That gallant - Officer, Sir StoNity SNI iTH , is re
cruiting his health at 'Milton, in the Isle of Wight.
Dynevor Castle attratied on Saturday se'ribight
a most numerous assemblage of. Ihe fa:ihionables
of CaertnarthenShire, and the atijfi nina counties,
to witness an unusually interesting display of mi.;
lita6r etiquette. It had previously been determined
by the Commandent-Colonels of the late volunteers
of the county, who had received appointmouts in the
local' inilitia, tooffer as an 'honourable deposit -to their
nobleColonei andcommandingofficertheLofdLieutew-
Dant, the old colours of the county volunteer corps, to
be kept by him as a memento of their loyalty; who,
in return, was to present from Government new to.:
lours to each .regiment of local . militia. Aug. 12,
being the birth-day of his Royal' Highness the
Prince of Wales, was fixed upon for the ceremony.
A numerous and brilliant - party assembled in
\ Dynovor Park early in the forenoon, together with an
immeuse concourse of yeomanry,farrners, and tenant.
ry. The ground choien for the occasion was a val.
ley in front of Dynevor Castle, bounded by beautiful
chains Of, richly-wooded hills and Mountains ; it
*Ai exceedingly' well kept by one of his Lordship's
troops of cavalry. A detachment from each of the '
three regiments of local' militia marched from Llan.
dillo to the ground, headed by almost 1.1 their Of-
ficers, preceded by excellent bands of mus , , ~;ILI
wiredrawn up opposite an elegant marquee, in which
presided the lovely hostess, with a numerous train of
female fashion. The ceremony began by the Co.
lonels.Commandant, with the Office's cnrrying the
colours, advancing, on 'Lord Dynevor's giving the
word, to his Lordship, and presentee{ him with dif-
ferent colours; which his Lordship received, returning
; his thanks for the honour in a neat and very appro-
priate speech. :Lady Dynevor then advanced
with, the new colours, and with that naivete and
elegance, so peculiarly her own, presented them to
the Officers, with a most impressive address.
I• EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF A- DOG.--A fine
Newfoundland dog, the property of Mr. Scott, of
I Waltham Abbey, was killed ,last weak, in a field,
i
by a weasel, which attached itself to his throat, '
whilst the dog was in pursuit.of it, in a ditch. The •
poor animal being unable to disentangle himself from
his troublesome assailant, struggled. for a considera-
ble time, until at length exhausted with the loss of
blood; he fell down and expired. The dog was va-
-1 lued at thirty guineas.

We understand, that in consequence of the unplea-
sant . occurrences which have lately taken place in
the Firsst Somerset Militia, the whole of the remain-
ing Captains (excepting Captain CARROLL) who
were not brought to.'a Court7Martial with their
Lieutenant-,Colonel Sir CHARLES BAMFYLDE, have
resigned. We cannot help regretting the loss the
Corps must sustain in their late Lieutenant-Colonel,
who had been in the Regiment more than twenty
years, and by his conduct as an Officer, and his
manners as a Gentleman, endeared himself .to every
individual who served with, atid under him. Joi./
HOULTON, Esq. of Farleigh Castle, is appointed
Lieutenant-Colonel.

At a Club east of Temple-Bar, where puzzling
questions are sotnetimes-introduced, the folloWing
was proposed a few evenings since :—" What is the
most that can be obtained in the least time, and at
--the smallest expence ?" After several answers;
zeither of which came completely withib the three
points 'of the question, a sagacious Cit replied—
" 80,000 i. may be. gained in one moment, in the
present State Lottery Scheme !"—The fad is indis-
putable, and not unworthy the special attention of
Clubs in general.
