THE ARMY.

Thursday a highly Interesting and perfectly novel ceremony mink
place in Waterford, in the Infantry liarraeks—the presenting of
new colours to the 73d Regiment of Foot, by Mrs. OCoemzit.,
the Lady of their Colonel.
NOSITY.SECOND HICIIILANGICRII.-11tursday forenoon the first
division of the Service Companies of this gallant Regiment, under
the command of Colonel WILLIAMSON, disembarked at Leith, Irons
the transports in which they had made the voyage from Ports-
,mouth, after their arrival from Jamaica. In their progress from
Leith to Edinburgh Castle, they were surraufided by crowds of
their cosntrymen, who joyfully bailed their return to their native
country. Colonel Viteualmos rode at the bead of the division.
The other Officers who have arrived are Captains Nou. and
FORM., Lieutenants &mimes' and SUTHERLAND, and Ensign Alao.'
They sailed from Jamaica on the 19th February, mid from Potts-
mouth on the Ist instant. The Ind hat been eight years in Ja-
maica, in the course of which time about eight hundred men fell
victims to the climate—a greater loss than any regiment suffered
doting the *even years' war in Spain. We felt nut a little proud
to see our gallant cruntrymen arrive in the garb of Old Gaol, a
costume hued neither for the Arctic nor the Torrid Zone, bat
which every Scotchman is proud-tit recognize as the peculiar ciss-
racteti,tic of the watriors of his native laud. In Jamaica the hilt
was worn only on Sundays and holidays. We were also glad tit
observe, that though the cheeks of the gallant wanderers were
deeply tinged by a torrid sun, their athletic forms had suffered
little by a lout sojourn in a deadly elimate.—sOdeilsosiso Ilercsry.
