THE ARMY.

The Ist Dragoon Guards have received orders to
march from Brighton on the 15th of April.
The Scots Greys now stationed here are under or-
ders to march to Edinburgh about the end of this
month : it is 'expected they will be relieved by the
Enniskillen Dragoons from Edinburgh. The Artil-
lery stationed here for the last six months have been
detached to Tynemouth and Carlisle, and replaced by
a troop of the Royal Horse Artillery from Woolwich.
The company of the 19th Regiment of Foot, on duty
at Tynemouth Castle, will join the depot here, and
will be relieved at Tynemouth by one company of the
Bth Regiment from Sunderland. The depot of the
19th Regiment expect to march about the middle of
April for Carlisle. A reduction will shortly take place
in the Foot Regiments, to the extent of about ten men
from each company.—Newcastle Paper.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 29.—The Conway, 28
guns, Captain Eden, was appointed to sail from Rio
Janeiro to the Pacific, on the Ist of February, and
to visit the society and other South Sea Islands, in
which places it was found that the presence of a
ship of war was frequently much wanted.
The wind having changed from ten days' easterly
to fresh breezes from the westward, the following
ships may be daily expected to arrive here, having
served out their three years' state of commission :
Barham, 50, Vice-Admiral Sir P. Malcolm, Capt.
Hugh Pigott ; St. Vincent, 120, Sir F. Senhouse ;
and Raleigh, 18, Commander Hawkings, from the
Mediterranean ; Wolf, 18, Commander Hamley,
from the East Indies ; Talbot, 28, Captain R.
Dickenson, C. 8., from the Cape ; Curlew, 10,
Commander Trotter, from the west coast of Africa ;
Ariadnei 28, Captain Phillips, and Sapphire, 28,
Hon. Captain Trefusis, from the West Indies.
The'Blonde, 46, Commodore F. Mason, C. 8.,
(with the Marquis of Sligo and family on board, for
Jamaica) touched at Madeira on the 7th inst. The
Talbot, 28, was lying in Simon's Bay (with the flag
of Admiral Warren) on January 8.
The Upton Castle, Captain Duggan, for Bombay
(with Sir J. Keane on board), after being detained
thirteen weeks at this port and seventeen days at
sea, arrived at Madeira on the 3d, and sailed again
on the sth instant on her voyage. The Sesostris
had also arrived and sailed from Madeira for the
Cape.

On Tuesday the Viper schooner, Lieut. James,
sailed for Sheerness, to be paid off.

Revenge, President, North Star, Tyne, Rainbow,
Espoir, and Sparrow. The President was undocked
on Tuesday, and the Revenge the following day.
The North Star, 28, was this morning commis-
sioned at this port (it is supposed for the South
American station), by Captain 0. Vernon Harcourt.
Lieut. C. G. E. Napier and W. Maude are ap-
pointed to her.

_
The Surrey arrived on Tuesday, to embark con-
victs for New South Wales. She will call at Ply-
mouth.

The brig Jessey, Keates, master, of Poole, which
sailed some time since for Newfoundland, has put
into Cork, with the loss of the master and one of
the crew, who had both been washed overboard.
SUPPOSED CREW OF THE DIAMOND.—This
trader sailed from Jersey, for this port, about three
weeks since. On Wednesday, the 19th inst., an
open boat was discovered by the preventive-station
men, having been driven on shore the preceding
night near Berry Head, wherein were four men, two
of whom were dead, and the other two in such a
state of exhaustion that they were immediately re-
moved to Brixham workhouse, where they soon ex-
pired. From the appearance of the men (French-
men), and the boat, suspicion of the fate of the
vessel became excited, as no accounts have arrived
concerning hen—Plymouth Journal.
Major-General Sir Colin Campbell, K.C.8.,'
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in Nova Sco-
tia, with Lady Campbell and family, will take their
passage to Halifax in the President, 52 guns, Cap-
tain M'Kerlie, when ready to proceed to that station.
On Monday a courtmartial was held on board
his Majesty's ship Victory, for the trial of Mr. Wil-
liam Thurley, gunner of his Majesty's schooner
Viper, on the following charges preferred against him
by Lieutenant Horatio James, commanding the
Viper, viz. :—" For having on the evening of the
4th of December last attempted to go on shore at
Oporto without leave, and on finding himself detected
by Mr. Cooke, master's assistant, who had the charge
of the watch, he came out of the boat and struck
him (Mr. Cooke) repeatedly ; and also for being at
the time very much intoxicated." After hearing the
evidence, the court was of opinion that the charges
against Mr. Thurley had been proved in part, and
have adjudged him to be dismissed from his Majesty's
service. Rear-Admiral Sir Fred. L. Maitland,
K.C.8., President.

We regret to say that a builder of this town
has decamped, after forging the acceptances of,a great
number of respectable persons resident at Brighton.
He has left a wife and family entirely destitute of sup-
port.—Brighton Gazette.

The spirit of modern discovery has left few
parts of the globe unexplored. Our gallant officers,
now that the trade of war no longer claims their ser-
vices, appear determined to pursue an active career,
and to vie with one another in penetrating into remote
regions, seldom if ever traversed before, in order to
lay before their countrymen that information which they
could not otherwise acquire. No danger or difficulty
seems too formidable for them to encounter. In all
climes, the perseirering, Englishman may, in fact, be
found steadily intent upon his purpose, and undismayed
by the formidable impediments that so often arise to
counteract his efforts. We have been led to these
remarks by the announcement of the narrative of the
celebrated Eastern traveller, Lieutenant Conolly.
This gentleman determined to attempt a journey
overland from Russia through Persia to the Indus, being
anxious to extend our very imperfect knowledge of the
interesting and little-traversed countries of the Took-
muns and Affghauns. To cross the Caspian desert, in-
fested, as it was known to be, by so many wild and
predatory hordes, was, of itself, a bold attempt. No
tidings for a considerable period being heard of him,
great apprehensions were entertained as to his fate.
We rejoice, however, to find that he accomplished his
perilous undertaking, and that the account of his ad-
ventures will shortly be published by Mr. Colburn's
enterprising successor, Mr. Bentley, who has already
shown great taste and judgment in contributing to the
stores of public amusement.,
