Ten Dower llthrrt•.—The 200 recruit*, who have
joined the regiment this year, are now quite soldierly
In appearanee, and their conduct is most exemplary.
On Sunday morning early they were all visited in their
billet. by Mr. Davis, who zealously watches over their
spiritual interests, and were by him advised to attend
some place of worship. This recommendation was
very generally followed, and both churches and chapels
throughout the town had • number of " red-
coats" in their congregations. In the after-
noon the regiment attended divine service at the
Shireball, when the Hey. R. G. Watson conducted
the service, and preached the sermon. In the evening
at half-put eight, Mr. Davis delivered an address to
the men at the Cora•eschangs. There was a very large
attendance. and the meeting wee of a most gratifying
character. The proceedings occupied 'bout half an-hoar.
We hear that upwardsof thirty of the recruits have signed
the temperance pledge, and that Yrs. Bingbani's bank-
ing account is making most gratifying progress. In the
matter of drill the men are achieving wonders, and
there is no doubt that the old prestige of the Dorset
regiment will be amply maintained this year.
