THE ARMY.

(From the Ke6o Mail.)
Major-General Sir John Cameron, K. C. 8.; has
returned from a temporary leave of absence, and' re-
sumed the command of the Plymouth garrison and the
western district.

On Friday last a troop of the 7th Hussars ( Queen's
Own) maiched into this town on- their-route from
Glasgow to Newcastle, and proceeded on their march
on Saturday, when they were succeeded by another
troop, which left this morning. Other two troops are
expected here in the course of the week.
(From the Pmerick Chronicle.)
Captain Bolton's and Captain Thewles' troops of
the 7th Dragoon Guards, from Cork, arrived in this
garrison on Thursday, under the command of Major
Nugent, with Lieutenants Hunter, Sandilands, and
Assistant-Surgeon Barry. Captain Thewles' troop
is quartered in the New Barracks, and Captain Bol-
ton's in the Artillery Barracks. ,
_ _ _

Major Rickaby, and Captain Makepeace's trooop of
the 4th Dragoon Guards, marched hence on Thursday
for Cork, head-quarters.
The stay of the squadron of the 7th Dragoon
Guards in this garrison is only temporary, as the 3d
Dragoon Guards from England, under Major George
Maunsell, will replace them here in a few weeks.
A company of the 36th regiment, from Nenagh,
under Lieutenant Primrose, attended a horse race at
Carney, about six miles distant, on Wednesday last,
where crowds of country people had assembled, and a
riot was apprehended. Under the precautions taken,
no disturbance arose.
The result of the Court of Inquiry held at Dublin
upon a captain of infantry in this district, is, that he
must retire from the army, but allowing him to dis-
pose of his commission by sale.
The 27th regiment at Enniskillen, have now the
following detachments :—Major Maclean, at Bally-
shannon ; Captain Johnstone, at Belturbet ; Captain
Sleator, at Omagh ; Captain Fulton, at Ardara ;

Cork the arrival of a transport to convey them to Ha-
lifax, Nova Scotia.

and Captains Houston and Bowles, from Malta, ar-

The— prisoner—No sich a thing. The carman ups
with his fist and gives me a precious lick, and no mis-
take, for jist nothing but walking along the street.
The LORD MAYOR-What have you been doing
since you Were here before ?
Prisoner—Doing ? Nothing bad, howsomdever.
Several of the police said that the unfortunate little
wretch was always on the look out, and nothing was
too hot or too h4avy for him. - He had been, on a for-
mer occasion, found robbing the till of .a tradesman,
into, whose shop he had crept from, the street-upon all
fours, so that the shopman, who was in the parlour,
could not see 'Aim until notice was given from outside.
_Prisoner—That's all gone bz, please you, my Lord.
To be sure I was found in the strop of Mr. Clarke,
but I never did nothing wrong since. Let me go
now, and I'm all abroad if ever you set your eyes on
me again. Never no more.
Policeman—My Lord, it would take a couple of us
to be after him every day.
Prisoner—Stuff. I don't want you to be arter me.

I can do w ery well without any of Your sort.'_
The LORD MAYOR—You have been frequently here,
and always for some serious offence, and I see that
you are growing worse and worse.
A policeman stated that the prisoner had been upon
one occasion put into a house through a diminutive
skylight by some robbers, and that he had hid himself
for hours waiting an opportunity of opening the door
for his experienced tutors. •
The prisoner put on a crying face, but could not,
with the most violent distortions wring dut a single
tear. «My Lord," said he, " I might deserve punish-
ment for that ere, but I'm blest if I desarves it for this
here."

The LORD MAvou—Depend upon it, if you go on
in this way you will be hanged. I must be candid
with such a character as you.
Prisoner—No, my Lord. Please your Lordship, I
won't be hanged. I'm sartain I won't be hanged,
homsomdever.

The LORD MAYOR—I must take care of you in
Bridewell for a while.

