Toe grand Volunteer Review at 13righton to day promises to be a far more significant and im portant demonstration than any that has yet occurred in the history of the movement, not ex . . . cepting even the celebrated muster and parade in Hyde-park two yeah ago. No doubt that splendid gathering was, in several respects, a more brilliant, imposing, and picturesque event, not only from the scene in which it took place, and the variety of rifle corps from all parts of the kingdom that, appeared on the ground, but also, and especially, for the royal welcome extended to them by the august Lady who graced the field with her presence. But as an exhibition of the real value, the essential vitality, and the thoroughly esta blished character of the force, that magnificent display in Hyde-park is not to be compared with this Easter Monday field-day on the Brighton Downs. In point of mere numbers the Volunteer gathering of to-day will in all likelihood conside rably exceed any that his yet taken place. Up wards of twenty thousand riflemen are expected to be on the ground and engage in the evolution• of the day. It must be remembered, too, that this large force represent& little more than a single district, the great majority of corps being from the neighbourhood of London, and the whole movement, therefore, essentially • metropolitan one. But, after all, mere number are • very secondary consideration in estimating the real worth and significance of the demonstration. It is not nearly so much the numerical extent as the character and quality of the force that • day like this brings into strong relief. A field-day testa on the largest scale as well as in the severest and most public manner the soldierly qualities of a body of troops, their drill and discipline, their activity, intelligence, and power of endurance ; and when these troops are volunteers, their mere readiness to submit to such an ordeal is in itself an eloquent fact. It speaks of diligence and con stancy in the discharge of their self-imposed duties, of steady perseverance in • tedious routine, with the self-denial it involves, and the success it has achieved. None, it may be mistimed with tolerable certainty, will take part in the Rorie, to-day who have not systems. tically devoted their leisure hours to the business of drilling, and given up many a pleasant engage ment in order to be in their place at parades. The work of to-day thus compendionaly sums up the results obtained by months, and even years of resolute effort, and represents in the agent prac tical and expressive fors the seal and energy, the perseverance and mass in • weed, the strong and healthy vitality that eh•lacteriess the whole movement. Looked at in this light, we cannot but feel that the large gathering of Volunteers on the Brighton Downs t“-day affords just ground for national congratulation. It certainly affords the beet pos sible reply to the many rumours in circulation some months ago about a falling otf in the num• ben and efficiency of the force. There may pm- Ably lave been some alight falling off in numbers. More holiday recruits have no doubt " succumbed " under the pressure of continuous drill and con plant parades, and the force has in this way l..'n gradually weeded of its lees efficient immbers. Hut the event of to-day proves what might naturally have been expected, that it has gained immensely in compactness and efficiency. Those whu conetitute our Volunteer corps now are really trained riflemen, possessing first-rate soldierly qualities, and well able from their knowledge sad skill, their drill and discipline, to take part, if need be, in the actual defence of the country. Awl that with this increased efficiency there hie bees after all no substantial falling off in numbers, the present gathering sufficiently prove*. We know, at least, that we have twenty thousand well trained sad affective riflemen in and about London. Thisesse ampled success of this Easter Moisilseedentiestra hes tells very favourably in another way. Itshsws that • friendly and burly *Tit pervades the force. There have loess, as all the world knows, some slight di/Memos swept Some of its lead* iambus co points of internal manage. met ; and a .Naval *buy for the freedom and independeoco of the body, esiabined with • ground less alarm of interfaces* es the part of the authorities, produced • temporary division amongst its members. But good sense and good feeling triiimphed, and the grand gathering of to-day is the result. We can have no doubt bid it will tend directly to strengthen the feeling of har mony, union, and c , :rdiality that his already 1.. