account of the harvest having been delayed by the cold sum-
mer. This regiment is acknowledged to be one of the most re-
spectable and efficient corps of Yeomanry Cavalry Ti the
kingdom, if, indeed, it is second to any, and has repeatedly
received the encomiums of the reviewing officer. Two pieces
of artillery are attached to it, and it possesses a fine brass
band. The martial exereiss commenced to-day. Wednesd=ay
next will be the grand field-day, when the regiment will be
