THE ARMY.

General Parlby, commanding the Cavalry Bri-
gade of the Dublin Division, concluded a minute
inspection of the Sects Greys on Thursday last at
Newbridgc. Five troops were aysembled on a foot
parade, in all about 280 strong (the remaining
troops being in out quarters.) After the usual in-
spection of the ranks the regiment marched past in
slow and quick time, and was formed in close
column of squadrons, when the General rema-ked,
that it became his pleasant duty to compliment
them on their very high state of discipline and
efficiency. During the course of his long profes-
sional cum- he had invariably heard the regiment

highly spoken of. Indeed, he might say that the
name of the Scots Greys had become quite a
" household word" throughout the kingdom. It
also gave him great pleasure to repeat what Lord
Cardigan (the Inspector-General of Cavalry) had
told him after inspecting them in the field the week
previous—that he never witnessed any regiment go
through the field movements with such regularity,
precision, and spirit, as they had done, and that
his inspection of them throughout had given him
infinite satisfaction.

An order has been received in Kilkenny to pre-
pare the barracks there for six companies, compris-
in.. about 600 men, and head-quarters of the 26th
(Cameronians) Regiment, while three companies,
amounting to 180 men, are to be quartered at Car-
1, w, and one company of 80 men at Castlecomer
barracks. The Himalaya is daily expected to ar-
rive at Kingstown, and the moment it lands the
corps, they will be forwarded by railway.
On Monday the 2d Battalion of the 18th Royal
Irish, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Chapman,
arrived in Kilkenny on their way from the Curragh
Comp to WaterfoA in order to sail thence to Ports-
mouth by the Adelaide, which brought over the
4th B; ttalion 60th Rifies_to Waterford...

Major-General Frederick Towers died a few
days since at his seat in Inverness-shire. The de-
ceased General entered the army as a Cornet in the
7th Hussars, in Nov. 1813, and served in that dis-
tinguished corps during the Waterloo campaign.
The gallant officer was put on half-pay in August,
1826. His commission bore date as follows : Cornet,
18th of November, 1813 ; Lieut., 18th of April,
1815; Capt., Bth of July, 1820; Major, 29th of
August, 1826 ; Lieut.-Col., 23d of November, 1841 ;
Col., 20th of June, 1854 ; and Major-Gen., 26th of
October, 1858.
A detachment of non-commissioned officers and
gunners of the Royal Artillery, 3d brigade, yester-
day arrived at Woolwich from Devonport, under
orders to proceed to Shoeburyness, to enter upon
a course of instruction and practice with the Arm-
strong gun. The whole of the gunners, bombardiers,
and others, composing the brigade of Artillery sta-
tioned at Woolwich, whose term of service has not
exceeded 14 years, have passed medical examination
in pursuance of orders to that effect from the office
of the Commander-in-Chief, with a view of select-
ing additional draughts of the most robust and
healthy men for foreign service.
The dockyard seLtry duties, carried out for some
time past at Woolwich by the police, are ordered to
be undertaken on Monday next, as formerly, by
detachments of the military.
Second Lieut. Westby, Royal Marine Light In-
fantry, yesterday left Woolwich to join the flag-
ship Impregnable at Devonport, for service on board
her Majesty's screw steam frigate Euryalus, 51, to
relieve Capt. Vaughton, recently promoted by seni-

ority. -
Col. F. Miron Eurdley Wilmot, R.A., superin-
tendent of Royal gun factories im Woolwich Arsenal,
has resumed the duties of his post, on the expira-
tion of a month's leave of absence, employed in a
survey and examination of the ore mines and
foundries of the north of England.
The 2d Regiment of Derbyshire Militia (or Chats-
worth Rifles) has just completed its period of 21
days' training. Lieut.-Col. the Hon. A. M. Cath-
cart, who inspected the regiment before it was dis-
banded, expressed hinwelf much pleased with the
soldierlike appearance of the men. The comple-
ment of the regiment is 567, out of which number
438 were present at headquarters, 351 being under
arms,

