cause of emulation with both tamers and men; Lieut.-
Colonel floss was directed by Sir II Vivian to express to
the 4th Dragoon Guards his perfect approbation of their
appe trance and movements in the field ; am!, above all, of
that good conduct on the part of the men since the last in-
spection, which was equally a proof of the respectable and
soldierlike spirit that exists amozigst them, and of the great
zeal and attention of the officers and non-eommissioned
officers in maintaining the excelleat discipline of the regi-
ment. After inspecting the hooks, the barrack-rooms, &c.,
the Hen. Major De Roos, and Lord Southampton, honoured
the officers with their company at the mess.— York Herald.
THE EIGHTY-THIRD REGIMENT.—This gallant and dis-
tinguished regiment, which debar Iced the other day at New-
haven from Portsmouth, on its route to Glasgow, where it
is now stationed, consisted, during the List war, of two bat-
talions, of which the first went abroad in 1805 to the Cape
of Good Hope, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Baird (of the Newhyth family), brother to the dis-
tinguished General Sir David (lately deceased), who com-
manded the expedition against that place, which was soon
reduced. The battalion afterwards proceeded to Ceylon.
On landing at the Cape the battalion was 900 strong. Of
these only two officers and five men returned with it. The
second battalion, then left in Britain, had ere long a more
brilliant career of service opened to it in the Peninsular
warfare, having shared in all Wellington's sieges and battles,
from that of Talavera in 1808, where Lieut.-Colonel Alex-
ander Gordon fell at their head, to that of Toulouse in 1814,
thus giving our great rival the first blow on the banks of
.the Tagus, and turning the tables, as invader, upon him,
and the finishing one in the heart of France. Both batta-
lions, with their joint and well-earned honours, now verge
into one ; and, if gallantry in the field, and orderly habits
in quarters, entitle a regiment to consideration, the 83,1
must be well received wherever they go —Caledonian3fer.
On Thursday last a troop of the 7th Dragoon Guards
marched from Norwich, on their route to join head-quarters
at Ipswich.

An order has been received for the 3d Light Dragoons,
now quartered in our barracks, to commence wearing mus-
tachios.—Sheffield Advertiser.

(From the Limerick Chronicle, Sept. 30.)
On Saturday last the 53d Regiment underwent its half-
yearly inspectiun at Cork barracks, and the depots of the
25th and 88th Regitnents yesterday. Major-General Sir
George Bingham expressed his high satisfaction at the sol-
dierlike appearance and cleanliness of the men.
The Grenadier and Light Companies of the sth Regi-
ment, under Major Barrington, are stationed at Ourenard.
The garrison of Dublin is now composed of the Artillery,
Bth Hussars, 17th Lancers, 2d Battalion Guards, Bth
(King's), 32d, and 64th Regiments.
Major Pattison, commanding the Reserve Companies of
the 97th Regiment, has left Waterford for Wexford, to pre-
side at a district-court-martial ordered to assemble to day.
Captains Holmes and Stannus, and Lieutenant Made, ac-
companied him on the same duty.

YORK CORPORATION.—Yesterday (Friday)
a meeting of the Corporation was held, at the Guildhall,
for the purpose of electing an Alderman, in the place of
ROBERT C/lALONER, Esq., whose resignation we noticed
in our last. After the usual formalities, the election fell
upon the Honourable E. R. PETRE, of Stapleton Park,
who, we are glad to hear, is so far pleased with the ap-
pointment as to have expressed himself resolved, personally,
to attend to the duties of the important office, and to do
all in his power to discharge them to the full satisfaction
of the public. There were three gentlemen sent up as lights
from the Commons to the Aldermen ; these were (in addi-
tion to the lion. E. PETRE) M. STAPYLTON, Esq. and
Colonel WILSON, M.P. The votes of the Common Council
men, for Mr. STAPYLTON, were next in number to those
for the lion. E. PETRE.---. York Herald.
In consequence of the inconvenience felt and
the complaints made owing to the closing of some of the
General Post receiving-houses, Sir FRANCIS FREELING
has ordered several of them to be immediately re-opened.
THE SPINNERS.---We have just learned
(Friday night) that there is a probability of the spinners
going to work on Monday, at the masters' prices, but with-
out being requested to sign the obnoxious declaration.—
Manchester Times.

STATE OF TRADE.—We have nothing new
to state concerning trade, unless it be a novelty to be able
to say, that it is not worse than it was last week. We
should be glad to find, from the experience of another week,
that the downward progress of prices has been arrested, but
we confess that our expectations of improvement are very
slender.—Manchester Times.

THE HARVEST.—The weather since our
last may be said to have been uninterruptedly excellent ;
and stacks are accordingly starting up in our barn yards
with amazing rapidity. In the course of eight days, pro-
vided the weather continues as favourable as at present,
there will be little or no corn to cut down in the neigh-
bourhood of Elgin, The fears regarding the safety of the
crops occasioned by the late heavy rains and long conti-
nued bad weather, have now, we rejoice to say, turned out
to have been groundless. —Elgin Courier.

A French lady having a favourite dog, has in-
serted in one of the Paris Journals an advertisement in the
following tender language :—"Poor Favori is neither very
young nor ♦ery handsome, but very good and very affec-
tionate. The advertiser loved him much, and much
regrets him. Let the person who has taken or found
Favori despair of gaining his attachment. No ; he will
cry, he will groan, he will lose his appetite ; he will never
forget his former mistress ; and on any one being hard-
hearted enough to detain him, if there remain to this un-
happy little animal 15 or 20 days of life, it is the utmost.'.

PROVIDENTIAL PRESERVATION.----On
Monday afternoon, in High-street, a fine girl, about five
years of age, had a most miraculous escape with her life.
Some noise and bustle had got up in the close where the
girl resided, when (her mother being absent) she ran to
the window, and having lost her balance, fell out, but laid
hold of a rope which was placed across it for the purpose
of drying clothes. Ikre she hung for half a minute, to the
infinite terror of one or two individuals who witnessed her
awful situation ; but before it was possible they could ren-
der any assistance the child had fallen to the ground from
a height of four stories. When the people who had wit-
nessed the accident ran to lift her up, as they expected a
mangled corpse, what was their astonishment and grati-
tude, when the girl, in a hale voice, called, " Oh, mither,
dinna be angry, for I'm no hurt;" which; proved to be the
case, as they found that not a bone in her body bad been
broken. She is now doing well.— Glasgow Free Press. ,
