racer examined the regimental and
books at 9 a.m., and found them in a very
. y condition. The regiment Wasparaded at 9
and marched to the review ground about a
.. to ten,anaompanied by the band. There were
arms about 500 men of all ranks. The officers
it were Colenel R. H. Bingham, Major E. A.
Captains J. Davis, J. Gollop, G. Singer, J.
'arry, C. Hall, H. C. Gould, R. C. Brown, W. H.

A ldridge, Adjutant Clapcott, Surgeon G. Curie.
The corps of the 3rd D.R.V. under the
command of Captain Coombs and Ensign Hodges
kept the ground. Colonel Shadwell rode on to
Poundbury attended by an orderly from the Artillery
barracks, at half-past tea, and was received by the
regiment in line with presented arms, The regiment
Is as then formed into open column of Companies,
right iti front, slid the gotternment inspettor rode
up and dostti the ranks both in the front and at the
rearoind carefully scanned the appearance of the men
and their accoutrements. The whole body then
marched past in slow and quick time, and quarter.
distance columns, passing through this ordeal, which
men unaccustomed to constant drill not nnfrequently
fail in with notable lumen. Next they opened out
from ;he rear company, when Lieut. Aldridge was
called to the froht to titill bie Company. He Was
followed in this exercise by Captain Hall and Captain
Gollop., The vagitnerst then formed -a maitre OD Nis.

changed front on No. 8, with the right thrown back.
Next, while on the move, opened column right in
front; gained ground to tha left by fours; closed to
quarter-distance on No. 4; counter-marched by
sub-divisions round the nettre; formed a square on
the leading company ; deployed on No. 1; advanced
in line to the general salute; formed quarter-distaDoe
column on No. 5 • and finally formed a square.
Colonel Shadwell then addressed the regiment. He
congratulated the men on their appearance, and said
he observed with much satisfaction that they were
silent in the ranks. They had performed their drill
remarkably well, and if they were in barracks for
three months he believed they would become as
efficient • body of men as any regiment of the line. He
beard Chth regret that oh the day of their assembling
they did not conduct themselves as soldiers should,
but that was attributable be understood in sonie mea-
sure to the fact of some of the landlords of the billeting
houses supplying the men with drink on credit. He
would not by any means counsel the men to rapu-
diate their debts, but he informed such landlords
that they could not recover the money the men were
indebted for, and if they were not paid they would
have nobody to blame but themselves. It was
pleasing, however, to him to learn that the conduct
of the force, on the whole, had been good. From
what he bad seen on the present occasion be should
have much pleasure lb Making a favottrable report.
Hufilig the review the excellent band of the regiment,
under the direction of Bandmaster Carroll, played
