THE KNOWSLEY REVIEW,

(From the Times.)
The' pUlilib has IVainl the complete success with which the
third of otir great volithteer reviews was accomplished on
b'atiiillf . hi tie colulnhs- of this jiatrrnal it has been iully
related how thc' invitation came forth from the house of
itanley; how it was proniptly accepted by the voleunteers of
Lancashire ;. hoW preparations were, Made• for- mighty
gatliering, and'how at last the spectacle was witnessed without
a single' dWaWbaclC even from the storminess-of tire seaso:.t. It
will have 1)&11 seen that the display was only inferior in mag-
nitude and importPdte to thb metropolitan exfillititin which
preceded it, and most recitare littlest have been impressed with
feelings of satisfaction at the announcement of the report.
TM event, however, carries more With ft than meets the eye
upon thee surface of the story.

The RevieitY at Knowsley was the gathGring of a' single
county—a popmlotie one, it is true, but still a single county.
That county is the strorigkii'' of the party le ist favourabie• to
even defensive armaments---the' !tarty which advocates peace
at any price, and which has looked ttrk,re the Volunteer Move-
ment with anything but approbation. Ilevertheles, this
county, with Manchester for its political heart centre, has
contributed 14,000 excellent soldiers to the Volunteer army,
and, *fiat is more, 11,000 of these troops have actually apps ed
under ants:at iri line on a given day. Nothing could prays
more convincingly fife reality of the movement than the large
proportion fling borne lay the muster to the muster-roll, by the
effectives- to the entire levy. /t is rarely indeed that a
forte of men upoh paper irodd be represented, by
11,000 in fife field: Observe again, what /las been done on
this occasion. The OfeA Duke''s'problein has been successfully
solved. Ten thousand trocips hare been got into a park and
have been got out again, not only' ritbbut confusihn, lint with
remarkable regularity and order. EXperinWite like this must
conduce largely to the military aptitudes of the" natibh. The
force Collected at Knowsley was more numerous then' that
encamped at Choi:them, and yet it was brought to the ground
feet elefeilf, and' taken off again with equal success. gent-
over, it vise fedi, and' thhugb the provisioning was only for a
single day, Me fritaf was' onouFli' to show what 10,000 men
required. Everyone concerned in the direction of this review
must have gleaned some fietful, ekPerienCe, and it is clear from
the results that we have learnt not otifylibw.to raise soldiers,
but how to move them in masses and Provide' for their wants.

When it is remembered that the force assembled at Knows-
ley represented only a county parade, its strength: will appear
aetoliisblVg: A posse comitotus will once more bemire an
imposing phYata. fn' Lancashire it implies nothing less than
a etrong militatYrtrriiett: 11,000 men, of whom 2,000 are
artillery, would count for stinetbing in the most powerful of
modern armies. Add the Lanict.hlfe' Militia regiments to this
body, and the force will be found trii.4ff fcrnridable. It is not
the least of the advantages attending the selneteer movement
that it has evoked and developed that county' spirit which,
though nominally preserved in the organisation of the regolar
artrry, had been,gradually suffered to decay. Volunteer ctifrrs
are elnlnently local. They are formed of men already
acquainted v.,-AIS each other, and possessed from the first with
those feelings al fraternity and mutual reliance which, in
ordinary cases, can only' epring front long service and common
perils. We can perfectly understand the steadiness and pre-
cision ascribed to the Liverpool aftilltry... The men know
each other as well as their work ; and sitar men, we are con-
fident, may be relied upon for the best service lir the world.
Lord Elcho observed at Montrose that the change' betcreen
England in 1459 and England in 1860 seemed almost fabulous,
and that °lir 110,000 Volunteers lead appeared to spring, is, ft
were; feady ander/ front the ground. There can he no doubt
abdtit the Rairvellotis character of the phenomenon, and the
aspect of atflitii seeat more surprising than ever if we
contrast it with tfidt`Prevailbrg 19 years ago. The whole
number of regular infantry' i Great Itiritain did not then
exceed that of the Volunteer 3 assembled at Knowsley.
The entire force of artillery profided for all foreign
and home service together was under 1.004 men, and
it is well known that we could not, even on the' greatest
eniergency, have brought out half as many guns as multi now
be frodinced in Lancashire alone. It must be rememberest,
too, in ittirs-abtr,", these comparisons, that in the former period
we had no rifiertiett: font. battalions of the regular army were,

it is true, designated Illy' thus title, and about 2,930 sAdiers
appeared dressed in green, histeatt of red, but they were sharp-
shooters only in name. Musketry Was neither studied nor
practised. If the efficiency of a soldier kto be measured by
the manner in which he can turn his weapons to' account, the
little army at Knowsley must be regarded as equi/alent to a
force of thrice its number in the last generation.

