(raoM OCR SPECIAL itsrosscas.) PORTSMOUTH, MONDAT. The march past, so far as it went, was very in teresting, but there is no concealing that it was, as a recognised portion of the day's proceedings, a mistake. At a rough guess—and any mention of numbers on an occasion like this must be regarded as mere estimates—there were 16,000 who took part in it, sad their appearance gave much satis faction, but some of the moat popular of the London rifles were. omitted altogether, and were angrily expressing their dissatisfaction as they pr o o ee d e d to Portedewn-hill to perform a lees conspicuous part. The marching past occupied about an hour, sad after passing the grand stand the corps turned sharp to the loft, and left the common, pro ceeding in di ff erent directions to Portsdown. . . The "sight from Portadown-hill, before the com mencemeint of the sham fight, was most magnifi cent. The sun was shining with unusual warmth and brilliancy, and the air was so clear and bright that the eye could easily discern all the objects of historic and natural interest which are centred in this part of Hampshire. This county has figured in no unimportant manner in the early history of England, but great as are its historical associations it is no lees rich in points of natural beauty, and nowhere does it present a finer panoramic view than that which is to be obtained from the heights of Portmlown-hill. Looming grandly in the dis tance stands the Isle of Wight, the towers of Osborne being plainly visible. To the right runs the Solent, winding its way to the waters of Southampton, and on the left are the forts which surround our great naval rendez vous, Spithead. In the valley lay the towns of Portameatth,Gosport(originally named God's Port. so says tradition), Portsea, Southsea, and Land port,with their harbours and creeks, which together make a same in every sense most picturesque and animating. A better place for a slum fight it would scarcely be possible to select than that of Portadown-hill, for on its summit are large for tresses, which are destined to form, when.n com pleted, one of the chief defences of the grea t arsenal of Portsmouth. and near the foot of the hill are the Hilsea lines. The fact that this spot had been selected for the sham tight of the volun teers in their review of 1868 may well have caused excitement in the towns which we have mentioned, as well as in Cosham, Fareham, Havant, &c., which are situate near the hill. The pretty little village of Cosham was this morning early alive with excitement, and its few straggling streets were decorated with a taste which would have done credit to a more ambitious place. Triumphal arches had been erected in suitable positions, and there was a profusion of flags and banners. Its streets were also thronged with holiday-attired pedestrians wending their way to the hill, in order to secure the best possible positions from which to view the great event of the day. Acting upon the advice iradared by the Mayor of Portsmouth, hundreds of the inhabitant' of that and adjacent towns proceeded to the hill early in the day, be lieving it impossible to combine a sight of the marching past on Southsea-common with the more elaborate and attractive movements which were to beperformed at a later period. The best view to be obtained of the fight was unquestionably that from the slope of the hill, near Widley Fort, behind the village of Cosham, and here many thou sands of persons ensconced themselves. As the morning advanced, and the railways arrived with their heavy freights of passengers at the adjacent stations, the roads leading to the scone of action were much crowded, and presented a most lively appearance. The majority of persons appeared to have left their homes with a thorough determina tion to enjoy themselves, and the careful conside ration which they had given to the important question of viands was plainly demonstrated by the heavy loads of creature comforts which most of them carried. The hill aide was ultimately so stocked with people that it can be likened to nothing more appropriately than the Epsom downs on a Derby day, with perhaps a little less of that exuberant fun which marks the great carnival of the turf. The populace were congregated in and near the entire length of the hill between Southwick Fort and Widley Fort, a distance of some two miles, this being the extent of the line to be occupied by the invading army. It will be well remembered that it was originally intended to march the whole of the volunteers in review on Southaea-common, but in consequence of numbers this was found to be impracticable, and therefore a material alteration took place in the programme. Instead of conveying the whole of the volunteers to Portsmouth, it was then determined to take those of Sussex to the station at Havant, while those connected with the different corps of the counties of Wilts, Dorset, Devon, and Hants, were put down at Fareham, both these stations being in close proximity to Portadown-hill. Matters were much simplified by its being decided that these volunteers should be formed into two divisions, and compose the attacking party. The de fensive army consisted of the various volunteers, metropolitan and otherwise, which were conveyed to Portsmouth, and who had to walk from that place, after the conclusion of the march past, to the Mises lines, which was the position assigned for them to commence action against the enemy. The volunteers composing the attacking party put in an early appearance, and for several hours they were enabled to enjoy the beauties of the scenery around them, until the arrival of their less fortunate comrades, who had to undergo all the fatigues of a march of four miles on a dusty road, with a broiling sun over their heads. With scarcely an exception, however, this tedious journey was performed in the most exemplary manner, and the spirits of the men never seemed for one