TBE WEa.rst ER.—The weather continues mild, and
so wet, that the spr;-.1 plants are already growing. Narcissi and
daffodils are shootine.bove ground, and the bulbous touts in gene-
ral are in a state of forwardness, which will probably cause many
to be cut off, and their flowering destroyed, by the frosts of the
coming winter.

yesterday at the Colonial Office, from Major-General Sir HOWARD

TM: ARMY.
•It is reported in the Military Circles, that a Major
of one of the Dragoon Regiments has lately been put
under arrest, in consequence of his having given an ex-
ceptionable toast at the Mess. We understand that he
was privately and gently rebuked by his superior Offi-
cer, who called him aside for the purpose; but that, on
tettuning to the table, he repeated the obnoxious toast.
It is eipected that a Court-Martial will have to settle
the business. An erroneous version of the affair appears
in the Alorning Papers, but we believe the above state-
ment will be found to be correct.

The 99th Regiment of Foot will embark, in January, 1825, for
the Mauritius, for the purpose of relieving the 56th Regiment of
Infantry, which is ordered home.
The 2d Reginient of Foot will embark, in the beginning of the
ensuing year, for Bombay, to relieve the 67th Regiment of In-
fantry, which is ordered home.
The 69th Regiment •of Foot is ordered, on being relieved at
Madras by the 48th Regiment of Infantry, from New South Wales,
to return to England.

Saturday, about 11 o'clock, the 17th Regiment of Lancers, under

up In the Military Field adjoining Chatham Barracks, in Review
order, when the Inspecting-General of Cavalry, Lord R. E. H.
SOMERSET, attended by his brother Lord JOHN SOMERSET, rode
into the Field, the band striking up God save the King. After
dose inspection, the Regiment went through their military evo-
lutions in fine style, and with surprising exactness. His Lord-
ship expressed hiinceil highly gratified with their military ap-
pearance, and their fine discipline, as also of the good condition
of their horses. The grand military Band, of the Lancers per-
formed a number of favourite marches and military airs.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.

The Comedy of the Wonder was repeated lust night,
cid Mrs. YATES'S clever representation of Donna
Nolante commanded the applause of a numerous and
elegant audience.—The Enchanted Courser is evidently
gaining wound, and was, upon the whole, well received.
.ties Cen► 11. was so unu ell as not to be able to go
iluough her pa: t.

COVENT-GARDEN.

A new candidate for dramatic fame, Mrs. SLOMAN,

late of the Rochester And several. other provincial
Theatres, made her appearance last night at Covent-
garden, in the character of Belt idera. Mrs. SLOMAt.
rossesses a sufficiently attractive figure; a countenance
pleasing on the stage; and alt gether more qualifica-
tion for acting tragedy than has been shewn by any
debutante for s:)me time past. Her Bdridera was, in
many parts, an excellent performance. She has an
agreeable voice, and commands the business of the stage
well—has a temperance and Unaffectedness of manner
and deportment, which, even where she falls short of
being excellent, generally secures her against offending.
The ear her parts of her performance were the best—
the expression of tenderness is the strongest point in her
acting. Her first scene with Jeer, in this style, was
very good, and at once secured the attention of the
audience. The reproachful repetition afterwards of the
words with which her husband gives her up to the
conspirators—,. To you, Sirs, and to) our honours, 1
bequeath her," &c. displayed great judgment and feel.
ing, and obtaiaed considerable alspl.►ute. The manner
of her dying, and the shriek on hearing the fate of
etc excellent. The hest point, however, about
the be al actress is a style generally unaffected, with,
' occasionally, considerable pathos, and sweetness of ex-
pression. Her defect, is a want of force in situations
demanding strong exeition ; but if she can do other
things as well as she does Belvidet a, she will be of
value in the Theatre. Mr. YOUNG played Pierre ad-
mirably, and with greater spirit than ever we saw him
exert. He is unquestionably the best Pierre upon the
stage. Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE gave to the part of
.Idfier all the advantages of his sound knowledge and
tine fi4ure. The conspirators were as Cato-street-
looking as usual.

Major CROKER, of the 17th Regiment of Infantry,
has arrived at his father's seat, 13,41inaguard, in the county of Lime-
rick, after many years active And distinguished service in India.

Colonel PRATT is shortly expected at Cormy Castle,

The Gothic front in Palace-yard, Westminster, begins
