THE ARMY.

The;Durhain, Gibside,. and Staindrop Corps of Yeomanry
Cavalry, assembled at Durhain •on Sunday last, on duty for
eight days. The following Letter from Colonel Sir Hugh
Gough, was received after the review on Newcastle Town
Moor, on the King's birth-day, by Major Sir Charles Loraine,
Bart commanding the • Northumberland and Newcastle ITO-
lunteer Cavalry :L-7-

" Newcastle upon Tyne, 24th April, 1021.
" MY DEAR SIR CHARLES

" The command bf this garrison having devolved on nip., I
feel myself called upon, in the ,absence of Sir Andrew Barnard,
to express to. you my warmest thanks for your ready attention
to my request,-that you should assemble the corps under your
command yesterday, in order that it might join the troopi of
the line on the Moor, for the purpse- of celebrating the clay
appointed for commemorating the birth-day of our gracious.
Sovereign. Aware of the great inconvenience several members
of the corps'would be put to, in being absent froth- their diffe-
rent parishes on Easter Monday, a day peculiarly set apart for-
the arrangement of parochial pecuniary-transactions,- I could;
not have anticipated a muster so creditable to the. loyalty and,
z.al of the Northumberland and Newcastle Volunteer Cavalry,
as I yesterday witnessed. I.shall feel very great satisfactionin
conveying.to Major General Sir John. Byng, the very favour-
able sentiments, both the appearance and steadiness 'of the
corps impressed me with, which I am persuaded will add to
the high opinion the Major-General already entertains of that
corps. Allow me to subscribe myself,
" My dear Sir Charles,
" Yotir faithful servant,
"To Major Sir Chas. Loraine, Aut. • "H. GOUGH."
commanding N. N. V. Cavalry."
Yesterday se'nnight, the Tyne Yeomanry Cavalry, under
the command of Lieut.-Col. Sir Thomas Bunion, marched into
this town, from Sunderland, where they had been on duty for
8 days. Their presence enlivened the place, and their conduct
was highly ;ratifying to the inhabitants. The Colonel and the
Officers had a grand. dinner at the Queen's Head here, on the
day of their return, and spent the evening with great harmony
and conviviality..

The 77th Regiment, now quartered at Stockport, (of which.
our Lieut.-Governor is Colonel), is about to march for this
garrison.—(Hampshire Telegraph.) •
We understand, from good authority, that the regiment of
Royal Marines will be_assembled this year for twenty-one days
training and exercise. The orders for the ballot are not yet Is-
sued, but may soon be expected to arrive. It is believed that
August will be the month fixed upon for the assembling of the
,regiment, that time may be allowed for the enrolment of the
new men.—(Cornwall Gazette.)
At Plymouth, on Monday last, the 30th ult. Major-Gen. Sir
Dennis Pack inspected the sth Royal Veteran Battalion, pre-
parato-:y tf, their being disbanded • the General read several
letters from the Command4vin-Chief, regretting that the state
of the national finances prevented the realization of hopes held
out to them, on their being embodied, that upon their discharge,
they would receive an increase of pensitin, in proportion as
their additional services would entitle them. The men received

this communication, as also a high encomium touching the '
manner in which they had conducted themselves while under
his command, as became brave soldiers and good subjects.
They were informed they were to retain their clothing, which is
nearly new.—(Exeter Gazette.)
The North Derbyshire Yeomanry Cavalry, consisting of the
Hopton, Wirksworth, and Bakewell Troops, amounting to
nearly 200 non-commissioned officers and privates, under the
command of Major Gell, will assemble at Buxton on Monday
next, the 7th instant, for six days' permanent duty.
Several of the militia regiments are to be embodied for train-
ing and exercise during the present month. The North Glou-
cester are under orders to assemble at Cirencester for 21 days,
but the day of meeting is not yet 'fixed—the Dorset assembles
on the 16th, and the Hereford on the 28th.—(Farley's Bristol
Journal)
The Gentlemen of the Huddersfield Yeomanry Cavalry hav-
ing completed their training at this place, they proceeded yester-
day to their respective homes. From the short period they have
been on permanent duty here, the great precision with which
they went through their various evolutions is highly creditable.
The three regiments of West York Militia are ordered out
for the purpose of training and exercise; the Ist regiment will
assemble at this place, on Tuesday the 17th July; the 2d re-
giment at York, on Thursday the 31st of May ' • and the 3d
regiment at Pontefract, on Saturday the 26th of May.
A part of the 16th Lancers marched into the barracks of Shef-
field yesterday week, which is to be their head-quarters. They
have with them a most excellent band.--(Doncaster Gazette,
4th May.)