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY achieved so greet end Doble le victory. ' Ilie pee wees d Loyd Cleans tad the Doke of CAIOIIIIIOI will tend to prenele the cor dial feeling between the Orolenteers and t,t!, re gular military force, Ada ought t 6 exist between them. The Volunteers are, even on professional grounds, justly entitled to confidence and respect, and may therefore fairly claim not oily recognition, but friendly consideration at the hands of the military authorities. On the other hand, the authorities having never shown the least desire to interfere with the real in- dependence or freedom of the movement, are fully entitled tothe confidence of the Volunteers. The Review of to-day must powerfully contribute to establish on • lasting basis this feeling of mutual cosindence, cordiality, and respect. It will also of necessity help to impart addi tional vigour and animation to the whole move ment. A field-day on such a magnificent scale cannot but give an impulse to the force in every part of the kingdom. It seems that an enormous number of visitors of all ranks and classes, and from various parts of the kingdom, have assembled to witness the Review. As many as sixty thousand had already arrived on Saturday, and each a number of spectators represents a social and moral power of no inconsi derable amount. A Volunteer force rests of course, in the last resort, on public opinion and patriotic feeling ; and the stronger the popular opinion of its real value becomes, the greater is the assur ance of its efficiency and success as • permanent element of national defence. The Review of to day will in this respect, too, be a great national gain. It will help to show the country the value of the Volunteers, as well as to convince the Volunteers that they are appreciated by the country. And • national holiday could hardly be turned to better account than in helping to further such • thoroughly national object. • ITALY A • ROME, Lem 5.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PION 0011 OWN PARIS. SUNDAY EVINIIIG. Since I called your attention, some time ago, to an insidious clause in a bill for " modifying several articles of the penal code," by which it was pro posed to punish " libels and caricatures of magis trates, even although not made public," the pro jected innovation has made a great stir ; and now the public mind is so thoroughly aroused that I think the whole bill, which contains much obnoxious matter besides this particular provision, will share the fate of the Palikao dotatiuo, the salt tax, and other schemes whose failure marks the revival of public spirit in France. The government journals, pressed by the consideration that it is monstrous to contemplate that a unto is to be treated as a cri minal for &sentence written in his diary,or a sketch upon a slate, which would never have been known beyond the precincts of his own house but for a domiciliary visit by the police, have argued that the true meaning of the bill is that the sending of any libel or caricature to a magistrate, which, in French law, would not be a publication, is to be punished. But M. Prevost Paradol very well says in the "Ards, and cites many pregnant cases in support of his asser tion, that the most positive contemporaneous pro mises of official people afford no guarantee what ever to the subject against the worst possible con- struction of an enactment. In England such a subject of discussion could not arise. There it is familiar knowledge that an act of parliament is to be construed by its text, without the slightest reference to what may have been said by ministers when the bill was passed. Aud in spite of occasional loose practice, the law of France is necessarily the same. In Louis Philippe's time a law—passed to prevent certain political meetings—was objected to in its passage through the chambers, on the ground that its terms were calculated to restrict religious liberty. The most positive ministerial assertions were made that it was not intended to have any such effect, and yet many protestant meetings wore subse- quently broken up by virtue of that law. More recently a bill to prevent hawking immoral books in the country was made available by the Emperor's government to treat the distribution of a candi date's bulletin as an offence against the law d colportage, unless it was authorised by the govern ment. Therefore, says M. Paradol, we can place no reliance whatever upon promises in a matter of construction. But other and far more serious attacks upon liberty have been detected in the new bill. Under the pretext of miti gating the severity of the penal code by reducing certain offences now qualified as "crimes" to the category of "misdemeanours," it is sought still further to restrict the jurisdiction of juries, and to enlarge that of correctional judges, from whom convictions are more surely obtained. This is not all ; the discretion of the judges in passing sentences is to be abridged, and many cases are put in which they now inflict but six days' im prisonment, whereas the new bill would leave them no choice but to give at least six months. These projected changes "in the interest of repression," es the preamble to the bill has it, are most sus picious, coming from a government whose ante cedents do not shine as an example of respect for law. When M. Jules Fevre said the other day that the government mistrusted its judges, he was violently interrupted by Count de Morny ; but the presentation of this bill shows that he was quite right. The government is annoyed at the light sentences passed in many mint cases, and wishes to impose a minimum upon the judges more severe than that of the present penal code. The Corp/ Legislatif is very hostile to the bill, and I repeat that its success is doubtful. Tcpday being Easter Sunday there are no even ing papers. The Mather is extremely fine for the holiday makers. A telegram from the Minister of Marine, re- W C.

