ROYAL VOLUNTEER RE Saturday the 23d of June, of this stormy and threatening 1860, will henceforth be a memorable and remembered date in the military annals of the nation. The reddest of red letters cannot give it more than due prominence in the calendar of na tional events; it is tle day that saw the culminat ing point of the revival of the military spirit of the British people. Something—an impulse, an influ• ence, an instinct, perhaps—it is difficult, exactly to define it—has passed over the land, entering into the heart and life of our manhood. In a few short months of preiaration the soil of this commercial and industrious England echoes the tread of legions of soldiers, and . the rarely accorded gleams of this summer's sun have glanced back from thousands of bayonets. Hosts of men trained to occupations of peace, to whom war and military life a year ago appeared so foreign that a conviction of a national unfitness for them had gone abroad in the world, have turned from the beaten paths of their ordi nary pursuits; and—almost as by the wave of an enchanter's wand—appear ranked side by side with the " men of war from their youth," and in no essential quality inferior to them. How, or when the dragon's teeth were sown, we will not here inquire ; but very certainly and visibly have they sprung, up armed men. Be the cause or consequence what it may, there they are, a force which no other nation in the world could have raised by a volun tary and popular movement. If we consider this great change in the direction of the national mind, even apart from the wonder ful and spirit-stirring display of Saturday, which no one could have witnessed without a brightening eye and a beating heart, it is one of the most extraordi nary events of our history. A man need not have reached, by many years, that dubious period of life, middle age, to remember the tone of feeling as to " war and the great in war" that prevailed down to a very recent time. The battles of the giants ceased with the exhaustion and ruin of the most formidable wielder of the thunderbolts ; and during the life of our own military chief, who so long sur vived his conflicts, "the land had peace 40 years." That condition of things, we thought, could never be broken ; our army being virtually invisible, was all but forgotten, or chiefly remembered by the an nual cutting down of the estimates, the heads of which were hateful to the economists of the House of Commons as the heads of Hydra. The House is now rebuked by Secretaries of War for its extrava gance; but it was not so 20 years since. The links that connected the citizen with the army had dis solved in the tepid atmosphere of peace, Or yielded to what it was the fashion to call its " humanising influences." A militia had only a possible legal ex- istence ; volunteers there were none, and the yeo manry had become a mere annual apparition in the rural districts, of the burlesque kind in mount and accoutrements, and its most evident result was occa- sionally to put country gentlemen into , amazing uni forms. Practically, the army and the nation in those years of peace, were divided by the deepest gulf and highest wall of partition; the nation went one way to its farms and its merchandise, tho army another, to Indian and Caffre wars, which were rather expen- sive than exciting; they came near our purse at times; but never touched our heart. The army fell under the exclusive control of a cluster of autho- rities and departments, and as years rolled on our military system got deeper into the rut of use and wont—all that, when the time of awakening came, we had to denounce as routine. Things military became at last such mysteries that it was profane for civilians to touch, or even speak of them, and it saved trouble to accept the proclaimed opinion, that we are not a*military people. The facts of our history completely contradicted the theory, but it was only. "so much the worse for the facts." We had profgressed, and got beyond all that; " Com- coerce, cotton, and universal brotherhood " was the motto of the future. The Peace Society, with appalling statistics, laboured to prove, what no real soldier ever doubted, that war is as evil. But we all, more or less, forgot there was another side to the question. Except by a warning voice here and there, an occasional trumpet note amid the general piping, the nation was encouraged to forget the possibility of having again to put on its armour, and " hold fast the mortal sword." But deep down in its heart, under all the account-books and cotton bales, there was a misgiving that sterner times might come. Some even doubted whether peace, if