                      Yesterday  the  Berkshire  militia  marched  into  this  town  from  Henley  and
                   Wokingham,  (where  they  had  been  quartered  during  our  assizes);  soon  after  they
                   came  in,  the  whole  regiment  paraded  in  the  Market-place,  where  in  honour  of  the
                   great  victory  obtained  over  the  Spanish  fleet  by  Admiral  Rodney,  they  fired  three
                   vollies, and gave three hurras. The bells of the parish churches were set a ringing, and
