THE FORTHCOMING VOLUNTEER REVIEW. The following general orders have been issued : The commanding officers of the metropolitan corps of which the attendees* at the review has been sanctioned should make their arrangements so as to insure the punctual arrival of their respectiveaorps at the railway station at the hours which have been alr ead y notified. The commanding officers of the country corps of which the attendance has been sanctioned must make their arrangements with the railway authorities so as to reach Slialford Common, near Blackheath, not later than 10 ►m. Whilst proceeding through the streets of the metropolis b the railway station, commanding officers are to be careful in keeping their corps from overl apping any corps that may be in their front ; and they must arrange their order of march so as to keep the thoroughfares clear. When • corps arrives within 100 yards of the railway rintioo, its band must wane playing. With a view to ►void codusion at the metropolitan rail- way stations, a corps is not on any account to approach within 100 yards of the station unless it is properly told off, and prepared to enter the carriages on reaching the platform in regular military formation, nor until the commanding of has his warrant correctly filled up, and ready for delivery to the collector at the gate. Neither is a corps to attempt to enter the station should it arrive there whilst another corps is engaged in entering. In such auontingency, , it must halt until the entrance is clear. The directions of the staff officers at the railway stations are to be promptly obeyed. Commanding oificen mast bring with them to the review field states of their respective corps. In the cars of ea infantry core, which is joined with others bittalios on this emu's. tits field otsto is to be_ banded to the officer occarnanding the battalion, to stable him to make out a field state for the whole betalioa. The field states of the field batteries of artillery will be given to the brigade majors of the Royal Artillery, those of the battalions of infantry will be given to the brigade majors of the brigades to which they respectively belong. The whole of th e field states will be subsequently col lected by an assistant inspector of volunteers. Nooompany is to be of less strength than 24 files, or of greeter strength than 32 film . The number of oompany officers accompanying the troops is to be strictly limited to three for each company. It is desirable that battalions should be made op to six emapaiies, but no bittalioa of less than four companies will, of any aCODUDI, be ►llowed. The rank mid Me of the infantry should be provided with blank ammunition at the rate of 20 rounds per man. " ' . AmMunition in proportion of 50 rounds per gun will be served out to the Field Batteries on the ground. It is recommended that every volunteer should be pro vided with a haversack (worn over the right shoulder), and a water bottle, and that he should carry with him his provi sions for the day. It is also most desirable that each should haves cloak, caps, or great coat. Uniformity of pattern may be dispensed with on this occasion, provided the gar ments are folded neatly and carried in the same way by each , corps. Officers commanding battalions wall give the order for their men to cloak when necessary. On reaching its destination by the railway, each oorps will, on leaving the carriages, resume its military formation, and at once Shalford Common, where the force will arrangedmi to in bripclee sod divisions. This hatralioas from London-bridge, Kent, and Swear, will be brigades! in the order of their arrival at the eastern extremity of Shalford Common, in columns at quarter distance right in front, also facing the north, and, with the rest of the Artillery, will compose the 2nd division. The battalions from Waterloo, and from Surrey, Hants, and Berke, will be brigaded on the western part of the comma., lacing the north, the right resting on the road to Blackbetth. These, with a proportion of Artillery, will constitute the Ist division. After a short halt to refresh the men, each brigade will more off independeotly. The brigades of the let division will proceed by the road leading past Old Tang*, and be brought into position by staff officers on reaching the plateau. . . . . - - . . _ _ 'ila•bripdee of the 2nd division will move by Little Tangley lam and Phillip'alsne, and pursue their march directly to the eastern extremity of the heath. ()Soars oommanding batteries of position will be careful to move their gnus on to the heath early in the morning of Monday ; they are sot to leave Shalford later than t 3 o'clock. The light batteries must also precede the march of the in fantry from Shalford by at least one hour. Phillip's-lane. by which the gnus will be takes, is narrow and somewhat steep. red the road leading on to the heath ia, for • quarter of • mile, heavy with sand. At the conclusion of the field-day, should the general in command require the force to march past him, the move ment will commence from the right of the lit division. After passing the general, the lot brigade will at once take toe rued to Guildford, where tbe truism will be ready for tie return journey. The other brigades of this division will follow as fu ea Shalford-oommon. where they will occupy their original ground, but facing the south, and pile arms. These brigades will move on in succession to Guildford, under the direction of a sta ff officer. with as interval of 40 minutes between each brigade. A small field near the station will be appropriated for their accommodation, sad from this field battalions will be drawn in succession to the trains, which will leave every ten minutes. The 2nd division will occupy its original ground on Shah. ford-common, but facing the south. and will be drawn to the trains is sucemion of battalions from the right, under the direction of • staff officer. Volunteers who are not with their corps will not be ad mitted to the volunteer trains until all corps that are in military fortustion have left, and they will then be charged full fare for the return journey. At the conclusion of the field.day arms are to he sin mined, and surplus ammunition collected from the pooches, in accordance with article IUO of the volunteer regulations. An officer of competent rank is to remain in command of every corps, and each company must be in cha rge of a n officer. Volunteer officers ie command of brigades are re quested to wear &crimson silk scarf or sash over the left shoulder to distinguish their rank. Upon the order being given for the force to march past the general. one baud from each brigade is to be sent to the *eluting point, where they will be arranged in consecutive order by a staff officer for the purpose of playing while their respective brigades pass. The remaining bands will march at the head of their own battalions without playing. As it is intended that the force shall be divided into attacking and defending divisions, of nearly equal strength, in order to prevent accidents all officers and non-commis cloned officers most lot allow opposing parties to approach within 10U yards of one another.

