U. S. JOURN . No. 26. JAN . 1831 . At Frankfort - on - the - Maine , Lieut . Colonel H. Abraham Lane . He served during the Conti nental campaigns in the 12th Lancers , from which he was promoted to a Majority in the 76th Infantry , and had but lately attained his unat tached Lieutenant - Colonelcy . The Newcastle Chronicle . SATURDAY , MARCH 5 , 1831 . STATE OF MEATH . - In consequence of large assemblages of people , to the amount of several thousands , having taken place in the neighbourhood of Kells and Nobber , who marched through the country demanding a reduction of rents , particu larly of potatoe - ground - an advance of wages to one shilling a day - and the threats they held out against the Magistrates and Gentry -- the government have thought it expedient to send a troop of the 12th lancers and a company of the 92d Highlanders to the neighbourhood . We understand Major Warburton , the stipendiary Magistrate , had previously left town by orders of Government . - Among other threats held out against the Gentry , was a circular desiring them to meet at the peril of their lives , and the safety of their property , at a place indicated , for the purpose of settling the rate of wages , and the prices to be paid for the carriage of goods , & c . All the useful farming operations are suspended , and in some ca ses they insist on spade husbandry and no other . - Dublin Eve ning Post . March 25 , 1831 . Neither the 12th Lancers nor Enniskilling Dragoons had , up to Yesterday , received any notice of removal - a circumstance of rather unusual occurrence , as the cavalry changes through out the two kingdoms are generally arranged before the mouth of April . April , 1831 . The 12th Royal Lancers are to replace the 7th Hussars at Newbridge . A squadron of the 12th will march on Friday , to take possession of Newbridge barracks . The 10th Royal Hussars will replace the 12th in the Royal barracks . The 7th Hussars , on being relieved by the 12th , will pro ceed to Dublin and embark for England . April , 1831 , The 12th Royal Lancers expect an immediate route to Dun dalk , to replace the 7th Hussars .. DUBLIN , THURSDAY , MAY 12 . Two troups of the 12th Royal Lancers left town on Tues day for Trim , there to remain during the election . Dublin Evening Bost . TUESDAY , MAY 31 , 1831 . THE REVIEW . - Saturday there was a Grand Review in the Park . - Immense crowds of people thronged to the Park at an early hour . - The day was most propitious . - The 12th Lancers , the Enniskillen Dragoons , the Royal Horse Artil lery , the 92d Highlanders , the Guards , and the 70th Foot , were all on the ground before 12 o'clock . - At one the Lord Lieu tenant and suite with his two sons , General Sir John Byng , Major General Blakeney , Sir G. Campbell , General Pilking ton , & c . , & c . , entered the field , when a salute was fired by the artillery . The gallant Marquis was dressed in huzzar uni form , and wore several military and other orders . - After in specting the troops in line , they marched past in squdrons in low and quick time and fired a feu de joie of three rounds. The troops then gave three hearty cheers for William the Fourth . His Excellency and suite after this left the ground for the Viceregal Lodge . June . 1831 . FETE OF THE OFFICERS OF THE TWELFTH LANCERS . A sumptuous entertainment was given on Friday , the 10th inst . , at the Lucan Spa Hotel , by the Officers of the 12th Lancers , to the principal nobility and gentry of Dublin and its vicinity . Four hundred persons were invited , and notwithstanding the extraordinary inclemency of the day , very few apoligies were received . Dinner was served at six . It consisted of all the delicacies of the season , with a profusion of cham pagne and ices . Before nine the ball commenced , and supper was an nounced at twelve , after which the dancing was resumed with great spirit , and the party had not finally dispersed till long after sunrise the following morning . Nothing could exceed the politeness and attention of the gallant hosts to their much - gratified guests - and much credit is due to Mr. Collins for an entertainment substantially good , and charac terised by much taste and order . The gallery of the ball room was filled by Mr. Kelly's excellent qundrille band , and the band of the 12th Lan cers performed during the whole of the evening in the hall leading to the dinner and ball room . Amongst the distinguished persons present were : -Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Leinster . Dublin , 8th June , 1831 . The removal of the 12th Lancers from Dublin is very uncertain Their ultimate destination , however , is New bridge ; but they will not remove until the arrival of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoons from Edinburgh . June 20 , 1831 . As soon as the Royal Barracks are vacated by the 12th , the 10th Hussars will move into them : this change will be owing to the circumstance of the unusual strength of the 1st Dragoon Guards - eight troops - the Royal Barracks , conse quently , nat being sufficiently commodious . June 21 , 1831 . A squadron of the 12th Royal Lancers will leave town to morrow to take possession of Newbridge barracks . June 21 , 1831 . The 12th Royal Lancers received the route on Saturday. The first division leaves this garrison on Thursday next , for Newbridge , to replace the 7th Hassars , ordered to England . 21st Day of June , 1831 . THE NEW COMMANDER OF THE FORCES . - Sir Hussey Vi vian is expected to arrive in Dublin this day , to take on him the command of the forces in Ireland . The 12th Lancers , of which the gallant General is Colonel , only remain here , it is understood , to be inspected by him , after which they will , we have heard , relieve the 7th Hussars at Newbridge , the 7th , heing ordered for England . The 1st Dragoons from Cahir , as we have already mentioned , and the 10th Huzzars , will replace the Lancers and Inniskilling Dragoons in this garri son . They will arrive in the course of the week . nga வலி JUNE 25 . The 12th Royal Lancers , under the command of Lieute nant - Colonel Stawell , left Dublin yesterday for Newbridge . MONDAY , SEPT . 24 . CRICKET . We understand a challenge from the officers of the 12th or Royal Lancers , and the officers of the 27th , En niskillen regiment , in this garrison , to play the gentlemen of this county a match at Cricket , has been lying for several day's past on the tables of the Club House , unaccepted . - Li merick Chronicle . NOVEMBER 12 , 1831 . The troop of the 12th Lancers stationed some time at New townbarry , have been withdrawn , and joined head - quarters at Newbridge , county of Kildare , on Saturday last , Dec. 29 , 1831 . ROBBERY OF FIRE - ARMS FROM THE MILITARY AT CAS TLECOMER . - On Sunday evening , between five and six o'clock , an out - house belonging to Mr. Butler Wandesford , at Castle comer , in which four of the 12th Lancers were billetted , was broken into and robbed of seven pistols . Colonel Osborne , with Captain Trench and a party of police , immediately after the occurrence , searched several suspected houses , but without being able to discover any of the arms and on the following day the police made another and more extensive search in the neighbourhood , accompanied by Richard Eaton , Esq . , which also proved fruitless . We advert to this alarming fact with feelings of deep regret , as being in every way a foretoken of the gathering storm . A more cool and audacious attempt has never been made even in a country where actual rebellion and general conflicts exist . The spirit by which the peasantry have been animated we thought had been sufficiently disclosed in their late assaults upon the military and and police ; but this daring spoliation has been marked by a peculiar degree of cool resolution in following up , by procuring additional arms , the late ferocious massacre . Hence the military may learn that they will encounter precisely the same mercy as the police at Hugginstown , should they ever be subjected to the sanguinary vengeance of the populace . - Kilkenny Moderator . |
