The Thaffies Tifidel is a large bricked tube, which paSges
under the bed of the stream. The purpose for which it was
constructed has neve: been clearly ascertained, but some
highly scientific individuals have conceived that during a
severe winter it is intended to be filled with boiling water, and
so insure the uninterrupted navigation ceche river by pre-
venting an accumulation of ice. Others have imagined that
it is to be converted into a powder magazine, and in case of
invasion, to be used as an American torpedo and set the
Thames on fire, or blow up the enemy's fleet, whilst our own
men-of-war are safely anchored—in Ptid‘nedock.—Pftneh. •

TIIE ARMY.—CHATHAM, APRIL 4,.—Yesterday after-
noon the first division of the 84th Regiment of Foot, com-
prising 15 sergeants, three drummers, and 358 rank and file,
marched into Rochester, and was immediately quartered in
the city. The 84th Regiment is from Fermay, in Ireland,
which place they left on the 19th instant, and arrived at Cork
on the 20th, where the regiment immediately embarked on
board the Victory steamer, and disembarked at Bristol on
the 21st. Thence they proceeded by railroad to Reading, and
marched to Basingstoke, on their route to Winchester ; but,
owing to an official order, their march was countermanded,
and the regiment was ordered to proceed to Gravesend. The
troops consequently proceeded by railroad from Basingstoke
to London. and marched from London to Gravesend, where
the second division is now billeted, the head-quarters re-
maining at Dartford. It is very creditable to the soldiers
that during their long march they had not a single prisoner.
The whole of the regiment is healthy and in excellent spirits,
and are young men. The strength of the regiment is 1,060
rank and file, six of whom only are above 30 years of age.
The regiment, an their leaving Ireland, were unexpectedly
joined by 50 volunteers from the 89th regiment, The first
division is under the command of Major Clerk, with Captain
Veith, Captain Coxe, Lieutenant Mathew Casson, Lieute-
nant Harrison, Lieutenant Lightfoot, and Assistant-Surgeon
Fox. The second division is under the command of Lieute-
nant Colonel Willington. The head quarters of the regiment
is under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Maclean. The
regiment takes out 180 women, being allowed 12 women to
each company ; as many children follow also. At present
there are no orders when the troops are to embark, as the
names of the ships which are to convey the troops to the
east are not yet known. This morning a detachnlent of the
2d Queen's marched from Chatham garrison, to embark on
board the ship Lord Lynedoch. This detachment consisted
54 rank and file, under the command of Lieutenant Deshon,
of the 22d regiment of Foot, bound for Bombay.
