Re view were completed on Saturday, under the directre of Colonel Erakies, Inspector-Genera l of Volunteers, so far as the military department is (immersed. and by Lira... Colonel G. Hawkins, duffle manager, and Mr. Turner, of the same department of the London end Brightea Railway, with re spect to the transit of the volunteers and the general public to and from Brighton on the amnia, of the Fith sod oo the enrolee of that day after the review. The local arrow meats of the Brighton corporation for prose •• tad loser log clear the line of routs of the volunteers through the town have been entrusted to Mr. G. E. White, high con stable of the Brighton borough polio', under the mysteries of Mr. Brigden, the mayor, sad a committee of admire sod members of the corporation. The chief command will devolve on Major•Gmeral Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.B. The iofentry will consist of two divisions, one to be under Major-General Russell, C. 8., from Shorncliffs, and It is expected the other under Brigadier-Grand Ellioe, from Aldershott. The infantry brigades will be nine I. number, viz., let, under command, as brigadier, of Viscount Rene lagh 2nd, Lord Eloho ; 3rd, Earl i'Gromenor ; 4th, Lord EAdationk • fdh,_Bargida Domed ; 6th, Lieut.-Colonel G. E. Thoroid;Tth, Lieut.-Word T. E Biggs ; Bth, Lieut.- Coleco! Viscount Bury 9th. Lieut.. Colonel C. Dunsmore. The artillery will consist of four brigades, uoder the com mand of Gamma Ormsby, 8.A., sod comprise so Ws than 4$ guns—the largest display of artillery ever made at any previous volunteer renew. These guns consist of eight &pounders, fourteen 9-pounders, twenty-two 18-pounden, and four 24-posoders. Now that the returns are, it is believed, folly completed, the total number of volunteers who have received permission to attend the review reach a total of over 22,000 of all ranks, which exceed theme of any previous year. It is understood that the brigades have been &arid pearly is the order in which they will arrive in Brightest, tamely, the Ist division of the let Brigade, on annul at Brightoo, taking up its position on the extreme north of the level ; the other brigades as they anne heist formed in regular order southward, throughout the gene ral link of enclosures which reach from the level to the Steyoe. There is some doubt, however, where the brigades will be formed, but Mr. Wyld's plan • with the In. formation derived from the Brighton I authorities. By this arrangement it appears there will be some alight de elation is the line of route. The various corps will re 'tremble in the enclosure, extending from the level to the Stays., and when the signal gun for marching is bred, the whole farce will move off by toms right in front, marching from the north level no the wen side of the en closures ; and instead of the left of the Pavilion, through the palace grounds, Castle-square, and west side of the Old Steppe, up the Mariairmrade, to Bedford street, up Bedford-street to the east aide the Queen's-park at the south end of the racecourse, when the brigades are to be formed previous to marching past the Grand Stand. Alter passing alms the racecourse, which forms part of the western ridge of the White Hawk Valley. and immediately facing the White Hawk Down, the defending form, which it is believed will be the first division, will continue it. march directly northward over the doges by the windmill and western side of Lower Beveodean ; whilst the wood division, attacking force, oar reaching the northern end of the racecourse at a point near the windmill, will wheel to the right, and talcs up their position oil the ridge forming those ponies' of the downs known as Upper Bevendean. So soon as these muitions shall have been attained by the troops the public will be permitted to pass along the race course to the still higher ridge running from the northern eod of the White Hawk Down, sod forming the end of the Sheepcote Valley. where the ride butte are situate. The whole of the upper ridge between tipper 13eveodeen and the Wanes Farm, and extending to New Market-bill, is also to be appropriated to spectators. It will be well, however, to warn the public that if they really wish