THE ARMY.

.

Wednesday, six Troops of the 'Scotch Greys marched into Tps.
siich, and on 'Thursday morning four Troops left that town, on
their route to Norwich.
Tuesday, the East Suffolk Militia were inspected in the Ca-
valry
Barracks, Ipswich, by the Right Honourable the earl of
Eurrort. The Regiment, after receiving his Lordship, passed by in
review, when the line was formed and the Battalion went through
several evolutions, agreeable to the new system ; the wheel of the
close column, and formation of solid square, were performed
with the greatest precision; the advance in line in quick time was
admirable, as well as the different firings. Major Bence com-
manded the Regiment in the several evolutions. After the gene-
ral salute, his Lordship ordered the Regiment to be formed into
a square, when he addresse.T them, expressing his entire approba-
tion of the progress they bad made during the short period they
had been assembled. Indeed it was admitted by many military
men, who were present, that the whole would have done credit to
any old established Regiment, and it is truly astonishing how men,
in so short a period, could be brought to such a state of discipline—
it reff-cts great credit upon the Adjutant-Captain litexuaat, who
his been unremitting in his exertions. We cannot close our re-
marks without noticing, that the gentlemanly conduct and spirited
liberality of the Officers, together with the uniform good conduct of
the men, entitle them to the best wishes of the town and neigh-
hoorhood, —lpswich inertial, Jul!' Y.
Saturday, the 25ili ult. the Galloway Regiment of Militia",
minded by Colonel Maiwrit,, jun. of • Cardonness, was inspected
and reviewed at Kirlict.dbright, by Colonel *Committee 'MAX..
weer., late of his Majesty's :,oth Regiment, who was pleased to
express his most unqualified approbation of their steadiness and
discipline. Although the new system of maticeuvritig adopted by
the Army was introduced for the first time, the corps seemed com-
pletely at home in it. The celerity and accuracy with which a Ps•
dicious selection of evolutions was performed, was truly astonish-
ing. On Tuesday la't, the men were dismissed to their homes,
their period of drilling being completed.
hin.rrta.—lf we may judge from our Militia, the life of a sol-
dier is far from being an idle one. Upon an average, they are
drilled six hours every day, and have already attained a degree of
steadiness, which seems quite surprising, considering the short time
they have been embodied. Monday morning, they wet e marched
into Dumfries for the first time, and performed a few movements
with so much precision. that a stranger might have mistaken them
for troops of the line. The Noble Commander spares no pains, and
though the duty may be hard, his Lordship himself takes his full
share of it—being generally the first person in the field in the
morning, and the last to leave it, after the drill is over.—Duns-

IVESTMINSTER ADJOURNED SESSIONS,

(THIS DAY).

LORD H A RBOROUGII.

It was generally expected that this Nobleman would have been
put on his trial this morning for the violent assault and battery
committed by his Lordship on one of the St. James's watchman,
with•a poker, at Stevens's hotel, in Bond street, and in conse-
quence the Court was very full, but the auditory were disappointed,
as the tfbal has been moved by his Lordship, by Certiorari, into the
Court of Kines Bench, and will come on next Term.
Mr. James Payne, a Sheriffs Officer's Assistant, stood indicted for
violently assaulting, on the 12th June last, Archibald Brakie, one of
the watchmen of StJames's.—lt appeared from the evidence of the
watchman, that about twelve o'clock on the night in question, he was
on in. Regent-street, near the Quadrant, and stood opposite
the house No. 102. The defendant, without the slightest provoca-
tion, took his stick from him, and on civilly requesting him to return
it, he struck him repeatedly with his fists, felled him to the ground,'
and gave him a pair of black eyes. •
On the past of the defendant, several witnesses were called, who
proved that the watchman gave the first offence, behaved in a most
indecent manner, and even charged another person with the assault.
The witnesses all declared the prosecutor was intoxicated.
The CHAIRMAN recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury, without
hesitation, found the defendant Not Guilty.