it brings a worship of wealth as the supreme good, is an unqualified blessing. Wordsworth lamented the tendency of the age to change swords ......._ for ledgers, and feared for the nation if the tendency should increase ; he reminded his contemporaries that the old warriors who made our history were neither fools nor ruffians, as they . wae beginning to be thought when war had rolled so far from our gates that we believed it impossible it should ever return. The poet would have rejoiced to see the thousands who have now shut the ledger and grasped the sword ; which, he may be certain, is in no degenerate hands. During the morning of Saturday the various corps from the country which intended to take part in the review arrived in London either by railroad or steamer, and were welcomed by large crowds who had assembled to witness their arrival. The Woolwich local force of Artillery and Rifles, consisting of about 1,800 men, was conveyed to Lon don in three steamers. They arrived at Westmin ster-bridge about 12 o'clock, and marched through Birdcage-walk and up Constitution-hill to Hyde park. The first corps which arrived at the King's cross station was the 2d Durham Artillery (Mar chioness of Londonderry's), and it was followed during the morning by the let, 4th, and sth Nor thampton Rifle Corps, the Ist and sth Derby, and the 7th Stafford (Burton -upon-Trent), the 14th Worcester, and the 20th Cheshire. There also came to the same station the 3d, 6th, and 25th Lancashire, all from Manchester, and numbering together about 1,600 men, and the Ist Nottingham (Robin Hood Rifles), nearly 600 strong. The following corps were in the course of the forenoon brought to the Paddington station :—The Ist Glocester, the 3d and 6th ditto, the Ist, 2d, and 17th Somerset (Bith), the Ist and 2d Warwick, the Ist, 3d, 4th, bth, and 6th Berkshire, and the 2d Oxford ;:the Ist Hertford (Hertford), 2d ditto (Watford), and the 3d ditto (St. Alban's), were also among the arrivals. Nearly all these corps had bands with them, and upon reaching the platforms of the several stations they were formed into line, and afterwards marched off to their respective rendezvous. About noon the several corps in the metropolis began to muster at their head-quarters or parade grounds, where they were inspected by their com manding officers, and formed into columns for the march to the Park. The gatherings were regarded withmuch interest by the public, and the assemblies of the principal corps were attended by considerable crowds, who in many cases loudly expressed their admiration City the r of ti oiaon London of t do n he Volunteers. mustered at appearance firsttthe e battalion G ui ld h a a n ol a lf, bw thee whence e ring nlest e they marched to Christ's Hospital, and joined the second battalion which had assembled there. The two battalions united under the command of Lieut- Colonel Hicks, and marched through Snow-hill, Parringdon-street, Fleet-street, and the Strand to Hyde Park. The 2d City of London mustered in Gray's-inn. The Inns of Court Corps, familiarly known under its old title of the "Devil's Own," g b a y r d t e h n e s , B w e a h e e h r e e r a s a e dd beenin t the provided Inner de d b h l a lu ss n e e m hfor Te ni themple of the Middle Temple: The Hon. Artillery Com pany assembled at the head-quarters at the Artil lery-ground, Finsbury, with two guns belonging to the company, and mounted Artillerymen. After being inspected by the officer commanding-in-chief they marched from the Artillery-ground by way of Moorgate-street, Cheapside, and the Strand. The Queen's Westminster Rifles mustered twelve com panics strong in Carlton•terrace, the Scottish in Adelphi-terrace, the Irish at Burlington-house, and the Civil Service Corps in the quadrangle of Somer set-house, where they were joined by the corps formed of the students at King's College. The scene along the various lines of march to wards Hyde Park was most interesting. Omni buses from all parts of the town, heavily laden both outside and in, carriages, cabs, and other vehicles, besides great crowds of pedestrians, were all making their way in one direction, and to wards one point; while with them and through them, now passing easily and without let or hindrance, and anon almost stopped by the throng of carriages and pedestrians marched thelong black, green, gray, or blue lines of the Volunteers. In some of the principle thoioughfares sags had been hung out, and almost all the windows were filled with ladies and children. Perhaps the march. through the Strand and the streets communicating with it was the most imposing, because tin several corps which had to