to see the review they will better result their own gratification by re roaming in the positions reigned to them than by pretties in upon the volunteer'. With respect to the let Middlesex Artillery, a novel feature in con nection with the review is contemplated. The light ci s i tay dstachments of this corps, with the 9-pounder tai baggage waggons, will leave Wellington Bar racks for Driglitoe on Thursday next, at three pm.. under the command of Major H. F. Smith and Captain .1. B. Monkton. Captain Adams (Adjutant) and Lieutenants Kahle and Whichcord will also accompany the mach. Croydon will be reached between six and seven in the same evening. Crawly ab.,ut the game time, on Friday, as the start from Croydon will not take place till after Divine ser vice, and it is expected the battery will march intoßrightan about four p.m. cie Saturday afternoon. Should the pre sent firs weather continue, the Easter Monday Volunteer Review of 1865 may be looked forward to as the most brilliant and interesting that has yet taken plate.— ()Limner. THE DEATH OF A PAUPER IN ST. GILES'S. The inquiry relative to the death of Richard Gibson, in the workhouse of St. Giles, wee resented by Mr. Fantail at the board-room of the vestry on Friday. The examination of Felix M•Gee, • pauper inmate, wee con tinued. He stated that the nunes ocessioally got tipsy, but be had never complained of it to the governor, on account of the great power possessed by the heed none. Mn.s Eleom, paid nurse of the infirmaries, was called, and deposed that she is :he bead and only paid nurse in the infirmary. She has held her place for twenty-five years, and has 201. a year and rations. There are seven wards, of which she baa the whole can ; • pauper nurse and a pauper helper acting in each ward seder her direction& The doctor "gave his orders," and she "carried them in her head," She, in her turn, left the pauper numb to themselves, and what sort of care the patients got between them is painfully evident. These are her admiwrioes with regard to Gibson :—" She recollected Gibson coming into the infirmary, and had visited him with the doctor. She had beard the doctor order dressings to the son leg of the patient ; but she had never seen the order earned out. She was not aware that Gibsoe's bed wu not made for dye nights and days. She never sew that Gibson's hair and beard were matted ; but the corner where he lay wee very dark, so she never noticed whether or not his person was filthy. It was the duty of the pauper nurse. to change the bed and body linen, and deceased might have worn • shirt for a fortnight without witness knowing it. Lastly, she allowed that she saw vermin on the deceased the Monday before be died." The uniform absence of any supervision of the pauper nurses, and their uniformly grew misconduct, are estab lished by the name evidence. She did not know," it seemed, anything about theta, whether they sold their miserable can to patients who could give them odd pence and halfwits°, with which to get drunk, or whether they bought or exchanged the intimate food. "Some of thim did get tipsy when they went out ;" "they did get something to drink in the wards ;" and what they got is very plain. " They had the distribution of the hear, and she could not say how much of it was distributed among the nurses and bow mush among the patients." The wader is, Mr. Fantail said, that they were ever sober. The patients bad three meals • day, at 8 o'clock, 12 o'clock, sad 4 o'clock but from 4 o'clock in the afternoon of one day to 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, or foe dense boars, they bad nothing . to eat Gibson's ward was underground, sad was called, in • sort of mockery, " • convaleviceet ward." "It bad been closed," said the medical °Meer, "several years since, because it as ill-lighted and ill-ventilated, aad was re-opened about a year and • half sines, en the re eurrence of epidentie dneases." In the winter there wore 42 cases of typhise in the hones at one time. Three nuns, died ; the matron was near death ; the head doctor hae only lately recovered ; se assistant nurse has also died, and two days after Gibsee'sdeeth the second doctor wee abed with Wade..

