THE ARMY.

Lord Inma' Sowssam, as Military Secretary to the Cam.
ptander.ia•Chief, went through his list yesterday, at his Office in
the Horse Guards.
A party of Sappers and Miners, under the toninsand of Colonel
,'altar, went by water from Chatham to Maidstone, to practise
the construction cafe Postaisa Bridge over the Medway. The bridge
was put together with surprising celerity, and parties of Cavalry
passed and repassed over it with great facility and security.
His Majesty's Gemnsawat las ettablisbed very advantageous re.
/illations for the emouragfiseal of Officer, on half•pay settling la
New South Wales and Vas Dieman's Land; but t►ey do not ez-
tend to Officers of the Navy or Royal Marines of inferior rank to'

s Csptain in the Army.
We treat we are rightly Informed ss.t►the Marna Gumma of
the Outlaws having it in contemplation to pionsote that nserfto-
rious class of Officers, the Lientenaste olh Artillery of fifteen years
standing an% upwards. •There are Officers of this rank who ha,,
seen Lieutenants for twenty years, and who have shared in most,
if not all, the perils and triumphs which the arms of Easkad en-
countered and won from the Bret coofficts in the Peninsula to the
crowning glory of Waterloo. Surely to have so loos neglected the
just claims of men who deserve se well of their country reflects dis-
credit somewhere. It Is acknowledged that the English artillery,
daring the course of the last war, Improved beyond all former expe-
rience, and that to Its admirable officiary we are mainly indebted for
the decisive victory which terminated the last war, and gave the
dial check to the military genius of Nonmetal. Oa that day, so
eveiettel in dr history of Europe, tie conduct of oar artillery wag
beyond ail praise. Never did that department of tee service prove
aril, in the critical moment when the fate of t►e nation war in the
balance, more dreadfully effective. It annihilated t►e Old
Gaged, who had followed their ambitious Chief ever so many
Stith of Amory, and who, by their heroic efforts, had been
accustomed to torn the fortune. of battle. It is painful to
taw, that the merits of t►e Officers who performed seek
rest and splendid service to their country were not kept In

MR. WATTS MONUMENT

A montment to the late Judas WATT, Esq. has very
recently been erected it Handsworth church, near Bir-
mingham, in the neighbourhood of which, .•for many
yeas, this celebrated character resided.On the south side

of the church,close against the communion, aGothicCha-
pel, about 12 feet by 8 feet, has been built over the'
cemetery of Mr. Watt's family, and in which the remains
of this Gentleman sire now deposited. The interior of
this erection is cased with stone from the celebrated
quarry at Roach Abbey, its Yorkshire, the ceiling of
which is also stone, grained Gothic. Nearly in the
centre of the building stands a marble Gothic pedestal,
on the 'sides of which are cut the arms of the deceased,
and on the front the following istscription t

JAMES WATT,
BORN
19 JANVARY,

1736, -
DIED
25 AVGYST,

PATRI OPTIaIE MERITO,
I& hi P.
Upon this pedestal is placed the full-length figure of Mr.
Watt, in statuary marble, from the chisel of Francis
Chantry, Esq. seated in a Grecian chair. On the figure
is a loose gown ; one knee is thrown over the other ;
across the thigh lies a book open, and in the right hand
is a pair of compasses, as in the act of tracing upon the
page. The attitude is easy in the extreme, end the fea-
tures and figure altogether of this beautiful piece of
sculpture bear a very remarkable resemblance to the
late Mr.Watt.—Th,ough a Gothic arch in the wall of the
Church, this exquisite specimen of the art is presented
to the view of the spectators, and which will stand
among the best productions of Chantry to the memory
of one of the most scientific characters of the present
age. The stone work was ekecated by Mr. Hollins, of
Great Hampton►street, in this town.—Birmittsham Jour,