reach the park by that line had arranged to meet at • certa times and at fixed places on the route, so as lo form a continuous column, and so great was the sympathy displayed by the public that no interruptions were experi enced, except such as . arose naturally from the great number of vehicles which were about and the generally crowded state of the streets. The Hon. Artillery Company started from Finsbury at 1 o'clock, marched through the city and up Fleet street, and joined the Ist awl, 2d battalions of the City of London Rifles, the 4th, sth, 6th, 7th, 39th, and 40th Middlesex f the 2d City of London, which started from Gray's-inn, with another division from Finsbury-square; the 2d and 3d Tower Hamlets, the 33d Middlf.sex: (Tottenham), the - Ist Essex (Romford),the 2d Essex (Cranbrooke), 3d Essex (Brentwood), 4th Essex (Chelmsford), and the 7th Essex (Rochford). Thcse (2,800) at Somerset-house took up Lord Bury's 21st Middlesex (the Civil Ser- vice Regiment). Passing the opening ;eon). Water loo-bridge, this long line joined to itself another column, consisting of 909 men ; three Surrey regi thents—the sth (Reigate), the 14th (Dorking), the 16th (Egham) ; five Kentish regiments—the sth (Canterbury), the 9th (Chatham), the 19th (Roches ter), the 26th (Maidstone), end the 31st (Leeds Castle); the five regiments of the Cinque Ports —the Ist (Hastings), the 2d (Ramsgate), the 3d (Rye), the 4th (llythe), the sth (Margate), with two from Sussex—the Ist (Brighton) and the 7th (Horsham). At the Adelphi the Scottish (19th Middlesex) and the Working Man's College Corps fell in, and thus, with 4,500 men Charing-cross was reached. Here the Ist Kent (Gravesend), the sth Kent (Blackheath), the 9th Kent (Plumstead), the 10th Kent (Royal Arsenal, Woolwich), starting from Westminster•bridge at half-past 1, joined the column, to which also, by this time, had been united three additional Essex Regiments, the sth (Plaistow), the Bth (Stratford), and the 9th (Silvertowa), coming from Fenchurch- street. On entering the Mall, St. James's Park, on the way to Constitutioa-hill, 14 Kentish corps starting from the back of the Poor Law Board added 1,560 to the thickly-gathering masses of grey and green coated riflemen—viz., the 3d (Lee), the 4th (Woolwich), the 7th (Kidbrooke), the 9th :Chatham), the 13th (Greenwich), the 18th (Brom- ley), the 21st (Lewisham), the 25th (Blackheath), the 27th and 34th (Deptford), the 28th (Charlton), the 32d (Eltham), and the two battalions of the 26th, froth the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. At Carl ton-terrace, Lord Grosvenor's regiment, the West- minster (Queen's) fell into the column. At Bucking ham Palace six Surrey regiments from St. George's Barracks, the 2d (Croydon), the 4th (Brixton), the 6th (Esher), the Bth (Epsom), the 9th (Richmond), and the 11th ( Wimbledon), added their forces, the concluding aggregation accruing at the top of Picca dilly, from Colonel the lion. C. Limlbay's 3d batta lion, consisting of the 11th, 12th, and 13th Middle. sex, and Captain the Earl Spencer's 4th battalion, which included the London Irish. A somewhat similar march took place on the north side of the town, regiments from St. Pencras and Paddington uniting into column, aud.procceding together to the Marble Arch and the Bayswater Gate. _ _ T cs , 3 or three hours before the time fixed for the arrival of even the first of the Volunteers the crowd began to collect in Hyde Park, and to surround the large space which had been set apart for the evolu- tions of the troops, and which was occupied by de tachments from each of the regiments of Guards, a regiment of Life Guards, and the 10th Hussars. This space extended from the line of the statue of Achilles to another line drawn northward, but in clining somewhat to the west, from the eastern end of the Serpentine, and on the north and south reached nearly to the carriage drive. At first the people were scattered only thinly round this area, but as the morning wore on the crowd thickened and closed up, until they were standing in one con tinuous circle varying from five to nine or ten persons deep. Behind them were ranged rows of benches, chairs, in some cases small tables, and an infinite variety of those wonderful structures which their enterprising proprietors describe as " good strong stands," but the strength of which is too often un equal to the tests to which it is subjected. The let ting of these " bad eminences" must on Saturday have proved a most lucrative business ; the sum generally demanded for their occupation was half a-crown, and any offer below 2s. was treated with the most supreme contempt. Among and