moment to flag. In spite of the blinding character of the dust which was raised by their marching, they bore the inconveniences of a parched mouth and almost blind vision with the utmost good humour, and the result was that the whole of the defending force was enabled to take up its position on the field oil battle within a very short period of the time which had been arranged. No doubt something was also due to the very admirable manner in which the various roads leading from Portsmouth to Ports down-hill werekept, and the promise of the Mayor of Portsmouth to secure an uninterrupted passage for the progress of the volunteers appeared to have been sustained as far as it was possible to do so. The • plan of the battle which was originally decided upon was materially altered on two or three subsequent occasions, and the program e which was gone through to-day was really not finally settled until Sunday evening. This latest plan differed in several . respects from those which were previously published, but there is no reason to com plain on this score, for the alterations materially tended to the simplification of the moveme n ts. In feet the sham fight which was gone through to- I day could not have been more intelligibl e an d l ass, intricate in its general character. We will at once proceed to give some idea of the nature of the battle, and how it was carried out. An invading army, RODGERS'S IMPROVEMENTS in SHIRTS.

The first division, widish was under the command of Major-Geneeal Ronny, and which comprised the volunteers set down at Fareham, occupied the ground in rear of Paul's-grove and Wymering,and the second division, under Major-General Sir Alfred Hereford, IC.C.R, moved from Havant upon the village of Coolant The army of defence, as it arrived from Ports mouth, took up its position on the Hilesa lines, various roads, earthworks, and bridges having been constructed to enable them to properly meet the attack of the enemy. About a quarter to 2 o'clock, the enemy having established communication between their two divisions by means of cavalry, proceeded to throw out pickets as far as the line of railway. The response which this movement drew from the defensive party was the firing of the first gun placed on the Hilsea lines. Scarcely had the sound died away when the artillery on the heights of Portadown-hill opened their fin on the lines below, and the battle had thus fairly made its beginning. The defensive army at Ma threw out a battalion of skirmishers over the new iron bridge, and Portsbridge respectively, and these, without advancing more than was necessary to obtain cover, opened fire on the pickets of the attacking Toros. The commander of the enemy's army was not slow in retorting upon the skir mishers, for he at once ordered his pickets to be reinforced, and a smart fire was kept up between the two for a considerable time, ending somewhat in the discomfiture of the defensive skirmishers, for in order to retrieve lost ground orders were given that the artillery, which were in reserve behind the Hilsea lines, should at once be placed in posi tion, and under the fin of their guns and that of the skirmishers a sortie should be attempted upon the enemy. No better illustration of the admirable manner in which both the men and horses of some of our volunteer artillery corps have been trained could have been afforded than at this movement. The lines of Hilaea are at present in the roughest and most un finished state, and the roads andpathways leading to the top of them are covered with sharp flint stones. It may, therefore, be well imagined that the task is neither easy nor pleasant to ascend such roads, and the difficulty is rendered still more ap parent when it is known that heavy pieces of ord nance had to be dragged to the top and placed in position. With hearty goodwill, however, the men set to work, and, by dint of much preeeve ranee and admirable patience, they succeeded in ' attaining their object, and the guns reached the summit of the lines. Here they were enabled to command the valley before them, in which a portion of theenemy's army was placed. The artillery having opened fire it was necessary that the defensive force should pass over the ditch and creek, which surround the Ribose lines. For this purpose two pontoon bridges had been thrown over the water— one having been constructed by a large party of Royal Engineers from Aldershot, under the com mand of Lieutenant Blood; and the other by • Viof Hampshire volunteer engineers. Both va were admirable specimens of this kind of military work, and fully answered the '•-• poses for which they were constructed. The experienced engineers of our regular army were able to adjust their buoys, saddles, balks of timber, cheeses, or planks, buoy lines, &c., in ten minutes, so that the bridge was ready in that time for the passage of infantry, while in five minutes more tho bridge had been made so secure that it was capable of allowing a siege train to pass over it. The methodical manner in which the men dis charged their duty—each to his own particular post, and acting under the strictest discipline —was subject for admiration by all the volun teers who witnessed the performance of this work, and none the least of the many im portant lessons which are to be learnt from the ahem volunteer fight of 1868 is that attending the construction, and making of practical use, pon toon bridges, which have to be thrown over rivers and creeks in the shortest possible space of time. Over the two bridges of which we have spoken, and the iron bridge higher up the creek, three columns advanced, two of which were formed by the men of the third division, and the other by those of the fourth. In the meantime ; the artillery of the at tacking force were brought into position, and le plied to the fire of the guns mounted on the Hikes lines, while the line of skirmishers belonging to the defensive army