THE EDINBURGH VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

EDINBURGH, Tuesday Evening.
The great review by the Queen, of the Scottish volun-
teers in Holyrood Park this day, has pssed off with the

utmost success. The weather was dull in the morn-

ing, and showery about noon, but after two o'clock the
day was fine, with warm sunshine and a light breeze
from the west, and, excepting immense clouds of

dust that swept over the review ground, there

was nothing to mar the comfort of those
engaged. It was half-past three o'clock before the entire
line was formed, nearly three-fourths of the volun-
teers having had to make the journey from home
that morning, and, owing to the immense pressure on
the railways, several of the arrivals were very late.
It is believed that the volunteers under arms con-
siderably exceeded the returns previously made, and
numbered from 21,000 to 22,000 men, besides from
2,000 to 3,000 that were present as spectators,
the latter including numerous men of the London
Scottish; Her Majesty left Holyrood at half-past
three o'clock, attended by a most brilliant retinue. The
Duchess of Kent, at present residing at Crammond-
house, occupied the carriage with her Majesty,
along with the Princess Alice and Pthrce Arthur. The
Prince Consort and the Duke of Buccleuch rode on
either side of the carriage. In attendance on her
Majesty were Generals Scarlett, Airey, and C. Grey,
the Marquis of Tweeddale, and other military officers
of high rank ; and in the suite were observed Mr.
Sidney Iletert, the Earl of Wemyss, the Marquis
of Stafford, 111,1'., Lord Polworth, Lord Belhaven,
the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, dec. The Marquis
of Breadalbane, the Earl of Rosslyn, and other noble-
men, were in the ranks of the Volunteers, and Lord
Elcho, in the uniform of the London Scottish, was also
upon the field. Behind the saluting flag was a splen-
didly-decorated gallery, containing about 4,000 specta-
tors ; but it was upon the hills opposite that the great
coiicotlrse took place. The vast and varied gathering
could not be estimated at less than 200,000 persons.
The volunteer army was Commanded in chief by
General Sir George WetheraN, and the two divi-
sions respectively by Lord Roket,y and General
Cameron. There were about 150 differ-at corps on
the ground, marshalled into 35 battalions--one of
Mounted Rifles, six of Artillery, one of Engineers.,
and 27 of Rifles. There was the utmost variety of
uniform 'from dark gray—which a large proportion of
the earliest formed corps, including the Edinburgh
battalions, had adopted—to the light gray, approved
by Government, and in which many of the more recently
formed corps were clothed. The marching past of this
immense body of volunteers occupied exactly an hour
and twenty minutes, having commenced at four o'clock.
Towards the close, and throughout the passing of
the second division, the clouds of dust continued
to increase, and to a considerable exteirg marred the
beauty of the display. The marching past being con-
cluded, a lengthened pause took place, during which
the whole line was put in order to advance. At length
Gen. Wetherall gave the command, which was repeated
by the commanders throughout the line, and communi-
cated still more instantaneously by the sound of the
bugle. The whole army then simultaneously moved
forward until the bugle called a halt. The officers then
saluted with their swords, and the whole line presented
arms. The final command given was three cheers for
the Queen, and instantaneously was the command re-
sponded to, and echoed from one end of the line to the
other. The cheer, which was caught up with still
louder acclamation by the spectators on the hill-side,
was tremendous and overpowering, and continued almost
without intermission for several minutes. At a quarter
before six Her Majesty left the ground, followed by the
renewed acclamations of the entire multitude.

THE VICTORIA CROSS,

(Ftsin Friday's Gazette.)

WAR-OFFICE, August 3.—The Queen has been
graciously pleased to signify her intention to con-
fer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the
undermentioned officers of Her Majesty's Indian
forces, whose claims to the same have been sub-
mitted for Her Majesty's approval, in considera-
tion of their gallantry and distinguished conduct
during the operations of the expeditionary force
in Persia in 1856-7, as recorded against their
several names, viz.:—

20th Bombay Native Infantry.—Capt. John Augustus
Wood. On the 9th of December, 1856, Captain Wood
led the Grenadier company, which formed the head of
the assaulting column sent against Bushire. He was the
first man on the parapet of the fort, where he was in-
stantly attacked by a large number of the garrison, who
suddenly sprang on him from a trench cut in the parapet
itself. These men fired a volley at Captain Wood and
the head of the storming party when only a yard or two
distant from that officer, but, although Captain Wood
was struck by no less than seven musket balls, he at once
threw himself upon the enemy, passed his sword through
the body of their leader, and, being closely followed by
the men of his company, speedily overcame all opposi-
tion, and established himself in the place. Captain
Wood's decision, energy, and determined valour, un-
doubtedly contributed in a high degree to the success of
the attack. His wounds compelled him to leave the
force for a time ; but, with the true spirit of a good
soldier, he rejoined his regiment and returned to his
duty at Bushire before hiS wounds were properly healed.
3rd Bombay Light Cavalry.—Lieutenant and Adju-
tant Arthur Thomas Moore and Lieutenant John Grant
Malcolmson.—On the occasion of an, attack on the
enemy on the Bth February, 1857, led by Lieutenant-
Colonel Forbes, C. 8., Lieutenant Moore, the Adjutant
of the Regiment, was, perhaps, the first of all by a
horse's length. His horse leaped into the square,
and instantly fell dead, crushing down his rider, and
breaking his sword as he fell amid the broken ranks of
the enemy. Lieutenant Moore speedily extricated him-
self, and attempted with his brokea sword to force his
way through the press ; but he would assuredly have
lost his life, had not the gallant young Lieutenant
Malcolmson, observing his peril, fought his way to his
dismounted comrade through a crowd of enemies to his
rescue, and, giving him his stirrup, safely carried him
through everything out of the throng. The thought-
fulness for others, cool determination, devoted courage,
and ready activity shown in extreme danger by this
young officer, Lieutenant Malcolmson, appear to have
been most admirable, and to be worthy of the highest
honour.

Her Majesty has also been graciously pleased
to signify her intention to confer the decoration
of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned sea-
man of the Royal Navy, whose claim to the same
has been submitted to her Majesty's approval, in
consideration of an act of bravery which he per-
formed in the recent operations against. the rebel
natives in New Zealand, as recorded against his

name, viz.:—

William Odgers, leading seaman of her Majesty's ship
Niger.—On the 28th of March, 1860, William Odgers
displayed conspicuous gallantry at the storming of a
pah during operations againct rebel natives in New
Zealand ; having been the first to enter it under a heavy
fire, and having assisted in hauling down the enemy's
colours.
