On Sunday last the Melton Volunteers had their first meeting at Melton Hall; about half past eleven o'clock the drum beat to arms; Sir Edward ASTLEY, Bart. with other officers of the corps, having drawn out the men in the park, before the house, above 150 appeared, several of whom, notwithstanding the shortness of the time, were dressed in their uniform, green and orange in colour. Upwards of 50 respectable farmers in the neighbourhood, who agreed to cloath [sic] themselves, and provide the necessary accoutrements, marched to church, Captain Sir Edward ASTLEY at their head; the other men, in two divisions, followed, headed by the different officers of the corps. A most excellent sermon was preached on the occasion by the Rev. BROWNE, Chaplain to the corps. After divine service the men marched back in the same order to Melton Hall, where having heard read to them Sir Edward ASTLEY's commission, and the terms of the association, which is formed to protect the coast of the county of Norfolk against all foreign invasions, and to support the Civil Magistrates, when called upon, in the execution of the laws, and for the preservation of the peace, they all unanimously subscribed the same, and entered into the necessary regulations of the company. The Volunteers were then handsomely entertained by their Captain. After dinner several loyal and constitutional toasts were drank. [List of toasts given which have been omitted here]. -- The utmost regularity and decency prevailed throughout the day, and the whole concluded to the complete satisfaction of every one present.
The commissioned officers of the Melton Volunteers are, Sir Edward ASTLEY, Captain; Henry JODRELL, Esq., First Lieutenant; Jarrett DASHWOOD, Esq., Second Lieutenant; Peter ELWIN, jun. Esq., First Ensign; William BRERETON, Gent. Second Ensign.