ORO. :RSIVI BOAT RACE. -8- The start on Saturday was & splendid sight,. and the manner in which Cambridge went o ff positively ' astonished the spestators. Never before was an eight-oared boat driven through the water at such a rate, never did eight pairs of human arms develop such muscular power. We thought it could not last beyond a half doeen strokes or so, tali it was actually kept up without the slightest bate ment to Hammersmith-bridge, at which point Cambridge was several lengths ahead. The wildest confusion and excitement now took place amongst the betters on board the steamboats. Those who had basked Oxford ran about everywhere endea vouring to hedge ; the fewer friends of Cambridge began to crow ; and one of the latter actually started a pigeon express to Cambridge with the news that the race was won. One bet of a hundred to twenty was made, another of seventy to ten, and all doubt as to the result of the race had disap- RaatCambri l ds ce had never been ahead at rs emith-bri before, and no boat that had the lead there ever been beaten. But alas the performance of impossibilities is now the everyday business of our lives. From this point the fortune of the day began to turn ; Oxford gained momentarily on its hitherto triumphant op ponents, and when we next caught a glimpse of the contending boats there relative positions had been reversed. Cambridge had, it would appear, used up its whole strength in gaining Hammersmith bridge, while Oxford had skilfully kept its fames in reserve for the subsequent struggle. Towards the end they increased their distance rapidly, and finally won by as great a distance as on former occasions. When we came up with them we could see that the Cambridge men were quite exhausted, whilst their antagonists looked quite fresh, and as if ready for another race. As usual a great many excellent mesons were given for defeat, and acci dents and incidents were described but for the re currence of which the fortune of the day would have been different ; but the broad fact remains that Oxford has now defeated Cambridge five times in succession, and as it is impossible to suppose that there is any intrinsic difference in the strength, or pluck, or bottom of the men , it is quite time that 80111111 rational means should be adopted to find the blot and hit it. Nobody would tell Cambridge to give up the strife, but rather to find wherein the deficiency lies, and to remedy it. Some say it is the bad river, others the short stroke, and others, again, the inferior training. We incline to think ourselves that the short stroke has something to do with it, and in the home of the mathematics this could easily be accounted for. Next it is urged, admitting the short stroketo be the cause, that it would be im possible to practise any other in the Cam ; end if so the remedy is to go somewhere else for practice. The Oxford men have, during the year, many a "spurt" on the Thames, and are all as well known to the Thames wateemen as if they were free of the river. They came up for the final training a week before their antagonists, in fact, took every human precaution to secure victory. They have secured it, and if the Cantabs do not mean them to keep the belt of the river in perpetuity, they must go and do likewise. The public will hardly crowd to the waterside again to see a race of which they may so safely calculate the result beforehand. The following list of the rases and their results (roan the year 1819 to 1884 will be interesting : Year. , Date. Winner. Place. Won by 1829 June 10.... Oxford Redly 1836 June 17 Csabrldge..

This event, which annually follows the great boat race between the Umiversities, came off on Saturday night at Willis'. ROOM., King-street, St. James's, the Hon. GIORGI Duman, Q,C., M.P., of Cambridge University, and prisident of the club, occupying the chair, faced by Mr. 11. 0. Smith, the hoe. see. of the club, and R. N. Phillips. of Cambridge University, one of the vierepresi dente, while amongst three present were Xmas. Brown, Bailee, Senhouse, Coventry, Henley, Schneider, and Harrison, of the Oxford crew ; Maws. Berth. wick, Pigott, Kinglake, Watney, Beebe*, Lawn, and Btrevensos, of the Cambridge crew ; J. Hawkinaw, at ; J. 0. Chambers, President al C.U.B.C. ; J. W.

