5A1.15131.711Y.—A ,Soh Fun, Satnnlay
the 4th ,mt., the remains of one of our volunteers,
aged only 15 years, named William Low Shiner,
were interred at the Cemetery lieside the grave of
his late comrade, Mr. Sergeant V g. The deceased
was generally beloved in the corps for his unobtrusive
manner and stuilions attenthm to drill ; insomuch as
at the last inspection of l'olenel Manse!, the lad was
strongly eulogised for his efficiency. has illness was
of three days duration wily. Full military honours
were yielded to him by Ins comrades, and many a
century has doubtless passed over since a spectacle of
equal Impressiveness took place in Whuborne. The
corps was followed by hundreds of the most respect-
able inhabitants of the town. The measured tread
of the corps with reversed arms to the "March in
Saul" by the bawl with muffled drums, through the
streets, to the bunal ground, apparently made a deep
impression of sole 'ty and sorrow on all. The
novelty of the ceremony doubtless attracted very
many ; and when the body was lowered intii the
grave, tears flowed freely from all around, proving
to demonstration that England can lament and has
as strong feeling towards her soldiers as others so
called " Military nations." Many a mental ejacu-
lation douldlow went on that the soul too of that
young man might however gain a more eternal awl
better glory. Altogether we never witnessed a
more affecting scene.
FtxxerNii LANDLORD.—During the Last week a
tall fine young fellow, representing himself as the
Hon. Seyn l Egerton, of the First Life Guards,
has keen making merry at the expense of a certain
sporting landlord in this city. It appears that the
latter formed an acquaintance with the " I tile"
eentleman at anti

, &wed to the landlonl's best friends. and his presence
threw them all into a nutter, like that which Burns
felt when he "ilinner'd wi' a laird." A rungesteak
supper was promptly provided ; the IleW guest soon
preyed himself the delight of the company, and the
bottle having circulated somewhat freely, each one
was inclined to say with " ih,yii,er Robin,"

assembled nu Thursday evening at seven o'clock,
for the first time in uniform. The ritles have not

members, and several others have signified an inten-
tion of joining.
IMPOSITION.—Large placards posted in Swindon
and its vicinity, announcing that Christy's Minstrels

were to give a concert at the Mechanics' Institute,
New Swindon, on Monday evening, completely
tilled the large ball, more than a thousand people
being present. It was, however, so. .n ilisc.vered
that the fellows wcro a Sct or impostors, and dis-
satisfaction WU loudly and generally eziwcssed, and
when Solne person brought in a newspaper which
contained an advertisement that the Christy Min-
strels were to perform at IS the Came evening
the rage of the aalienee at being duped became
unbounded. A tremendous uproar ell tel, Alla It
Waq only through the intervention of Mr. Gooch
thit the impost:ws escaped re.teivin,, what they
richly ileserved--a go.l thrathing. The whole of
the nunicY

of the institution, and to pay the printer's hill tire
pounds were then h.celed Icek to the ilarkics, who
were then pnoM4cl by their guards they should
depart in peace.
