Upon the regiment being dismissed, the men proceeded to their
Barrack-room, where a most excellent dinner, including everything
except spirits, had been prepared, at the expense of Sir Thomas
Brisbane, for the whole of the non-commissioned officers, privates,
women, and children, in the corps. During the repast the messes
were visited by the General in person It is needless to observe, he
was received with the most marked enthusiasm. He afterwards saw the
Hospital, and the Boys and Girls’ School, with which he expressed
himself much pleased.
General Sir Thomas M. Brisbane, during his stay in Dublin, attended
several of the garrison field-days, consisting of three regiments
of cavalry, five regiments of infantry, and two troops of horse
artillery. The gallant General, as well as the Lord Lieutenant,
and Sir Edward Blakeney, the Commander-in-Chief, who were present,
expressed their warmest satisfaction at the manner in which the
troops performed their various movements. The fine appearance of
the THIRTY-FOURTH in particular was highly extolled. On one of
these occasions, General Sir Thomas Brisbane, at the express desire
of Sir Edward Blakeney, had the honour to receive a salute from the
whole of the troops under arms.