Hall, 0.U.8.C. ;C. Schofield, C. U.B.C. ; Rev. F. M. Arnold, President of Kingston Row ing Club ; Walter Bovill, C. Dickens, jun., Rhodes Cobb, J. Draper, C. Walton, sad many others well known in aquatic circles. Mr. NLOBRIBOIc who was received with continued ap plause on rising to speak foe the Oxford crew, said he bUdly knew whether it was kind on the p art of the chairman to say that that was the principal toast of the evening, because that generally required a long reply, but if such was the one, he, however, iatuded to do what was wrong. No doubt it was exceedingly pleasant to stand there as be did and reply gent to the toast as a winning oarsman, but he thought with the chairman that they bad worked hard to win, and deserved praise for their victory ; he could not fail, however, to express his thanks, and that uf all his crew, to then clever Woke, Mr. Brown, to whom entirely their eatery that day wail due, for had he not had the courage to row that slow stroke victory would probably have decided for their adversaries. He had exercised a great amount of self.oontrol and exhibited a great amount of seltoonfidun, sad he (Mr. Harrison) was proud to my that Mr. Brown had been fully justified in the curse he Ind adopted, as the result had shown. Of course he could not expect the Cambridge crew to sympathise with his feelings in this matter, but he should at least enlist their sympathy in the ever-recurring nuisance of the steamboats. It was not the first time in that as nimbly, to which they had been so kindly invited by the Than Subsoriptioa Club, that objection had been taken to the meaner in which the steamboat captains had binned, and this year he thought they had left themselves still more s, : o lie: r. to l i;o f t r deni a la o t r i t on. ik Thirlmlght, pe r haps, bea ;i, cams have beh the post they had so crowded mud them that, cossalthig their own safety, and with the ormesat of Mr. Kinglike en the other aide, they had determined not to start with par Bible drowning before their eyes, end they had returned th their boat yards, when, as it was, they were nerirly driven ashore ; and thee, again, after they had started they bad been aurrousded, and he really must say that the per thew hired those steitinbosts were more to blame thaa captains themselves. Far hie own part he would have bees willing to have gone ashore, and Dever returned to the starting-post at all, or done anything so that the steam bogie might have come to grief ; arid once more he would suggest, if no other means could be adopted, that the ran should be shifted to some spot where they might be safe from interruptiou. No one could regret snob a course more than himself, but something must really be done. He again thanked them for the extreme kindness they had shown him and his mew, and could only hope that he might steed there for years to woe in the same position. Mr. CHAMBIBB. who was received with universal ap plause, said be felt extreme please.. is returning thanks for the Cambridge crew, Ina, at the same time, he could sot but feel a certain amount of diflideoce, having to return thanks for a crew which had lost five years in enoosseion. He could sot account for their loss, and, perhaps, it was due to the aseembly that he should give something like an explanation epee the subject. Is the first place they had to train on a river which was sometimes so ocean of water that it was a complete ditch, and whore very often the water was drawn off, and they had none at all. They bad also another disadvantage in the choice of their men, as they had to pick from men who west up in their fourth year, while their antagonists had them up to their fifth year. True. they poisoned the admirep in suntan., but this was more than counterbalanced by the difficulties arid disadvaatoses ha had before referred to. He could not hat endorse the opinions uttered by Mr. Morrison with regard to the etearaboats, and he unwed them the umpire had hese upwards of threrquartore of ea lima get es the refractory tugs beck, and thee atoll sin seamed without =in the aid of the Thames polies ; sod he really it that, considering the fad that the 'pennon came to see a gestlemees nee, when wahlig whatever wee car eened but the tumour of the nisi thesseilves and the sal- Veralles they represented, they were treated In the most lisiastel muss.

There was • better lot running for the St. Liz Handicap, and undoubtedly the best hone woo, Stookinger having lathing material the . bed of the weights with any cl his opponeuts.

Macdonald is undoubtedly a good horse, as Quu Vivo told his kaiser before he left home, but there were one or two behind him that will some day prove his equal, sad the hinds of Muter Archie and Gladiator must not be disheartened at their failing to obtain places. The weight for age were the most interesting _noes of the meeting ; and the Trial Stakes victory of Wild Charley cave Mr. Merry the call again of Mr. Chapin for both the Two Thoumnd and Derby. Marley'm own chases in the Derby would bean excellent one were he to undergo • preparation far It; but he is said to be so inferior to !Addington at home that his pretensions are altogether ignored by the stable. If this be so, the yellow jacket is formidable indeed, for after Wild Charley beat Ackworth so sully, the latter made a sorry example of the lot that opposed him for.ber Majesty's Guineas, sod thus showed himself to he in capital trim. However, he met • pair, Hippolyta sod Caller On, whom it was no credit to beat, in their condition, and did sot become a better favourite for the Chester Cop alter than he was be fore the meeting.

