THE ARMY.

A very handsome piece of brass ordnance bar
been landed at Chatham Dockyard, having beta
brought brought home from China, where it was recent ii
captured by our forces at the storming and tai
of the Bogue forts. This gun is of splendid 'Ord
manship, and from its peculiar construction anfs
great size was doubtless prized by the Chinese.
e
weighs nearly 10 tons, and is 16 feet in length, tuo
bore being 121 inches. This piece of ordnance,
landed in safety at the dockyard, where it has o'9
ready attracted a good deal of interest. The 0004
employed in China also captured another gun oft
.00
same size and make, but on getting it on board tt
vessel to bring it to England it was unfortunatol
lost overboard, and could not be recovered. er

A painful circumstance has just transpire—

the East India Engineers, having been detected in
robbing one of his brother officers of a sum
°f
money. For some time past considerable sumo ;:o
money and other property have been stolen fr°,
the officers' quarters at the barracks, but so illYsiv„-
riously were the robberies effected that no e 0
°f
the could be obtained as to the guilty person, several
the officers' servants who were suspected having
been dismissed. In consequence of a statenier; ,
made to the authorities by Lieut. Baillie's own sin o
vant the police were communicated with, ail
u
watch* set, when Lieut. Baillie was discovered to
have stolen a sum of money from the rooms occe,
pied by Lieut. Manderson. The accused was i0u3..,
diatcly placed under arrest, preparatory to bop
brought to trial, two sentries having the charg?

however, Lieut. Baillie succeeded in eifecting 11„,