The following is the official report of Mr. Raffles, of Liverpool. who was deputed by the Board of Trade to in quire into the circumstances attending the aliendomeat of the ship John Liao TO TIM RIGHT UOROCIRABLE TILL LORDS OP TILL COY• MITTLE OF PRIVT COUNCIL TOR TRADE. My Lords,—ln pertinence of your directions, I have held an official investigation into the eirciusatanse alluding I the shandooment of the ship John i Lion of Liverpool, which occurred on the evening of the Let January W ai f; about lat. 20.30 N., sod long. 37.57 W. lo this oqwity I have been assisted by Captains Harris and Cow, as maniacal ' assessors, and now beg to report .—That the John Lion was built at St. John, !sew Brunswick, is the year 1834, and I registered at Liverpool is the year 1858, of the berths of 1,J96 10.100 tons. Her length was 205 feet, her breadth 39 8-10, and the depth of her hold from the tonnage deck was 22 feet 4-10. Her osigisal tonnage aps to have bees 1 1,171 97-100 tons, but having been so meetly raised l upon, her gross tonnage became 1,596 10-1 as stated in her register. The John Line was owned by Mr. David Feriae, merchant of Liverpool, and was commanded by 34. I Thomas Browning, who holds • certificate of competency as master dated the 4th of June, 1860. She had • crew of 30 hands, all told, at the time of her abandonment. The I John Linn left Liverpool, on the outward voyage, in De cember, 1862 , booed to Bombay, sod arrived there on the lot of May, 1863. While at Bombay she was thoroughly caulked from the copper upwards to the gunwale, and &is not appear to have made any water ss she t ook. in her cargo. Having completed her loading, which was of great ulna, counting of seeds. spices, dyes, and 'cotton, which was insured in Liverpool alone a t 190,000 i., she galled from Bombay. staunch and in good condition, ea the 16th of Sep tember last. droving V, feet 5 babes aft, and 20 feet 8 inches forward. During her passage home the ship en countered come heavy weather off the Cape of Good Hope, Undoes not appear to have strained or to have made any water. On the , tti of December, being then in 1.35 N, aad 29.39 W., a leak was discovered, which continued to increase till the evening of the Ist of January, when the ship wee abandoned. During thee* 24 days every effort was made to contend against the leak, but to no purpose, and the captain appear" to have altered his coarse gut foe the West Indies, subsequently for the Cape de Verd Islands, the the nearest land, on both of which occasions he was baffled by head winds. From Dec. 30 to Jan. 2 very bad weather pre vailed, • gale blowing from the &S. W., which, however unusual in that latitude, was singularly confirmed by a re ference to the log of the Deogaum, the vessel which fell in with the John Linn after her abandonment. On the 31st of December all the pumps got hopelessly choked with seed, and they commenced to throw cargo overboard, making • well in the afterhold for the purpose of baling, which was continued till the Felix Bernabo wee sighted. The crew were by this time quite exhausted, the weather continued very tbreateniog, eight was coming on, and the master of the John Lion finding the water within 4 feet or 4i feet of her lower bold beams, em braced the offer of the master of the Felix Ber nabo, to hike himself and crew on board, and they left their vessel, and were carried into Martinique. It may here be added, that the captain of the Felix Bensalem, in a letter add to the Commissary of Marisa at Martinique, asserted th John Linn appeared to him to be somas ageable an In • sinking state wltu he took her master and crew no board. Within twenty-four hours of the abandon ment, the Deogaum, commanded by Captain Beaglebole, bound front GJLo to Antwerp, fell is with the derelict, bat no one boarded her till Sunday morning, at seven o'clock. The chief mate then west on board in the first boat, and be hailed the Durum, reporting the John Linn to be half full of water, which he estimated at eleven feet. Imme diately afterwards, Captain Beaglebole and his second mate went on board, and, studios cm the cargo is the lower bold, sounded with a capstan bar, sad found, as be stated, throe feet six inches of water. As the cargo consisted of nine tiers of bsgsbelow the cotton, and only three had beet removed, it is obvious that be could not have reached the skis of the ship by many feet. In fact, the second mate admitted that when he wooded be struck upon something which he took to be a beg. No other soundings were taken, and no attempt was made to eland the well, although • seven feet sounding. cad was lying on the deck beside the pump. The Dupont remained by the ship till 2p.m. oa Tuesday, the 6th, daring which time they made no attempt to sail her, but occupied