BETTING AT THE VICTORIA CLUB. SATURDAY, 3 LL --- The counter attraction of the University Boat Race clawed a thin attendance at " the Club" today, and the forenoon was principally devoted to idle speculations on the probable success either of the light or dark blue. When the market assumed anything like tone Liddingtoe's name was intro duced for the Two Thousand, with offer, to lay 7 to 4, which, however, were disregarded, but subsequently 100 to 50 was accepted, that price being offered up to the close of business. Breadalbane was remarkably firm at 7 to 2, taken in one bet to 1001., the backer offering to go on. Twelve " fifties" were taken about Broosnielaw, which price was obtainable at the fioish. At are time 100 to 8 two or three times was booked about Chattanooga, who, how ever, reosded to 13 to 1 taken to 501., and afterwards offered. Bedminster, Zambesi, and Archimedes were in very bad odour, for although 1000 to 40 was accepted one about Sir Joseph Hewley's hone, be bad no friends at the clove, and the other two were in the same plight. The City arid Suburban was noticeable for the steady R os h pition occupied by both the favourites, the mine "pert) backed the pair the parkins day offering to repeat the operation at the erne odds-44 to 1. Betting on the Cheater Cap would have taken a wide range had barkers been as willing ea layers, one at the latter with the handicap in his band being ready to lay against the lot ad seriatim. Be failed, however, to draw out any of the bystanders until he came to the Mcestissima filly, about whom he was reedy to lay or moot the odds to any amount, and after betting 1.000 to 80—giving the taker a sovereign—he recouped him self by taking fifteen fifties, with a request that the layer should double the amount.

The Oanadkus orders for the mem have been mode rate &few more hive beessivenout in the coarse of the week. The demand for material is still moderate, bet perhaps upon the whole better than it was two or three weeks ego, which ie misty attributable to the fact of consumers' stooks having become unusually low. The hollow-ware trade ie pretty good ; the edge-tool makers are most of them fay en gaged, and the order. in hand for light eteid toy golds are up to t he average. In moat other branches the prevailing slackness is experienced; the @lntro-platers, jewellers, and button makers, all of them, report to that effect.

The fourth of the Saturday morning perform• guess given in connexion with the Monday Popular Con. sere, of which, indeed, they form a set crate series, took place at St. James's-hall on Saturday last. These morning performaaose resemble the regular concerts on Monday and are equally eaccessful in drawing large sod lallakild audiences. The only difference is that the morning performances are shorter than the evening ones, so that, beginning at three o'clock, they are over by Sr.. On Saturday lest the programme contained Mozart's stringed-instrumeot quartet in C, No. 6 ; Gnmek's sonata, "The Invocation," for the pianoforte solo ; Beethoveu's "Krentzer Sonata," for the piano and violin ; and two vocal pieces. The quartet players were Messrs. Joachim, Rise, Webb, and Pages ; Dummies sonata was performed by Madame Arabella Goddard, who also played the Knout= feasts, accompanied by Herr Joachim. The vocalist was Mr. Cummings, who sass the sersuade, "In Youth's Sessoc," from Gonead's Mock Doctor, and Schubert's song, "Through the Night." All the three listrumestal pieces so, well known to the habitues of the Monday Popular Concerts. Mozart's quartet is 'liberally esteemed the meat exquisite of ell his works of its class; nevertheless it was severely criticised by the musical purists of the day, and, Weed, contains an introductory passage is which some of the most imperative rules of harmony an set at utter de lance. People who dare venture to speak out confess them selves unable to relish its harshness ; sad as it is totally unlike anything eke that Mozart has written, it may be supposed that he threw it oat in a moment of caprice, by way of a challenge to the critics ; or perhaps he by its crudity to,heightee, by contrast, thedeliciona richness and mellowness of all the rest of the quartet. Arabella Goddard has mad* Duseek's "Invocation" household word at the Monday Popular emceed& Kemp I time she repeats it she does so with greater and greater effect; for its beauties do not lie upon the mhos, and aver► time it is heard it discloses fresh charms. Written above half a century ago, when the powers of the pianoforte are supposed to have bees undeveloped, ibi s sonata may be placed upon a footing with the most masterly works of Beetdoves. The femme " Krourser Sonata" is worthy of its fame, but its difficulty is as great as ita stool twee, and it is only when performed ►y a Goddard and • Jrierldra that its marvellous botulism are displayed is all their lustre. Takes altogether, this Saturday morning per isrssanos may be regarded as one of the very kart at the Monday Popular Coocerto. 11 0 : 1 s 0 I• 14 116451 Digu DOVJ Ism* al 1 by 00 1, IN eV' MOM ; in ICU se,A RAN tag =it / " 11 No ail W.
