c'c Colonel Sin,Ets, of the East Regiment of

Lordship, the continuance of the Yeomanry Service
was proposed, during Peace, on the original condi_

early part of every summer for exercise and
the preservation of discipline ; .to be reviewed
annually by a General Officer, and to hold them-
selves in constant readiness to assist the Civil Power

satisfaaion Col. STEVENS reports, that by every
Troop of the Regiment to whiCh the proposition

of loyalty, zeal, ,and spirit. The future Services

" I had the honour of receiving ydur Note of
the gth instant, communicating the handsome and
public spirited offer of the Eastern Regiment of
Somersetshire Yeomanry fur the continuance of their
Service during Peace, on the original conditions,
viz. " To serve without Pay—to assemble in the
early part of every Summer for Exercise, and the
preservation of Discipline—to he reviewed annually
by a General Oficer—and to hold themselves in
readiness to assist the Civil Power when called upon,
either collettively as a Regiment, Or in single
Troops, in their different Distriets, as occasion
may require ;" and having laid the same before the
KING, I have it in Command from Hzs MAJESTY
to express the cordial satisladion with which He
has received so strong a testimony of attachment to
His Person and Government, as that which you
have conveyed on. the part of the Eastern Regiment
of the Yeomanry of the County of Somerset.
" The continuance of the Yeomanry Corps, under
present circumstances, has already seen recommend 2
ed in my Letter to the Lord Lieutenant' of the
County of Somerset of the Toth instant; and in an-
sw*r to the immediate abjeEt of your Communica-
tion, I am direfted by HIS MAJESTY to say, that
his experience of the extensive benefits derived from
the invaluable Institution of the Yeomanry Corps,.
has led him to consider its continuance, as far as it
can be rendered Consistent with the necessary oecu.
pations and conveniences of those of whom such
Corps may be composed, as highly important to the
Public Interest, and tinder that impression, He will
at all times refled on the offer now 'made by the
Somersetshire Yeomanry, with ever; sentiment of
the warmest approbation.

TH .E old Comedy of A Yet') Way to Pay Old
DeAts was- represented last night at this Theatie,
and the Character of. Sir Giles Overreach was per-
formed by Mr. Cooke: laboured under a very
severe cold, which, however, did not prevent him
from supporting the Character with considerable
ability. He displayed great skill in contrasting
tyranny to his interiors, with fawning servility to.
those above
The Charaaer of Sir Giles is such a monster as
the World, perhaps, hardly ever saw, and is; indeed
very inartiticially drawn, for though many an indi-
vidital may probably be found with as many vices,
none can be supposed so absurd as to reveal them,
even to his minions, with such shameless intre-
pidity, particularly as such a daring openness is
inconsistent with the craft by which he acquired
hi enormous wealth. Such an account of Sir Giles
would be suitable enough to' his chara&er from any
body but himself.

LEWIS was very successful in Tifell-barn, exhibit.
ing an easy gaily, with manly spirit and feeling.
MuNDEN's 111arall was 'an admirable specimen
of true eornic humour, without any buffoonery. We
never saw a character, so far as it extends, better
supported.

There was an unpretending modesty in Bas
TON'S Allworth, that rendered the part very inte-
resting, and it was well-ref-kited by the gentle
merits of Miss Mu P.RAY, in Marg,zrct Overreach.
We consider CooKE's performance of Sir Gilts
Overreach, as one of his most successful exertions.
It is. marked by more of his merits, and fewer of
his peculiarities than any other of his charaders.
There was a numerous but not a crowded. audience.