themselves in removing the ship's sails, stores, and furniture. Upon leaving her the chief mate, believing that there was no chance of saving the vessel. upon his sole respon sibility set her on fire—an act which, under the citcum stances, was not justifiable, and certainly not without con sulting his master. The Deogaum sailed slowly away, sod the last that was seen of the bruiting vessel was about 11 p.m., her mainmast haring previously fallen over the side. After hearing the evidence of Captain Beagle hole and such of his officers and crew as were mlled, I I was clearly of opinion that the evidence failed to substan tiate the serious charge which bad been made against the ! master and crew of the John Linn, the gist of wbieb was, , that the ship bad been abandoned with 3 feet 6 inches of water only in her hold. whereas It was obvious that in a ship of her sin they never touched the bottom is sounding. Oa the other hand, the evidence of the chief officer and others of the crew of the John Linn, confirmed as it was by the °gamin/Moo of • carefully kept logbook, satisfied me that the master and his crew used every exec. lion to get his skip home, or into a poet of safety, aad only abandoned her in extremity, and when he considered it neosesary to save life, and after 24 days of unremitting exertion. Under these eirourasteacies, I have had great pleasure in returning to Captain Browning his certificate.— have, he., J. & Karnali, Pollee Iligistrale. Liverpool, March 13, 1!64.

Middlabad nal [TWOPENCE RAILWAYS. EASTER HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS. The Railway Companies apply themselves at the period of Easter to afford opportunities for excur sionists. The arrangements for the present year are made by most of the metropolitan companies on an extensive scale, and in a liberal spirit as regards fares. The general rule appears to be to afford the public the opportunity of travelling with return tickets any day between the 24th and the 29th in clusive, thus covering all the days which are ordina rily included in the Easter holidays. But besides this extension of time for return tickets there are other special arrangements for the benefit of the public. The London and North Western Railway, for example, avails itself of Mr. Marcus's aasistanoe to advertise excursion trains to the north, to the mid land districts, and to the coast of North Wales, at fares varying from is. Gd. to 21s. These are very low rates indeed for such very long journeys, the fare in some cases not amounting to one-third of a penny per mile. The Great Western, in a spirit of almost equal liberality, advertises excursion trains, on different days from Thursday to Easter Monday, I on its various lines and b ranc h es , t o Pl ymout h, Liverpool, Weymouth, Cheltenham ' Bristol, Devizes, and Wolverh am pt on . The fares vary from to 395., the formai toting the fare to I Henley or Reading and back, in a covered carriage, the latter the fare to Plymouth and back, first class. The fare to Plymouth, and other places below Exeter, might, we think, be lower ; but the Great Western, probably, is trammelled in its ar rangements as to these distant places by having to deal with other companies. The Great Northern advertises trains to Sheffield, Huddersfield, Manchester, and Liverpool, at 21s. 12s. did., and 10s. Gd., for the double journey • an d the arrangements of the Midland are equally if not even still more liberal, for they offer to mrry passengers to almost any of the points they touch in Yorkshire and Lancashire for similar fares. The Midland also has trains to Buxton. Derby, Nottingham, and other widLud towns, at 14s. and 18s. for the double journey. In most of these cases the rates are leas than the ordinary fare for a single journey. On the south side of the Thames, the Brighton gives an excursion train on Easter Sunday, and also extends the time for the set= tickets. The South Western takes passengers at tingle fares to any station below Woking, with liberty to return up at any period up to the 29th. It also has an excursion train to Portsmouth and other places on Good Friday, at 9s. &L, Os. 6d., and 4s. Gd., ac cording to class. These arrangements are less advan tageous, however, than those of the South Eastern or London, Chatham, and Dover Companies. These companies propose to carry passengers to and from Canterbury, Margate, Rarusgate, Deal, or Dover, for ss. Gd. and 3s. Gd.; and the London Chatham, and Dover makes fares for excursions to Faversham, Whitstable. and Herne Bay, at 4s. 6d. and 2s. Gd. for the double journey. These rates are less than those for which the Thames steam boats were accustomed to carry even in the height of their rivalry on the river. They illustrate the value of the principle of