THE ARMY.

(From tl,e Limerick Chronicle of Situiday.)

The case for the prosecute m in Capt. Watlien's Court-
martial closed on Thursday, after the examination of
Major Sir Walter Scott, whose evidence was decidedly the
most interesting and important of any witness yet pro-
duced.—The Court has adjourned to Monday next, when
Capt. Wathen will open his defence.
Thursd,y a route was received for the 37th depot com.-
•pa nies to leave this Garrison for Clare Castle, and accord-
ingly three romp 'tiles marched this morning for head-
goat tern, and Cwt. Costtey's company with Lieut. Morritt
to Kilrush. The 60th Hifle companies from the New
Barracks replace the 37th at the Castle Barracks, and
Caot. Crombie's company, 60th Riles, with Lieut.
Buckner, return to this garrison from Clare Castle.
The second and last division of the 85th regiment will
march into the New Barracks on Monday next from
Dutdin.

There has been a more tha❑ ordinary mortality in the
85th regiment, since their arrival in garri.,on, caused, no
doubt, by the fatigue and hardship of a I,,ng and distressing
march in most severe weather.

Ttie long-expeeted Marquis of Handy and Orestes
transports, with the depot of the 95th regiment, have at
leng h arrived at Cork ; the Romney and Athol troop
ships, with a large fleet of merchant vessels, were beating
into the harbour yesterday.
Tie paragraph relating to the reduction of the Militia
Stag'•, only applies to the Irish M litia, as orders have been
received by the adjutants of English Militia, from the
Army Pay-office, to forward estimates for the five ensuing
quarters ; a proof that the Administration have no imme-
diate intention to reduce this national force still lower than
at pre•ent.

During the past year the half-pay list of the Royal Ma-
rine Corps has been decreased by the death of three Major
Generals, ten Ciptains, four First Lieutenants, and three
Second Lieutenants. Three Captains and three Lieuten-
ants have been added to to the list. The saving to the
public by the decease of these officers is 2,8451. ; the Major
General having had 305., the Captains 75., First Lieu-
tenants 4s. 6d. per day, and the Second Lieutenants, 541.
per annum.

Some time ago a merchant in town received
an order from a customer in the island of Arren, fur a
variety of goods, amounting to some pounds—but as a
certain number of figures stood opposite his name in the
inner column of the merchant's ledger, without a corres-
ponding entry in the outer, or paid column, the order
was not fulfilled with that promptitude which the High-
landrnan expected, and was accustomed to on former occa-
sions. No further communication was received from him
till a letter, of which we subjoin a copy, was banded to
our friend the merchant by the letter-carrier :
.6 To Maister --, merchant, Ayr,—Sir, i rott yu 2
moots ago since fur diffterent artikls guds wich i spechifyd
wich you nott hay fordard. The last twine yu send wass
no twine att all—sbuist slack tow—but i hope the nixt
will beter, and yu will sent the guile i rott for 2 monts
ago by the furst boatt. But maybee yu thocht my Ist
letter a forge on yu_but it wass not, and to show you so,
i nou singe my zaaim fowr times, ass tlnder