behind these rows of stands was a second crowd, consisting of persons who, unable or unwilling to bear the crowding and squeezing of the front ranks, were en deavouring to obtain at least a glimpse of what was going on by peeping over the shoulders or between the heads of those who were before them. Behind them again were other groups, who had wisely abandoned all hope of witnessing the proceedings of the day, and were sauntering quietly about watch ing the occupations and amusements of their neigh bours. The carriage-drive, both by the shore of the Serpentine and to the south of Rotten-row, was covered with carriages, and along that portion which runs by the side of the Bayswater-road, and which more closely approached the space occupied by the troops the horses had been removed from the vehicles, and a long line of carriages were standing packed closely together, as they stand by the side of Epsom Racecourse on a Derby•day. Most of these carriages were occupied by gaily-dressed ladies and children; and upon the road there were to be seen many parties of equestrians, both ladies and gentlemen. The walk under the trees on the north side of the drive was also covered with groups who had as sembled here to watch the Volunteer corps march into the park. The ground in the immediate vicinity of the south and west of the space occu pied by the troops presented an animated appear ance, and many of the amusements of a country fair or a racecourse. " Knock-'em -downs" and " Aunt Sallies" were in great force, and you could not walk far without being repeatedly invited to ring the bull, or to try the strength of your arms or the force of your lungs. There were numerous vendors o f "rifle nuts" and " volunteer gingerbread," and in order that those who ate might drink also, the dealers in these comestibles were closely followed by men who, from cans of every variety of form, colour, and degree of cleanliness, dispensed, accord ing to the means or wishes of the purchasers, spring water from the pump in Hanover-square, sherbet, or porter. The last-named liquor was in great demand , and many casks of it h a d b een broached and emptied in different parts of the ground long before the review commenced. The trees all round the enclosure, and some also within it were early taken possession of by the more active and enterprising of the spectators, and for once those who had obtained seats among the branches were allowed to retain them undisturbed. The police were too much engaged in assisting the military to keep the crowd out of the enclosure to have either time or attention to devote to the protection of the trees. The . windows, balconies and in many cases the roofs of sit s houses in Park lane, and in th e K n i g ht s b r id g e and Bayswater road were crowd e d w ith s p ec t a t or s, most of them 1.. ladies. In som e cases s t ages had been. erected upon the roofs, and covere d w i t h scarlet erected upon the roofs, and covered with scarlet 'loth, which, the ladies' dresses, and th e more som b re hues of t h e gentle loth contrasting with th e li g ht er co l ours O f men's habiliments, produced a very stt, e k i ng and agreeable e ff ec t. Th e crowd i n the park ,was probably the most numerous that has ever boa: assembled in London ; but scattered as it was irre gularly over a large extent of ground, it is impos sible to form any estimate of its actual numbers. To describe the martial array on the ground it would be desirable to invoke " a Muse of fire," were there any hope she would descend at the call; but at. one time it appeared as if the opposite element intended to come down profusely. The Volunteers have been so continuously persecuted by the rigours of this severe summer—the heaviest rains having fallen on the drill Saturdays—that " Volunteers' weather" was becoming proverbial. Her Majesty's good fortune, however, again prevailed.; the dreaded showers blew over, and the cool and cloudy day was a fine one by comparison. The Board of Works and the War-office brought a tremkr.dous outside pressure on themselves by providing platform accommodation for a large num ber of spectators. A range of sloping galleries had been erected facing the ground, and parallel to Park-lane, the houses of which backed it. Gros venor-gate, was the centre of this line, and between it and the gallery the Royal standard was planted. The platforms accommodated about 17,000 persons, and there were nearly ten times that number of applications for tickets of admission. Below the galleries and in front oF them, a space much tco narrow, as it proved, was railed in, and to this space officers in uniform and volunteers