THE ARMY.

(From the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday.)
Lieutenant-General Sir H. Vivian inspected the 7th Dra-
goon Guards on Saturday last, at head-quarters. The Lieu-
tenant-General made his appearance in the exercise field near
Caper barracks, a few minutes after one o'clock, accompanied
by Lady Vivian, the Earl Glengall and Countess, the Ladies
Thynne, Lady King, and several other distinguished persons.
Their arrival was announced by a flourish of trumpets, and
" God save the King " by the splendid band of the corps, after
which the Lieutenant-General inspected the regiment in line,
and expressed his entire approbation of the healthy and soldier-
like appearance of the men. After the field day had termi-
nated, the General expressed himself in the warmest manner
to the Commanding Officer for the high state of discipline of
the regiment under his command, and proceeded to the Offi-
cers' mess-room with his suite, where he partook of a splen-
did thjeuner prepared on the occasion. The Lieutenant-Ge-
neral inspected the mess-rooms, messes, school, hospital, &c.,
and expressed his approbation of the,manner in which those
departments were conducted, as well as the general economy
of the regiment.
On Monday last Major-General Sir J. Douglas, K. C. 8.,
inspected, in the New Barrack-square, the squadron of the
7th Dragoon Guards, under the command of Captain Bolton,
stationed in this garrison.
The 18th Regiment has given the following detachments
from head-quarters in this garrison :—Two companies to New-
castle, under Major Pratt and Captain Dillon, with Lieute-
nants Grattan and Payne. One to Rathkeale, under Captain
Graves, with Lieutenant Mitford. One to Killaloe, under
Captain Lynar, with Ensign Hon. C. Stratford ; and one to
Tipperary, under Captain Huddleston, and Ensign Hon. H.
Hare.

A garrison courtmartial, Major Doran, 18th Regiment, Pre-
sident, assembled at the New Barracks on Monday, for the trial
of such military offenders as may come before them.
Captain Sir W. Lynar, 18th, arrived this morning from
Killoloe, to attend a courtmartial on two privates.
Colonel Williams, Inspecting Field Officer of the Southern
Recruiting District, arrived yesterday in this garrison, on a
tour of inspection.
The following officers left the army last week :—Lieutenant
Story, 37th; Lieutenant Jackson, 75th; Ensign Gillespie,
78th ; Captain Mathias, 79th ; and Ensign Earls, 97th
Regiment.
Four hundred Chelsea, and one hundred Kilmainham,
veterans have this week received their quarterly pensions in
the Limerick district.
. Three companies of the 2d battalion Ist (or Royal) Regi-
ment left Dublin on Monday, and two companies yesterday,
for Athlone ; the head-quarter division will shortly follow to
Athlone to relieve the 14th Regiment, which is under orders
to proceed to Mullingar. Upon the arrival of the 14th Regi-
ment at Mullingar the 27th will march for Dublin.
The 81st regiment of foot has been relieved by the 91st,
from this garrison, and marched from Birr in three divisions,
on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last, on route for
Dublin. The entire corps, under Lieut.-Colonel Maclean,
will not be concentrated in Richmond Barracks before the 23d
instant, as its numerous detachments distributed through King's
and Queen's Connties, and county Galway, cannot possibly be
relieved by the 91st regiment for some days to come. The
Grenadier company, with its officers, Captain Etridge and
Lieutenants Howe and Gilby, have been detached at Bana-
gher for some considerable space, and marched from thence to
Dublin on Monday last. It was with infinite regret that the
81st regiment left Birr, where they had been quartered for
the last 18 months ; and this regret was responded to with
much sincerity by its inhabitants, whose social hearths were
pleasantly familiar to the martial and de maison.
Major-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot inspects the depot
companies of the 70th regiment at Cork this day, after inspect-
ing the 9th depot at Youghal.
Wednesday the depot of the 22d Regiment, stationed at
Hull, under command of Major Pennefather, were reviewed at
the citadel, by Major-General Sir H. F. Bouverie, K. C. 8.,
who expressed a high opinion of the state of discipline in which
he found the troops.
The 82d Regiment are to land at Belfast in a few days from
Glasgow.
The 96th depot are mentioned as likely to leave Kinsale for
Tralee shortly.
Thursday the 3d Dragoon Guards underwent' their half-
yearly inspection in the Royal Barracks, Dublin, by Sir Ed-
ward Blakeney ; their fine appearance and internal economy
elicited the gallant General's approbation, which was not un-
sparingly given.

Joseph Esq., M.P., with his son, took their
departure this Hume,morning for Rotterdam in the General Steam
Navigation Company's mail packet Earl of Liverpool.
We understand that the Lord-Lieutenant has de-
clined to comply with the requisition of the mamistrates of
Tipperary, resident in the barony of Clanwilliam, ?or the pro-
clamation of that barony under the Insurrection Act, as it is
thought right to wait and ascertain whether a diminution in
the amount of outrage, which has lately been observed, may
rot continue, and prevent the necessity of a recurrence to ex-
raordinary powers—Dublin Post.

At present Scotch dresses, plaids, tartans, &c., are
all the rage in Paris. Scotch ribands are also worn in the
caps, both within doors and outside when promenading.
