Whatever may be the incidents attending any futu anniversary gathering of the volunteers, the Dover Review of 1869 cannot fail to rank as one of the most memorable. Persons have been so accustomed to regard, or rather to accept, Easter Monday as a day peculiarly set apart for volunteer displays that many doubtless forgot the very early date at which the laws that regulate " movable feasts" this year brought on the principal muster of the national army of defence. In the stress laid in the War Office circular upon the provision beforehand of water proof coats and capes, there was a note of warning that was not lost upon the wise. Travelling in a storm of wind and snow, the late arrivals on leaving the railway stations found themselves exposed to drifts of hail so thick and violent that the object of their journey seemed hopeless of attain ment. On land there was disappointment, at sea disaster; for a ship of war was beating out its life against the Admi ralty Pier, and the intention to hold the review, at first abandoned, was reasserted and carried into execution only by the determination and personal exertion of the Commander-in-Chief. 2 1 ... .... TAE ARP:IN - ALS. Some of the volunteers had come over night, but the greater number chose the very day itself for travelling. Soon after seven o'clock on Monday morning special trains with volunteers from London began to arrive by both the South-Eastern and the London, Chatham, and Dover lines. Among the first corps which came in were the 3rd London, the 37th, the 40th, and the 4Sth Middlesex. The 3rd Middlesex Artillery was also among the early arrivals. The men of the Non. Artillery Com pany came down in the course of the morning, their guns having been brought down on Saturday. By nine o'clock bands were playing in all directions, and some fifteen or sixteen thousand volunteers were already preparing for the muster on the various points of rendezvous along the beach. THE RENDEZVOUS. At ten some eighteen thousand men bad solidly fallen in on the Marine-parade. This was the rendezvous ; and all was now ready for the first brigade of artillery to file off from the sea front by fours, and commence the march to Castle-hill Fort by Bench-street, the Market-square, Castle-street, and New Castle-hill-road. Arrived on the heights, this imposing force should then have marched past the reviewing officer. But nothing of the kind did take place. The weather became utterly execrable and abominable. The watery firmament seeming pouring through a hundred thousand windows, but always driven slantwise by the wind. As for the sea, it was inky black, save on the shore, where, churned into an intolerable spasm of foam, it leaped up in towering columns of wave, washing right over the flags of the Marine-parade, and far into the roadway, and threaten ing in some of its refluxes to carry away the volunteers — haversacks, rifles, brass bands and all—by the whole battalion. Under these circumstances what was to be done? To keep the troops in their position on the Esplanade was manifestly cruel, for those unprovided with waterproofs were literally soaked. At half-past ten in the morning it was a matter not of moral impossibility—for the men were ready to go anywhere, and do anything—but of physical impossibility, to march even eighteen hundred, much less eighteen thousand, men up to Castle-hill Fort. The few mounted officers who ventured up to the Castle were almost blown from their horses, and the driving rain cut their faces as though with icy whips. By order of Sir Hope Grant, the review operations were relinquished. It was originally intended to dismiss the force at once and definitively ; but at the suggestion, it is said, of Lord Ranelagh, the volunteers were temporarily dismissed, and bidden to reassemble again, at three o'clock, at the same rendezvous, when, if it were at all practicable, a march Past would be essayed. able weatb er. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCR 30, 169. Ennee 'Keck rode past at the heal of his own brigade of Surrey Artillery, and then joined the Royal circle at the flagstaff. General Sir Hope Grant and a brilliant staff were immediately in rear, and in striking contrast to the British scarlet were two Austrian uniforms. The passage of regiments before the Commander-in-Chief was sustained with as much regularity as circumstances per mitted; but occasionally there were considerable intervals. The 4th, 91st, and.94th Regiments of the Line, which took part through representative companies in the day's proceedings, were loudly cheered, and their well-ordered lines stood out in relief against the looser array of the volunteers. Many of these, however, acquitted themselves most creditably, and would have done even better if they could be induced to remember that in marching past their business is to be looked at, not to look at others. As already explained, men bad come together very hastily on the Esplanade, with great coats, capes, &c., in disorder, but advantage was taken of every little halt to achieve something resembling unifor mity of appearance, and the corps undoubtedly were in much better foim at the summit than they were at the beginning of the ascent. THE SHAM FIGHT. The march past concluded shortly before four