THE ARMY.

GENERAL SIR H. WA EDE.—By the demise of General Sir
Henry Warde the Colonelcy of the 31st Foot becomes vacant.
Sir Henry, who died at his seat at Alresford, on Wednesday,
was a distinguished officer, and father of the Countess of
Guildford. Sir Henry entered the service in 1783 as an En-
sin in the Ist Regiment of Guards, and in 1793 he landed in
Holland with the rank of Captain among the first troops, and
was wounded in storming the outworks at Valenciennes. He
served in the expedition to Ostend as Lieutenant-Colonel,
with Sir Ralph Abercromby at the Helder, and was present
in all the actions. He also served under Lord Cathcart at
Copenhagen in 1807, and was appointed Major-General in
April, 1808; he commanded the first brigade of Guards in the
force sent under Sir David Baird at Corunna, and returned
after that battle. He went out to India next year, and thence
to the Mauritius, where he was three months Acting-Governor,
having been Second in Command in its capture to Lieutenant-
General Abereromby. He was appointed Colonel of the 68th
Foot in January, 1823; a Lieutenant-General the 4th of June
the same year ; General the 22d of July, 1830, and got the
131st Regiment in April of 1831.
(From the Limerick Chronicle.)
Upper Canada papers to the sth of last month state that
Colonel Nicol had arrived from England, and joined the service
companies of the 66th regiment. James Coffin, Esq., As-
sistant-Commissary-General, died of cholera at Quebec, which
has been very fatal at Kingston, and most at Torento, which
suffered severely by the pestilence.
Letters from Jamaica state that the 64th regiment enjoyed
'good health, having only lost one sergeant and nine rank and
tile since the regiment left Ireland. Three companies, with
head-quarters, were at Stoney-hill, the Grenadiers at Mulle-
livehall, a company at Unity-hall, and two detachments at
,Kingston and Port Royal.
Yesterday Major-General Sir James Douglas made his
half-yearly inspection of the 60th Rifles in this garrison, under
command of Major Trevelyan, at the New Barrack-square.

72D DUKE OF ALBANY'S OWN HIGHLANDERS.—The depot
companies of this regiment, under the command of Major
Hall, were inspected here on Saturday last, in heavy marching
order and uncovered bonnets, by Major-General the lion. F.
Stuart, Commander of the Forces in Scotland. We under-
stand that the Gallant General was highly pleased with the
appearance and discipline of the depot, and the cleanliness of
the barrack rooms. The Major-General having finished his
tour of military inspections, is now at Erskine, In our neigh-
bourhood, the seat of his nephew, Lord Blantyre.—Glasgow
Paper.
REVIEW OF THE 22D FOOT.—Yesterday, the depot of the
22d Regiment of Foot, stationed at this place, under command
of Major Pennefather, were reviewed at the citadel, by Major-
General Sir H. F. Bouverie, K. C. 8., who, we are informed,
expressed a high opinion of the state of discipline in which he
found the troops. —Hull Observer.

ANTIDOTE AGAINST ARSENIC.--Two physicians
at Gottingen have lately discovered that the oxydrat of iron is
an infallible antidote against arsenical poison ; the oxydrat of
iron is perfectly innocuous of itself.
MUTINY ON BOARD THE ERIN STEAM-PACKET.
—On Saturday, Sept. 27, we left the quay at three o'clock in
the afternoon, with the engineers and firemen all drunk, and
before we arrived at the lighthouse one of the engineers and
firemen mutinied and stopped the engine, so we had to remain
all night in the river We had the fireman landed on the
lighthouse wall, and at six o'clock yesterday sailed again.
The conduct of the steam-packet agent, a Mr. Gibbs, was
most shameful, as he was aware, before we left the quay, that
the men were drunk, and should not have let them come.—
Correspondent of the Evening Post.
BRpuGH HILL FAlR.—This great annual fair
took place on Tuesday and Wednesday last. For some days
previously the fields for miles round the fair hill were thronged
with cattle, though they were not quite so numerous as the
two or three last years. Good articles, which were in consi-
derable advance, sold very well, but poor lean beasts were of
dull sale. Good horses were also in demand at fair prices.
Ponies were the dearest article on the hill, fancy things bring-
ing prices that would have bought a good horse. The weather
being extremely fine, there was a great concourse of people
present on both days. The Excise Officers were on the alert,
and seized some spirits from some of the publicans, it being
below the strength allowed.—Glasgow Herald.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday evening an in-
quest was held before Mr. Baker, Coroner, at the George and
Dragon, opposite Shadwell Church, on the body of a man
found drowned in the river on Sunday morning. Anes, a
waterman, said the Thames and Batavier steam-ships were
passing down the river at the same time, and the swell was so
great that the body appeared to be brought up from the bot-
tom of the river, and was lifted right out of the water. De-
verell, the headborough, said the body not been owned, and
there was a severe and deep cut on the nose. The deceased
appeared to be about 34 years of age, five feet three inches in
height, and was attired in a black coat, black waistcoat, grey
trousers, in the pocket of which was a penknife and comb,
long boots, white cotton stockings, and white neckcloth. The
Jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned."

A person named Bourne, from Bromsgrove, on
Saturday, last got upon a Stourport coach as it was passing
through this city, mistaking it for one of the Birmingham
stages. On discovering his error, he immediately attempted
to get down, while the vehicle was proceeding, and most un-
fortunately his right leg became entangled in the spokes of the
wheel. Not aware of his perilous situation, the coachman of
course did not pull up until called to by the persons who had
witnessed the accident, consequently the sufferer was dragged
for some yards in this frightful manner, and his extrication
could not be effected before the wheel was taken off! Surgi-
cal assistance was soon procured, and although very much
mangled, in a few hours afterwards he was enabled to proceed
on his journey homewards.— Worcester Herald.
THE CHOLERA.—We have received most heart-
rending accounts of the ravges the cholera is making in the
neighbourhood of Kilcummin. Entire families have been car-
ried off, and the havoc has been so dreadful that the place is
totally deserted. The greatest panic has boen felt, and fear
has even overcome moral courage and humanity. In Foghal,
a village consisting of fifty families, a person died, and the
panic created was so great that all the inhabitants fled the
,lace, and suffered the body to continue disinterred for three

EPSOM OCTOBER MEETING—YESTERDAY.
The comparative inferiority of the list this year is not owing
to any want of liberality or exertion on the part of the Stewards
or the Committee, but the unpopular step taken by Mr. Bris-
coe, Lord of the Manor, by which they have been so effectually
crippled that, instead of giving three hundred pounds, they
were unable to add much more than a third of that sum.
Should Mr. Briscoe succeed in his action the effect will be
highly prejudicial to the races, without materially benefitting
himself, as many sources which are now turned to profitable
account, will be closed against him. Moreover, it cannot fail
of producing an unfavourable feeling amongst his constituency.
Since the Spring Meeting the alterations and improvements
which have been so long in progress on the Downs have been
completed, and the races yesterday were run on the new course.
With the exception of Newmarket, it is now the best course in
England, and two much praise cannot be given to Baron Tes-
sier and the Committee of Management for the judicious man-
ner in which it has been planned and perfected. All the lengths
have been re-measured ; the T. Y. C. is exactly six furlongs,
the Craven eight, and the Derby a mile and a half, the chief
alteration in the latter being that the Tattenham turn is so
ameliorated as to be almost imperceptible, while the hill is per-
haps a shade more difficult than formerly. The Derby and
Oaks will be run on it next year, as advertised in the Racing
Calendar.
We subjoin a return of yesterday's sport, which considerably
