THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT BRIGHTON. THE SHAM FIGHT. In order that the reader may be able to compre hend the disposition of the troops for the sham fight, he is supposed, in the following description, to occupy a position with the invading force repre sented by the fifth brigade of the first division, which, as well as all the others, was com manded and composed as above stated. This force was supported by the Hon. Artillery COM. pany, with four 6-pounder guns, under the corn mind of Captain Blockley, on the left, and by the 3rd Middlesex, posted in the rear with four 24-pounder guns. This was the supposed invading force, the main body cresting the ridge of Pleasant hill, and marching as it were on London, the heavy guns of the 3rd Middlesex supporting them from Red-hill, some distance behind. The right of this force rested upon Woodeudean, a farm surrounded by trees; and before it and extending some distance to the left ran an irregular stile , along which were ranged the enemy's sharpshooters, composed principally of the Inns of Court Volunteers. The position of Woodeodean was strongly occupied by skirmishers, and was well protected by artillery. It was the key of the enemy's position. The attacking force was composed of two divi sions—the second division forming the first line of attack, while the first was drawn up to the rear. We shall give the positions of the attacking forces iu the order from left to right. Thus the 4th bri gade of the second division occupied the extreme left. Then in order the 3rd, 2nd, and let brigades. The whole of the second division was under the command of Major-General Sutton. This division extended from Warren Farm on the right to a po sition in advance of Baldsdean on the left. There were four guns on each flank of this division, those on the right consisting of two 18-pounders of the ]at Sussex Artillery, and two of the Cinque Ports Artillery ; whilst those on the left consisted of four 6 : pounders of the Ist Sussex. Behind and to the right of Warren Farm was another battery of ar tillery, consisting of four 18-pounders belonging to the 3rd Sussex. Far away to the right were the Cinque Porta Artillery, whilst four 18-pounder guns belonging to the let Sussex were placed in an advanoed position before the right of the attacking force. _ _ extending for an immense space from right to left, supported by artillery on both flanks. There was a never-ending fire of musketry along the line as it advanced, and as there was a splendid echo after each volley from Red-hill, the reverberation had all the appearance of a return fire, although there was none in reality, the enemy receiving the fire without flinching, and waiting for the nearer ap proach of the attacking force. As it advanced nearer and Dearer, Colonel Brewster ordered his army into line to meet the attack which was to decide the fate of the day. Both armies were now for the first time brought face to face in continuous line, and as they came within proper range a feu d'rnfer took place, which was kept up with great briskness and vivacity for several minutes, the echoes of which rumbled over the hills into the city of Brighton. There remained nothing now for the invading force but surrender or the sea, and as the attacking army were not Picts, although Colonel Brewster's corps proved themselves, though beaten, to be true Britons, it was not exactly a case of barbaros ed mare. Both armies, we are happy to say, after • splendid day's manoeuvring, fraternised together, and we have no doubt will long enjoy the recollection of the third great volunteer sham fight which took place on Brighton Downs. We have strictly confined ourselves in this ac count of • supposed foe invading Brighton, and the attack upon him by our volunteer army, to the vari ous phases of the fight, which lasted fornearly three hours. And although we have little doubt that praise, from a rpm ter from which it will be praise indeed, will be awarded to the volunteers who took part in the evolutions of yesterday, it may not be out of place even for an unprofessional spectator to give an opinion that the operations of the day were calculated to reflect the highest credit on com manders, officers, and men. The force was directed with an ensemble and the evolutions executed with a readiness and precision that augurs well for its efficiency, perhaps for its renovrn, if ever the day should come when duties more serious and more stern, though perhaps not much more fatiguing, than those of yesterday may be expected from them. It was supposed that there would be lees excite ment on the part of the public about this review than on previous