not in their ranks for the day were admitted. The general public fringed the park with a living border; but, as it was absolutely necessary to keep the ground clear, no transgression of the limits was permitted o those who had no cards. The order to this effect was enforced by the Guards and a strong body of police. The ground on which the Volunteer bat- talions took up their positions as they arrived stretched across the whole of the park, so that when the formation was complete the extreme right of the line was flanked by the lofty houses at Albert gate, and the left by the Bayswater-road. Behind the line, throwing it into strong relief, were the trees of the park. The place of each corps was marked out by flags. Several companies were on the ground before 2 o'clock, but at that hour they began to arrive in quick succession ; the long line of men, the distant clash of many different bands, an 3 some light clouds of dust (that ought always to obscure a marching body, and is as indispensable to a mili tary picture as smoke) had, altogether, an excel lent effect. Passing over two hours of time and the order of arrival, we will put all the corps in position at once, and leave them, with piled arms, standing at ease, some even reclining in more than easy attitudes. A light, bluish vapour could be seen at times curling over the column, from which we may infer that cigars were allowed in this interval; and a perfect drift of paper fragments that blew over the ground from the same direction Indicated a large cOnsumption ofsandwiches. The Volunteers have no official Commissariat ; and the precaution might be no less wise if they had. The same interval was to the spectators one of those pauses in which small incidents acquire an absurd importance. The galloping about of the Staff was equal to a series of races, the object of the running being quite a mystery to the uninitiated. Something dreadful always appears to be happening at the end of the line where the Staff is not, and away the group of uniforms tear to rectify it ; it is important ;perhaps, but to the public inexplicable. Everybody felt grateful for the amusement fur nished by a trumpeter of the Life Guards, in the heavily-laced coat and jockey cap—which favoured the racing theory. He was attached to the Duke of Cambridge, and occasionally blew a screech on his rumpet—a most wretched and unwarlike sound, hough it was, we believe, a signal of some kind; certainly it was a signal for laughter whenever it was heard. Another source of amusement was a rather Lucretian and selfish enjoyment of the per.: plexities of the dense crowd of officers and military personages of various grades in the railed space be low the galleries. Ten feet more of ground might have been given, and the want of it caused confu sion. The pressure at last was too great, and there was a rush under the rail into the open. The police could do nothing against the plumes and epaulets. The disorder gave the Staff two or three gallops to the spot. The Commander-in-Chief himself remon strated, but the disorder, which was not very serious after all, couldnot be retrieved. The ground gained was kept; but, as a compromise, the front ranks were directed to sit down, which they did, and Policeman 209 was released from his responsi bility. There was much speculation as to some of the most gorgeous uniforms in this military miscel lany, which were quite new to English eyes. Very wild guesses were made, but opinion settled down on Indian Horse Artillery and Cavalry, regular and irregular. A magnificent Lord-Lieutenant, whose place was near the Queen, but who had lost his pass-ticket, was sternly refused ingress, and re mained in the crowd undistinguished. Baron Roths child was also among the military mob we have attempted to describe. At 4 o'clock the first gun of the Royal salute ap prised all that her Majesty was entering the Park. A succession of cheers from the extreme left an nounced it also. A detachment of Life Guards headed the procession, which passed from left to right along the front of the galleries. Her Majesty was in an open carriage, with the King of the Belgians, the Princess Alice, and Prince Arthur. