It is generally supposed that the British regiments

tion, will proceed to the Weser, in order to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity afforded by the establish-

raising the standard of the lawful Sovereign in the
Electorate of Hanover. These regiments are forth-
with to be augmented to the full strength of 1000
men each battalion. The augmentation is to be
made by the admission of German recruits, •Rho are
to be found in abundance, and without a moment's
delay, ready trained to the use of arms, and ardent

Sin Jolla MURRAY.—We have great satisfaction ,
in being enabled at length to set at rest the anxiety
of our Military Readers, and the Public at large,
upon the subject of the long-expected investigatkn
of the failure of the expedition against Tarragona,
and the awkward circumstance of the abandonment
of the artillery on the re-embarkation. A Com t of In-
quiry
is forthwith to be held for this purpose at Paler-
mo. No person having preferred any charges, a Court
Martial cannot be held till a Court -of Inquiry shall
have determined whether there is any ground for fur-
ther proceeding. We understand that, with becoming
regard to his character, Sir JOHN MURRAY himself
demanded this proceeding. General DUNKIN, who
was second in Armand under Sir JOIIN MURRAY,
and is just arrived in London from Spain, has been
ordered to depart immediately to give his evidence
before the Court. The order for General DUNKIN'S
attendance was sent from Sicily to Catalonia, where
it was not received till after the General had depar-
ted for England on leave of absence. The order was
transmitted without delay to England, and the im-
mediate departure that we have intimated has been
ordered in consequence. We have not heard who is
to preside at the Court, nor of what officers it is to
be composed.
A circular letter has been transmitted to the Lords
Lieutenants of Counties, by the Secretary of the
Home Department, for the purpose of rendering
more effective, and of more general use, that valu-
able corps. the yeomanry cavalry. With a view to
this important object, Lord SIDAIOUTH recommends
the forming the separate troops, or small corps, into
regiments, consisting of not less than six troops,
where there are so many in the county, and that each
regiment should perform its annual exercise of twelve
days, as permanent duty, at one acid the same pe-
riud, and be subject, during that time, to one inspec-
tion. Corps so formed, and consenting to assemble
annually for the period above mentioned, are in fu-
ture, in lieu of present allowances,
.to receive the
same pay and allowances as are granted to the re-
gular cavalry. In such counties as do not furnish
six troops, these regulations may be carried into ef-
fect, provided the whole number, not being less than
three, shall consent to the conditions herein specified.
In those counties where there are single troops unat-
tached to any regiment, such troops will be required,
to entitle them to the benefit of, these allowances,
either to become part of such existing regiments, or
to form themselves into new corps, consisting of not
less than three troops each.

The only alterations making in the chambers of
Parliament are, the new avenue for Members of the
House of Commons to the gallery leading to their
House, which precludes the necessity of coming
through the waiting-rooms, and the taking• away of
the fireplace in the lower or anti-lobby of the Com-
mons, which is to be replaced by a large Russian
stove, which will diffuse a greater and more equable
warmth through that necessary apartment.
Sunday morning, for a wager of £5, a stonemason,

which he accomplished eight minutes within the time.