PARJE, BA7VIDAT Eviorara. - . Great surprise is felt that M. Michel Chevalier, of all people in the world—M. Michel Chevalier/. the member of the Peace Society, should have Biped au article in the &rue des Deux Mender, not merely in favour of the French expedition to Mexico, but in favour of it on the assumption that its object is to overturn the republic there and set up a monarohy. He regrets that the prince chosen should be an Austrian, and a de scendant of Philip IL, but nevertheless put up with this secondary objection, and warmly advo cates the principle of the intervention as calculated to further " Catholic interests and the influence of the Latin race." He moreover intimates, in stronger terms than even the Patric has done, that France will not only occupy Mexico,' but establish herself there for all the time necessary to " assure the institution of a dynasty." Wonderful, indeed, is the effect of a senator's livery. Nobody who knew M. Michel Chevalier before he put it on could ever have expected to hair from him the gratuitous utterance of sentiments which, lying quite out of the way of those special subjects on which he is an authonty, tend to unfathomable intervention in remote countries, dissensions with the powers of Europe, and ultimately to war with the United States. I shall be surprised, indeed, if his great friend and fellow-labourer, Mr. Cobden, approves of his appearance in this new character. I have heard • story of She Japanese embassy which, if true, is very interesting. It is said that they have concluded a treaty with the Emperor, in virtue of which lie undertakes to send to Japan 80 millions of franca worth of machinery and metallic goods, and is to receive in return wool, cotton, and textiles to a like value. How the question of profit and Ices is to be arranged in such a vast commercial transaction between two governments I have not the least idea. A shock of an earthquake was felt yesterday in several parts of the departments of the Doubs, the Cote d'Or and the Haute Saone. It lasted but a second, but is described as being so severe that in several localities people fancied the houses were coming down. Glass and china are said to have been broken. EARL CANNING AND THE CALCUTTA ADDRESS. The Englishman gives the following as the reply of Lord Canning to the address which was tad to his lordship by the inhabitants of cotes : " At eleven o'clock in the morning the sheriff of Calcutta was received at Government House, attended by a deputationof about 40 gentlemen, representing the Eu ropean sad Armenian merchants, civilians, bankers, tinders, *sten, railway, clerical, and professional classes, who at a public meeting held in the Tows-hall on the 7th instant, had adopted the address to Lord Canning on hie retirement, which we published in our report of that meeting. Pre cisely at the appointed time his lordship entered the throne room, and, after the usual courtesies, the sheriff reed sad presented the address, to which, in his usual earnest sal impressive style, Earl Causing made the following reply e— " Gentlemen : 1 receive your friendly farewell with plea sure, and I thank you for it. After the trials through which the British Empire in India has poised, it is sates- factory to rue to be assured that you appreciate the mea sures by which the attachment of the people to their government has been strengthened, and confidence in the stability of the state restored. The foremost of then sess sures were the exercise of mercy and forgiveness as mesa as authority had been vindicated, and the reposing of Mud and responsibility in classes which previously had no lime I of either. The restoration of financial credit is i controversy. The measures relating to the tenure of to which you bare referred as opening the way to the bene ficial influences of European enterprise, will not, I hope, disappoint you. It is not merely the employment of European capital which, in framing those measures, has been had in view. They have a further and a higher 'cope. England has before her one of the most difficult problems that state policy can be called upon to solve—the drawing together with harmony, and without injustice to either side, two great mons radindly different in everything that forma the character of men. but which, by the course of events, are