========================================
The following newspaper article was transcribed from

========================================

(1)
STATE OF ARMAGH POOR-HOUSE, FOR THE WEEK
ENDED OCTOBER 18TH.--Admitted during the week, 23 ;
remaining last week, 385 ; total, 408. Discharged during the
week, 3 ; remaining on the above date, 405.

THE ARMY.
46TH DEPOT.--On Tuesday the 14th instant, the depot
of the 46th regiment stationed in this town, were inspected by
Major-General Sir GEORGE BERKELEY, K.C.B.,
commanding the Belfast district, who was pleased to express
his approbation of their steadiness under arms and general
clean appearance ; he also inspected the barrack-school
and books, with which he was perfectly satisfied. In the
evening the Sergeants of the depot met together in their
mess-room, and partook of a good dinner, which was much
enhanced by the officers presenting them, as is their usual
custom, with half a dozen of wine.
LOCAL COMPANY.--Same day the Major-General
inspected this corps, under command of Captain
DONNELLAN, and expressed himself highly gratified
with the orderly, steady, and soldier-like appearance of the
men.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.--Captain STOREY's company,
with Lieutenants TELFER and CHERNSIDE, one sergeant,
three corporals, seventy-eight gunners and drivers, with
their field batteries, arrived in Charlemont Fort, yesterday,
from Portobello barracks, Dublin, to replace Captain
D'ARLEY's company.

THE PORTADOWN SUNDAY SCHOOLS.--The annual
meeting of the several schools of the district was held at
Portadown on Thursday, the 9th inst. All the children, with
their teachers, assembled in the Church at ten o'clock, a.m.,
when the morning service was read, and a suitable sermon
preached by the Incumbent, who took his text, 3d epistle of
St. John, 4th verse--" I have no greater joy than to hear that
my children walk in truth." When service was over, the
different schools, headed by the respective teachers,
proceeded to the large field attached as a play-ground to the
Duke of MANCHESTER's school-house, where temporary
tables were erected, on which was spread a plentiful
breakfast, consisting of bread and tea, with apple-pies, of
which all partook most heartily. The day was very
favorable for the occasion, and many strangers were present
to witness so unusual a sight as that of eight hundred and
twenty, both teachers and children, sitting down to break-
fast at one time. At three o'clock the meeting broke up, and
all returned to their homes well pleased.

We understand it is the intention of the inhabitants of
Portadown to form a Gas Company for the purpose of lighting
that town.
