Bref Dortswr Rirtm3.—On Monday (Whit-Motley)
• large party of the members of this corps were
most liberally entertained by E A. Castleman, Esq., the
newly-appointed ensign, to a capital luncheon, which
use served up in first-rate styl. by mine host of the
Crown Hotel, Etlandford, in Mr. Bell's tent, erected on
the Rape Down. At half-pa-t ten o'clock the majority
of the company Resembled in the Market-square, and,
preceded by the drum end fife band, marched to the
Down, where they were met by the Colonel and lieu-
tenant Johns, the latter gentlemen and several of the
corps having preceded them in order to compete for the
honour of representing the company at the Wimblodon
meeting. On assembling on the Down, Colonel Monsel
took the commend, and, addressing the company, said
that he hoped, as on many previous occasions when he
had been with then, they should have a good drill, and
after enjoying silence and strict attention the gallant
colonerfor the apace of about an hour put them through
the various movements of light drill, which, considering
there were several recruits present, and for whom every
allowance must be made, were most creditably per-
formed. After this thorough drilling, under • scorching
sun, we may well suppose that the good cheer provided
was most welcome, and that in a short space of time
the noble joints became "email by degrees," though we
may safely add not "beautifully left." Unfortunately
the Colonel was prevented, by a prior engagement, the
pleasure of remaining with the company. At the dinaer•
table various telling jokes were passed, and all appeared
heartily to enjoy themselves. At the conclusion of the re-
past, Lieutenant Johns said that it was proposed,
after resting a short time, to have another drill fr about
half-an-hour, and then to return to the tent, and have a
glass together.—This was received with *beers, and
carried out under the lieutenant's commands—On the
company re-assembling as soon as order could beob &uteri.
Lieutenant Johns said—Members of the Bth Dorset—
We have met together this day by the kind invitation of
our newly-appointed ensign, Mr. Castleman, to partake
of his bounteous liberality. This is the first time of his
eoming amongst us in public capacity, and I have there.
fore to propose his very good health and cordial welcome
among us.—(The toast was drank with every demonstra-
tion of good feeling.)—Ensign Castleman, who, on rising,
was reoeived with enthusiastic cheers, said he felt
greatly honoured by the kind way his health had been
propoeed and accepted by them. Though it was the first
time he had been with them, he trusted it would not
be the last. (Cheers.) He then referred to the drill,
and Gemmed a. hope that those members_ who had
lately joined would lose no opportunity of perfectieg
themselves in drill, so that when they met in Oernp it
, Dilworth none might be found wantinfibHe spain
thanked them for the hearty way they eireek his
health, and trusted that nothing would dist the good
I feeling which prevailed among them. (Loud cheer's) The
health of Lieutenant Johns was theta proposony Mr.
