T HE ARMY.

A provisional battalion of 600 men, under Col.
CALI' EILT, has beeti formed from the depot at
Albany Barracks, and landed at Portsmouth, to
assist in doing the fluty of the garrison, instead
of the 15th Regiment, whiCh has embarked for
Plymouth.

The party of the T2d Foot that, under Captain
POOLE, performed garrison duty hi Waterford,
from the embarkation of the 49th to the landing
of the 86th, marched hack on Tuesday for head-
quarters, Kilkenny.—On Thursday the 19th Re-
giment of Foot arrived in Dublin from England:
His Majesty Louts XVIII. has been gra,
ciously pleased to confer on CHARLES Du SABLE,
Esq., Captain in his Britannic Majesty's 60th
Light Infantry Regiment, the Cross of the
Royal Order of the Legion of Honour.
Major TYLDEN and Lieutenants GEORGE
LEWIS and STOTHERD, of the Itoyal Engineers,
are ordered to Gibraltar.

On Saturday, the 10th inst., the Officers of the
late 94th Regiment, or Scots Brigade, in Edin-
burgh and its vicinity, dined together at the Wa-
terloo Hotel, Captain CAMPBELL, of Combie, in
the Chair, supported by General SCOTT, of Mal-
leny, and Colonel A. M'LAINE. The evening
passed with the hilarity natural to the meeting of
old companions in war, enlivened by the glorious
recollection of having seen the arms of their na-
tive city floating in triumph over the plains and
cities. of Ilindostan, Spain, Portugal, and France,
and the proud satisfaction that they had never in
any one instance, during their eventful cam-
paigns, failed to be planted where ordered.
On Tuesday last, the grand division of that
highly distinguished corps, the 2d battalion of
the Rifle Brigade, marched through this town.
Fermoy is its present destination, as is supposed;
however, from the disturbed state of the county
of Cork, they will proceed to Mallow, that being
a more central point. It evinces a strong deter-
mination on the part of Government to take the
most decisive steps for the restoration of tran-
quillity ; from the nature of their service, we
know not a regiment more capable of seconding
their efforts than this now about to be employed;
as their appearance in the county of Galway,
during the Ribbon system, tended much to in-
duce the peasantry to return to their accustomed
occupations, as well as to relieve the fears of the
resident gentry in that country.—(Carlow Morn-
lig Post.)
THE IMPERIAL BRIDLE.-This magnificent
appendage to the splendid uniform of the First
Regiment of Life Guards is now completed.—
The gorget, or breast-plate, represents a star of
brilliant steel, the rays darting from a golden
sun. The horse will be completely in armour,
for a series of brass scales, w,ith steel centres,
will encompass the whole animal's neck; and it
will then be protected from the cut of a sabre,or
a lunge at the throat. The crupper is of the same
description, surmounted by steel stars, and gold
centres. These matchless ornaments are expected
to appear on the day of the first Drawing Room.

TnERoYALFAMILY.—The Duchess of GLOU
CESTER was accompanied by the Duchess, of
CLARENCE, on Wednesday, from Bushy Park,
on her way to London, to visit the King, as far
as the King's Palace, at Kensington, from which
place the Duchess of Gloucester proceeded to
London in the Duchess of Kent's carriage. The
Duchess of Gloucester returned to Kensington,
to dine with the Duchess of. Kent, in company
with the Duchess of Clarence. In the evening,
the Duchess of Gloucester and the Duchess
of Clarence honoured Covent Garden The-
atre .with their presence, attended by Captain
Conroy. The Duchess of Kent was prevented
from accompanying her Royal Relatives to the
Theatre, owing to a slight cold. The Duchess
of Gloucester and the Duchess of Clarence
returned to Bushy Park that night.— On
Thursday, the Duchess of Kent went to Bushy,
to dine with the Duke and Duchess of Clarence,
where there was a numerous party to meet her
Royal llighness. A military band attended, and
played during the evening.—Friday,the Duchess.
of Gloucester left Bushy Park, where her Royal
Highness had been on a visit to the Duke and
Duchess of Clarence for some time, on her return
to Bagshot.—The Duchess of Kent being reco-
vered, we are happy to say, from her slight cold,
honoured Covent Garden Theatre with her pre-
sence, on Saturday evening, accompanied by the
Princess Feodor. Their Royal Highnesses sat in
Prince Leopold's box. The Duke of Gloucester
has joined the party assembled at Holkham.

A distressing accident happened on Wednesday
last, at Bishop-Auckland, the consequence of the
most culpable carelessness. JOAN lliartisoN, a
pitman, belonging to Blackboy colliery, being
employed in the making of cartridges by candle
light, a spark from the candle communicated
with 4lbs. of gunpowder, which exploding, blew
off part -of the roof of his house, and severely in-
jured the man, (of whose recovery but faint hopes
are entertained) his wife, and two children.—

WAYS AND MEANS.—A. young girl, in this
neighbourhood, in the prospect of marriage,
being unable to find money to purchase wedding
clothes, a few days ago, actually submitted to
the operation of having five front teeth drawn,
for which she received Five Guineas, and pur-
chased the necessary articles.—(lbid.)
On Saturday night last, a quarrel having taken
place at Chapel, in Weardale, between a black-
smith, named Peter Proudfoot, and a man named
Dent, the former, in a violent fit of passion, bit
off the nose of the latter !—(Durham Advertiser,
Nov. 17.)
A MINUTE TOO-LATE.—A Gentleman dreamt
of No. 7,8503 in the present Lottery, and paid
five shillings extra to secure it ; we suppose he
dreamt about a minute too long, for had he
waked one minute earlier perhaps he might have
fixed on No. 7,849, the preceding number, which
was the X 30,000 Prize that Bisn sold on the
we are inform-
ed R 20,000 or
efidrsttdhaayt otfhethe sesapmreennutmLboetrterwya;s
30,000 Prize about 30 3 ears ago, and was also
sold at .131sies Offices.
