with visitors and groups of gaily dressed ladies,
whilst flags floated from many of the houses and
public buildings, and the belle rang merrily out.
At half•past 10 the regiment mumbled on the usual
parade gronud, and shortly afterwards proceeded to
Lent*, the place of impaction. The various
troop' were in exoellent trim, well accoutred and
horsed, large numbers of persons were present
enjoying the spectacle. Some of the North Somerset
Yeomanry, under the command of Captain Napier
and Lisuant the Hon. Edwin Portman, kept the
ground in an admirable manner, their blue jackets
forming a strong contrast to the red of the Donet
regiment. The review commenced at half peat 12,
when the regiment was inspected by Lieutenant.

Then the bugle sounded the officers' call, and the
inspecting officer passed a very high encomium on
the men for their steadiness and good discipline in
the field. Lient.-Colonel Lord Rivers then dis-
mounted the regiment, when they were plentifully
supplied with refraffiments, In the form of beer and
bread and ohms., through the bounty of Mr.

Colonel Lord Rivers subsequently recorded his grati-
fication at being able to report that Lieutenant-Colonel
Ogilvie, in his inspection of the Q.O.R.D.Y.C.
stated that, having inspected several regiment. of
Yeomanry, be considered the Q.O.R. D. Y.C. to be
quite as good, if not superior to any of them, adding
that the regiment was extremely well mounted, and
that he had never inspected any Yeomanry regiment
in which the officers knew better their plains or their
duty in the field. The Inspector also expressed gene-
rally great approval of the correctness of the field move-
manta, the steadiness of the men and horses,
and of the neatness and good fitting of the
horse acooncrementa. Lieutenant-Colonel Lord
Rivers on this the find occasion of his having been
entrusted with the command of the regiment, could
not refrain from offering his sincere and cordial thanks
to every Officer and man, for the zealous attention on
their part, which had enabled the inspecting officer,
Lieut.-Cob Ogilvie, to speak in such high terms of the
conduct and efficiency of the regiment. About 4
o'clock, upwards of a hundred ladies and gentlemen,
including the officers of the regiment, who were the
hosts, partook privately of an elegant &Vetter. d /a
fourchette at the King's Arms hotel; and many of
the troopers dined together at the Townhall. In
the evening the fine regimental band, which through•
out the week has formed • powerful attraction,
played several airs on the Terrace, when large num-
bers of gaily attired ladies and members of the
Yeomanry assembled and promenaded the contiguous
Welke. At 9 the band again played at the officers'
mess an mush The town was unusually animated,
the streets being at times literally crowded with
persons, and booths, and similar sources of enter-
tainment, were erected in conspicuous parts of the
town. Throughout the week the weather has been
most propitious.