ones. But the result showed that this was not the case. An immense concourse of persona accompanied the force to the most distant positions occupied, and followed the various evo lntiona with the keenest pleasure--and this in the face of a day that threatened rain in the morning, and that continued cold and windy throughout, although it was admirably suited for a military spectacle. It is due to the volunteers that the public should show this interest ; for, originating as they did in national enthusiasm it would be a bad return for the labour and zeal of the volun teers if the public were to exhibit any symptoms of a relaxation in the spirit which called them into existence. There certainly were no such symptoms on this occasion. And no small contribution to the military display of yesterday was made by the civil contingent which accompanied it. The march into Brighton after the review was much in the same order as the march out. And, as regards the bulk of the men, they wore as cheer ful aspects as if they had not undergone& very heavy day'alabour—tor it is a day of great toil to rise at 3 o'clock in the morning, as most of the volunteers did, to proceed 50 miles by rail to Brighton, to spend from 11 till near 7 o'clock on foot, march ing most of the time on broken uneven ground, and then travel back 50 miles more by rail. It was expected that about 19,000 volunteers would take part in the review, but there were not above 14,500 actually present. In the evening an arrangement was made for a torch-light procession on the water, west of the pier, in some 20 boats ; and on Tuesday a grand volunteer ball is to take place at the Royal Pavi lion, under the patronage of the Duke and Duchess of Richmond. Altogether, Brighton has been enjoying itself under favour of the volunteer review. =tad. The first division was, as we have stated, drawn up behind and in support of the second division, in the following order, viz., fourth brigade, third brigade, second brigade, first brigade. Major- General Russell was in co mmand of this division. There was but a small force of cavalry on the ground, consisting of the 9th (Queen 's Royal) Lamers, bent -Colonel Drysdale, C. 8., and the Ist Hants Light Horse, Captain Bower, 37. A detachment of the Light Cavalry of the Honourable Artillery Company, under the command of Sergeant Garrard, acted as orderlies. The cavalry were with the attacking party, and posted in the valley mid way between the hostile forces. Major-General Lord William Panlet, C. 8., commanded the whole form, and the general staff was composed of Colonel M'Murdo, C. 8., Inspeotor-General of Volunteers ; Colonel C. Morris, C. 8., Lieut.-Colonel B. G. A. Luard, Lieut.-Colonel C. P. Ibbeteon, Lieut.-Colo nel G. Hume, and Lieut.-Colonel G. B. Harman, Assistant-Inspectors of Volunteers. The troops having occupied the various positions assigned to them, the entire view was extremely beautiful. The ground on which they were ar ranged may be described as an amphitheatre—the invading force occupying the southern hills— Pleasant-hill and Red-bill with their backs to the sea—the attacking force planted on the northern hills with their front to the sea. The elevations to the west towards Brighton were occupied by spec tators. The strong points of the opposing forces were Woodendean, on which the right of the enemy or invading force rested, and Warren Farm, on which the right of the attacking army rested—both positions being strongly sup ported by artillery, which swept the intervening valley. The question was which would be able to descend the valley and drive hie opponent from the commanding hills. A few minutes before 2 o'clock the enemy's guns on Pleasant-hill'opened fire on the advancing battalions, and soon afteiwards the Inns of Court sharpshooters; under cover of the wood and stile, began to fire on the skirmishers thrown out by the attaclinir form, while the heavy artillery from Red-hill kept their advancing columns in check. By this heavy discharge the skirmishers of the attacking force were checked and driven in. Their cavalry then advanced in support, whilst their guns thundered from the north, but the cavalry were stopped at the foot of the ascent of the hill by the well-directed fire of the sharpshooters, and they retired. A second attempt had no better success, and so far the enemy, or invading force, seemed to have bad the best of it. Meanwhile, however, the left attack under Lord Elcho steadily advanced, and their sharpshooters approached under cover of the artillery to Woodendean. A terrible contest took place fir the possession of the wood, the Queen's Wartmiastees and the Devil's Own fighting most desperately for