being gradually brought face to face. And I know no measure which is more likely to teach to each skis its duty to the other, as fellow-subjects and neighbours, than one which shall enable the interests of both Lobe bound together more permanently than by those uncertain, precarious, and fleeting ties which have lutherto characterised the connec tion of Englishmen with the soil of Indio. Gentlemen, I am obliged to you far your expressions of regret at me being about to leave India, and for your good wishes. The intercom of this country will for the red of my life seldom be absent from my thoughts. But lam far from thinking that it is upon the exercise of high official power skies that those interests depend. Year by year larger in fluences than those of mere official position will be brought to bear upon the relations of England with her greatest dependency. That which I look to with the greatest con fidence is a correct knowledge and appreciation of India and her wants by the parliament and the people of England ; and it behoves us all most earnestly to desire that such public opinion should be just and well founds', and, above all, generous towards the people of India. Again, gentle men, I thank you for your courtesy, and I wish you heartily farewell' " The Emperor Napoleon gives a grand dinner at the Tuileries to-day, to be followed by a concert The Stabat Mater was chanted in the chapel of the Tuileries on Thursday, in presence of a numerous atten dance. The Emperor and Empress, and the princes and prince sex of the imperial family, a ith the household, were present The Abbe Frappel mashed the sermon on the Pennon. The .Miserers was chanted in the imperial chapel at half-past son Friday evening by the choristers of the Conservatoire. The visito:a who received levitation, were very numerous. A Naples letter says :—" We have now entered on Passion Week, and Stabat Meters are the order of the day. Last Friday Pergolas?, inimitable &abet Mater was performed at San Francesco Paolo. The church was crowded, and the music was admirably executed, Tiberini, Aldighieri, and the other singers at San Carlo taking a part. On Saturday we had a novelty, and a most agreeable one, in the form of a Stabat Mater by Mr. George Douglas, one el the respectable officers of the English Legion, who has dace settled sad married as English lady is Naples. All the great musical judges were present, and it is a sufficiest praise of this composition to say that Thalberg spoke of it ' as most promising music.' " Amongst the latest departures from Paris for the International Exhibition have been a number of colossal bow instruments, of dimensions which seemed to place them beyond the power of practical application. A number of Brobdignagian trombones, bassoons, and other wind in struments have been sent, together with violins, altos, and stringed instruments of every description. Several organs have also been forwarded. Amongst the pianofortes, the most perfect, as regards tone and furniture, are said to be those of Henri Hertz, who will perform at the Exhibition on one of his own instruments. _ The Paella of Egypt will be iu Paris early next month on his way to the Great Exhibition in London. Private letters from Alexandria mention that his highness would probably pay a visit to Constantinople or to Venice, but it was uncertain to which be would give the preference. He will be accompanied by a numerous suits, and will bring with him all his jewels of priee,and about 3,000,04Pfr. His stay is London will not be short, as he is wait anxious to no all that is worth seeing besides the Exhibition. It not said what time ho means to devote to Paris.

A letter from San Franehmso,vrritten by a resident, states that XlLanus died is a meet pitiable condition. " They let the poor fellow die a paper in the common comity hospital in Ban Francisca, and now make all this fuss about him. Many of those who subscribed largely to the expenses, to my owe knowledge refused him pecuniary assistance while alive and in actual want. A few nights beam the poor man died I gave him a glass of hot whisky and meter at a bar mom in this city. He had not enough to guy Igor a drink himself. The cant I heard of him was that he wee picked up in a Ilk and brought to the hospital, where he died, and was buried as a pauper."

