PRESENTATION OF COLOURS TO THE
60th LIGHT INFANTRY.

The 68th Light Infantry, upwards of 1,000
strong, under the command of Col. H. Smyth,
C. 8., being on the eve of embarking for India in
the steamship Australasian, from this port, were
this afternoon presented, with now colours ou Swan-
sea-common by his Royal Highness the Comman-
der-in-Chief. The Duke, attended by Brevet-Lieut. -
Col. T. H. Clifton, aide-decamp, and accompanied
by Major-Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8.,
command the South-west district, arrived at 11
o'clock this morning, and proceeded to the Govern-
ment-house to breakfast with the Lieut.-Governor,
Major-Gen. Scarlett. At 12 his Royal Highness
was escorted to the field by his gallant host and a
brilliant staff, comprising Major- Gen. Lord Wm.
Paulet, C. 8., commanding the the First Infantry
Brigade at the Camp at Aldershot ; Col. Forger,
Royal Engineers, Aide-de-Camp to the Queen ;
Col. Lake, C. 8., commanding the Royal Artillery;
Lieut.-Col. Travers, Royal Artillery ; Lieut.-Col-
Aitchison, Royal Lancashire Militia Artillery ;
Lient.-Col. Wright, .41.ssistant-Quartermaster-Gene-
ral ; Lieut.-Col. Conolly ; Capt. Gordon, Aide-de-
Camp to Gen. Scarlett, Town Major Breton, etc.
Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K. C. 8., the Naval Com-
mander-in-Chief; Admiral the Hon. H. D. Byng,
Capt. Seymour, C. 13., Flag Captain, and a distin-
guished general company were en the ground,
although the day was truly a November one, and
the field sodden with the late rains.
The 3d battalion of the Scots Fusiliers formed on
the right, the 68th in the centre, and the 47th on
the left of the square, and the ground was kept by
the Royal Marine Artillery. The old colours of the
regiment were dressed in laurels in commemoration
of Inkerman-day.
The Commander-in-Chief was received in open
square with the general salute, and the square hav-
ing been extended the Rev. E. W. Miner, garri-
son chaplain, advanced to the colours and invoked
a blessing upon them. His Royal Highness the
Commander-in-Chief then advanced on horseback
and gave the colours into the hands of Lieut.-Col.
Blount and Major Greer, who delivered them over
to lactate. (Armee and De Bannderson. They were
inscribed with the names of "Salamanca," "Vit-
toria," " Pyrenees," " Nivelle,'' " Orthes," " Pen-
insula," " Alma," " Inkerman, " "Sebastopol."
The Duke then addressed the regiment as fol-
lows Officers, non-commissioned officers, and
privates of the 68th Light Infantry,—l have much
pleasure in presenting new colours to a regiment
which upon all occasions has distinguished itself
whenever brought into action. During the Penin-
sular War no regiment suffered more, or performed
its duties more creditably. Again, in a recent con-
test which has now become matter of history, on
this very day three years ago, I, myself, bad an Op-
portunity of seeing the distinguished gallantry of
the 68th. I am persuaded that the same spirit ani-
mates the regiment still, and that whenever called
upon to meet an enemy in the field it will exhibit
the same energy and courage which it displayed at
the battle of Inkerman. It is a satisfaction to me
to see the regiment go out under the command of
an officer in whom I have the greatest confidence,
I regret that you should be again called upon to
leave your native shores after so short a sojourn
at home, hut the British soldier is always ready to
go anywhere and do anything for the honour and
glory of his ecuntry, and I am sure you will em-
bark as cheerfully for the distant shores of
India as no doubt you disembarked when you re-
turned from the Qrimea. You are going to a dis-
tant part of itie world, but I hope you will not
relax these strict rules of discipline which so dis-
tinguished you while at home. You have my best
Wishes, I have participated with you in the achieve-
ment of great victories, and I hope to hear of your
prosperity wherever her Majesty and the country
may require your service."
Colonel Smyth then made a suitable reply on
behalf of the regiment, after which the troops on
the field went through the evolutions incidental to
an official it,spection. His Royal Highness after-
wards inspected the lines and the new barracks at
the top of the town, named after himself, and
which will shortly be occupied. He left Portsmouth
by the 4.15 p.m. train for London.
The proceedings of the day closed with a banquet
given by Colonel Smyth and the officers of the 68th
to the principal personages connected with the
garrison, port, and district.