this important point. At length the Tempters were forced to retreat, and were seen tying helter-skelter across the fields and up Plea sant-hill, where the main body of their army was posted. To their credit, however, be it said, they disputed every inch of the ground with their antagonists. Hating been thus driven back on the main force creating the hill, the enemy now formed into line, swept the incline cf the hill with a raking fi re w hich it was impossible to withstand, and once more the attacking force was brought to a stand. Nothing could exceed the zeal and activity of Colonel Brewster at this trying crisis of the fight. He rode along the ranks, en couraging his men by his presence, and it must be allowed that he was ably seconded by his troops. But the attacking force, though stun ned, was not dismayed, and resolved at all bawds to dislodge the enemy ; it once more advanced in great force, the lift attack being now appported by the brigades on the right. The battle was once more renewed, but with more ob stinacy than ever. The amphitheatre of hills rang with the roar of cannon and the discharges of mus ketry, and for a long time it seemed doubtful on which side victory would incline. At last the enemy broke and retired down the southern slope of the bill, which was soon crested by the London Scottish, the Westminster, and the other corps forming the left attack. It was now evident that the enemy were beaten. They had been forced from thestrong positions at Woodendean ' and the hill above it, and they could only hope to find relief under cover of the heavy guns on Red-hill. They were retiring, however, in good order when, just I AM they tot on the level between the two slopes, the cavalry were seen advancing on them in the distance. They immediately formed square to receive the onslaught of the Lancers. Here the most brilliant exploits of the day took place. A aquadrun of the Queen's Royals at full speed charged upon the 3rd City of London and 32nd Middlesex, but the infantry received them without flinching, and such fearful valise from front and flank were poured into the cavalry, that they wheeled and fied. The next squadron advanced, and being similarly received, also turned and fled. There were nofewer than six of these cavalry charges each time the horses being reined up within a few yards of the infantry squares, and only on one oceasmu did the cavalry penetrate, and that not through a squarer, but between two squares of the enemy's force. These cavalry charges were so furious, and were so well sustained by the enemy's squares that for the first time during the fight th e spectators broke forth into shouts of acclamation. Baffled in their cavalry charges, the enemy retired only before the Hume Artillery, which now opened on them in an exposed position and from a near range. They retreated up Red-hill, and found the protection they so much needed under the shelter of their heavy guns. The height on which they had been posted rn the commeneetnent of the operations having been occupied by the left attack, it only remained to hurl them from the position they now took up, and for this purpose the whole of the attacking force was brought into play. The first division was bar& up, and the attacking army advanced in an lamest continuous lime, NAVAL AND MILITARY. TER .EXPREP,S, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1863.

The proceedings created the greatest interest, the mart being crowded. Our readers will remember that Captain Halm was succeeded by Captain Hoes while on the North American station. He (Captain Hillyar) ins placed on half-pay, and linos he left the Osmiuns and returned home theme charges were preferred against him. Captain J. F. Roes, of H.M.S. Cadmus, said—l fend the ship on July 30,1862, at Bt. John's, Newfoundland. Lieutenant LilhniMoe was in command of that ship when I joined her. About the middle of October, INS, the ship being teen at Fortress Monroe, the boy Baker was sent to the ship from the Petrel, as • deserter. Sokeepassitly Lieutenant Lillingstoa asked me if I would see Baker, and I directed him to be brought on the quarter-deck. Lath Lillingstoa stated the charge against bin,—having damned aka. John's, Newfoundland ; and I asked the boy what he had to say. He said he bad been thrashed !mad the upper deck with • rope's-end by Bowles, chief boatswain's mate, on July 30, at Newfoundland, and compelled to lean the ship, the boatswain's-mate threatening that be would have his— life if be did not jump overboard or leave the ship. I inquired if he had any witness to prove his date meat. He said there were plenty saw it. I told him I say wasted three or four credible witness. He