We lately stated that the GBth and 74th Reginieriti
Were ordered to North America, in addition to which
we have to announce, that the 51st and 90th, both
tight Infantry, are under orders for the same desti-
nation. All these troops are to embark about the
27th of March—the 68th and 74th at Cork. .

troops, arrived at Cove from Deptford.

ajor .7111atos is Acting Paythaster of the 84th,
Gamin, deceased.
he late Colonel HAMILTON, of Ilardowie, in &ii-
lingshire, and of Lenny, in Dumbartonshire, who died
at Tours, as stated in a former paper, whither he went
for the recovery of his health, was brother to the
learned Dr. CLautilus BUCIIAYNAN, who wrote the
History of the Mysore Country, and brother-in-law
'to Sir ROBERT CRAWFORD, Bart. His loss is most
deeply and justly lamehted, not only by his nearest
relations, but by a numerous acquaintance in the
highest circles of life, who well knew how to appre-
ciate his goodness of heart and the many amiable qua-
lities of his mind. lie vi.is a most delightful com-
panion, being one of the best informed men of his
time. MTSAIAMILTON, uho never left him an hour
dining his protracted illness, is inconsolable, has had
his body embalmed, and so soon as she is recovered
from the severe shock of having snatched away from
her one of the most indulgent of husbands, accom-
panies his sad remains fir interment 'at one of his
seats in Scotland. Dying without issue, he is suc-
ceeded in his estates by his brother Dr. CLAUDIUS
BUCIIANNA N.

•
THE DUNE OF CLARENCF. AND MISSWYKEHAH.-•
At present, the only formal progress we hear of to-
wards their marriage is, that the Duke of CLARENCE
has given the legal notice of his intention to the
Privy Council-Miss WygEttAm, the Lady in ques-
tion, is twenty-eight years of age, of a countenance
prepossessing, though not highly distinguished for
beauty, of a gOod fikure, and a most ingenuous dif-
position. She is in possession of between seventeen
and eighteen thousand pounds a year, landed pro-
perty, with a very large sum of money, accumulated
during her minority.
The Drawing-room, which was held at Dublin-
Castle, on T, ID day evening, was numerously and
splendidly attended, it being known that the Coun-
tess TALBOT was, for the first time, to grace that As-
sembly. There were upwards of eight hundred per-
sons present, of the fint rank and character in Ire-
land. Nearly four hundred Ladies were presented.
The carriages, until a late hour, formed continued
lines through Dame-street, College Green, Westmor-
land-street, &c. &c. His EXCELLENCY, and the whole
of the Vice-regal family have taken up their residence
at the Castle.

The Earl of CLARA has arrived at his seat at
Mountshannon.

The Earl of DARTMOUTH is arrived at his house in
Berkeley-square front the Continent ; his brother,
the Hon. Mr. LEGGR, arrived yesterday, from his seat
in Staffordshire.
It is mentioned in the Law Circles in Ireland that
Judge DAY will retire alter the Circuits, to make
room for Mr.Serjeant BURTON.
The Oratorio, last night, at Drury-lane Theatre,
attracted a very numerous audience, and gave ugi
versa! satisfaction.

There is a certain Lady, very intimate with some
well-known Gentlemen not One Hundred miles from
Cornhill, who expects to be addressed this year by a
great number of suitors ; and what is very surprising,
it is her intention to oblige very many of them with
her favours. Not to give occasion for scandal, the
Public are informed that this lady is Foritzne, who
will shower her gifts in abundance on those who soli-
cit her favours in the present Lottery, through the
medium of her old Favourites, MARTIN and Co. 8,
Cornhill, and 120, Orford-street, who in the last and
preceding Lotteries, sold the Grand Prize of 4.0,0t0)/.
besides Prizes of 20,0001. 10,000/. 2,0001. &c. The
Lottery begins Drawing next Wednesday. There are
3 Prizes of 30,000/. besides 97 other Capitals, with
12 Pipes of Port.
The extraordinary preference, which the Public
have given to WBBB'S Offices, 9, Cornhill, and 17,
Ludgate-street, in the present Lottery, is easily ac-
counted for :—The Scheme contains THREE STER-
LING PRIZES of 30,0001. and CAPITALS of this de-
scription are seldom Sold any where elle? For in-
Istance—the Lottery drawn in May, 1815, contained
ONLY ONE Prize of 30,0001. and THAT WAS SOLD BY
WEBB ! The next Lottery, drawn in August, cons
tained ONLY ONE Prize of 30,0001. and THAT ALSO
WAs SOLD BY WEnn ! The Lottery drawn in May.
11816, contained Two Prizes of 30,9001. and ONE f
these WAS SOLD BY WEBB ! Thus it appears that,
since May, 1815, there have been ONLY FOUR MONEY
Prizes of 30,000/. and THREE OP THEM WERE SOLD
BY WEBB ! Such plain and Sterling FAcrs as these,
will no doubt have more Weight with the Public than
any PuEr.
A fire broke out on the morning of the 12th inst. at ( teat:-
rouz, in France, in the spinning manufactory of M. Godard, rre-
'Adult of the Tribunal in that town, which sonsuratd the whetle
of the buildings. The loss is eatimatcd at .50,000 :rovvils.