bite/Wonder that Lord Elcho should be anxious, for the per-
manence/ o'f rt Mei-Vet-flea so serviceable and so promising, a
movement which; veltitortt cost to the exchequer or offence to
any one, has doubled Out influence abroad, and established
public confidence at home. 'We must say. for ourselves, that
we regard the future without any aleptchension. The pro-
gress of the movement has been tea steady, and its suc-
cessive phases have been so well calculated to improve
and c'nsolidate the institution, that we cannot doubt its
durability. It has .not been the result of any sudden or
enthusiastic impulse. At first, indeed. it .seemed_ to Iran-
fire, nor was it until some months nad eianeed teat- too can=
viction of its 'Addy fairly seizes upon the national mind.
Front that time, however, to the. present its stages have been
exactly Whaf they should be. First, there was the enrolment
gradually eXpeneling from one centre to another, till it
embraced the whole kingdoin. Then came the days of rudi-
mentary drill---a period of herd work and little show, but
which produced such fruits that "General officers," as Lord
Echo told his audience, now speak of our Vu'unteer battalions
in the terms which the Duke of Wellington applied to his best
of armies. After this came the displays of strength and pro-
ficiency, in which the new soldiers mustered by terts of thou-
' sands; trod now we have the local reviews and local rifle
matches, which, as our columns have apprised the public, will
be continued throughout the autumn in various districts of
the kingdom.
In ell this there is so much that is natural, and so little that
is forced, tint we can see no reason for expecting any decline
Or diversion of the popular spirit, Of the two we should be
more inclined to wonder how the movement could have been
delayed so long than. why it should have advanced so rapidly,
The feeling of national insecurity in which it took its rise is
now a feeling of some years' standing. We have been so long
discussing our national defence3 that it seems strange we
should only et this eleventh hour have thought of the best de-
fence of all. Something, too, of the sort was actually needed
as a popular institntion. All the old outdoor sports of the
people had been long. on the decline.. Faire, revels,
feasts, and other such country gatherings, were going fast out
of repute, and with them the exercises by which they had been
enlivened. Wrestling, single-stick, and cudgel-playing, were
almost extinct, while archery in England and more recondite
sports in Scotland were only preserved by artificial cultivation.
The Volunteer movement Came just in time to fill a void, It
has supplied all ranke and all classes with a ;pursuit at once
honourable and diverting. The old " butts" are again reared,
and again the population of the.kingdom has taken to a national
exercise. Volunteeriie does fifty things at mice for us. It
brings high andlow together in the perfOrrnefice of a common
duty ; it draevs.men from the seclusion of their homes into
public life ; it provides us with. an invigorating sport and
cheerful spectacles; and, besides. all this, at
.gives the be,t of
guarantees for Our national security and power. A movement
which has produced these effects is tuft little likely, we think,
to fall out of favourl %•.

It is stated in the Californian papers that the arrivals
of Chinamen during the three months exceeded 7,000,
and more than half that number have departed for
British Columbia. • • -
DESPERATE CONFLICT WITH BiTnt-Lans..-;- Mies
officer Sterling, while-en duty in Church-road; Battersea.,
on'Sunday morning, about two o'clock, saw two men
loitering about the mill of Mr. Dives. He saw them
enter a boat at the rear of the mill, in which there
were three other men seated. He sent for assistance,
when Sergeant Payne speedily arrived. Shortly after
the men left the boat, four of them entering the mill,
when Sergeant Payne, finding he was short-handed,
called up William Coates, a waterman, and..a young
man mimed Thomas Hawes. Sergeant Payne - then
removed the boat a little way down the river, and
returned in time to find that a signal had been given by
some of the gang' Onithe watch. ' In an instant four of
the burglars rushed into the ThameS, speedily followed
by Sergeant Payne, who'sacceeded. in capturing one of
the men. A fifth burglar rushed from the -water on to
Phccniz Wharf, and was. there seized .by -Constable
Sterling, and a sixth endeavoured to -escape by running
into the .churchyard. •He was, however, followed by
Constable Baker, and on his coming up with him, a
desperate stiugile took place. i34-er held his man;
and while so engaged, the ruffian dealt him nine terrific
blows on the 'head with a life preserver. Genery, 391
V, then' came up in tinie enough to see him reliturash
his grasp through insensibility. He Icillowed the
burglar, hoivever, iirlio attempted to escape across the
churchyard; and being assisted by Sergeant Payne and
two other constables, they succeeded in capturing him,
after he had sealed two or three walls eight feet high.
Too other men were secured. One of the burglars is
supposed to be drowned. Constable Baker is .now in
hospital, with but remote hopes of his recovery.

VALUE AM) IMPORTANCE OF THE TEETH

The Teeth influence the form and expression of the
countenance more than is generally imagined, and the finest
face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis-
agreeable expression is produced.
When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when
speaSing or stifling, a fascination present which prevents
further examination of the countenance.

The most striking cases are those persons about the
middle period of life who have lost their Teeth; for. how-
ever clear and perfect their utterance may have been
before their less, it is impossible to regain it without sup-
plying the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth.
