THE VOLUNTEER FORC 7, .

The Ci;ilTerviceCorps had a field-day and ()inner
on Friday in honour of their colonel's, the Prince of
Wales, birthday:
Colonel MaeMnrdo, in acknowledging a complimen-
tary toast, officially stated' that the actual numbers of
the volunteer army did riot exceed 130,000, but the
creation of a nucleus of a permanent character was of
more importance than a mere swelling of the total-
There were 7$ consolidated battalions giving 42,500
men fit to take their place in line of battle. There were
68 administrative battalions composed of scattered corps;
those 68 administrative battalions were capable of com-
ing together at a short notice, and would muster 36,000
men, thus they had at once 70,000 to 80,000 men
capable of taking their place in the line of battle or on
the flanks of an enemy, and the smaller corps which
complete the numbers were capable of doing duty as
garrison troops. In presence of real danger he esti-
mated that the volunteer force would amount to 550,000
men, or one in ten of the population capable of bearing
arms.