advanced, driving those of the enemy from the line of railway. Up to this point the immense mass of spectators on and around the hill had an excellent view of the mimic warfare which was being carried on. The movements of the contending armies were plainly visible, and the din and roar of heavy artillery and rifled can non lent an excitement to the scene scarcely to be surpassed. Great energy was displayed for the possession of the line of railway, but the skirmishers of the enemy, who had originally taken possession of it, were unable to keep their ground against the deadly fire of their opponents. Once in full retreat, the enemy were pursued until they reached the villages of Cosham and Wymering. It was atthis period of the battle that the sightseers were treated to one of the most exciting events of the day. The retreating army of the enemy took possession of some of the streets at the top of the hill leading from Cosham to Ports down, while the defending force, who were in pur suit of them, occupied the lower part of the village nearest to the Mass lines. In this position they kept up a continuous fire between each other along the streets for some time, to the great alarm of several of the oldest villagers, who could scarcely be mad* to think that there was no serious earnestness about the warlike scene which was being enacted in their presence. To the majority of those who witnessed this part of the,prooeedings, however, the event was i alike exciting and nteresting, and the volunteers themselves appeared to highly appreciate the im portant part which they were playing. Ultimately the enemy were dislodged from their position at the extremity of Cosham, and the battle once more betook itself to the brow of Portedown-hill, the line of the attacking force extending from the rear of Paulagrove to the Widley Fort. The defending force continued to advance, driving the enemy completelely away from Cosham and Wymering and the line of road connecting these places. The general of the invading army, seeing the character of his position, threw back his left, and then pro ceeded to hold Paulsgrove as the key of his position, in order to cover his re treat to Fareham, which was now immi nent. It was at this point that another interesting feature in the day's proceedings was brought into action, and that was the gunboats, launches, &c. This naval flotilla had been got under weigh at 'noon, and under the command of Captain F. B. Seymour, of the Victory, assisted by Commander Stirling, of the Excellent, had proceeded op Portsmouth harbour to Porehester Lake, where they moored themselves in a position nearly oppo site to Southwick Fort. There was the gunboat Stork, the Fancy gunboat, and the following boats :—Bellerophon's pinnace, Duke of Wel lington's launch, Duke of Wellington's se cond launch, Gladiator's paddle-box boat, Gladi ator's pinnace, Pa ll as's pinnace Royal Oak's pin naoe, Terrible's paddle-box bad, Victory's launch, , Bellerophon's launch, Excellent's cutter, Excel lent's launch, Excellent's pinnace, Gladiator's paddle-box boat, Pallss's pinnace, Royal Oak's launch, Terrible's paddle-box boat, and Terrible's pinnace. The gunboat Stork towed thus boats as far as Porchestey Castle, where they wage east et, and subsequently took up their appoin in the creek, the tide being sufficiently se MI hoer of the day to allow of their es& 'adorable distance up the The securing thadaervices of these boats waste er n ! the defending force while they were presseft Obi enemy in their retreat towards Fareknas 13111, [ONE PENNY cutters and pinnaces first opened fire, which wads maintained by th e di v i s i ons of fi rst I:mulches and paddle-box boats, second pinnaces, and cutters, at the rate of about one round every five minutes by each, but this number was in creased to three rounds per minute when the enemy posted a strong force of artillery at IPaulagrove to answer the fire which was being showered upon them from the creek. Although the naval display on this occasion was by no means so imposing as that which was witnessed on the occasion of the review at Dover last year, when 1 , several of our large ironclads took part in a minis_. fight with the castle and fortresses of that town, yet the gun boat performance of to-day added un questionable interest to the whole, and was an evident source of attraction and gratification to a-- large number of ladies and gentlemen who from the great Norman tow er o f th e old historic Castle of Porchester viewed the entire series of opera tions. Tho defending army having so completely routed the enemy by which they were awaited, it only remained for the finishing stroke of the battle to be accomplished by the soldiers of the regular army. It was accordingly arranged that a field battery of artillery, composed of the 11th B r i ga d e , the 6th and 12th Bries of Royal Artillery, the 34th, 35th, and 97th ReOments of Foot, the 11th, Depot Battalions , the Marine Artillery, &c., in an: amounting to betweeni 5,000 and 6,006 men, should act as a reserve force to the defending divisions. Accordingly, when the defensive army had done such exlent service the regulars were called out to complete the work. The infantry were at once formed into line on the hill at right angles with the position which had been occupied by the force of the enemy. Advancing with a stately and " gre nadier-like' step, the front rank opened fire upon the retreating army. The character of the volley at once attracted attention, for there was no mis taking the essential difference between the clans of rifle which was now being used and the one which had been fired in the battle up to this period. The regulars were in possession of their Snider weapons, and these they were firing at something like the rate of eight shots per minute—a proceeding which must have caused sad havoc in the ranks of any retreating army, had the occasion unhappily been one of