ThE ARMY.

THE CANADIAN ARMAAIENT.—The
in
of cavalry
destined for Canada are to be reinoun'ed in that country, Major
Biggs, of the7th Hussars, accompanied by a veterinary surgeon,
having received orders to proceed there, and select such horses
as may be required for the purpose. The clothing of the Light
infantry-regiments serving, or about to serve in Canada, is not
to undergo any alteration, as reported. Neither the 15th Hus-
sars, ith Fusileers, our either battalion of the Rifle Brigade,
are under order for America, as stated. The Ap alto troop ship
is destined to convey out to Halifax some of the.drifts intended
for restiments now serving in Canada. It is now currently re--
ported that the expedition intended fol. Canada will fall very
little short 10,000 men. Had not events in Canada turned out
as they have done, we believe itwas the intention of the Secretary
at War tohave propsed the reduction of no less than six regi-
ments—namely, the 9lth, 95th, 96th, 97th, 98th, and 93th. Au
.act of madness bas satire(' us from this act of folly.—Times.

Major General Sir J. Macdonnell, equerry to the Queen
Dowager, has been offered the command of one of the divisions
of the army to he sent to the Canadas, and it is understood has
accepted it. The right hon. gentleman at present commands
oneof the districts in Ireland.
The.board of orddance has given notice that tenders will be
received for supplying 2,000 shells to be delivered in the shortest
time possible.
Colonel Sir George Teesdale goes out in command of the
three squadrons of the King's Dragoon Guards to Canada.
THE 93d HIGHLANDERS.—The right wing of this gallant
regiment embarked on Monday in the Pique fur Halifax.
The volunteer companies of the 66th depot, which arrived in
Fermoy on the 16th, marched on Tuesday morning for Cove. to
embark forthwith for Canada. The men appeared in high
spirits, and wore their white trowsers, although the weather was
exceedingly cold! and frosty. This, it would appear, is in order
to inure them to the severe climate to which they are proceed-
ing.

LIVEIIPOOT, CO UN EXCIIANGF. JAN. n.

8 ince Tuesday List the imports of Wheat,, Oats, Flour and 0 itmea 1
from Ireland, and of Malt and- Barley coastways have been t: ) a fair
extent—cf4usidering that the winds have been easterly, and the. com-
munication with the country entirely stopped during the past week.
The demand for every description of grain has been more ci,*eum-
scribed, although sales to a moderate extent have been effected at an
advance of Id to 2d per 701bs. on Wheat, is per 2601b5. on Flour., and
6d per 24e1bs. on Oatmeal; for Oats, Malt, Barley, Beaus and l' ease,
last quotations have been obtained ;—in all our country Corn ma.•kets
a similar advance occurred on Flour and Oatmeal and on all Gra in—
accessible for immediate consumption.
The only alteration in the duties payable on Foreign Grain since
Friday; is an increase on Rye and Pease of is 61 per quarter ; sev. oral
small sales have been effected during the past week of the best .ie-
seriptions of Wheat in bond at 4s fid to 5s 3d, and the finest White
Dantzic is now held at 5s 6,1 per 701 b ;—European sweet Flour in bond
is now so scarce as to be hardly obtainable under 28s per barrel ;
and fine foreign Oats in bond have found a little demand fur expinq
at 2s 8d to 3s, and fine Dutch Brew would reach 3s 3d per 451bs.
The frost which has uninterruptedly c•mtinued since the Bth instant-,
with a severity to which we have been long unaccustomed, and with--
out any snow, in this district. was yesterday suddenly succeeded by
a mild thaw, but even with a continuance thereof (which appears
very doubtful) the Canals cannot be clear of ice for some days, we
have in conseqnence experienced very dull sales at this day's market
and to a limited extent; the above noted advance was not obtainable
for Wheat, and barely supported for Flour and Oatmeal, and in the
value of all other articles we make no variation since thi4 day week.
