THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE. The usual invasion that we now make up our minds to on the great days at Newmarket, and which this year, thanks to ss. specials, has swelled into larger proportions than ever—the same reckless dashing to and fro of horses and carriages, the latter, though, somewhat impeded by the heavy ground—the stentorian voice of Martin Starling raised in alternate objurgation and entreaty as ever and anon the sacred turf of the course was invaded by the hordes from Whitechapel and Shoreditch—tha county fami lies, with their well stocked luncheon baskets, and the Cambridge undergraduates on their much-enduring hacks, were all there on thisocc,asion —not quite so large an as semblage as on the Cesarewitch day, but quitelarge enough - . Nor.is the Cambridgeshire so interesting or exciting a race as the first of the two great handicaps. The capabili ties of so many of the competitors in the last have been pretty accurately estimated by their running in the first that there is hardly any difficulty in " spotting" favourites or predicting on what the money will be piled. Chepstow went so well up to a certain point in the long race, where in Proserpine , was third, that the claims of them both to be favourites could not be gainsaid, and since that event they have kept their positions unquestioned. But as the time drew near there were fresh candidates for favour, the most notable Affidavit and Thalia, the latter coming with an unexpected rush last night at the rooms and displacing Proserpine, who at ono time had seen 11 to 2. £7,000 to £l,OOO was taken by an influential supporter of the Fin don stable, and the quotations finally closed with Thalia, Chepstow, and Proserpine about equal favourites, though the first-named had a very decided call. This morning there was a fresh shuffling of the cards, and the French horse Affidavit was all the rage, while Thalia slightly retrograded, only to be again brought into favour below the flag fell. Proserpino, however, mast be considered the first favourite at the finish, as 5 to 1 only could be obtained about her. There was a long delay at the post caused by the breakings away of Chepstow, who was like a mad horse, Moldavia, Cranford, and others, but Mr. M'George at last succeeded in despatching the lot on good terms, , Proserpine, Ambition, Thalia, Affidavit, and Wild Agnes, showing in front, with Actma and Caithness (by many people supposed to be Chepstow) lying in the centre of the course. As they got to the rails Actma, and Caithness were alone in it, and a little further on it was reduced to a match between the first two, Actma„ with always the best of it, winning very cleverly by a length. Proserpine for the first quarter of a mile was well in front, and then gave way. Chepstow and Affidavit were never in it. _ _ The Prince of Wales arrived a short time before the race, and, mounting a gray Arab, cantered down to the post to see the horses, returning in time to witness the race from the new Stand. 100 soya; 2-yr-olds, sst 71b; 3-yr-olds, Bst 111 b; 4-yr olds, 9st 21b ; 5-yr-olds, 6-yr-olds, and aged, Oct 51b ; the winner, with his engagements, to be sold for 300 guineas.

Through the fractiousness of several of the horses as soon as they met at the post, among whom Chepstow, Moldavia, Out and Outer, Fleurette, and Star were the most conspi cuous performers, the start was delayed nearly half an hour. A favourable opportunity at last presenting itself the sig nal was lowered to an excellent start, in which Caithness, lying in the centre of the widely-spread line of horses was seen slightly in advance of Aetna, Star, Wild Agnes, and Ambition, on his right, having Proserpine, Lozenge, Chepstow, Thalia, Out and Outer, Jollity, and Moldavia on the lower ground. To these succeeded Affidavit, Claxton, Abergeldie, Charmette, and Etoile Filante running in close company, and a long 'way in whose rear were seen the colours of Dalesman, Brown Bread, Miss Ifaworth, The Czar, and llarefield, who appeared out of it before they reached the New Stand. Here Chepstow, overpowering Barker, rushed to the front as they commenced the ascent of the bill ; but immediately after he ran out, and narrowly escaped a collision with Ont and Outer, whose riders had to ease their horses to avoid an accident, and the renowned brother to Chattanooga was seen no more in the race. This little contretemps left the leaders still in undisputed possession of their prominent positions, which they retained to the site of the old Duke's Stand, half a mile from home, where the severity of the pace bad told its tale, and shortly after Wild Agnes, Out and Outer, Ambition, and Affidavit, gradually gave way as they came over the hill, followed in a few strides further by Proserpine and her stable com panion, Abergeldie. These retirements left Acta, Thalia Moldavia, Star, Jollity, and Claxton in attendance upon Caithness, who retained his lead to halfway up the rails, where he was headed by Adana, closely pressed by Thalia, the pair drawing away when fairly on the top of the hill and finishing an exciting race home, Aetna, who ran the longest, winning very cleverly at last by a length. There were some lengths between the second and third ; Moldavia was fourth, Jollity fifth, Star sixth, Fleurette seventh, and Ambition next.