Major-Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Y. Searlett, K.C.8.,
made his half-yearly inspection of the Durham
Militia Artillery at Fort Comer, near Gosport, on
Thursday last. Ile commenced his inspection at
11 a.m., and did not finish until 4 p.m., during
which time he frequ6itly expressed himself highly
pleased with all he saw, hut more particularly at
i the gun practice from the heavy guns at Brown-
down, which he declared was excellent, and ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the great progress the
corns had made in artillery duties during the shod
period since June last.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT TRINIDAD.—A terrible
tragedy was enacted on the night of Wednesday, 14th of
September, at the barracks of the 3d West India lteg,iinent,
Lower Prince-street. It appears that between nine and ten
o'clock, Lance -Sergeant During ordered Plicate James
Howard to join the St. Ann's Guard. Howard felt himself
offended, declared that it was not his roll, and became very
noisy in the barrack-room, in wLich many me a had retired
to rest. He was enjoined silence—he contineed his In ire.
He was ordered in more peremptory terms to be silent—he
refused to do so. During ordered an escort of two men,
which he actomp:mied, to take Howard to the guard-
room. Daring held a light. 'Howard had by this time
poscs•sed Ithwelf of a knife, which must have been con-
' coaled under his great coat, when he appeared to
be making ready to go 0.111,1 to the rd-room. In
passing near During, Howard inflicted a mortal M.

THE SUN.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1859
Although we are this afternoon placed in posses-
sion (by telegram) of a sufficiently lucid analysis of
the treaty recently signed at Zurich by the French
and Austrian Plenipotentiaries, we are nevertheless
no more enabled now than we were previously to see,

or to do any more than merely conjecture, the po:

tical Future of the Roman Peninsula. The rea

difficulty, in fact, is carefully evaded. The treaty
signed at Zurich, in truth, does very little more than
was effected by the truce arranged at Villafranca.
Austria, we again learn, gives up Lombardy to
the Emperor of the French—the whole of Lom-
bardy, that is to say, with the exception of Mantua
and Peschiera ; in other words, as far as the new
frontier has been fixed by special commission.
The Emperor of the French, we also again
learn, transfers those portions of Lombardy—the
fine plains without the strong fortresses—to his
Imperial Majesty's ally, King VICTOR EMMANUEL.
The rose-wreath, we now find, however, as we
had suspected, is not without its thorns ! In rea-
lity these thorns are now numbered up by the
treaty of Zurich to the distressful number of
250,000,000 f. Together with his new pro-
vince of Lombardy, that is to say, the Sar-
dinian monarch has handed over to him from
the despoiled EMPEROR of AUSTRIA an agreeable
debt, amounting in all to two hundred and fifty
millions of francs. Article the Eighteenth is the
next particularised in this analytic telegram, and
it is one of the few articles of the Treaty
of Zurich that will not fail to be read with a pecu-
liar and lively interest throughout Christendom.
It is, in regard to the Event promised, explicit
enough, but, in regard to the Manner of its
Accomplishment, vague as vague could well
It runs as follows : " Desiring that
the tranquillity of the Church, and the power
of the HOLY FATHER should be insured, and
being convinced that this end could not be ob-
tained in a more effective manner, than by a system
suited to the wants of the populations, and by re-
forms, the necessity of which has been already re-
organised by the Sovereign-Pontiff, the two con-
tracting parties will unite their efforts in order that
a reform in the administration of the States of the
Church should be carried out by his Holiness."
So far this assurance has now been given to
the world, formally and conjointly, by the
two most powerful among the Catholic States
of Europe. Thereupon, however, in the very
next article (Art.l9) follows the careful evasion by
France and Austria of the real difficulty in regard

to the solution of the problem of the political future
of the Italian Peninsula. It observes in this article
" that the territorial limits of the independent
States of Italy which did not take part in the
last war could be changed only with the assent
of the other Powers of Europe which took
part in forming and guaranteed the existence
of the States." Observing, moreover, rather super-
fluously, that " The rights of the Grand Duke of
TUSCANY, the Duke of MODP.NA, and the Duke of
PARMA are expressly reserved by the higher con-
tracting Powers." Wherefore, of course, France
and Austria together imply as plainly as words can
imply anything, that the responsibility of deciding
as to those rights evolves uon those su-
g owd ers. It isp the signal for
preme contraetin p
the long-talked-of Congress! " The two Em-
perors," we are told further on by Art. 20, "will
assist with all their power in the formation of a
Confederation of all the States of Italy, the object
of which will be the preservation of the indepen-
dence and integrity of Italy, which will insure
the development of their moral and material in-
