the command oft h)tain C. H. White, adjutant
of the let' Royal Cheshire Militia ; and the left

POint around the Vast area of the Roodeye being closely

to Col. Wilbrahant; 18,8, iihritherstori, Esq., MY. for
Chester, and Mrs. and Miss Plembersten; Cok. ;
Capt.* Lady Louisaßrooke aria three &area. &c., &c.

In conseqiiente of t'he Wet state of the weather, the
comineficethent of the review, which was appointed for
half-past tour, was delayed for about an hour ; after
which the sky cleared, and the scene presented on and
around the Roodeye was most briltiaiit. the brigade
having been formed in oten r,Olumn,.the official pro-
gramme of mu'itblents, which we published at full
length S'Ssterday, was gone through with the greatest
precisiOn and order. After the review, the brigade
formed three sides of a square, and the presentation of
the silver bugle took place.
lady Louis BROI*E, who was dressed in. white;
'with a scarlet shawl—quite a Zo mildair4,=speaiing
from a small platform in front of the grand stand,
Said Chester Rifle Volitateers llt is with gratifica-
tion and with pride, that I avail Myself of my husband's
permistion to present you with this bligle. Of the
great national volniappi nicvem..ll.l6elr, t feet that I
can say 'nothing whith- has riot been much better
said before-. The Marked and distinguished notice
bestowed Oh it by our gracious Queen. has placed it
-beyond words of mine, and has testified to- you
the sentiments with which she regards you as a
SOvereign and as a woman. As one of the wives and
niethqs of Engldnd, I pray God speed it and yen. You
hive banded yourselves nobly, and manfully ttethei;
chiefly on our behalf, and in clefencia Wr children,
and our homes and .We tlidtild hot be what you belieVe
us to be, or
.Whit Indeed I hope we are, if we did not
deeply feel, and, whenever we can, to the best of our
ability, express our: confidence and our gratitude.
But, gentlemen, we, too, have a duty to perform.
Though we cannot . join 'yeur rinks, we can
and,. we ought to do our utmost to increase
them, both . for your sakes and for our own.
We know the moral influence which has been exercised
over 'universal Europe by this 'volunteer movement,
even during the- short .period of its existence. It may
be that it has already served to - dispel 'Certain ominous •
clench which hung over us at an earlier portion of the
present year. But, be that as it may, I feel assured that the
complete extension and full developMent of the volunteer
System must produce.a still greater effect on the world.
I hope to see the time when every Englishman, without
'exception, shall shoulder his rifle and learn his drill;
and I belieie that from that tithe' forward England-is
not only invincible,, but that the very whisper of invasion.
will never more be heard. Surely, then, it becomes the
duty of us—the mothers, wives, and sisters of England
—to incite our sons, Our husbands, and our brothers, to
rally round you, and never to cease from our impor-
imilties till they have done so. Permit me now—the
daughter of an old soldier; who long served his country
faithfully and well, and who, had he Rita, would have
gloried to see arms in the hands of Englishmen for so
'holy a pUrpose--petthit me to present' you with this
bugle: I know' well. that when it summons you to your
clutieS, it will never sound in-vain. • "

The bugle was handed to Captain Humberston, who
returned thanks. A reveille was then sounded on the
silver bugle, which was followed by loud cheering. •
The commanding officer, Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. T.
Cholmondeley, and the inspecting field Officer, Colonel
R. Wilbraham, each addressed the volunteers at great
length, and passed the highest- encomiums - upon
the marvellous proficiency of the volunteers; and
thanks were tendered 'to these distinguished officers for
their services. The proceedings terminated a few
minutes before seven o'clock, with three cheers, and one
cheer more for Lady Louisa Brooke and her three chil-
dren, who were on the platforth. The silver bugle
bears' the 'following* inscriptiOn :—" Presented to the
Chester - Volunteer Rifles, by Lady Louisa -Brooke,
