Blev RIGIAIIINT. —An entertainment of reading
and music was given by this regiment in St. John's
schoolroom on Friday evening, the lOth inst., in aid
of the fund for erecting a monument to the memory
of five men of the regiment who were recently
drowned in Portland Roads. From the appearance
of the large room a few minutes after the doors were
opened, every available epee being tilled by a densely
packed crowd, the committee can have no cause to
complain of want of sympathy on the part of the
people of Portland. The Regiment was also well
represented both by officers, non-commissioned
officers, and men. Precisely at ft o'clock the enter-
tainment commenced by the band, under Mr. Green,
playing a fantasia on Scotch airs, which proved •
very effectual openinf„. A reading by Captain
Farrington, "Misadventures at Weymouth " was
received with marks of approval, the humorous
points of the story being well brought out by the
reader. A dnett, "What are the wild waves saying"
by Sergeant Tristram and his son. WM generally
welcomed, the singers being warmly applauded.
"Ye gentlemen cf England," by the glee clue, was
rendered with much spirit, and evidenced consider-
able improvement in Mr. Geese's young glee class,
more attention to light and shade being given than
on former occasions. "The painter of Florence,"
recited by Sergeant•major Entwistle, with great
taste and correct acting was well received.
A pianoforte solo, by Mies Budd of Weymouth,
proved • great acquisition to the evening's enterlain•
liieutl title yoeng kily a utietic playing being fully
appreciated by the audience in the reserved seats.
Next come "The Charge of the Light Bngade,"
Captain Farrington. This vivid epic of Tennyson s
was treated with a truthful martial energy that
secured the reader continued applause. A quartett
"Oft when night," was ,loubtless the musical gem of
the evening ; the ein4er. were Mr. McLean, Mr.
Green, Colour Sergeant Warde, and Private Tucker
—the beauty of the composition was ably interpreted
by this "tuneful four" whom we hope soon to have
the pleasure of again hearing. Another "Curtain
lecture" by Mr. McLean afforded the greatest amuse-
ment, the reader bringing out with full force Mrs.
Candle's aggravating peculiarities A gallop "The
King's own" composed by Mr. Green had the nettal
effect of spirited dance music, many of the listeners
appearing quite prepared to carry out the motion
suggested. "The One-legged goose," humorously
read by Colour Sergeant Warde, was f .Ilowed by a
song "Farewell to the Mountain" by Mr. McLean
who had evidently consulted the taste of the "front
skerigner
rate" nor was he disappointed in the reception which
to this. song was played by Mrs. Patten a lady
it met. with. We observed that the accompaniment

life and comic action into the performance as fairly
to bring down the house. As the audience would
hear of nothing else but this gentleman's re-appear-
anoe, he gave them a brisk comic song, which was,
if possible, more taking than the first. "The
country bumpkin and the razor seller," by Mr.
blilledge, proved that this gentleman is quite at
home with humorous subjects. " The Hunt/rinse'.
Chorus," by the glee class, followed by "Gel Save
the Queen," brought this very successful entertain-
ment to &close. The arrangements were excellent,
and well carried out; the only drawback being that
the audience in the heck seats became rather noisy
during the latter part of the evening.

A CCIDRNT TO LORD Dionr.—Lord Digby met with
an accident • few daps ago, which has confined him
since to Ilinterne. With hi, son and General Ilsrter he
had been shooting at RedlyncE. and was returning in a
hired csrriare to V.de 4ation, when the vehici.. umet,
and his lordship sustained n somewhat serious injury to
his back.

Ebe Late captain Planning.
Captain Charles Augustus Manning, Deputy
Lieutenant of the county of Dorset, Her Majesty's
Lieutenont of the Island of Portland, Governor of Portland Castle, died, at Portland
Castle. on Monday nidit. Though long ex-
pected, the death of Captain Manning produced
considerable sensation in Portland. where he has so
long resided, and exerted so much influence. The
deceased captain wee the son of the Rev. John
Nfanning, formerly rector of the parish, to whom
Portland Castle WU granted in ISIS by His Royal
Highness the Duke of York, while Commander-in.
Chief, with the approbation of His Majtety's
Government, and his friend and schoolfellow
Governor Penn, of Pennsylvania Castle. It will be
remembered that the Rev. John Manning died in
IS2S, and wee interred at St, George's. Reform, and
therefore Portland will claim more than a resi-
deanery interest in the late governor's family.
Capt. Manning himself was • captain in the 2nd
Surrey Militia, who saw considerable service
in Ireland, hunting over the wild bills for the
ferocious whiskey distillers, and ferreting out the
secret stills. The late Captain used to
relate many
interesting dories of his adventures on these Ws,
showing that his service was far more perilous than
ordinarily falls to the militia. Once his party were
piloted by an exciseman, who went too far in advance,
was seized by the wild Irish, Pat into • bag
Partly filled with stones, and summarily murdered
by being dropped into a well. Amid such acmes as
this part of his early days were paned. In 153(1
Captain Manning married Miss Margaret Sheraton,
sister of the late Colonel Sheraton, of Btobor7 Park,
Wells ; hut Mrs. Manning died about two years
afierwards. On the death of Governor Peen in
1534, the castle was granted to Captain Manning as
a residence, and here he hae ever since resided,
supporting with the greaten firmness the dignity of
his position. He was most unremitting in attend.