o'clock, and most persons presumed that the different corps would be taken straight back to Dover with a view to their speedy departure by railway. The Commander-in-Chief, however, was bent apparently upon adhering, so far as time permitted, to the original programme. Accordingly, as the various regiments passed the flag staff orders were sent them to march upon the points indicated in the plans prepared beforehand, and long lines of many-coloured uniforms spilead themselves, in compliance with the Duke's orders, over what appeared to be, and doubtless were, many miles of country. Of the artillery corps present, the majority were despatchedto Dover Castle. The engagement was supposed to begin at some distance from the Castle , between the rival lines of skirmishers, but it gradually drew nearer to the walls, and then the fortress took its part in the fray. To the general public this was the most attractive portion of the spectacle, for between the nondescript hue of the chalky soil and the kindred haze of the smoke from the guns, the movements of the rival armies were followed with difficulty, and when, later on, the firing extended to the fleet the interest in this direction culminated. The Royal Sovereign and the Scor pion, for some time before they opened fire from their turrets, had lain broadside on to the Castle, with bulwarks lowered and the muzzles of the guns showing ; but it was feared that the same cause which had prevented the other vessels from venturing out of harbour to fulfil their share in the programme might hinder the large ships from coming into action. The general mind, however, was re assured when, with a roar that shook the houses in the town, the guns of the Royal Sovereign and Scorpion opened. The cannonade was briskly sustained both on land and at sea for a considerable time, and the shades of evening were falling when the final signal was given, and besiegers and besieged ended their differences amicably. NAVAL OPERATIONS. The delay in the military movements postponed naval operations, and the afternoon bad far advanced ere it was known that the sea attack would form part of the pro gramme. The order " Beat to quarters" on board the Royal Sovereign was answered smartly by the picked crew on board, and the hinged bulwarks were lowered in a few seconds, leaving the deck clear for action. The guns were run out, the seamen gunners at their posts, and the turning gear free from all impediments. On board Captain Brooker's ship all obstructions on either side the turret were removed, and both vessels awaited orders to engage the enemy. At half-past four the Royal Sovereign opened fire with her big guns pointed at the Guildford Battery, near the Dover promenade. The practice was smart and exceedingly well regulated, and the turrets worked smoothly and without a hitch in the rotary motion. The reverberation was remarkable after each discharge, and the peltering of rifles and the sharp bang of the small cannon on shore were almost lost when the booming from the sea had once begun. Then the Scorpion opened fire, and the two ships did good service in the mock battle, in assisting the invading army to accomplish its work. The Royal Sovereign delivered her fire much quicker than the other turret ship, and both men•of-war did good service in assisting the invaders. The contest on shore slackened, and then the order was given to cease firing ; the bulwarks were raised, guns hauled in, and so the naval movements ended. Had the weather per mitted the smaller war-ships to come out and attack Archcliffe Fort, the spectacle would have been much snore interesting ; as it was, the attack from the sea was entirely directed towards the eastern fortifications. THE PRESS UN 11-fE REVIEW. The r inla declares that Monday was a day to try the prowess of the volunteers. March is not this year going out like a lamb. A mild, rainy, relaxing winter has been folloWed by a sharp, cold, squally spring, which was at its worst on Monday morning. The thousands who awoke and beAirred themselves before sunrise to take part in the national gathering must have felt that their task would be one of duty, and not of pleasure. All through the early hours the wind blew in fierce gusts, and the rain or snow fell heavily. In the country the fields were white with snow ; in London the flakes soon resolved themselves into the ordinary slush. But on the s uth coast the visitation was the most severe. But, at any rate, the volunteers-have the satisfaction that the Easter Monday of 180 has not been a blank in their annals. It would certainly have been a subject for discontent and ill-natured criticism if the metropolitan volunteers had gone ninety miles for a review and had then been stopped by the rain. The end of the day, in short, made amends for the beginning. Though one or two heavy showers fell in the course of the aft;r. noon, yet the evening turned out fine and comparatively genial, and the trains brought the men to town at night without accident, the railway service being not the least creditable and satisfactory part of the day's proceedings. We trust that in future the volunteers will select Whit Monday, instead of Easter Monday, for their annual review. They will have at least a better chance of