REVIEW AT WARRINGTON.

PRESENTATION OF A SILVER BUGLE.
On Saterday afternoon last a grand review took place
of the Warrington Rifle Volunteer Corps, and several
Liverpool Corps, on the occasion of the presentation of
a silver bugle to the First Warrington Rifle Volunteers
(the Ninth Lancashire), in the field adjoining St. James'
Church, before Lieut.-Colonel Blaekburne, as reviewing
officer, Captain Rathbone acting as commanding officer.
Among the corps from Liverpool was the Mersey
Steel and Iron Works Corps of Artillery Volunteers,
under Captain Clay. This corps assembled at the
Mersey Steel and Iron Works at one o'clock, headed by
their excellent band, under Mr. James Gustavus Penny,
marched to Garston in about thirty-five minutes,
from whence they took the train to Warrington.
On their arrival there, they and the other corps marched
to Warrington Barracks, where thee whole of the
assembled corps were formed into a brigade. The
several hands were marshalled and arrayed under the
command of Mr. J. G. Penny, as the senior bandmaster
present. The brigade then marched to the field, the
various bands playing successively as arranged. As the
troops entered the field, they took up their positions
respectively on the covering points in open column,
They then wheeled into line preparatory to the inspec-
tion. In five minutes after, the reviewing officer was
seen approaching, and having been recognised at a dis-
tance by the commanding officer, the line was called to
attention. As Lieut.-Colonel. Blackburne crossed the
boundary of the field the whole lime presented arms, and
the gallant officer was received by a salute.
The column then wheeled back into open order
and marched past in quick time. They subsequently ;
marched past in quarter distance column. The com-
manding officer then threw out the skirmishers and
put the troops through a great variety of evolutions, the
whole of which were done in a manner that reflected
great credit on the men. The first corps of Warrington
Rifles, on whose account the review was got up, con-
ducted themselves with the most praiseworthy preeision
and steadiness, especially in respect of the readiness
with which they answered to all the bugle calls ; and it

was noted that in taking up their positions and in
hiding themselves from the enemy, they were not to be
excelled in accuracy. The reviewing officer having
inspected the corps, and satisfied himself of their pro-
ficiency, they formed square for the presentation of the
bugle. At this stage of the proceedings the appearance
of the grand stand, the field, and every available point
of view, was magnificent. Many thousands had
assembled, and on or near the grand stand we observed
Mrs. and Mr. Greenall, M.P., and party, the Mayor of
Warrington, Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P., and his son,
Captain Patten, of the Dragoons, Sergeant Nunuertei,
Captain Clare, Captain Molyneux, &c., &c.
Mrs. GREENALL, in presenting the bugle, said :
" Captain Greenall, officers, and men of the 9th Lan-
cashire Volunteer Corps,—l thank you for the oppor-
tunity you have given me of meetimg • you on this
occasion. Believe me that I shall ever associate with
satisfaction the recollection of the proceedings of this
day and the part it is my privilege to take. I have
great pleasure in presenting you with this bugle, which
I beg you will accept as a testimonial of the admiration
with which we ladies regard your loyalty and your
patriotic exertions in our country's cause. Happy is
our Queen, while she lives and reigns in the hearts of a
free and united people, who truly value their freedom.
Should, however, that freedom be attacked, or should
any hostile foe ever aftroach our shores, I doubt not
that English hearts and hands will repel that foe and
establish British independence even more firmly than
before. Accept my most cordial good wishes for the
prosperity of your corps." Captain Greenall receiv,ed
the bugle, and briefly returned thanks. Lieutenant-
Colonel Blackburne then addressed the corps, and
dilated in most complimentary terms on the proceedings
of the day. Three cheers were then given for the Queen,
which was most lustily sustained by the ranks; the
men placing their hats on their bayonets, and each try-
ing to hold his the highest. The cheering was renewed,
and continued so heartily and repeatedly with so much
enthusiasm, that it was some considerable time ere it
subsided. Three hearty cheers were also given for the

and highly praised the volunteers. Three cheers were
then given for the captain commanding and the other
dicers; and three cheers for Mrs. Greenall and the
ladies. At the conclusion, the various corps enjoyed
a splendid measure of hospitality, prepared for them by
order of Mr. Greenall. The silver bugle was splendidly
ornamented with silver tassels ; ggd was exceedingly
well sounded by a little bugler, who gave forth the two
principal calls of the salute and general assembly.
The Mersey Steel and Iron Works Corps returned
by rail to Garston, and marched home to the works,
where they were addressed by Captain Clay, and com-
plimented for their soldierlY den eanour that day. He
referred to the fact that not the slightest irregularity
had been observed iu any of the corps, either from
inebriety or otherwise. He concluded and dismissed the
men by ordering them a slight refreshment at his own
cost, which, from the humorous and kindly way in
which it was directed, evidently produced an im-
pression in the minds of his men that is not to be
measured by the money value of the gift.

(MR.) PUNCHA QUAKER.---Quakerism---QuakerismwAl said, nay

faith has just been manifested, and we should
wonder if there were a revival. A person, proclaiming
himself a Quaker, enters the meeting-house of his and
the Friends, near Gracechurch-street (in pious conver-
sation they call it Graee-steeple-house-street), and pro-
ceeds loudly to animadvert, lin the most personal manner,
upon divers members of the society there present. One
he explained to be a wolf, another an owl, and the third
a deceiver, adding other illustrations of character. 411 d
his justification was, he said, that it was a Quaker
doctrine that you should always speak your mind. It
occurs to Friend Punch that Fiiend Bright is the
founder of this new sect of Quakers. Their practice is
very much in his style. Doe* he want a good-looking
convert who delights to speak his mind ? If sq, verily

LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY.

(Before Mr. RAFFLES.)

ASSAULTING AND OBSTRUCTING THE POLICE,

Anthony Gallagher and Harriet Walsh. were charged by police
officer 625 for assaulting him and for being drunk and disor-
derly ; and Mr. William Lynas, late of the firm of Lynas and
Haman, of Richmond-row, brewers, was charged by the same
officer for obstructing him in the discharge of his duty. From
the statement of the officer, it appeared that Gallagher was in
Collingwood-street the previous evening drunk, and he saw
him Etriking several persons with a basket, and, as he refused
to desist, he took him into custody. Walsh then came up and

struck him several times with a brick which she held in her
hand ; he let go the man and took the woman into custody,
and as he was taking her to the station Mr. Lynes came up,
and used bad and abusive language, and a crowd collected,
when he endeavoured to excite them to rescue the woman,
saying 1,: was a d-- shame for so many persons to allow her
to be taken. Mr. Lynas,denied the latter portion of the officer's
statement, and said he had hold of the woman by the hail of
the head and was dragging her furiously, and he could bring
witnesses to prove his statement. All the parties were then
allowed out on their own recognisance to Monday, in order to
produce witnesses.