The first, greatest, and most interesting fact connected with any out-door celebration in Eng land, is of course the weather, and I am happy. to be able to state that, so far, the weather promises to be on its good behaviour on Brighton Downs. There is no sun it is true—which perhaps can be dispensed with by evolutionary heroes—but there is plenty of wind, and a reasonable quantity of dust, an article of which Brighton is seldom with out a tolerably liberal supply. The general opinion here, at least amongst those whose heads are cool enough to form an opinion is, that to morrow's fi eld-day will be the greatest local fact that has transpired since Brighton grew out of Brighthelmstone, and since before the fourth George had built the Pavilion. I suppose it is the announcement of Lord Clyde's name that has done it all, seeing how much greater the local excitement is than it was this time last year, when volunteers had to review "on their own ho ok," and volunteer commandants were setting up rival encampments in various corners of Middlesex and Kent. At the railway station the verdict of Mr. Webbley, the very intelligent superintendent, is that the excite ment set in on Thursday last, when he had to supply more first and second class carriages for visitors from London than had ever before been required since his assuming the seals, or rather the keys of office ; and on Friday and Saturday the pressure extended to the third class, showing the number of artisans who came down and the thou sands et volunteers who had determined to be at the scene of action in time and fresh for their arduous work to-morrow. The meet complete arrange ments have been, by the joint exertions of Mr. Slight and Mr. Hawkins, prepared for the eventful day, and both gentlemen feel q uite sure that, if the various corps reach heir respective stations in time, their subsequent arrival at the trysting-ground may be taken as a matter of certainty. Out of the 90,000 men who are expected to be on the ground more than 12,000 will be from London, a fact which seems to indicate the extreme courtesy of the metropolitan corps to the Brighton folks in coming fifty miles to give them a military treat, whilst their own homes and friends are left desolate and deserted. Surely we must have another volunteer field-day this summer nearer London, and then we shall see whether the Kanto; and South-coast corps will go up to Wimble don or Epsom with the same alacrity as that exhi bited by the Londoners in coming down to Brighton. It is merely f believe, that respect for precedent which is inherent in the English character, that has caused the metropolitan corps to consent to come again to Brighton, as the general feeling amongst all their members with whom I have con versed is, that it would be much more con venient to themselves, and more agreeable to their friends, if the Champ de Mars could be found somewhat nearer home. Let us see : sixteen trains have been ordered, each to carry 800 men, and supposing the first to start at six, and the remainder at intervals of a quarter of an hour, they would all have been cleared off from London-bridge and Victoria by nine o'clock, and the rear guard might be at the rendezvous before eleven. It is a tough march up lull all the way to the Downs, and as in the volunteer army the martial spirit burns not exclusively in the breasts of men who would be selected as Chasseure de Vincennes, we may give them another hour before they are formed in order of battle. Everyone knows Brighton Downs, and how their undulating character tends to make an army sud denly disappear from the view of the spectators if evolutions of too ambitious a character are contem plated. Feelingly alive to what happened in that way last year, the authorities have determined that everything shall take place within the ridge which crests White Hawk Downs, so as that the Grand Stand people and the great mass of spectators shall see every thing that is to be seen. As there is to be no sham fight—a most prudent arrangement—the divisions will probably march to the ground in contiguous columns of companies, then deploy into line and commence file firing, when it is to be hoped that the practice will not too strongly re mind the hearers of the " distant and random gun " which formed such a remarkable feature at the burial of Sir John Moore. Last year some of the corps fired very close and well, and there were others who had reason to thank the prevision of Lord Banelagh in removing them entirely out of public sight and hearing. By the time the volun teers have exhausted their regulated allowance of blank cartridge in this harmless practice her Ma jesty's gallant 18th Hussars, 400 strong, will most probably appear on the scene, and, charging down at a three-quarter gallop, try the nerves and the discipline of the gallant volunteers. The latter will, of course, have to form square to receive the new