THE ARMY.

(From the Limerick Chronicle.)
On the 7th of J.lntra,y next, the first division of the
85th, or King's Light lof ,ntry, will arrive in this garrison.
They emb •rk on the 26th in.t. at Liverpool.
Major-General Sir John Buchan, in command of the
Athlone district, is ;ippoMted President of the Court Mar-
-641 to assemble at Cork, On Munch), next, for the trial of

Captain Wathen, 15th Hussars.
The head-quarters and five companies of the 30th Re
giment are now stationed at Galway, under the command
of Major Robinson. The remaining five companies are
dispersed throughout the counties of Mayo .ind Galway.
It is officially announced that the precedent laid down
at the reduction of the militia staffs in 1629, will be ad
hexed to in the contemplated reduction of this force. The
9th section, 10th George IV., chap. 29, grants a regu-
lated daily pay or reduction to certain officers, according to
length of service in the "embodied" militia; the highes,
rate of pay is for a service of ten years and upwards; n. xt
under ten and not less than three years; the lowest rate
for three years and under; all service bears date during
the time the militia were embodied. The 29th section of
the above Act regulates the pay of adjutants, appointed
after the 24th December, 1814, who, after serving thirty
years, can retire, from ill health, on an allowance of 6s.
per day. By the intended reduction, a saving of 6,5001.
per annum will be made for the allowance for store rent to
the militia staffs of the United Kingdoms. In furtherance
of this arrangement, a General Order or Circular from the
War-office has been addressed to Colonels of the Irish
Militia, desiring that such a return should immediately be
transmitted of the clothing and necessaries, stores, and
accoutrements, as well as the ages and services of the ad-
jutant and non-commissioned officers of the disembodied
staff of each corps.

Another melancholy shipwreck took place on
Saturday afternoon on the bar at the extreme entrance of
Boulogne hartnmr. The ship was a Norwegian, called the
Haabets Anker, Captain Burn, laden with iron and steel,
and was driven ashore during a heavy gale from the north-
west. As 110013 as her distressing situation was observed
four pilot-hosts were dragged down to low water, and
manned by seamen, but all their exertions proved fruitless,
the surf was so great they could :Jot get near the vessel.
The crew, 12 in number, were observed by 6,000 persons
for near two hours clinging to the bowsprit with the sea
running over them ; at length the rising tide overwhelmed
the vessel (which had been waterlogge l from a quarter of
an hour alter she had struck), and hurled the unfortunate
crew into watery grave.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT NOTTINGHAM.
—About one o'clock on Tuesday, as Mrs. Payne, the wife
of Mr. Payne, attorney, Park, Nottingham, was returning
from the town, when she got into the rope-walk, the
force of the wind tin ew down the wall upon her, and so
dreadfully injured her that she died in five minutes after
the fatal occurrence took place. A boy, 16 years of age,
was a witness to this unfortunate catastrophe, and gives
the following account of it :—" I and another boy, named
William Mozley, were playing at jumping, on the Park
Hill, this morning, from eleven until one o'clock, when
the wind blew very hard, and blew up some sand, and we,
to avoid it, ran behind Mr. Wallis's garden-wall. I heard
something, apparently under my feet, crack, and the wall

buried, and I went to her and saw her handkerchief bag,
which I took hold of and pulled, and her right arm came
up out of the rubbish in consequence of my pulling. 11"
body was entirely covered with bricks, and she lay on her
side with her face towards her own hou,e, and her Ilea,'
lay towards the Derby-road. I saw the bricks taken ofi
her, and her body placed in a chair, and seeing a great
quantity of blood I felt sick and came away. She
breathed once after I got the bricks from her head.