called lon i theorisers mate, Smith, R. IL A., who corrohointed hie statement. The boy said it took plain about one o'clock at noon, when the men were at dieser. On heating the evidence of these men I observed to Lieutenant Ullieg etm that I should not punish him as • deserter, as he appeared to have been excessively ill used. I told Baker to go to his duty, make • fresh start, and try to retrieve his character. I told Bowles that it would probably.l•••• • serious matter for him. Nothing further pained un til I re rted the matter to the Commander-in-Chief at Bermuda. Lieutenant Lillingeton came to me when I was in my bed cabin and told me there was • dirty, troublesome fallow on board, and asked tos if I would mind his being put on shore with him bag, and allowed to run. I said, " Mind it I I should think I would, indeed ; I will not beton to sock a thing for • moment ; are you not aware how strict the regulations are on that point? Doped apes it if I hear of any one running I shall use my utmost en deavours to recover them. The next day Lieutenant Lil- Laptop reported to me that Baker was miming. I said it was very strange after what had pawed on the previous day. lie assured me he knew nothing about it, and could not find out when cc how he had gone. The ship bang about to 'sill had Baker's description made out and lodged in the hands of the police, with 34 reward. Did be tell you the same of the dirty, troublesome fellow I—He came to me a second time, and said Baker was " and that he was the person mentioned. In answer to the court, he said he did not, while in his cabin, bear my disturbance od the upper deck on the 30th. There was no estry in the log of the desertion. He made inquiries with respect to the boy, bat found within. Never lurid of his being scrubbed with sand and canvas until it was mentioned at the court of inquiry. Mr. Loos, midshipman, bad Aerie of the deck when the alleged punishment took place. He should not have heard the boy ay out if his punishment took place, u stated, on the forecastle, at as the fore part of the gangway. The boy showed no smith, nor inimetcond any. Nearly three months bad elegised silos the time when the punishment was alleged to have takes place. Very few minutes elapsed between the istervieweLientemot Lillingstou bad with respect to Baker. Neither the geoner's mate nor marine, when examined by him, wand that Lieutenant Lithripton was present when Bathe was punished.

I remember the ship being at Halifax. We left Halifax in Um evening for New Brunswick—(witoese did not remember the day or the year)—and on the lams evening the band was in the past pngway, and wine men were dancing. I was looking on when the masterat-arms came and took me before Lieute nant Lillicpton, who ordered roe to be taken below and stripped of all clothes. I we...put in a bread- g` suit (a bread bag with three holes in it). I wee kept under sentry all night, and by day kept se apin g. When we arrived at New Brunswick, 1 wee charged with desertion. I was kept on the lower deck in the bread•bsi suit more than a week, and I wen bad on one Sunday before Captain Hillyer, end charged with desertion by the master-at-arms. Hillyer told me minutes of the other. There'could be no mistake about what Lieutenant Lillinptou said about Baker. Lieu- Donut Lillineeton mailed with him in the Black Bea dm ime the Crimean war as second in com mand. The primmer (lieutenant Lillingstone) was not, to has knowledge, cognisant of Baker's desirties, &either was he implicated in any way in the matter that be haw of. Never received auy complaint' as to cruelty cencermingLientatonant Lillinpton since he had been in the ship. ilyl Captain Hillyar —I was subsequently aware that =(Captain Hillyar) bad app lied to the Admiralty for discharge as Moonigible. Possibly Limit. Ullingsks might have mistimed it at the time, but I did not think that an occurring barge I took command concerned me. There was no entry is the record book es to the buys' character. I applied to the admiral in the boy's favour simply as an act of kitties, be having forfeited his pay as a deserter, besides been charged 51 . police lzraaat w hs n ha had not, it appeared, deserted at all. I believe tam were levee entries with respect to Baker in the defaulters' book. I am aware of their nature sow, but was not aware of them until the court of inquiry sat. The defaulters book was pro duced, and the D-Judge-Advocate read the entail" rui follows :—" 10th Yaich 1861.—Being dirty in ekalies and person, seven days, black list. 6th June, 1961.—Desertion, 28 days gaol at lierbadoeit. 29th December, 1861.-81calk ing, No. 5, black list, 10 days. 25th December, 1861.