Prisoner—Oh, my lord, let me off this once and I'll
let you hang me if ever you see me again. He then
took hold of the bar before which he stood, in order
to prevent the officer from moving him ; and said in
an widertone, " Blow me crooked if I stirs a inch out
of this for e'er a trap of you all."
The LORD MAvoa—Let the handcuffs be brought,
and put upon the prisoner.. He shall have an oppor-
tunity of exercising himself at the treadmill.
The boy, upon finding that he was not likely to gain
any thing by any sort of appeal, turned about very
quietly, clapped his hat on his head, and his hands in
his pockets, and followed the officer who had him in
custody, saying, as he departed, " I say, here's a pretty
go ! an't it ?"
Committed to Bridewell for a month.
Another boy, about a year older than M'Carthy,
was brought up charged with having picked a gentle-
man's pocket.
The officer who apprehended this prisoner saw him,
after having made several experiments upon pockets,
very adroitly transfer a silk, handkerchief from the
pocket og a gentleman to his own; out of which he as
quickly whipt it and let it fall to the ground, when he
felt the well-known grasp of the policeman. Although
the boy seemed to have no hesitation or imperfection
in his speech, five shillings were found in his mouth.
The LORD MAYOR—Has this boy been at a police-
office before?

Policeman—Yes, my Lord. There are a great
many boys of this kind about the streets, who follow
no earthly pursuit but that of picking pockets.
The LORD MAYOR—Pray where did you get those
five shillings, prisoner.?
Prisoner—l've been saving them up for some time,
my Lord.
The LORD MAYOR—But why did you carry them in
your mouth? • Have you no pockets?
Prisoner—Oh, yes, please your lordship, but I
couldn't trust the money to my pockets. .
The LORD MAYOR—Aye ; you knewlhere were so
many bad characters about, you thought they might put
their hands in.

Prisoner —Jist the case, please you, my Lord.
(Loud laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—But what do you do with the
money when you are eating ? You then put it in your
pocket, I suppose ?—No,, my. Lord. I an't sick a flat
as to carry it there. I carries it in, my hand, and
when I am done my wittles, I puts it into my mouth
again. Every body 'll look in your pocket for money,
but I'm blest if any one, except he's wide awake, NI 11
look in your mouth for it. --(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—I must, for your own sake, send
you to prison.
Prisoner—Don't take so much trouble, please your
Lordship, for my sake. I han't got no great wish
to go.
The Loan MAYOR—Then I'll send you for the sake
_ _

of the public.
The officer stated that the prisoner's expenses in the
Compter, for he was not satisfied with the prison fare,
amounted to IS pence, and that there were two girls
of the town, with one of whom he lived on conjugal
terms, waiting for him.
The Loan MAYOR directed that the girls should be
brought forward, and questioned them.
They said that they knew nothing of the poor boy,
but as they saw him m custody, they thought he was
hungry, and gave him a little bread and cheese.
Several of the officers said that rooms were let in
many of the alleys and lanes to the young thieves and
prostitutes, a' dozen of whom often lived together in
one apartment.
Committed for a month to Bridewell.
GUILDHALL.

Yesterday a young man named James Brown came
before Mr. Alderman SCHOLEY, to answer the com-
plaint of the overseers of St. Bride's, fbr neglecting
to maintain his wife, Maria,
Mr. Carvill, the assistant-overseer, proved that the
wife had become chargeable.
Mr. Flower, who attended forthe defendant, sub-
mitted that he was not inn- :and to
maintain his wife, as
tiorne to live in adultery with a
shema man
hnaadmed quitted
R mouse. he r
Mr. Alderman SCHOLEY said this was lamentable,
if true ; but he believed that, notwithstanding this
misfortune, the husband remained liable to take care
of his wife.

Mr. Flower said the husband was not liable where
the crime could be satisfactorily made out, and he
proceeded to examine witnesses to prove the fact.
Mr. Alderman SCHOLEY said, that having heard the
evidence, he had no doubt she had misconducted her-
self, and therefore he would not oblige the husband to
maintain ,her.;_ she must now work for her living.
The summons was dismissed.
