On Wednesday the 17th inst. the Loyal D ties Vo-
lunteers had a grand field day : the d,fferent corn-
p.mie•. advancing from all quarters with the chem.
ful fife and drum, through the woods to Bolton
Hal), Yorkshire, were pleasing both to the eye and
car. The day following they assembled again for the
purpose of receiving their Colours, the gift of the
Right Hon. Lord and Lady Bolton. At lc'. o'clock
Major-G-neral Hewgill and suite, and Lieutenant-
Colonel
Skelly, the Inspeding Field Officer, arrived.
After the inspe&ion, the regiment formed three
sides of a square, and the ceremony of the consecra-
tion commenced by a most appropriate and im-
pressive prayer, delivered by the Rev. J. Costoisa-
die, Chaplain to the Corps. Colonel Straubiree
then delivered the Colours to the F.nsigns. anu ad
dressed them in a suitable manner. The four com-
panies on each side of the square being ordered to
wheel back in e.hellon, and to form line, the
Colours, wilt the escort marching to the right, pro-
cei led in slow time along the front of the regiment,
each Officer saluting the Colours as they passed ;
the escort filing to the left, formed in the line, and
the Colours in the centre of the regiment. The
Corps presented arms, and a general salute was
given, aster which they manieuvred uncommonly
exa!, and their firings were wonderfully close, the
General repeatedly expressinghimself highly pleased.
Lord and Lady Bolton, the donors of the Colours
and the Feast, had a most capacious tent pitched
urin the lawn in front of their noble mansion,
which held ahnve 1,300 persons, wherein the Vo-
lunteers were regaled with the greatest pr3fuston,
not omitting the best brown stout. The Officers
and Gentlemen of the neighbourhood, near 150, sat
down to a most sumptuous entertainment iii the
grezt hall, where several loyal tosua were given with
many cheers. The fineness of the day attraded
a numerous concourse of pciple, the assemblage of
which, together which, t gether with the beautiful
surfnunding scenery, formed a spectacle at once
interesting and magnificent. The evening con-
elided with a ball given at the Bolton. Arms, at
Leyburn, by the Officer. of the Corps, and attended
Ly near 300 of the Ladies and Gentlemen of the
neighbceirhood, all of whom were highly gratified
with the liberality of the entertainment.

Monday an Inquisition was taken by the Coro-
ner bar Westminster, at the Bricklayers' Arms,
Mount-street, on the body of JAYS hsinnr, who
was drowned while bathing in the Serpentine River,
on Saturday. It appeared by the evidence adduced,
that the deceased, an Excise Officer at Wells, in So-
mersetshity, was on a visit to a friend in Sloane-stret.
Two youths, who were sitting on the batiks of the
river, saw the deceased (who cr uld not swim) walk
into the water, when he suddenly lost his feet, and
appeared to be struggling to keep above water. The
boys,whoweregoodswimmers, went to his assistance;
bilf,-befcre they could reach him, he sunk to rise no
more The life-boat seas launched to his assistance,
but too late.—Accidental death.
