THE EARL ANII CG x' T THE
. KNOWSLEY-HALL SLOW,
Shortly before five o' clock, the carriages weiesdifno tined
at Knowsley to be read for the review. The procession
was then formed, headed by the noble Earl, decorated
With the Order. of the Garter ; Lieutenant-General Sir
George Wethetall (aide-de-camp Captain Eteson), LOrd
Skelmetsdge, the Earl ot Saint, Sit Thcmias Hesketh,
Colonel Winn:tit-tarn, C.B'. Colonel Patter, Colonel
Leigh, Colonel Shaqwell, Colonel Crofton and Colonel
Lightfoot, Lieutenant-Coforiel lames kande) I-Awl/-
Colonel Talbot, and the rest of the staff; Then came an
open carriage, drawn by four dark chesnnt borsea, COri-
taining the. Right Hon. the Countess of Derby, Lady
Arabella Elesketh, Mrs. Wilbraham, and Mrs. Leigh ;
a second carriage, drawn by a pair of horses, containing
Mrs. Wilson Patten, Miss Wilbraham, and Miss Cecilia
Hopwood. A pony plateton, drawn by a pair of greys,.
ponies, in which sat Lady Skelrnersdale, the youthful
and beautiful bride of Lord Skelmersdale, and Lady
Emma Stanley. The contrast in the blond and the brit.
nette styles of beauty was never seen to greater advantage
than in the case of these two ladies, " where all around
was fair, they were the fairest!' By the side of the
phaaton rode the lion. r: Stanley, of the Guards, the
youngest son of the Itight lion. Earl of Derby. The
arrival of the cavalcade at Knowsley stands was signi-
fied by the firing of cannon ; and as the Countess of
Derby passed, the arms of the Derby fanaily were
hoisted at tne stands by Mr. Fenton. The noble Earl
and his Countess were loudly cheered as they passed
along.the line ofspectators, and as they proceeded along
the front of the volunteers. They drove around
the review ground, and the ladies alighted and took
their seats in the stand, the reviewing officers at the
same rinse taking up their position between the two
stands, one being occupied by the visitants and friends
of the noble host, the second by Captain Hamby, R.N.,
and his friends. Besides those whom we have already
mentioned as accompanying the Earl and the Countess
of Derby around the ground, we noticed mon the stand
the Mayor of Liverpool, the Mayor of Manchester, Sir
Thomas Birch, Bart., the Rev. Mr. Hopwood, of Win-
wick Hall, and family; Lord Stanley, M.P.; and a large
number of the elite of the neighbourhood.

THE GUARD OF HONOUR FOR THE
COUNTESS OF DERBY.

Colonel Wilbraham, C. 8., the brigadier of the first
brigade of Rifles, placed the 71st Highland Rifle Volun-
teers as a guard of honour to the Countess of Derby,
stating at the same time that he then conferred upon
them the highest honour in his power, as they would
occupy the same position that the Royal Archer Guard
of Scotland did at Edinburgh at the late review. This
corps appeared in their full dress (kilt, plaid, and
doublet of fawn grey, with blue facings, with Glengarry
and eagle's feather,) for the first time, commanded: by
Captain Scott, Lieut. J. M. Fraser, and Ensign. C.
Fyfe. They marched from head-quarters, in Wood-
street, at a quarter past one o'clock, headed by their
pipers, and proceeded to Edge-hill Station, to join the
second battalion. Loud cheering greeted them at diffe-
rent points.an the line of route, and from the time they
entered Lord Derby's grounds (the pipers playing "The
Campbells are Coming") their progress was one complete
ovation. The cheering and clapping of hands, and
hearty expression of admiration and good will, being
unbonnaed. As they marched up to the first brigade
the different Manchester and other regiments cheered
them heartily. Captain M'Gregor, of the 2nd High-
land Company of the London Scottish, and two
members of that celebrated corps, joined the 71st
on the ground, and expressed themselves as greatly
delighted with their very handsome uniform. The
appearance of the corps, as they stretched in a long
line on each side of the saluting flag, was much admired,
Ensign Lockhart, of the Edinburgh Highlanders, and
several other officers, joined them on the ground, and
marched all the way home with them. As they passed
Croxteth Hall, the Earl of Sefton stood at the hall, and
wished them good night in a tone that showed his
feelings against the kilt were entirely discarded, after
what he had seen that day. The cheering along the
route home was most enthusiastic at every point, and
we are certain that much good will, result to the corps
from this their first appearance in the "garb of old
Gaul." On reaching their head-quarters they were
addressed in a stiffing speech by Ensign Lockhart, and
afterwards by Captain 141‘Gregor, who said, "Highlanders,
you haie had a speech from Edinburgh, now have a
word from London. This company is said to be in its
infancy ; but all I've got to say is, that you're a very
promising corps." The corps then broke up, amidst
loud cheers for the officers of the corps who had honoured
them by their company that day.