a more serious character. Volley after volley was fired in this way, and as from the Enfield the volunteers had only been firing some three shots per minute, an additional in terest was given to the close of the proceedings by the mere fact of the soldiers of the line using this vastly superior weapon of modern warfare. Both in firing and marching in column the men connected with the garrison of Portsmouth ac quitted themselves most efficiently, and England has good reason to be proud of the stamina and character of her soldiery when such regiments can be turned out as those which to-day assisted the volunteers upon Portsdown-hill. Respecting the battle, nothing more remains to be said. The enemy were completely routed, and glad to escape from the field of battle—defeated, but not dis graced. Speaking of the whole proceedings, we can only express our great satisfaction at the immense success which attended everything that came under our notice. People there were, and not a few, who were ready to predict failure as inevitable at Portsmouth, but it will be gratifying to those who have the real interest of the volunteer movement at heart to be told that fewer hitches marked the performance of the evolutions in the field on this occasion than we ever remember to have wit nessed before. Faults there were, both of omission and commission, but these sopale into insignificance compared with the successes that were achieved, that it would be most uncharitable to further allude to them. It would also be invidious to select for commendation the performances of any particular corps, when the vast majority were so good. We desire only to express a hope that their soldier-like bearing and conduct to-day will materially raise them in the estimation of the public. Having walked five miles to the scene of action, and en dured all the fatigues of the day, the return journey was commenced to Portsmouth soon after four o'clock, and safely accomplished in about an hour and a-half. Many volunteers almost immediately took their departure for home, while others pre ferred some little rest and efreshment before leaving. In the early part of the evening the trains appeared to be got away with considerable ragn lnrity, but as the numbers increased and the night advanced the difficulties of regularity and punc tuality increased, and we fear many would not see their domiciles until much beyond the hour at which they had calculated. As regards the numbers who took part in this review, although no official Vl turn has yet been made, there can be little doubt that the original estimate of 32,000 volunteers and 6,000 regulars was something near the mark, and the armies which yesterday fought in friendly rivalry amounted to a total of little less than 40,000. The pleasures of the day were only marred by a few slight accidents, as far as we were able to learn ; and we sincerely trust that the review of next year, wherever it is held, may peewee similar attractions and achieve a similar success to that of to-day. THE ARRIVAL IN LONDON. Owing to the unusually large number cf volLn ' tetra concentrated at Portsmouth, the heavy day's work to be gone through, and the limited station accommodation in the town, it had been generally anticipated that great difficulties would occur in the return home, and that it would he impossible for the great body of the men to reach ' London until a very late hour in the evening. It is grati fying to be able to state that these gloomy anticipations were not fulfilled, bat that, on the oentrary, on no pre dons Fader llamday were the volunteers brought beak to London so eirlk ast with such regularity, and with aushan , absence of an ything approachin g to confusion. The real , ways have proved emeelves fully equal to the task they undertook to perform, and notwithstanding that they I had to bring back last night • considerably r larger number of men than they 'serried down in the morning, the trains arrived in Loudon , at • reasonable hour, and in regular and quick emaciation. The railway offleials were, it is but far to ' state, much melded by the steady aad orderly condact of the volunteers is entering the station sad taking their plane is the traias, a very general desire bailiff evinced too cooperate with the railway companies making the Metre home as regular sad esedertside as wee the departure in the moaning. One of the main mutes of this happy termination of the day was, that ' no attempt was made to bring bask the men in corps as t they went down, which bee heretofore occasioned delay and confusion, but aa soon as • sufiicient number of men were in the station a train wee loaded and sent off lyre epootive of what corps they belonged to. The consequmme was that each train brought up men belong ing to almost every cerise present at the review. The first train arrived at Waterloo station at 9.20, sad was followed by others la quick SACOIIII4OII, so that by 10.30 no hoe than six trains had arrived, aoatain ing 22 earthmen each, and it was fully expdded, no acci dent orving, that* the whole efothe taste, 11 is amber, would be at the station before twelve cielock. The trios at the London-bridge station came in about the same times as these of Waterloo, where the mate result was ex pected. The South Wisteria Company loaded their trains at the Doskyard station, and the Brighton and South Coast Company at the Lendport statics. Great crowds of people were assembled to welcome home the volunteers, both at the Waterloo and Loudon-141P stations, and tapir inqui ri es were made of these as to bow the day had gone off after all the forebodings of failure, and much gratification was evinced by all when the general reply was that the day had been • diocese is every respect. The dusty and laded appearance of the men gave evident proof that they had performed • hard day's work, in addition to having lad less than h.lf a night's rest betas* commeseing it.