I was put in !the bread-beg suit three or four time. ; sometimes for a fortnight, and amootimes more than a week. I had • gannet on then, and (when I got a pair of trousers lent me I put them on, but my own cloth were taken away. I was more thief, es four or five days without say trousers. The bread bag suit was—the hole cut in the bottom of a bread-bag, sad one on each side for my emus. I have sometimes had sae heed-bag on and sometime. two When I had one bag on I did not at all time. have trousers on. Going from Halifax to Newfoundland I was again put in bread-bass ; this was in June or July. When we arrived at Newfound land I was taken before the first lieutenant and &mooed of being "lousy." He (Lieutenant Lillioptoo) was then in canonand of the ship. Hs ordered my hair to be cut off, sad that Ibe scrubbed with mad and maw. I heard pri soner give that order to Bowles, the chief boatswain's mate. My hair was all cut off, and I was scrubbed with sand and canvas. I was then rope'smoded around the deck, naked. I was scrubbed between the first and second guns, starboard side. I we. continually beaten during the afternoon by Bowles. I was naked the whole time, as well as during the time I was scrubbed. Was beaten with the end of the fore lift, main brace, side-tackke fall ! and tail of a block. I was then put in bread bags spin, and ropes-ended up to supper time. The same day Bowles passed me over the starboard gangway into the bombast. The sentry interfered, and ordered me up spin, and I went op. In the last dog-watch, the same evening, I Ina g , pared into the Desperate 's diary boat, and told 1 could go on shore. After the ship went away, and knowing them we. • reward out for me, I gave myself up to the police. I was put into • penitentia ry , and kept until the arrival of H.M.S. Vesuvius. I was taken on board and remained on beard for three days, after which I was taken In the Nils to Halifax, and sent in the Petrel to my own ship. I saw Lieutenant Lillingston when I rejoined the Cadmus, and I made • statement to Captain Rom in his presence. I told Captain BOW that I had been passed over the gangway, and that if I had not gone on shoos I should have been made jump overboard or have been "hove "over board, and that I had been flogged naked. Captain Roe. told me be could not punish me. I told Captain Roes that Bowles, the chief boatswain's mate, would havethrown me overboard if I had not gone. While in the bread-bag amt I was refused leave to wash myself. I was clean ing about and I asked the neater-at-arms to lot me wash myself, but was refused. The fifth day I moot for ward to wash myself, and was rope's-ended aft by Bowles. By Court—State the circumstances which led to the charge of desertion being made against you?—l was under Ne emetry's chugs ; they were "singing" out for the boy Melkham all round the decks, but he could not be (mad. After that I went forward and got a clean hammock out of Melkham'a bag, and when I came aft again the master-at arm was locking up the cell in the main hold. Corporal Fowler was standing iu the steerage. The mastsr-atarms came up out of the main hold and said, " You are hero, are you r The master-at-arms went on deck and roturned in a few minutes and put both my legs in irons. I remained in hoes about done days. I had both legs in irons that night, and the next day I bad one leg released. At the end of three days I was taken before Captain Hillyar, and the master-at-arms stated that he saw me going out of the fore-chains. I then called Corporal Fowler as a witness where the master -at -arms had first seen me. The master-aturms had stated an untruth, sad Fowler said the muter-at-arum first saw me when he came out of the steerage. I did not more from the steer ap until I was put both legs in Mum When I was taken before Captain Hillyar he said, "I cannot settle with that blackguard now : send him below." He was again put in leas until he went before the captain again. By Broadhead—When Lieut. Lilluiptom gave the order for my being scrubbed with sand and canvas I no ticed noose near but Bowles. I wen afraid to complain to any °Hoer in the ship when kept for three days in the bread bag suit. By Captain Scott—When rope's-ended round the dick baked after being scrubbed with sand and canms, I was so much confused that I did not notice whether any officer was near me. It was on the upper deck. When being thrashed I got into the launch, sad was followed by Bowles who stripped me, and took away my clothes. When I was scrubbed I cried out, and tried to get away from Bowles when he was thrath ing me. and my cries were heard on boiled the Desperate, so her boat's crew raid. I complained to no one. Thomas Regan, able mamas, interfered in my behalf, mid tried to prevent my being thrashed round the deck naked. The tinsmith's took place at dinnertime, sod during all the after noon, in July last. Lieutenant hunt bad the afternoon watch on that day, but I was so hunted about that I do not know who had the afternoon watch. By Captain Wainwright.