favour• The Daily News gives the volunteers great credit for their conduct under very trying circumstances, The sud den call to the review after their dispersal put them at a most unusual disadvantage. It was a gathering in hot haste, which put their discipline to the severest trial. The wonder is that they got through the review at all, much more that they got through it with some credit. Such a test would have tried the discipline even of profes sional soldiers, and it is never fair to the volunteers to forget that they are not professionalsoldiers, but a citizen guard. They do a great national service almost at a private cost, and that the numbers are so well kept UP, and the efficiency of the force so satisfactorily sustained, does infinite credit to the patriotism and public spirit of our people. The Telegraph says that great credit is due to the gallant volunteers that they succeeded in triumphing over such Easter Monday weather. The aspect of the field might have daunted the most seasonable and redoubtable war riors. But " Duty" is not a name to be washed out of existence by equinoctial storms, or blown to the winds by the hurricane of an expiring British winter; and on Mon day duty again brought a prompt and satisfactory reward. Wet and weary enough, perhaps, but covered with well earned glory, the volunteers have " enjoyed" their field day, and displayed a patience and an amount of discipline under the severest difficulties that must reinforce the arguments of those who know and main tain the national value of this force. But we would press on the volunteers, and ou those who lead them, our counsel as to the season for this national event. Let Easter Mondaybe henceforth abandoned as the day of the annual grand parade. Even when it falls later, that day is too rico, the winter 160:01•011 to be safely chosen for a spectacle so popular and impor tant. Why should not Whit Monday, on which there is a relaxation of business demands and pursuits scarcely smaller than that of Easter Monday, be selected for taking our citizen soldiers to the country on their great field-day ? Whit Monday is the "feast of gladness, when woods and fields put off their sadness ;" which, being translated into sober prose, means that even in this foggy and wind-lashed kingdom, there is a pretty good chance of obtaining at that more advanced period firm ground to march upon, and a bit of blue sky overhead. The volunteers, no doubt, have ere now proved that they don't care for a " wet jacket ;" but a dry one is more comfortable ; and the public will not trust in Easter Monday weather, after Monday's narrow escape from disappointment and disaster. The Star observes that with us Easter Monday has been regarded for a very long period as purely a secular holi day, on which any spectacle may properly take place which is lawful at any other period. Nor are abstract opinions on the rightfulness of war at all involved in the proceedings of the volunteers. Of all branches of the armed force, they at least come nearest to the perfect model of an army, being by the very nature of their organi sation enrolled simply for purposes of defence, and not to be used by any ambitious despot as the means for carrying out a policy of ambition. They (10 not choose Easter Monday for the purposes of their annual exercise in arms from any other consideration than that of convenience. They do not muster to make an offensive d'splay of strength in the eyes of any supposed enemy, but solely to keep alive their organisation, and to perfect themselves in an art which is not o pposed to the spirit of Christianity if intended solely to preserve the institutions of a free country from any polluting touch by alien hands. A volunteer army is essentially a peaceful force, not in a cynical and debasing point of view, but in the highest sense in which such terms can be employed. It forms the natural and true reserve of the country. We know very well that should war unfortunately menace this country, the Government and the people would at once throw aside all abortive plans in regard to se mi-discharged soldiers, militia, and what not, and would place their sole reliance upon the numbers, the spirit, the efficiency, and arms of the volunteers.

At the time that the order was given to dismiss, a very, very few of the most sanguine entertained the slightest hope that the rain would cease before midnight, and no one appeared to question the policy or propriety of the decision then come to. As soon, however, as the air had cleared and the roads were beginning to dry, critics appeared in crowds, like the lizards after a tropical shower, and there was much shaking of heads and many questionings of the propriety of the course which had been adopted. But it was all the fault of the weather; no one was to blame. Lounging upon the pier, and strolling through the still: damp streets, was not a promising way of spending the afternoon. There seemed, however, to be no alterna tive ; when the appearance upon the scene of the Duke of Cambridge gave an entirely new turn to affairs, roused all from lethargy. His Royal Highness, who had ridden over from Walmer Castle, accompanied by Prince Arthur, Prince Teck, and Lord Granville, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, reached