The Demerary Militia had a grand Field Day this morning in the New Ground lately prepared for the purpose by [illegible] Jackson, Esq. and acquitted themselves much to their own credit, and to the satisfaction of their Officers. The [illegible] with a few exceptions, was very correct, and the manoeuv[illegible] particularly of the Rifle Company, were executed with great precision, and made a pleasing appearance. Colonel M'Crae gave the word of command with a steadiness and distinctness that bespoke the veteran soldier, and, after the business was over, address the corps in nearly the following words:
Gentlemen, I return you my warmest thanks for your attention and conduct this morning, it is such as reflects the highest credit on you, and it will, I am confident be productive of as much satisfaction to yourselves as to me. While we are endeavouring to perfect ourselves in military discipline, that we may be of some service in time of need, it is but just, however, that no favour should be shown [illegible?] therefore particularly recommend to the Officers, to notice all those absent without leave or certificates, and to see that the fines be rigidly enforced. There will [illegible] further parade till the inspection takes place by the General.

The Cavalry, commanded by Major A. Blair, also mustered this morning, not for parade, but for the laudable purpose of doing honour to the remains of their late com[illegible] C. A. Mathey, Esq. who died yesterday, much regretted [sic].