BRISTOL HIGII Cnoss.—The followitig letter
has been addressed by Sir R. C. HoaRE, Bart. to the Editor
of THE BRISTOL Bliunou, on the subject of this interesting ,
piece of antiquity, which it has been propcsed to place in the
centre of College-green :
" Sir,—A paragraph, relating to the Bristol High Cross,
having lately met my eye in your paper, permit me to say that,
as a zealous antiquary, I shall be truly happy if the good citi-
zens of Bristol should think seriously of reinstating a Model of
the High Cross which once ornamented their city ;
.and that I
shall be ready to render every accommodation necessary for
effecting so laudable an undertaking.—The Cross is in so de-
cayed a state, that no time should be lost in taking accurate
drawings or models from the original. 1 should also recom-
mend (if undertaken) to erect it on a larger scale; the present
one being more adapted to an ornamental garden, than a public
walk or square ; and should this operation ever take place, I
could recommend a sculptor on stone in Bath, who, I think,
would undertake it, and execute it with fidelity and ability.
His name is George Ashley, residing at bidcombe, near Bath :
he has been employed by me in many works of Art, to my sa-
tisfaction ; and I um convinced that he would not under-
take any work, unless he felt satisfied that he could do it
ample justice.
" Your's' &c. &c. " R. C. lIOARE."
" Stourhead, 26th April 1821."

MEETING OF THE PORT OF LONDON SOClEl4Y.—Yes-
terday.the Anniversary Meeting of the Port of London Society,
for the promotion of Religion among Seamen, was held at tile
City of London Tavern. About 1000 persons, 'principally
females, were present. Lord. GAMBLER took the Chair, and
opened the business of the day in a congratulatory speech. The
Report of the last year's proceedings stated, that within the last
year successful exertions had been made in different parts of the
country to forward the objects of the Society, and amongst
others, Liverpool,llull, Bristol, and Leith might be distinguish ed.
Similar exertions had been making in North America, that had
been crowned with great success, and 'places for worship had
already been opened at New York, Philadelphia, Charleston,
and Boston. The Report gaye a flattering account of the effects
.which.thepromotion of religion had ha' in many instancc.s on
the crews of vessc!s in the Port of London, and the progress
that religion was making amongst them. It instanced that in
the ships bound to Davis's Straits, and other quirters, Divine
Service Was regularly performed. .

MR. -BROUGLTAM'S EMYCATION Ber.t.---It is a little .re-
markable, that although this Bill has been -printed seven. months
'and includes enactments of the most serious importance to vet-
rious classes of the community, it does not. appear to have
aroused that attention which its importance deserves; not the
least impoitant feature in the Bill is the expence which it will
entail upon the country, but more especially on the Agricul-
tural Interest. Upon a moderate ralculation, that portion of
the expense of erecting Schools which is
.to be paid out of the
County Rates will not be less than £2,500,00p, and the salary
to be paid to the Masters will amount to at least £300,000 _an-
nually, to be paid out of the Poor's Hates., The objections to
the Bill. are so manifold that we cannot think it will ever pass
into a law.—(Staffoidshire Advertizer.)
The late Major Thomas Gamble, of his Majesty's 47th regi-
ment of foot, left by his will and codicils, which -were proved
in Doctors' Commons on the 16th inst. the sum of £l4 ,500 five
per cent. Bank Annuities, to be appropriated towards the pay-
ment of the national debt,. having, he says, acquired the fortune
he was possessed of in the service of. Government.
We hear that the Visitation of the Archdeacon of Gloucester
will be held at Cirencester May 7, Stow g, Campden 9, Tewkes-
bury 10; Deerhurst 11, Dursley 14, and Sodbury 15. '
It. W. Brandling, Esq. of Low Gosforth, has been apnoint-
ed joint receiver for Greenwich Hospital, vice the late Joseph
Forster Esq.-
On laaster Sunday, a handsome and fine-toned new Organ,
built by Mr. Davis, of Sunderland, was opened for divine ser-
vice in the parish church of St. Andrew, Auckland ; and on the
same day, another Organ, on a smaller scale, by the same artist,
was opened in St. Aim's Chapel, Bishop-Auckland. Both have
been built by subscription.
The fund of the Worcester National Girls' School' has been
augmented by a donation of five guineas from Lord Deerhurst.
In aid of d Dispensary about to be established at Wolver-
hampton, Lord Dudley and Ward has liberally subscribed 50
guineas, and has 'also directed his name to appear as an an-
' nual contributor of five guineas.
A very elegant mural monument • has lately been raised in
Beccles church, executed by Chantrey, in memory of Dr. Jo-
seph Arnold; Naturalist to the Hon. East India Company
-the Island of Sumatra, where he fell a victim to his thirst for
Science in that most pestilential climate.
An ingenious mechanic of this neighbourhood leas discover-
ed a new and simple power, which he conceives will be found
to involve.the long-sought desideratum of a perpetual motion,
and he -intends • shortly, to lay it before the proper authori-
ties, appointed-by Government, to ascertain the reality of such
a discovery.---(Newcastle Paper.)