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, in uniform, rode by the side of the carriage, near which were also the Prince of Wales and Prince Jules of Holstein-Glucksburg. Aides-de-Camp, Equerries, the Adjutant-General, and other high military officials preceded the carriage. It was immediately followed by the venerable Lord Com bermere, who was old in service before most of the soldiers on the ground were born, for he counts 70 years, not of age, but of duty. His horse was led, and every attention was paid to the veteran war rior. He wore his Order of the Bath and the uni form of his regiment, the Life Guards. In the two other carriages were the Princess Louise, the Prin cess Mary of Cambridge, and Mr. S. Herbert, Sec retary at War; Prince Leopold, Princess Helena, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz. In the line of the proces sion followed the Lords-Lieutenant of the counties to which the several corps of Volunteers belong. The cortege passed nearly to the extreme left of the line of volunteers, then turned and proceeded slowly along the front to the extreme right, and, turning again, drew up on the open ground in front of the Royal standard. The three bands of the Household Brigade were stationed opposite the Royal carriages ; through the intervening space the volunteer companies marched, those on the right of the line of columns coming up first. It was half past 4 o'clock when the Ist Huntingdonshire Mounted Rifles passed her Majesty ;and at a few minutes to 6 o'clock the 25th Cheshire closed the r eview, which lasted without intermission for quite an hour and a-half. Those who have not s een lar g e bodies of troops under similar circumstances can scarcely men ycaeln culate the time required for 20,000 or 30,000 to pass any given point, even without obstacles, and with everything prepared for the operation.

We believe that some of the companies were larger than the previous return to the War office made them, and that the total number on the ground was considerably above 20,000. The general impression produced by the appearance and bearing of the Volunteers was very favourable, and there was but one opinion of their efficiency—that it did infinite credit both to the men and officers. The Huntingdonshire Mounted Rifles, commanded by the Duke of Manchester, were much admired for the beauty of their horses; they were finer ani mals than any of ear regular cavalry regiments can show. The City Artillery Company was the first body of infantry that passed ; they might easily be mistaken for the Foot Guards; but they are an ancient corps, with a long training. Some of the best known companies were cheered as they passed. Lord Elcho and the Highland Company, the Lon don Irish, the Inns of Court Companies, and the Nottingham Robin floods were among luny thus distinguished. We have heard much of the time it takes to make a soldier ; the difference between the erect, well-set up Guardsman and the rural recruit, with the heavy slouch of the field and furrow, is so immense that it will, perhaps, justify the long period necessary to transform him, But a glance at the men in the Park on Saturday was enough to show that by going higher in the social scale for the "raw material" we find it capable of the most rapid con version into soldiers. Those who acquire first essentials so quickly will take the final perfecting in all the greatest martinet can desire, with equal facility. The army has been so exclusively re cruited from the labouring class that it is some thing like a surprise to find that superiority of ' mere physique, in height and strength, is not so entirely confined to this one section as is generrlly supposed. The volunteers compared with the same number of regulars would have rather the advan tage in both respects, unless the latter were picked regiments. The vexed question of the fittest colour of the rifleman's Rniform was brought to a test by the re view. When the companies were first organised it was feared they might run to an excess in costume, and adopt dangerously brilliant colours. We are not sure but there has been a slight excess the other way ; the neutral tints are in: masses sombre, and the very dark colours, verging on black, are by no means invisible as a mark. The visibility of a colour depends very much on the background; on a bare stony soil the brow ns and grays would be come indistinct; among trees and forest the greens would mix in with the scenery; But the absolute black or very dark green is visible at any distance at w hich a human figure can be perceived. The • -e • _ - „ - kest uniforms in the Park were as distinctly' seen as the coloured flags that marked the ground. Her Majesty left the ground at 6 o'clock, in the same order as she arrived, but some time elapsed ie : • e eublic could get clear of the enclosures,. The difficulty . _ etting a large body of troops out of the Park has almost become a military axiom, but the difficulty is not insuperable. The volunteer officers solved the problem without confusion, ex cept a little crushing at the gates ; but the crush ing was more