Officers from the effects of the Walchcren fever.

West Indies, has already got many recruits. The'
head-quarters are at Sandown barracks in the Isle of
Wight. Their Colonel, the Duke of YORK Soo.
goes down to pay a visit to the regiment. He will
be met by the Duke of GLouessTert. Lord CAvAN,I
General Worru.tm, General TAYLOR, and a long
train of Officers at the Isle of Wight.
Various names are handed about in military circles
as the successor to General NEWLY in the chief com-
mand of our armies in India. It is likewise reported
that a successor to the Hon. General MAITLAND Willi
at the same time go out for the chief command at
Ceylon; and that the new Commanders will carry
out with them a complete change of the Stalin Ben
gal, Ceylon, and Madras.
A transport has just arrived at Plymouth with,

The trial of Daniel Aris will not take place at the
ensuing Old Bailey Sessions, as the Magistrates have
remanded him pro forma for another exam►nation in a

that there may be time for the apprehension, if pos-
sible, of Harper alias Smith, and Roberts.
Saturday morning, a youth, about 16 years of age,
bathing in a piece of water at Mile-end, was seized
with the cramp and drowned.
Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, a well-dressed
man, accompanied by his wife and her sister, was
driving in a gig, with a spirited horse, rapidly down
Highgate-hill, and being rather intoxicated, he at-
tempted to turn short into Maiden-lane, leading to-
wards Pancras ; but he had scarcely entered the lane
when the gig was up-set, threw its company into the
road, and very nearly overwhelmed in its fall two
gentlemen, with their wives and families, who were
accidentally passing on foot at the moment, and had
not time to get out of the way. The driver was
thrown with great violence against the ground at the
feet of one of the gentlemen, who had just presence
of mind to snatch away his son, a little boy of six
years old, and, who must have been killed had the
man fallen on him. The horse got entangled in the
harness, and plunged so violently, as to excite consi-
derable alarm in the ladies near him, and who had
not room to escape. The unfortunate driver was
taken to an adjacent public-house, to await surgical
assistance, but with little hopes of recovery ; and his
female companions were very severely bruised and
wounded by their fall, particulgly their faces, which
were streaming with Wood.
