THE ARMY.

DEPARTURE OF THE GUARDS FOR IRELAND.—
This morning, at an early hour, the third Batta-
lion of the First, or Grenadier Regiment of
Foot Guards, under the command of Colonel
STEWART, began to assemble at their Barracks at
Knightsbridge, for the purpose of marching to
the Basin of the Grand Junction Canal, where
boats were waiting to convey them to Liverpool,
on their way to Dublin. The Regiment marched
from the Barracks about half-past eight, across
the Park, Edgware-road, &c. Each boat is said
to contain about 60 men, and the whole number
of the Battalion is nearly 700. The day being
remarkably fine an immense concourse of persons
assembled in Knightsbridge and the roads
through which they passed ; it is said they will
reach Liverpool on Thursday se'nnight.
The 16th Lancers, the 19th, 29th, 84th, and
89th Regiments are gone to Ireland.
Yesterday the three troops of the 4th Dra-
goon Guards, who have been stationed at
Piershill Barracks for some time, marched for
Glasgow Barracks, under the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Ross. It is but just to say, that
during the time the above division of this very
distinguished regiment was stationed here, its
conduct was such as to reflect the highest credit
on its officers. Their departure is much and uni-
versally regretted, and they carry with them the
good wishes of many individuals here, for their
welfare and prosperity. We understand they
are to be replaced by the 3d Dragoon Guards,
from Glasgow.—(Edinburgh Courant, Dec. 1.)

The French ship of the line, La Normandie,
from Brest, arrived at the Cape of Good hope
the 10th September, and was to sail immediately
to take possession of the jsland of Saint-Marie-
Madagascar.
BRIG lITON, DEC. 3.—Divine Service, in the
presence of the KING, suite, and household, was
yesterday'performed at the Palace by the Dean
of lIEItEr•oRn and Dr. PEARSON. His MAJESTY
continues in the happiest state of health and

spirits.
Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA re-
turned to this country on Wednesday last from
Hanover. On Thursday her Royal Highness
arrived at Buckingham House, which had been
previously prepared for her reception, and not,
as was generally supposed, for his MAJESTY. Her
Royal Ilighness is much benefitted in her health
by her Continental trip.
The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND are
not coming to this country at present, as erro-
neously stated in some of the Papers, but are
gone to Berlin.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT has
recently sat to Sir WILLIAM BEECIIEY for her
portrait. The picture is a half length, and in-
eludes also the infant Princess ALEXANDIIINA
VICTORIA, her Royal Highness's daughter. When
honouring the artist by her presence at his paint-
ing room, the Duchess was accompanied by
Princess FED DORE, and the Baroness DE SPA DT.
It it understood that the performance will grace
the ensuing exhibition.
Yesterday evening Sir A NTIIO fIC CARLISLE de-
livered his fourth Lecture upon Anatomy to the
Members and Students of the Royal Academy,
-when the works =of the candidates for the diffe-
rent medals were publicly exhibited. The his-
torical subject selected this year for the best pic-
ture, for which the gold medal with the dis-
courses of the Presidents REYNOLDS and WcsT
will be given, is the Prodigal Son, from St. Luke.
That in sculpture, for a similar prize, Llwmon
and Anligona. The room was excessively crowded.
A fraud, to the amount of six thousand pounds,
has been committed on a most respeCtable com-
mercial house in the island of Jersey. Two per-
sons connected
,with the firm are in custody, on
suspicion of being the offending parties.
The firm of the Bank which has stopped pay-
ment at Newcastle-upon-Tyne has informed the
public that it is their intention, forthwith, to sub-
mit a statement of their affairs to persons of the
highest respectability, who will report upoil the
subject in a few days.
COLONEL SEYMOUR.-It is with extreme regret
we announce the death of Colonel S EYMOUR,' the
son-in-law of the Marquess of CIIOLMONDELEY.
This melancholy event took place on Saturday
night it Chohnondeley House, Piccadilly. The
Colonel had been ill for some time, and had
never wholly recovered the fatal effects of the
pestilential disease he had contracted while on
duty with hisregiment, the 3d Guards, at Wal-
cheren. Ile was in the prime of life, universally
respected, and considered one of the finest look-
ing men in his MAJESTY'S service. lie has left
by his amiable wife one child. The Noble Mar-
quess and family are inconsolable.
The pl:ly of De 11fontfort, according to report,
is withdrawn. It is a strange proof of caprice in
the public that Mr. KEAN should not 'have been
successful in this Piece, as even in the opinion of
those who are not his admirers, he appeared to
more advantage in De ?Montfort than in any of
his former. efforts.
Sunday evening, a few minutes before I 1
o'clock, a Meteor of rather unusual magnitude
appeared, taking its commencement near the
Zenith, and passing a few degrees eastward of
Polaris, through the constellation Ursa Minor,
and was lost or disappeared in that of Draco.—
The diameter of its nucleus appeared about four
or five times that of Jupiter, and its colour a very
lively blue, leaving in its train beautiful corm-
cations of red light, very similar in its appearance
to the tail of a skyrocket.
The Bristol Mereurg gives the following re-
port of a riot in Monmouthshire :—" In Alerga-
veiny, on Wednesday last, accounts have been
received of an extensive movement of some kind
or other among the workmen at the Tredeger
Iron Works ; and it was there said that a vast
body of them had gone down to Shirhowhey val-
ley, in train waggons, before day-light on the
morning of Tuesday last. From another Corres-
pondent we learn, that it was reported in New-
port on Wednesday, that the Riot Act bad been
read, and one of the mob seized by the Magistrate
with his own hands. We anxiously wait the ar-
rival 'of further particulars."