— I was passed over the ado side by the ship's corporal into the Desperate* dingy. He was not allowed so take his clothes on shore, they were thrown overboard by Bowles, the chief boatswain's mate. Bowles treated me more harshly than other boys, because I believe I did not give him my grog. Iwu afraid to make any complaint of him. I was flogged on board the Cadmus, one charge of entering into a conspiracy against 801111114 by stating that I had *sera him in the fore-chaina with • boy, &c., and • court of inquiry was held, at which it was raid I WA telling afslaehood. Complained to aseistantsursean of being cold, and having bed nothing on but bread bags, but be said be could do nothing in it. I complained on the 90th July, 1862. When dressed in bread begs I was not allowed to sleep in my hammock, but slept on the deck in the steerage. By Captain Phillimore—l wax " loamy " whew reported for being so. I never heard Captain Hillyar give orders for my being placed in bread bags. Other boys were placed in bread begs. I have seen Captain Hillyar when Iha bread begs on. The Sunday I was taken before him I had them on. The court was sitting whim our parcel left. Purmourit, MONDAY. —His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and party visited Raglan be/racks at Devolipork on Sunday morning, and attended divine service at the military chapel. lo the afternoon he inspected the uarters at the citadel, and visited the ROISBUDOO, lying in Hamoeae.

A DIMATISTIID SOOTHIRNER.— The Cage of Gourd Pillow, so recently MM e pros:gout by himself, illustrates the to that may impend over General Toombe. Pillow was • man of immense fortune. His slaves were numbered by hundreds, and his property by hundreds of thousands.

It ap peared that In November, 186 1, the deleodent Wend into • contrast with the plaintiffs for the delivery of 20,000 rifle barrels of • particular description and gauge , which were in. tended for the Federal goverumeot, at the prim of 9a. od. per barrel, and 8,000 of them ware received end paid for, according to the terms of the contract. The rernaioder were rejected, and they were eventually sold by auction, and did not realise more than five !thaw, and even is., each. The present action was therefore brought to recover the difference between the slim realised and the amount to which the plaintiffs would have been entitled nader the terms of the contract. It will be remembered that in December, 1881, and shortly after the contrast had been made, • royal proclamation was issued prohibiting the exportation of warlike stores to either of the conflicting parties in America, and the consequence of this was that the prices of articles like those upon which the matraot in question was founded, fell very cootiderably, and It wee alleged, on the part of the plaintiffs, that this had some thing to do with the rejection of the portion of the barrels that was the subject of the action. The material question in the came, however, was whether the barrels that were rejected cams up to the sample, and whether they were of the description referred to in the contract, and upon this question a vast amount of technical evidence was adduced, rood of the witnesses for the plaintiff being Frenchmen, who were examined through the medium of an interpre.er. The care, which was utterly devoid of interest to the general public, was proceeding at • late hour, and it is my likely to occupy another day.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Kr. Cooper conducted the prosecution ; ea Mr. Pater defended the prisoner. The evidince of the prosecutor disclosed that at a quarter to one o'clodc of the morning of the 4th February last he was retuning bane from his employment u • journeyman Wks, and wen proceeding from the Bell Tavern, ia Lel cesterolowd, Leissetereqoare, where he had perishes of • couple of plasm of ale, along Sidney-alley, when lie °h eaved two men approachinging Ins, the one • low yards in thrum of the other.

