From the St. John, N. B. City Gazette.

Owing to the nefarious movements in Canada, the 43d Regiment stationed here is under orders to proceed to that place. A detachment under the command of Capt. Bell, left here for that place last Thursday : the other companies are to proceed in a few days. An address from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of this city, and an address from the Young Men, with the replies, we omit for want of room—but both addresses evince that filial affection to the Mother Country, for which New-Brunswick has always been pre-eminent. Addresses presented at a time when the gallant soldiers comprising this Regiment are about to leave for the protection of the loyal inhabitants in Canada, cannot fail to inspire the Regiment with redoubled vigor for their arduous and fatiguing march.

Army Movements.—One Company of the 43d Light Infantry, under command of Capt. Bell, left town on Thursday last on their way to Fredericton, by the Nerepis road. The other two companies in this garrison, and the small detachment at St. Andrews, we understand, are likely to proceed in the course of this week. From Fredericton, after being properly equipped, the whole, with the exception of a few invalids, will march by divisions to Quebec.

Five officers and ninety men of the first division of the 85th Regiment, arrived in this city on Thursday evening last from Halifax, via Windsor, in the steamer Gazelle. And yesterday morning, Lieut. Col. Maunsell, three officers, and ninety men, including the band, of the same regiment, arrived at Halifax by the same route. The second division, under Major French, are expected to follow in a few days. A company of the 85th regiment, stationed in Prince Edward Island, is ordered to proceed to Fredericton by way of Schodiac.

Observer.

Sir John Harvey, the Lieut. Governor of New Brunswick, was a Lieut. Colonel in Upper Canada during the last war with the United States, and was principally instrumental in contriving the plan of attack, and carrying it personally into execution, at battle of Stony Creek, near Lake Ontario, where the United States Army was defeated, and Generals Chandler and Winder made prisoners.— The honor of Knighthood was conferred upon him as a reward for that service.—Halifax Recorder.