among the spectators than the troops. While the first companies were passing her Ma jesty, five singularly-costumed figures appeared in the centre gallery " clothed in white smite, mys-' stic, wonderful," and hardly to be distinguished from the ladies, though their beards forbad us to interpret their garb as that of the fair sex. They were the Moorish Ambassador and his suite ; two wore turbans and the-others the white burnous of which we heard so much during the recent Spanish campaign. The capacious hoods nearly hid their faces, and the drapery reached to the heels. They came late and found no vacant places; her Majesty observed their difficulty, and sent au officer to re- quest the ladies to give the floors a front seat if possible. The white-robed figures advanced a step or two, saw the case was hopeless, shook their heads, and politely retired. They were taken on to the open ground, and stood through the rest of the review, not far from the royal carriage; a naval officer, who acted as interpreter, conversed with them, and was very gravely listened to. It is to be hoped he made matters clear to the Moslem mind ; but their next despatch to the Emperor would be worth reading ; it would probably resemble the chapter in " Eothen" in which the travelling Briton endeavours to explain to the Pasha the status of a deputy-lieutenant, and the meaning of a Speech from the Throne. Grand as the martial display was, it is only by re- collecting the apathy of former years, and the total_ estrangement of the middle classes of England from all which pertains to a military organisation that we can estimate the real strength and significance of the movement. The amount of exertion re quired to bring these 20,000 men into the park at a fixed hour must have been immense; nor is the A :acrifice in time, labour, and actual cost a trifling one. It can only be roughly estimated. Great as the number seemed on the field, it was only a frac tion of the whole body. The preparations for the transport to London must have begun at the distant points on tile previous day. Through the whole of Friday night and in the early dawn and during the morning of Saturday the railway trains were starting from the princial cities and arriving at the London stations. The review itself was only a part of the day's display', and not the most diffi cult. Many of the corps must have been under arms and on the route nearly the whole of the previous night, and most of them returned oil Saturday even ing. In London the course of business had been un settled for two days previously, and on Saturday was almost suspended. Factories, banks, offices, the Inns of Court, all sent their representatives to the ranks. The general public, as if by agreement, made the occasion a national holiday. An attempt to cal culate the numbers of the population that London sent to Hyde-park, and to every point, spot, and elevation from which the park can be seen, would be utterly vain. There was a separate gathering in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace to see some of the corps arrive, and the Royal cortege depart, that was of itself a spectacle. Throughout the day the people displayed the live- liest and most sympathsing interest in the appear ance and movements of the Volunteers. If the body was a metropolitan corps a large portion of the crowd pressed forward to discover and recognise their friends in the ranks, or to examine and com pare the merits of the different companies into which it was divided ; while, if it was a regiment from the country, it was received with good-natured com ments upon the distance which it had travelled, and the hard work and fatigue which its members had to perform and undergo before they returned to their homes. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The Royal Mail steamship Arabia, which touched at Queenstown yesterday, arrived in the Mersey this afternoon. On the 14th inst., at 7 30 a.m., the Arabia passed the loyal Mail steamer Niagara, en route for Boston ; on the 19th, at 12 30 p.m., in lat. 50 54 N., long. 3312 W, the screw steamship Kangaroo, bound west; on the 20th, in lat. 51 7 N., long. 26 W., the English ship John Clemins, bound east ; and on the 21st, in lat. 52 N., long. 18 W., the English ship Thetis, bound east; and, in long. 16 W., the bark Evangeline, bound cast. The reported assassination of the Emperor of Japan was discredited at New York ; and, as the Chinese advices received in England are consider ably later than those received via California, an nouncing a peace, the probability is that both statements are untrue. The proceedings in Congress are without interest.
