PRESENTATION OF COLOURS TO THE 3GTU REGI-
MENT, AT WEEDON.—At ten o'clock on Tuesday morn-
ing the 36th Regiment was formed into three sides of a
square, in front of the officers' quarters, when shortly
atter, the Lieutenant-General commanding, Sir Thomas
Arbuthnot, appeared on the ground, accompanied by his
personal stall: The day was unusually. fine, and nothing
could exceed the brilliancy of the whole scene, the aris-
tocracy, clergy, and gentry of the neighbourhood and
surrounding country having assembled to witness this
interesting ceremony, upon the invitation of the officers
of the regiment. The usual preliminaries having been
arranged, and the new colours placed in front of the
square on a drum head, the garrison chaplain, the Rev.
G. P. Bennett, proceeded to delivet a few remarks pre-
vious to the presentation taking place. It would be im-
possible to conceive anything more chaste and classical
that the elcquent speech made by the reverend gentle-
man on this occasion ; his address and enunciation were
the theme of universal admiration. This done, the
chaplain proceeded to deliver a short prayer in consecrat-
ing the new colours. Immediately after the Lieutenant-
General addressed the soldiers in an able and heart-
stirring speech, reverting to the former noble deeds of
the gallant corps, which was well responded to by Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Ashmore, in a [short but appropriate
speech, in which he thanked the Lieutenant-General on
his own part and that of the regiment, for the very hand-
some terms in which he had spoken of the corps. The
usual forms having been gone through, this interesting
ceremony was concluded by three cheers for the Queen,
and three cheers for the regiment, to which was added
three cheers more by request of the Lieutenant-General,
in honour of the ladies who had graced the happy scone
that day with their presence. At two o'clock a magnifi-
cent de jeuner a la fourchette was prepared in the mess-
room, to which nearly three hundred of the neighbour-
ing nobility, clergy, and gentry sat down, on the invi-
tation of the officers of the regiment. The tables groaned
with the viands, and every delicacy that the season could
afford ; sparkling Burgundy and hock liberally circu-
lated, and the attention and urbanity displayed by the
ladies of the regiment, and the officers also, were most
conspicuous, each vying with the other in attention and
devotion to their guests. The company separated at
three o'clock, but re-united again at six o'clock in the
evening, when dancing, polkainz, waltzing, &c., were
res'rted to, and the day's festivity was closed by a most
magnificent supper. Thus ended a day's amusement,
which will be longremembered in the garrison of Weedon.
