TUNRRIDGE 111.LLS, JULY 9.

The increase of company to the Wells, within
the last fortnight, has been very great, several fami-
lies of distinetion have lately arrived ; and we have
to beast a large assemblage of fashion and beauty ;
fee lodging houses remain to be disposed of.
The North Pevensey Legion, consisting of two
troops of Cavalry. two Companies of Rifle-
men, and twelve Companies of Infantry, were
yesterday reviewed on Crowbosengh Downy by
General Don. Previous to the Review, a very
elegant pair of colours. the gift of Lady Sitar-
els ko, were presented to the Legion, by her Lady-
ship. with an appropriate Address ;as the ceremony
used on this occasion was different from what Au
been commonly observed, a partial detail may net
be uninteresting.
An etcort of dragoons brought the colours to the
ground. where Lord Suave rains bancluetting tent
was irtehei ; soon after .which, her Ladyship, at-
tended by Mrs. 3 I 'to. and two Misses
May. arrived in a coach and four, attended also by
an escort of Cavalry. On the line being formed,
and a signal given by bugle from the right, the
two Rifle Corps, with band. drums, &c. formed on
the right, in open column ; the two Adjutants (dis-
mounted) in front ; the two Lieutenants and their
ct.vering Seri,:ant in their rear. The line Lirmed
three sides of a square, and the escort for the Co-
lours, under the command of Lieutenant Colon.l
CRLUSTON tthe Right Honourable the SPCA/LEI
being detained in town). marched to the tent,
where the colours were given to them rased; the
escort then marched to the battalion; and the rifle-
men filled up the fourth, or vacant angle of the
square ; the Adjutants, Captains ficwirsos and
\v sr 'maims°, with the Chaplain (Rev. Mr.
Wtioow alto, jun.), then advanced to the centre;
the colours were uncased, lowered, and crossed.
King's colour uppermost, and the consecration
prayer was devoutly and gracefully delivered by the
Chaplain, the troops presenting arms the whole
time, but no music played. When the prayer was
finished, the Adjutants delivered the colours into
the Chaplain's band, by whom they were given to
Lady SU rt ELD j, the two Lieutenants then ad-
vanced; and her Ladyship, in a short but elegant
address, recommended them to their care and pro-
teftion. and felt confident. she said, they could
not be in h Ater hands than those of the Legion.
The Officers, with the colours, then proceeded to
the centre of the line ; the whole prose kted arub. and
the colours, with their appropriate eMort, matched
round the different angles of the square, music play-
ing, &e. After which the square was reduced. and
the evolutions commenced. When the review was
finished, he called the officers together, and
told them he had, in the course of the last sit
weeks, seen at least 25,000 men in Susses ; but that
the North Pevensey Legion had surpassed his most
sanguine expel:dims ; chat Lord Smarr t a LD had set
a noble, a glorioss example; and that it refielled
the hiAhest honour on the officers and men, to as.
the state of discipline they had arrived to, and their
very soldier-like appearance. It likewise, he said,
gave him great satisfaftion to see upwards of a
thousand men in the field, out of only 1200. not-
withstanding the incessant rain. and the miles se-
veral had to :north to the place of exercise. some
companies not less than twelve.
When the business of the day was over, a selett
party pamink of a cold collation in the tent of the
Colonel, Lord Sis/ r co; and enlivened the scene
with a dance on the turf.
Amongst the company we observed bird WHIT-

of the first rank in Susses were present ; and, though
it rained almo,t incessantly, no one quitted the
ground till the whole tints finished. Emissive of
the band of the Legion, the band of the 4th Dra-
goons attended, and played country dances.