He ordered him to come down, and on hie doing so he told the prisoner he should she him into custody for • highway robbery committed in conjunction with Alfred James. The prisoner replied that he knew all about it, and that he supposed he should get tee yews penal servitude for it, adding with • beastly euniasion to the witness, "I will kill you." The prsour instantly seized the leg of a heavy chair, and aiming at the witame's head, struck at him. The prisoner missed his aim, but the blow took effect on the witneues shoulder, by which likens was disabled. A violent struggle ensued, bat sithiance having arrived, the prisoner was secured arid conveyed to the polithstrition. The defence set up was an alibi, by which it was at tempted to be shown that the prisoner spent the night in question at the house of • friend at Notting-hill, where he slept and remained until the sth February, but the evidence to support the defence entirely failed. The Recorder summed op the evidence. and The jury, after five minutes' cousultatiosh, reinneed • verdict of Guilty. Sergeant Holmes, of the F division, proved a former con viction of the prisoner for stealing a watch, for which he had been sentenced in 1851) to three years' peed servitude, which term has not yet expired, but the prisoner had been let out on a ticket of leave. The officer added that the prisoner bad been frequently in custody on charges of felony, but had been discharged on a promise by his friends that they would send him to sea. The Recorder, after commenting upon the character of the offence of which the prisoner had been found guilty, sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for the term of ten years. The prisoner, on hearing his doom, fainted away, and wee carried out of the dock to the cello below. Charles Clarke, • respectable-looking man, surrendered in discharge of his bail, to answer three indictments charg ing him with embezzler:neat. Mr. Kydd conducted the prosecution; and Mr. F. H. Lewis defended the prisoner. The case occupied theorist a considerable time. It appeared that the prisoner bad in 18.54 been appointed the of thieved' (of w h ic h there were 500) of the Friend in Need Life bi gamies Sick Fund Friendly Society, and his duties were to canvass for members and to collect their eubscriptions and contributions to the society, for which he was to ac count to the trustees. The offence alleged spinet the prisoner was, the receipt and appropriation to himself of divan instalment' he had been paid by the members. . . - Ir7 F. Lewis took several technical objections to the form of the indictment, contending that he, being an agent. as stated in the terms of his appointment, was nos a servant within the statute relating to embezzlement by warrants. . ".. 111• Recorder overruled the objections, but intimated that he would take the opiuion of the judges when they arrived on Wednewley, if necessary.

At seven o'clock last evening • large crowd of people had collected in front of the Brighton Railway atatioa, a con siderable proportiou of whom were women, to weloome home the volunteers tram the scene of their mimic warfare The same order and regularity attended the arrival of the return trains that chameterised their departure In the morning. The Ant train with the volunteers left Brighton at 8.40, arriving at London-bridge terminus at &30, bringing the Inns of Conn or "Devil'. Own" oorpa, tits 3rd Loudon or Working Men's Brigade, and several detachments of other corps. The Lena of Court and the 3rd London, who Win the AM that took their departure in the morning, were also the diet to arrive home in the evening. Notwithstanding the early hour at which these expo mastered in the mooning, and the pro minent part they bore in the proceedings of the day, the men appeared but little !signed, and, having formed into line on the platform, marched out of the station, preceded by their bands, with the light springy Asp and soldierly bearing for which they are so much admired.

From this boar up to 11 o'clock the trains arrived is rapid succession, and the celerity, regularity, and early hoar at which the railway authorities deposited their warlike freights in the metropolis, ocatrarted most favourably with last year, when it was nearly three o'clock in the morning before the last train arrived at London-bridge. The volunteers were loud in their prise of the attention and efficiency of the Brighten Railway on the present occasion, especially taking into con sideration the tar upon them consequent on the extra traffic usual on Easter Monday.
