THE ARMY.

Three hundred of the East Norfolk Militia sta-
tioned at Sheerness, have marched to Chatham ; they
, are to be relieved !by 800 of the Bth Veteran Bata-
lion,%from the Tov,,r, London.
Friday last, preparatory to their being disbanded,
the Ist East Kent Rerite..mt of Local Militia, were
reviewed by the Lord-Lieutenant, accompanied by
Lieutenant-General Nicou.s, Brigadier-General HAI',
&c. in their exercise ground near Canterbury, and
went through the several firings and movements
with a steadiness and precision, which justly entitled
them to the approbation of his Lordship, and the
General Officers who were present. On Saturday
this fine body of men delivered up their arms, and
fttutned to their respective homes to resume their
civic duties, grateful for the attentions they had ex-
perienced from their officers. On the above oc-
casion each man of the reeiment was presented
with a shill* by %Weir Coloth', GEORGE FINCH
HATTON, and an elegant: dinner was given by the
officers to a company of nearly 60 persons, at the
Head-quarters (the King's Head inn), among whom
were 'Earl' CAMDEN, Lieutenant-General /shcous,
. Brigadier General HAY, with their Staffs, Lieutenant
Colonel Winia, the Field Officers of the Queen's
Dragoon Guards, and 23d Light Dragoons, Sir ED-
WARD KNATCFIBULL, Bart. JOHN BAK Int and EDWARD
Txmon, Esqrs. The Dean of Canterbury, with
several of the Clergy, and most of the principal gentry
in the vicinity. The afternoon was pasied with the
utmost festivity, and the sacrifices to Bacchus pro-
longed int continuance to a late hour, before the com-
pany separated.
After the review of the Local Militia on Friday las? •
the Lord Lieutenant proceeded to inspect the Canter-
bury Rifle Corps and Volunteer Infantry, and was
pleased to express his approbation of their manceuvres
• _ and appearance. In the course of this review an un-
fortunate accident occurred to one of the Rifle Corps,
a young man of the name of Gillham, a sadler, of
Canterbury : he was lying on the ground, and while
firing, a spark communicated to his powder-horn, con-
taining about three quarters of a pound, which ex-
ploding on his right side, blew to atoms his jacket,
and burned and injured him so much, that he was
carried insensible from the field, but we are happy to
learn that there are hopes of his recovery ; a part of
the horn at the same time was blown against, and laid
open the thigh of his comrade, who was posted next
to him.

In consequence of an application to the War Office,
by the Magistrates of Kidderminster, the 2d battalion
of the 36th regiment marched again to that place,
Ire m Worcester, on Sunday se'nnight. The reason
signed foe this removal is, to guard against the con-
sequences which any riotous proceedings might pro-
duce, and which many suspicious circumstances have
latterlyconcurredtoappreliend.Anightpatrolehasbeen
likewise established as a further security, and its utility
was observable on Friday night. Two men were dis-
covered lurking Ole streets, of an appearance
by no means prepossessing; and, on being searched,
a pistol, dark lanthorn, tinder-box, picklock keys, in-
- struments for breaking open doors, &c. were found in
their possession.. A minute investigation having been
made, they were committed to Worcester gaol as
rogues and vagabonds.
rats.—Yesterday evening a new-built house, in
Montague-square, was destroyed by fi.l, originating
in some carpenters employed in an i!djoining building,
beating their glue with shavings, which communicated
to the scaffolding-poles, and thence to the above.
