GRAFI 1111,111 W OF THI ZIGHTT4IVEITIC

On Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock, the 117th Regiment or
vAI Irish Fusileers, was inspected in review order in the squat*
of the Barracks, Regent Road, by the Commander of the District,
Major Gen. S:r W. E. Bouverie, K.CB. who had been occupied
several days previously in a minute examination of the books, ffic:
of the Regiment, assisted by Mr. Anderson, of the War Office, and
the officers of his staff. On the arrival of the General in front of
the line, which was strikingly imposing, he was received with
the usual salute by the Regiment, which afterwards marched by
him in close and quick time. There was no firing, and a part only
of the nsu tl marauvres were executed by the battalion—such as
advancing in echellon, in companies from the right, forming close
column in the rear, of the right and centre subdivisions advancing
in close column, deploying into line, retreating in fine, severed by
skirmishes, &c. The movements w. re directed successively by the
'Commander, and fisid utfi as. by a Captain and junior subaltern af
the regiment, for the purpose, we pre.ume, of proving the compe-
tency of officers of all grades for command. The whole of the move-
ments were executed with the rapidity and accuracy 4.1 veterans.
and . effected much credit hods on the men and their offizers, who
have brought these young soldiers to rbe state of perf.-ct on le
they appeared. The General seemed highly gratified wi h the
whole pros. edings, and looked extremely well. Many years have
elapsed since the writer of this grit saw General liouverie; it was
on " Roocesvalle's height," when the gnglith flag waved on the
summit of the Pyrenees. The saline and experienced Officer
(then Colonel Bouverie,) held at that time the situation of Adju-
tant-General to the-second division of the Army of the Peniosula.
The frost of 16 winters since h.s bleached his hair, but though,
in the language of the poet,

Years steal
Fire from the eye, and vigour from the limb,"
they have nut bent the (rant:, or quenched the lustre of Ma eye.—
Few Officers have seen inure active service than be, and very few
of his rank are wont to eserciur the politeness and affihility which
characterise Sir W. E. !Univ.-de. Use abilities di:played in the
various important duties connected with the situation above re-
ferred to. gained him the entire confidence of the chief of the
division, 11111, and his urbanity and gentlemanly dvportment to the
I Accra of the dividon of every service requiring hh advice or
assioance, won for him " Golden opinions from all ranks."
The General was attended on Saturday by Lieut.-Colonal Shaw,
the resident Adjutant-General. and Lieutenant Colonel Thorn of
the same department, his faithful and well tried friend and assistant
ou many occa:ions of difficulty and peril. It Is gratifying to per-
crier officers like these enjoying the reward of their long and faith-
tul services. _ _

The Regiment having lattly received the honour of being ap-
pointed one of the " Royal" Regiments, their uniform is about to
be altered so as to resemble that of the uniform of the other
" Royal" Regiments, which is turned up with blue. Two of the
Mtn appeared on the ground in the new uniform of the Regiment.
for the purpose of exhibiting its effect to she General. It is ex-
pected that the new inform will be adopted by the whole of the
Regiment about the beginning of the year.—Moisthesier Mercury.

BAREFACED PI. AC .I A RISIL-It would afford US much
satisfaction to find that the poetical contributions which
occasionally appear in " TII F. STAR" afforded aliment
to all the ungraced muses of Grub-street :—nay,we should
even wink at their petty pilferings— provided the objects
of our benevolence had but common gratitude to acknow•-
lege from whose "alms-basket of words" they had "stolen
the scraps." In "THE STAR" of November 16, the
following Epigram appeared :
THE DUEL.

How did that duel end at Staines?
They fired three shots aideee, they say ;
Bat—aiming at each others' brains.
The balls met nothing in their way !
The X-poetaster, who " does the doggrel" for the Public
Ledger has, this day, with all the easy impudence
imaginable, hoaxed the Editor of that Paper by the fol-
lowing barefaced plagiarism:—
THE SCOTCH DUEL.
Two Northern scribes in merry mood,
CaU'd names—no law could hind 'eni' •
They met—each sought the other's brains—
They Bred—but could not find then ! X.