Dover about 12 o'clock, and appeared to be greatly surprised and equally annoyed to find that after bringing the volunteers from London and other places, it was intended to have no review after all. He at once made his way to the Lord Warden, and having called out General Lindsay, demanded, in tones which were, to say the least, percmptory, why the review had been given up. The gallant General explained the reasons to his Royal Highness. But these reasons were not sufficient to satisfy the Commander-in. Chief, and he expressed in unmistakable terms his determination that the men should be mustered into ranks, and that all the contemplated manoeuvres should be performed. The proclamation of this intention was made in the presence of a considerable number of volunteers, whom the appearance of his Royal Highness and his party had caused to assemble, and was by them received with an unanimous and hearty cheer, which was repeated when the Com mander-in-Chief equally loudly directed that all the staff officers should immediately get upon their horses, ride about Dover, and turn the men out as quickly as possible. " Sound the assembly at once " said the Duke, turning to a bugler who happened to be near him, and who, in his nervousness at being so suddenly addressed by so exalted a personage, began to " toot, toot," feebly, in a vague .search after the appro priate notes ; and " You" (turning to the volun teers who were around him) "fall in at once." The effect of these decided and vigorously-uttered directions was at once perceptible. The excitement could hardly have been more intense, the bustle could not have been greater, if we had suddenly been informed that a hostile fleet was just rounding the end of the pier, and that it was necessary to fly to arms in order to defend our shores against the pro faning footsteps of an arrogant invader. THE ASSEMBLY. Anyone who has assisted at an excursion or ple.nie, where members of the party have strayed off in different directions and lost sight of each other, can form some notion of the difficulty o f getting the volunteers together again. Moreover, thou g h "the Assembly" was sounded in front of every hotel, in all the leading thoroughfares, and almost at every street corner, there were reasons —or, at least, excuses—for its not being obeyed with alacrity in all cases. Many had been wet through, or nearly so, and it calls for an effort, even on the part of strong-minded men, to struggle into damp boots or coats again at a moment's notice. M a ny bad food or drink before them when the bugles began ; some had actually left the town, or made other arrangements for the day ; while, of course, there was a proportion —though happily a small one—of men who flatly avowed that they " felt them- selves very comfortable, and did not mean to stir." Among the steadiest volunteers also there were conflicting opinions ; some held firmly to the " three o'clock" order given in the first instance, discouraging as well-meant but mistaken interference the efforts of those who were endeavouring to bring about an immediate parade. Some whose rendezvous lay in the East had to go bleats iu LLe Co. - 6t inotanco to cot their As soon, however, as two or three bands had been got together, and the steady tramp of a battalion en route for the heights was heard, indecision and conflicting currents came to an end, and three-fourths, or possibly four-fifths, of the volunteers in Dover instinc- tively fell into their places. Taking all the circumstances into account, the weather and consequent state of the roads, the sudden dispersion and still more unforeseen recall, it is to the credit of the force, as military men cheerfully admitted, that within two hours and a half from the time the Dnke of Cambridge issued his orders at the Lord Warden the head of the column—not taken indiscriminately in the order of arrival, but arranged as nearly as possible in accordant. e with the original distri bution in the War Office returns—matched past the flagstaff in rear of the Castle-hill Fort, two miles and upwards away from the town. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. The Duke of Cambridge took a very active part in superintending the muster ; and te, Prince Teck, and Lord Granville for som a r rode hither and thither a mid the gathering squadrons. Prince Arthur remained with them for some time, but after a while he rode off to the Castle, and did not rejoin the Commander-in-Chief until the commencement of the" match past." The Duke of Cambridge was in his full unifunr, as a Field-Marshal. Prince Arthur wore the uniform of the Royal Artillery, awl Prince Teck that of a Volunteer Artillery Corps ; while Lord Granville was wrapped almost from head to foot in a white mackintosh, above mhich peeped out the scarlet collar which gives the uniform of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports so much:resemblance to that of a general imstman. THE MARCH PAST, _ . On leaving the Esplanade the troops, headed by their I...ands, marched past the Obelisk, and on to the Castle Heights. Notwithstanding the severity of the day and the sweeping wind to which the he:ghts were exposed, m any ladies in carriages, on horseback, or on foot were among the lookers on.