apparent taivillity of the amulets, was always to be

The funeral equipage drove oat from Weymouth in
the early morning, and some wonderment was excited
at such an array of black hones crowing the bridge
in the dusk. The rendezvous was at Mr. White's
Royal Victoria Lodge Hotel, the worthy host of that
establishment providing the funeral breakfast. At
half-past nine the procession was formed at the Castle
in the frllowing order :
Plumed beanie, containing the Body, and drawn by four
sable horses;

The imposing cert Age pained the Rai I way Station about
ten o'clock, and punned its solemn march to Wyke,
"Through cold and heavy mist,"
Leaving behind a large crowd who assembled
to see it quit the Island. The funeral arrived
at Wyke about half-past ten, and the cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. If. C.
Pigou, in an impressive manner, and, as the oaken
coffin, with its gilt breastplate, was platted in the
vault specially boat for it, the few Portlanders who
were present probably felt that they should never
look upon the like of Captain Manning again, and
wondered how the void which his death has created
should he filled, while his faithful servants doubted
if ever they should get • master whom they would
snit quite as well. The funeral arrangements were
all conducted by Mews. Martin and Son, of Oakley
Piece, and everything passed off in the best manner
that could be expected on so melancholy at occasion
and at such an inauspicious time.

EXECUTION OF HINSON.
Hinson, who murdered his paramour and • man !
named Boyd through jealousy. was hung on Monday
morning within Newg•te gaol. He seemed to have
braced himself up for • last effort at fortitude. On
geeing the hangman he said "Good morning, Mr.
Celcraft," nod when pinioned w•lked away rapidly
to the gallows, exclaiming "Now for the grand
secret!" He placed himself on the drop, nod
Coltman drew • thin white top over his Gee. Pieced the
noose of the rope around his neck, and secured the end
of it to the chain above. Ile then stooped down to
(eaten the convict's feet. Now the nerve of the con-
demned men seemed to fail him, and be visibly sw•yed
under the drop. The ch&plain read the solemn words of
the burial eervic-, " Ilan that is born of • woman bath
but &short time to live, and is full of misery. He oometb
up, and is cut down like • flower, and oontinueth not
In one stey." While these words wore fervently
uttered, the convict became so far unable to support
himself that the chaplain took hol I of his band uutil •
warder cnine up to bold him. Wendt was audibly
! told by lionse one within the doorway to be quick ;
, and then, after an interval which was most pain-
fully long, the old men drew the bolt, and the drop
fell. H illllOll gave several oonvulsive struggles, and it
' was fully two minutes before he cowed to show airing of
life.

BRITISH CORN.FLOUR.
Ishesers. Colman, of London, have reoently introd is
to the public a new farinaceous food, prepared from
lice, and termed "British Corn-Flour."
We have procured specimens of the article in ques-
tion, and submitted them to a °artful chemical and
microscopical examination. We find that it consists
solely of the farina of rice, from which every particle
of cellulose or woony fibre has been removed. This
article has evidently been prepared from an eased.
ingly fine variety of rice, from which • farina haa
been produced free from the slightest trace of initant
husk, that is at once nutritive and agreeable in the
! extreme ; hence the farina ia relatively, as compared
with the whole grain, richer in the carbohydrates and
I poorer in albunoinoid subetanem. The ansylaceous
granules of rice are naturally very small, and they
probably yield more readily to the action of the diges-
tive fluids than do any of the starches derived from
other plants. Beanmont found that boiled rim was
digested in an hour, while arrowroot—a food remark.
ab e for its easy digestibility—required one hour and a
' half to effect its digestion. We find that in platinising
power T parts of British Corn-Flour is equal to 9
parts of arrowroot and 14 parts of wheaten starch.
The opinion has long been correct among physiologists
that isinglass and other forma of gelatine are wholly
nnnutritious. If mob he the case, the sooner that
article is replaced the better,
The British Corn-Flour appears to es to be an
exceedingly bland, easily digestible, and nutritous food, I
specially adapted for children and invalids. We under- I
stand that it has been mod with good results in most of
the Dublin hospitals, and is now being tried at some of
the principal London hospitals. When it was the
fashion to estimate the value of a food by the amount
of nitrogen which it coctained, rise was regarded as the
least nutritious of the cereal grains. Recent investiga-
tions show, however, that the ener:y of the body is
chiefly maintained by the carbohydrates, of whiols rice
containn a larger proportion than is tonna in any other
grain. Dr. Chambers recommends such a diet s• that
furnished by Britiah Corn-Flour as the moat suitable
during "acute caterthal bilious attacks, at the com-
ntencement of treatment, or even chronic gastric cases,
and whehever • dusky complexion, hypeeondriasis,
exc., show that errested moulting hese:toted a collection
In the hddy of effete tissues."
In conclusion, we may state of British Corn-Flour
that in cary c,zse where an atnylaorous diet is indicated,
this farina, is, in every respect, superior to arrowroot,
tapioca, and the other food starches. It is better
liovoureil, more digestible, blander, and more
nutritioot As • fool for children, the British Corn-
Flour has many and obvious props:alai to recommend
