental facings are
black and gold. The officers of the regiment are Colonel
Commandant, Lieut.-General Sir Robert Bolton ; Lieut.
Colonel Clark; Majors Gowdie and Nugent; Captains
Curteis, Bishop, Bolton, Atkinson, Thewles, and Rich-
ardson ; Lieutenants Hickman ( Adjutant), Le Marchant,
Cunynghame, Gibsone, Hunter, Sandilands, and Blake ;
Cornets Holmes, Lucas, Thompson, Lord Viscount Kil-
coursie, Codrington, Peters, and Clark ; Paymaster Hun-
ter ; Quartermaster Johnson ; Surgeon Cathcart, Assist-
ant-Surgeon Barry, Veterinary Surgeon Schroeder.
The rumour respecting the removal of the Ordnance
Storekeeper and Barrack-master, William Blackwell, Esq.
from Duncannon Fort, is without foundation.

A full company of the 90th Light Infantry, from Kil-
kenny, under Lieutenant James, has marched by a sudden
route to Carlow, and another company to 3laryborough,
to replace the 59th regiment.