Berlin ARCHBISHOP MANNING ON THE .RITUALISTS. On Sunday High Mass was celebrated at St. Mary's pro• Cathedral, Moorfields, and a sermon was pre.xlied by the Most Rev. Archbishop Manning on words taken from thetwenty-fourth chapter of the Gospel of St. Luke, "And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He said unto them, Have ye here any meat?" The discourse is said to have been patriarchal, crouched in language of great simplicity, strong and clear in argument, and singu larly persuasive. Dr. Manning argued the reality of the general resurrection and the identity of the original and revivified body, from the fact that Christ appeared to His disciples in a material form. If it were possible for the resurrection body of Christ to be raised above the conditions of nature, the bodies of those who participate in the resurrection of the just would, after the same fashion, be elevated and rendered supernatural. From the same premises the Archbishop inferred the verity of the Holy Eucharist a Peal Presence. In the suburbs of this church, in the twilight, were good and honest men who had come to receive the faith which their Church did not teach them ; they believed in the Real Presence, they erected altars, they made a tabernacle, for which their Church gave them no authority. They received and treasured up what they believed to be the body of Christ. They adopted the comely and beautiful vest ments of the Church. He loved them for the love they bore the shadow of their Lord ; his whole heart yearned over them. The Church would do anything and sacrifice anything except only God's truth to open the doors wide and admit them into her commu nion. AN IMPROILSED ADDRESS TO THE PREMIER. When the Premier, accompanied by Mrs. Gladstone and Master Gladstone, passed through Salisbury station by the 2.20 train from London en route for Wilton, there were (says the Salisbury Journal) but very few persons in the station at the time. Mr. Gladstone, however, was speedily recognised, and during the ten minutes which the train stopped at the station, a little crowd, chiefly composed of railway employCs, collected in front of the carriage. The Premier seemed perfectly unconscious that his presence 'excited the slightest interest. He was busily employed in writing, and scarcely turned a glance towards the platform. His attention, how ever, was soon arrested, for Mr. Harvey, the foreman of the Great Western Locomotive Department—and who it will be recollected took a very active part amongst the Liberal working men at the last election—stepped up to the window of the carriage, and addressed Mr. Glad stone. He said he congratulated the Premier upon the large majority which had supported his measure on the Irish Church question, and he hoped that all other bene volent and well-meant measures which the right hon. gentleman might hereafter bring forward would be equally well supported. He trusted Mr. Gladstone would pardon his intrusion, but he was impelled to this expression of his feelings by an impulse which he could n)t resist. Mr. Gladstone good-naturedly listened to his address, and, in reply, expressed his thanks to Mr. Harvey, remarking that it was always a source of gratification to him to receive the support of the working classes. The train moved off shortly a:terwards, and as it did so the station rang with cheers for Mr. Gladstone. THE LIBERAL CA BURN. NDIDTES FOR BLACK A Messrs. Potter and Morley, the Liberal cadidatos for Blackburn, have been addressing a large meeting of their supporters. Mr. Potter expressed great satisfaction at the prospects before them, and thought that the petition against the Tory members had done good service to their cause. He urged his claims on the electors as a friend of the work ing people, and declared his confidence in the present Go vernment. Mr. John Morley (editor of the Fortnightly Review) said the silence of the Tory party in the House of Commons proceeded from their inability to deal with the chief ques tions of the day; they were full of apprehension, and did not know which way to turn. Tho Liberal party felt that the questions which affected the poorer classes must be grappled with ; the object of the Government should be the welfare of the majority of the people, and in many ways that might be promoted. Mr. Morley said that until his experi ence at the last election he had believed the Ballot to be unnecessary, but he was now convinced of the necessity for such a measure. Its oppo nents denounced it as nu-English, but he would ask if it was English to prevent a man from voting accord ing to his conscience? With respect to himself it had been said that he was dangerous, because it was believed that he would tell the truth about everything. In the press he had nevPr abused ona riase or flattpred another. Ile acted as a safeguard in pointing out the unsatisfactory state of the country, and the man who sat on a barrel of gunpowder smoking his pipe was more dangerous than the man who warned him of his position. The summons obtained at the instance of the Olerkenwell vestry against a comic singer for driving $ Telocipede on the pavement has been withdrawn. The men and boys who were employed at the Edmund's Main and Swaithe Main Pits, near Barnsley, and who had "set" the two pits down in consequence of the pro prietors having given notice to a few of their number for what is termed "Blotching," or sending out dirty coals, resumed work on Saturday morning. The masters have angered a severe loss, and they threaten the mon with pro secution for setting the pits down without a proper notice ; but whether this threat will be carried out or not, now that the men have resumed work, remains to be se en AT NOTTING - H ILL —We have just received information that the Notting-hill railway station has taken fire, and when our reporter left it was still burning. The Lausanne Gazette says :—A body of Pied- Zontese masons were passing the Simplon the other day, when an avalanche overtook thorn, and fourteen poor fellows perished in the snow. TWO DEATHS BY LIGHTNING.—On Saturday night, during a violent thunderstorm at a place called Shaw-end, near Lealholin-bridge, on the North Yorkshire line cf railway, a cottage waa struck by lightning, and a man named Watson, and his wife, were found quite dead in the bed.