The Volunteer Camp has been fairly broken up, the British flag has been pulled down at head quarters, and the Commander-in-Chief and his aides-de-camp have gone to some other champ des manoeuvres. A few Volunteers are still to be seen in the streets, and their appearance still gives rise to the " Hip, hip, hurrah !" with which the lower orders salute them ; but Brussels has returned to its ordinary occupations, and in another 24 hours there will not be even a trace of the splendid fes tivities of the past fortnight. As some reports have been circulated to the prejudice of the Volunteers in respect of-their conduct while in this city, it may be well, before bringing my record of the visit to a con clusion, that I should say a word or two On the subject. Having been about all day and all night wherever Volunteers " most did congregate," and having been obliged to sit out the small hours after midnight in preparing my letters for the morning mail, I venture to think that I have had as good an opportunity as ,any other person in Brussels of judging of the be haviour of the Volunteers. Well, under such cir cumstances, I have no hesitation in stating that it has been such as to do them the highest credit. The "testimony of private families residing here— and there could be no better evidence in the mat ter—is that the " British Volunteers have acted like gentlemen." Sometimes there was a little noise in the streets after midnight, and as on these occasions Volunteers were heard shouting " 'Five le Roi," and joining in the " Brabangonne" and " God Save the Queen," a general order requesting that such proceedings would not be renewed was posted at head-quarters. The prudence of this order may very fairly be questioned. The men might have been communicated with on the subject through their officers ; but such a document gave a handle to those who were disposed to cast odium on the Volunteers, though, of course, it was only a request addressed to a few. During the fetes it was difficult for any Volunteer to get home after a ball or con cert without being pressed by Belgians to stop on the way and partake of private hospitality. Besides a Belgian guard was invariably to be found round any group of Volunteers on their way to their hotel. Those generous Belgians were sure to raise their voices in the inevitable " Hip, hip hurrah," which evidently they believe to be our formula of acclama tion on every occasion when we would express our enthusiasm, even though there were no more drink- ing going on than would be at a teetotal meeting ; and the result of this salutation and the bar or two of " God Save the Queen" which invariably fol lowed it was naturally to evoke a " Vive le Roi !" and the " Brabangonne" from the English portion of the company. British rioting took no more mis chievous turn than that. No Volunteers were seen in disreputable company ; they were mixed up in no night brawls; they had no squabbles with the town's people ; and they discharged their hotel bill in a manner to leave the landlords nothing to complain of. Remembering, then, that there were nearly 1,000 of them here, all on a holiday, and all having every temptation to abuse hospitality had they been so disposed, their conduct cannot be deemed any thing else than highly creditable to corps and their country. That their commanding officer is of that opinion appears from the following document which he issued yesterday on leaving head-quarters : " Head-quarters, Brussels, Oct. 22. " Lieutenant-Colonel Loyd Lindsay, in concluding his duty as Commandant of the Detachment of Volunteers in Belgium, has to thank all ranks with whom he had the bc,caslons giVeh atm iu mannaluing urn - crew), atm good name of the English Volunteers in this foreign land. Within a period of 12 hours 1,100 men, drawn from abnost every corps in the kingdom, were assembled in Brussels, and were immediately called upon to take part in parades and reviews prepared for their reception ; that they were enabled to do this with credit to themselves is due to their appre•;iation of the necessity of discipline, and to the readiness with which they attended to all orders and regulations which were issued for their guidance. The visit of this large body of British Volunteers to Belgian soil is an epoch in the his tory of our Volunteers, and cannot fail to be remembered with pleasure and sa tisfaction by all. The gratifying' proofs of Belgian kindness, hospitality, 'and goodwill ac corded at our arrival has been enhanced by the general assurance at our departure of their appreciation of our good behaviour. That all ranks hero present have contributed towards the good understanding and mutual respect which has sprung up between the Volunteers of England and the people of Belgium is a matter of congratulation, not only to the 1,000 Volunteers here present, but to 180,000 Volun teers whom they represent iu England." The Reunion Lyrique gave a final concert to the foreign riflemen a night or two ago, and between the irst and second part of the performance M. Dc L'Eau D'Audrimot, major commanding the Chas- • sours Eclaireurs of the Garde Civique, presented to Col. Loyd Lindsay, for the National Rifle Asso ciation, a cup and a vase, offered by the battalion and the Belgian excursionists, as a prize to be com peted for at Wimbledon. Both prizes are extremely beautiful objects of art. Col. Lindsay and Lieut. Furley returned thanks, and several other speeches were delivered on the occasion. At the distribution of the prizes for thelong-range shooting the Minister of the Interior and the Pre sident of the Chamber of Representatives was present. The names of the winners were declared by the secretary, M. Boulart, to whom the compe titors owe a debt of gratitude for his management of and constant attendance at the range. As the winners came forward to receive their prizes they were warmly congratulated by Mr. Dailly, the pre sident of the Tir. Captain Willmott, of the Vic torias, announced that it was the intention of the members of that corps present in Brussels to pre sent a silver cup to be shot for by Belgians at next year's Tir, on such conditions as should be laid down by the Commission. A model of this prize was exhibited, and the Belgians received the announcement of the offer with several rounds of cheering. The following is the prize list.