visitors, who will exert themselves to pull up when within about six inches of their noses. This will be excellent practice for steadying in fantry, and was a favourite manoeuvre with the late Emperor Nicholas of Russia, who would him self brave the shook of fifty squadrons, and not be satisfied unless he could touch the nose of the front rank horse at the pull up. The cavalry charge may, however, be only a feint to induce the forma tion of the square, in order to make the latter a better mark for artillery, and then the artillery will open, and the discipline of the volunteers will be tried in echelon movements undertaken to avoid the new danger. If the day should be warm such • programme as the foregoing would (dye the volunteers plenty of work, and the signal to " break off" and seek refreshment would no doubt form a highly acceptable finale to the manoeuvres. The "march past," so highly popular with the volunteers for its "elegant simplicity," and with the spectators for its fine effect, and for being a manoeuvre which they can all understand, is still, I believe, unsettled as to time, but the general impression is that it will `take place at the oom mencement,when the volunteers, and thespectators, and everything, being fresh, it will no doubt have a very tine effect. It will take 20,000 men about an hour and a half to march past and salute, and as Colonel M'ltudo expects to have his whole army. back at the trains by five o'clock, there will not be much time for complicated manoeuvres. So much for the camp. As for the town, it will be earlier for the public to imsgine than for me to describe the excitement of Brighton in the-premo nitory agony of a volunteer review. Ever since I arrived here I found the streets almost impassable, the hotels hotly besieged, and the keepers of lodging-houses standing at their doors enjoying the cruel luxury of turning away whole regiments of carpet-hags, with the information that they (the lodging-house keepers) were " quite fulL" The shopkeepers pronounce it to be better than " the season,' and when a Brighton shopkeeper admits that anything is better than "the season," you may take it for granted that it is something very superla tive indeed. Theoorporation, a wholly invisible, but dreadfully potent Vehmgerieht, about which nobody here seems to know anything except its mysterious power, has published all sorts of ukases, to strangers, to townspeople, to volunteers, to regu lars, to cabmen, and to innkeepers. Every one says that the regulations so promulgated are absurd, but nobody ventures to resist them. " The corporation" has ordered it, and my impres sion is that instant death, aggravated by the most cruel tortures, would be the infallible result of the slighest attempt at grumbling or disobedience. Happily there is no prohibitren against prome nading King's-road and the adjacent sea lines, and consequently they are literally alive with gallant volunteers and fair ladies who have come out to sea them. Such of the former—and they are hundreds, if not thousands—who were wise enough to get down yesterday, have done very well. The " Cavil Ser vice" engaged an entire hotel, the host under taking to frank them until Tuesday morning at a guinea • head, a very reasonable tariff considering the retail prices demanded in the same quarters. The celebrated " Muttons" is besieged from morn ing until night with as much vigour as if it were the No.lo Island in the Miasissippi, but I am happy to say with much better success. The volunteers must by this time have stormed and sacked it over and over again, and the proprietor have " sacked" a good deal of volunteer money, a . . Lisc liErocity of good dimes which was no doubt le to both parties. The " people " crowd agreeable to volunteers as "they march through the town," and congratulate themselves that the intruders have "no billets," the local "brigade" appeal to them to have their shoes "shined," thereby showing that in Brighton the aesthetic is the dominant idea, as a London shoeblack asks only to "clean" your shoes, and the fishermen tempt them with extraordinary dogfish and specimens of algte to take home as souvenirs of their riot to Brighton. I have here accumulated perhaps quite enough facts to justify the excitement of Brighton at the present moment ; but there is another matter a licit more than anything in the world keeps every one on the tenterhooks. " Where is Lunt Clyde r " Has he arrived, or is he still in London, and, if arrived, where does he put up 1" The Brightouiaus at first determined on giving his lordship a dinner, which he declined, and then they made up their minds to show their respect and admiration for his lordship by following him everywhere he a ent iu crowds, and cheering his head off at every possible and impossible opportunity. But the pacificauir of India was not to be thus caught, and up to this very moment his whereabouts is a matter