VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

EXCURSION OF MAC IVER'S ARTILLERY

VOLUNTEER CORPS.

On Saturday morning, this corps was invited by its
commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Mac Iver, to
spend a day at his country residence, Dovecot, Broad-
green. The volunteers left the Huskisson Dock at
half-past ten a.m., and were conveyed by the steam
tender, Satellite, to the South Landing Stage, where
they disembarked. They then, preceded by an excel-
lent band, marched up James-street, through Lord-
street, and Parker-street, to the Lime-street Railway
Station, whence they were conveyed by a special train
to Broadgreen. From Broadgreen, they marched to
Dovecote and entered an adjoining field, where they
were exercised in drill until four p.m. They then
marched to their host's house, where the corps to the
number of about 320 sat down to an excellent dinner
provided in the most sumptuous manner. Among
those present who were not members of the corps were
Major 'Walters, Commander Goldfinch, R.N., and
Captains Anderson, Dubbins, and Inglis (in the
employ of Messrs. Mac Iver). After dinner, some of the
party rambled over the country, while others found
metal more attractive in the well-stocked fruit garden
connected with the house. The company fell into
marching order at a quarter-past SIT o'clock. They
marched to the Broadgreen Station and arrived in
Liverpool shortly before seven o'clock. After parading
the principal streets in the town, the company pro-
ceeded to the Huskisson Dock, where they dispersed.

THE SHAM FIGHT AT HIGHTOWN ON

SATURDAY.

On Saturday evening, the sth, 4th, 19th, and 39th
divisions of the 2nd battalion of Liverpool Rifles acted
a sham fight among the the sandhills at Hightown,
which have been rented by Lieutenant-Colonel Glad-
stone of Mr. Clarke, at a large rental, for the purposes
of drill practice. The Volunteers were under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Gladstone, Major Tinley,
Captain Tindal Bright, Captain Brady, Captain Crosby,
Captain Maxwell, Captain Griffith, Lieutenants Jones,
Greenshields, Willinck ; Ensigns Brough, Cawker,
Newton, and others whose names we were unable to
ascertain. They, accompanied by a number of friends,
proceeded from Liverpool by a special train, arriving at
Hightown about twenty minutes to five. They were
drawn up in front of the station, placed through their
evolutions, and marched in detachments over the sand-
hills in pursuit of an invisible enemy. A sharp ire was
immediately opened, which was vigorously returned by
the echo. The enemy took to flight, and the skir-
mishers closely followed, tumblisq over the sandhill,
firing now and again with increased vivacity, strewing
the bodies of the plants and flowers in ail dizeetions.
One of the greatest difficulties that armies have to con,.
tend with beset them in a very short time ; it began to
rain, but, great as the difficulty was; it did not damp
the soldiers' ardour in the least. Away they ran, and
forced the invaders to retreat to the bridge that crosses
the river. Here a stout combat occurred. 111,e enemy
was sheltered from the shot by the walls. On this ,
emergency the Major ordered bayonets to be fixed. In
a moment the ranks were tipped with steel, the men
raised a hearty shout, and rushed to the bridge, from
which they drove the enemy, who took shelter again
in their stronghold in an adjoining field. Here
they were followed by the Volunteers, completely van-
quished, and taken prisoners. The men returned to
the train, and arrived in Liverpool OM half-past
eight o'clock.
