A board of field officers has been sitting in Dublin garrison
For some da)s, in order to suggest to the commander of the
Forces the necessity of economising the expenses of regi-
mental mess establishments.

Last Wednesday, while Captain Arthur Williains, of the
Lancers, was hunting with the hounds of the Marquis of
Hastings, in leaping a brook, he was thrown lion; his horse
and unfortunately broke one of his legs,

A letter from Vienna of the 14th inst, states that the police

LAW AND PHYSIC.—One doctor and two latvvers were
picked up by the police on Tuesday night, and consigned to
the care of the Bridewell-keeper. In the morning they paid
their fines and were discharged—sober. The trio, of course,
were Radicals.—Cork paper.
WHITEHALL, Nov. 20.—The Queen has been pleased to

PARIS, Nov. 26.—The weather bas become soddenly cold,
We had last night a very severe frost, and it has snowed flout.
10 o'clock this morning throughout the entire day. 11 has
been remarked to day, that precisely at the same ti..tir on the
same day (Nov. 26) in the year 1829, commenced the dread-
fulluies of frosts that continued during full four months,
(dainnav and Dietriehsen's Almanack, Astronomical
Ephemeris, and Book of General Information for 1839. —We
are positively at a loss for words to express our astonishment
at the unparelleled comprehensiveness of the A lrnanack just
published by Messrs. Hannay and Dietrichscn, for the ensu-
ing year. There is scarcely a subject in the usual routine of
events to which we do not find reference in this book of 100
pages, at the insignificant cost of 6d.; a sum which positively
can little more than cover the price of the paper. The bio-
graphical and chronological tables are exceedingly interest-
ing, particularly those for the present year. The tides,
eclipses, &c. are duly noticed, cud the progress of Eneke's
comet during the remainder of the present year, and Gam-
bart's in 1839, are traced by diagrams of the heavens. We
have the list of the royal households; the House of Lordi,
giving the titles of the Peers, the family name, the motto of
the Peers, cud date of creation ; the House of Commons is
given twice, first alphabetically, secondly arranged by the
places thismembers represent; the whole of the army list,
giving the officers' names aphabetically arranged, (Ht desidera-
tum long wanted) with the dates of commission, :and the ap-
pointment theofficer bolds; the navy list is given in like man-
ner; the bankers, the provincial and metropolitan; the cor-
poration dignities; ambassadors and consuls; universities;
the list of fairs throughout the kingdom is by far the best
ever printed ; and in short, as we have before.ohserved, in-
formation upon every possible topic of inter.,t is afforded to
the public in this most useful pamphlet. Messrs. Hannay
and Dictrichsen have certainly put all companion out of the
field, for, we should say, it would be impossibie for any other
firm to produce a similar compilation at five times the cost."
