NORTH BRITON VOLUNTEERS . His late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was Colonel of this distinguished corps ; and of all the volunteer regiments this was perhaps the most attractive . Its splendid costume—the soldier-like appearance of the regiment , particularly the officers , and above all the royal Colonelwas the admiration of London . His Royal Highness was

Harry Johnston was the fugel-man ; Sir John Sinclair was an officer , and could relate many pleasant anecdotes of the Royal Duke , both on parade and at mess .