of horrid uncertainty. First I had a circumstantial aro mut that his lordship arrived on Saturday morning, and galloped over to White Hawk Down to survey the intended battle-field. Then I was toll that two orderlies of the 18th Huasara arrived at the rail way station at about two o'clock, with a led loom., and mysteriously took away a military veteran, closely muffled , up that nobody dared take off his hat or shout lest he should be glorifying the wroug man. Finally, I had a more circumstantial .letul about "three cabs which arrived at 3.15," when way was cleared for the Marquis of Donegal, aid when a quiet gentleman following him and the crowd pressing forward, somebody called out, "Keep back, it's Lord Clyde." Then the royal standard was hoisted at the York Hotel ; but when I went there to inquire I found it was only a burst of spontaneous enthusiasm on the part of the land lord, apropos of nothing in particular. You will see, therefore, that with respect to the locus is quo of the Commander-in-Chief, I must write somewhat in the style of the cautious envoy sending home the rumours of the demise of the grand monarque,-. " Some say the King is dead, some say he is alive ; for my part I believe neither the one nor the other." THE RAILWAY STATIONS THIS MORNING. As early as 5 o'clock this morning, the Brighton Railway stations at London-bridge and Pimlico received the different volunteer corps who are to take part in the field-day at Brighton. Just be. fore 6 o'clock a shower of rain fell, but the sky speedily cleared, and the approaches to the railway were soon lined with specWors. As each corps arrived, with its band playing some martial strain, it was loudly cheered ; those corps who by their efficiency and discipline have earned for themselves an especial place in public favour being very warmly received. Arrangements had been made with the railway authorities for ten trains to be in readiness at each station for the sole use of the volunteers, and that the whole of them should leave for their destination between 5 and 8 o'clock a.m. The Crystal Palace station and platform was made use of for the occasion, and by this measure the parliamentary and other traffic) of the line we'e kept quite distinct. The public were strictly excluded from this station, and by this arrangement the volunteers, as each corps arrived, were seated in the trains and despatched with cele rity. There was not the slightest confusion, and the whole of the volunteers had left the station by twenty minutes to & Should the arrangements for the return be conducted in the acme business-like manner, the volunteers will on this occasion have no cause for complaint. At the London-bridge station the first corps to arrive, at 5.10, was the 2nd London (Spottiswoode's), followed immediately by the 4th London (Foresters), the Inns of Court, and the 3rd London (Working Men's) Brigade. After these came, in rapid succession, the Ist London, or City, Rifles, the Tower Hamlets corps, the 39th Middlesex (Clerkenwell), the Civil Service, the Surrey corps, and the Kent and Essex detachments. The Surrey Artillery were the last corps to arrive. In all about 8,000 men left this station. The principal corps leaving the Victoria station at Pimlico were the Victoria Rifles, the London Scottish, the London Irish, the Queen's (Westminster), the South Middlesex, and the St. George's, altogether about 6,000 men. The corps belonging to the outlying districts of the metropolis, having e in view the fatigue of the day, wisely dia with the march from head-quarters to the stations, and were conveyed to the railway in cabs and omnibuses, an immense number of which had been pressed into the service. Profiting by past experience, the great majority of the volunteers had provided themselves with well-filled haversacks, that they might not be dependent upon the town of Brighton alone for the necessary rations, or for the satisfying of appetites sharpened by au early rising and march, and "eight hours at the sea-aide." The usual parliamentary trains were started at 6 o'clock, filled almost to suffocation, and shortly after the last despatch of volunteers, special fast trains for the public were put in requisition, and speedily crowded. These trains were no sootier despatched than the services of the railway officials were again called into active requisition by the influx of the Easter Monday holiday visitors, who were shortly after 9 o'clock rapidly pouring into the station. It is expected, the weather being so favour able, that taking into account the volunteers, the regular and holiday traffic, and the Crystal Palace, consequent upon the reappearance of Blondin, the number of passengers that will be carried ou the Brighton ltailvray to-day will be in excess of that on any day since the line has been opened. THE SCENE AT BRIGHTON. (BY =craw AND INTIRNATIONAL TILIONAPOJ (nog ous OWN BRIGHTON, MONDAY, Noes.
