TIIE ARMY.

General D'Arcy is about to retire from the Staff, and is to
be succeeded in the command of the Chatham Garrison by Ge-
neral Desborough, of the Royal Marines.
The Royal First Devon Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry,
Colonel the Right lion. Lord Rolle, completed their fourteen
dayS7 training at Honiton, on Thursday., Previous to their
being disbanded, Col. Cutcliffe, of the Lancers, addressed them
in the most complimentary terms.
The West Suffolk Militia, sunder the command of Col. Sir
W. Parker, Bart. complete their period of training and exercise
this day. The soldier-like appearance of the men, their
icn-
proveinent in discipline_, and their quiet and orderly conduct in
quarters, has entitled them to the highest praise.
The party of the 41st regiment, stationed at Dornoch, were
'on Monday marched to Gruids, about six miles above Bonar
Bridge, the tenants of which were to be then ejected ; the
Sheriff had gone the previous day to persuade them to remove
without resistance ; and we trust they have complied.—(lnver-
ness Journal.)
On Wednesday last, the 42d Royal Highlanders, command-
ed by Colonel Dick, C. 8., were reviewed and inspected in the
great square of the New Barracks, by Major-General Egerton,
who was attended by his Aide-de-Camp, Major Kelly, the gallant
officer who so eminently distinguished himself (especially in
personal combat with the Colonel of the French cuirassiers) at
the battle of 'Waterloo. The officers of the 42d were dressed in the
philibeg and plaid, with dirk and spurren, &c. and the whole
corpspresented a very fine and striking martial spectacle. They
went through a variety of novel and beautiful manoeuvres with
a celerity and precision that astonished and delighted the be-
holders ; and we have good reason to believe, that the Inspect-
ing-General expressed,:.in the warmest and most decisive terms,
his high approbation of the state, evolutions, and appearance of
the old Highland
.Watch.—(Kilkenny Paper.)

From the newly discovered Continent of New
Shetland, the following information has been
received :

4c NEW SHETLAND, FEB. 16.—The Russian litigate Wos-
tozk, Captain HELLEIYHOUSEN, and a sloop of war, have been
on a voyage of discovery to this part of the world. The num-
ber of seals here is much smaller than was expected. The
country is a wild disagreeable mass of snow and ice, and its shores
extremely dangerous ; but the harbour is full of vessels, of one
sort and another. No less 'than nine sail of English vessels
have been lost on this coast. The harbour lies 62. 30. South
lat. and 63. 5. West long.—There are twelve American vessels
here."

DIARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS

A BALLAD.
In halls of state and power
paks'd yputh's joyous hour,
My glories none can tell ;
Then with sore anguish wrung;
To rity sad lute I sung,
France ! France !—farewell

'ln Scotland's rugged clim4;
Seduc'd to shame and crime;
My sorrows who can tell ?
It was the morning light

Chas'd by the gloom of night—

Peade ! Peace !—fareivell !

A woe-worn captive here—
My rival counts each tear;—

Hark ! 'tis the fun'ral knell
IVW:iout a hope 'or friend ;
Still calmly let me bend--
Life ! Life !—farza•ell !
