THE MILITIA.

New colours were presented by Lady Rayleigh,
on behalf of the ladies of Essex, to the West Essex
Militia (which is under the command of Col. Brise),
at Chelmsford, on Saturday. Her ladyship, in
making the presentation, spoke as follows :—" Col.
Brise, officers, non-commissioned officers, and men
of the West Essex Militia, the ladies of Essex have
requested me to present these colours to you on
their behalf. This regiment is associated in the
memory of some among us with recollections of
patriotic enthusiasm and voluntary devotion exhi-
bited in days long gone by, when our beloved coun-
try was threatened with foreign invasion, and when
she had little to defend her save the brave hearts of
her children and the waves which beat upon her
shore.. God forbid that such dangers should again
menace our homes, and that, by means of the best
security for a nation's peace—the righteousness
which exalts it, the evils of war may be long averted
from us. I feel sure there is not a man here who,
if duty called upon him, would not fight bravely
and endure patiently in the cause of his Queen and
country, and who would not be ready to emulate
the noble' deeds of British soldiers in the Crimea
and in India. But your duties do not, at present,
demand these heroic sacrifices ; therefore it is espe-
cially incumbent upon you to endeavour to honour
your profession by strict attention to its discipline
during your time of service, and by sustaining in
your own homes and neighbourhoods that charac-
ter for high moral courage which makes a good
man as well as a good soldier. The ladies of
Essex unite with me in expressing to you,
Colonel Brise, and the officers of your regiment,
oar grateful sense of the uniform attention we have
received at your hands, and our best wishes for
your welfare. I rejoice in being a soldier's daugh-
ter and a soldier's 4-ter, and T therefore venture,
on my own part, to expre. s my earnest desire that
the blessing of God may rest upon you all, and my
firm conviction that I give these colours into the
hands of brave and faithful men who will never
desert them." Lady Rayleigh, as she concluded
her address, wa loudly applauded. Colonel Brise
niade a suitable speech in acknowledgment. The
interesting ceremony was witnessed by a vast con-
course of people. The regiment, having completed
it's 21 •days duty, was dismissed yesterday
(Monday).