competition ; especially when we bear in mind that not very Mug ago Dover was inaccessible under 20s. The classes for whom these excursion trains to more distant parts are principally available are those who can obtain release from the shop or counting-house during the days which are ordina rily regarded as Easter holidays. To this class the facility these cheap trains afford of visiting their families and friends, and the scenes perhaps of earlier years, in distant parts of England, is ex tamely valuable. The cheap excursion train, in fact, affords to the individual what the penny postage afforded to the correspondent—a weans of maintaining domestic ties and home interests, which cannot but promote the social happiness of the community. The shorts; excursion trains—those for the day only—are largely used by thou, in different employ ments who can only obtain their " day out," and to whom both tune and money are objects of paramount consideration. For these the trains on the South Eastern, and London, Chatham, and Dover Railways, seem calculated to afford great facilities ; especially u those trains will run from all the metropolitan stations of the two companies, including, we are glad to say, Charing•cross and Black friars, as well as London-bridge, the Elephant and Castle, Brixton, Herne-bill, Battersea and Victoria. For the class of population at the East-end of London, the Great Eastern proposes excursions, by frequent trains, to Epping Form; at a single fare for the double journey. The Tilbury line has also some extra arrangements for traffic to Graves end and Southend ; but amongst the managers of this railway there seems to be an idea (we fear an erroneous one) that their ordinary scale of fares is sufficiently low to be exceptionally attractive. If, indeed, fault is to be found with these excursion arrangements, it is that the shorter journeys out of and around the metropolis are not sufficiently provided for. Long jour neys at low rates of mileage seem to be the order of the day ; the object probably being to obtain from the excursionist, in the shape of fare for his journey, the largest share of the whole sum which he can afford to spend on his excursion. It is a fair question, however, whether a class of excursion traffic might not be developed which hes not yet been reached. If 3a. 61 will pay for carry iug passengers to and from Dover or Ramsgate (nearly 80 mills from Loudon, or say 160 miles in all), a Is., or even a 6d. fare there and back, ought to suffice for such places as Richmond, Windsor, Virginia Water, Ascot Heath, Epsom, Seven Oaks, The Crays, and a number of pleasart places within 20 miles of London. The Great Eastern takes its passengers out of London to Epping Forest, a dis tanoe of 12 tales, and back, at a single fare ; but the South Western, by limiting its single fare ar rangements to " stations below Woking," practically precludes the sliort e xcursionist from taking advantage of his holiday on that line. It was given in evidence the other day that since the Metropolitan Railway was opened, a new class of traffic had been developed, in the shape of passengers at 2d. and 3d., who, it was supposed, never saw the inside of a railway carriage pre viously. We think this very probable, and if so, it may be fairly assumed that a very cheap rate foe excursion tickets to open country places at mode rate distances from London, would be largely taken advantage of by numbers who cannot attord even the 2s. 6d. Woof the London, Chatham, and Dover Company to Herne Bay, or perhaps the time awl extra expenditure involved in the journey to so great a distance from their homes. We ought not to omit to mention that the South Eastern Company is engaged in making very elabo rate arrangements for the traffic to the some of the Volunteer review on Easter Monday. A little map has been published and widely circulated by the company, showing the position of Farley Heath and of the stations on the South Eastern line im mediately adjacent to it. It appears from this map that the Chilworth station on the Reading, Reigate, and Guildford branch of the South Eastern Railway is the only station from which the pedestrian can reach the scene of action ; and it is only to be hoped that the accommodation at this small country station will be sufficient for the multitude which will, no doubt, be carried there. The South Eastern proposes to despatch extra trains on this occasion from the Charing-cross Station as their departure may be required. The difficulty, of course, will be in working all these trains home again, within the limited period the public are inclined to wait with patience for the despatch of trains. aka the business of the day is over. AU the resources of the line will be needed for such an ocossion.
