GENERAL Wri`HERNLVS AIJDRESK.

The order for moufitedoliersto the front was then
pfterii and these commanding Alex formed a circle,
ifi flYemiddle of which was the Earl of Derby, as well
as the e- enetal. Sir George, after the officers had
assumed their respective positions, said-15entlemen,
commanding afficers,.l wish to express to you the entire
satisfaction which 1 have received, and which everbcaly
else must have received, at this display. I am sure
everybody who witnessed it mitt be eonvinced as well
as I am of the extraordinary progress which these
regiments have made towards the attainment of those
FM& movements, which are essential to actual war ;
mtari the formation of column and the development
into line. I dill sorry I could not get you into line
here, for mei MY iron/ens mass of men would require
upwards of two miles in which to make an attempt. I
have had many typortunities of witnessing the great
progress that rifle volunteers have made, and I am sure
nothing can' exceed it; it loceps pace with the most
sanguine Lis; I am sure, of every Englishman. I
cannot tell yet, how proud I am to be associated with
you at this patriotle gathering; and I don't think we
can better conclude thi6 gathering than by expressing
our thanks in the good of hearty English manner for
the princely hospitality of ant nbhl host to whom we
are indebted for this gratifying spectacle. (Loud
appfitust,) I beg that you will be g'otaf enough to move
your battalions tp their original positions, and carry oat
those orders for their refreshment whielV have been
sb' explicitly laid dawn. The varions officers
amordinkly returned to their former positions, and
the toltinteeis under their command gave three
hearty cheers fot the- princely hospitality of their
host. The spectators' responding with one long and
deafening cheer, the liffe of which was never heard
before within the noble graantl of Knowsley. Arms
were immediately filed, and the volunteers proceeded to
partake of the refreshments so prafehely supplied to
them, after which the spectators began to. take their
departure, thoroughly delighted with the gold sight
which they witnessed, and which will be long remem-
bered by them as one of the brightest and most gloribt%
days in the history of the present volunteer movement.
THE COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.

The' volunteers, the yeomanry, and the police were
proVided for amply, and shared in the hospitality of the
notsie kart. Some idea may be formed of the profusion
displayed mitt's' occasion when we say that the eatables
exceeded fiVa tons in weight, and the ale measured 50
hogsheads; TweivO thousand veal and ham pies of
14 ounces each were conked by Mr. Morrish, of the
Yietebants' Dining-rooms. Ten Outs were erected
behind egth battalion; anti' the tit:witty apportioned to
each was served out ;theft: to whale was under the
management of hit. Mortish, and it is but justice to
add that he managed it cteditably indeed.
The following orders were imised
At the close. of the review, officers eommanOirg-
batidttei will send an officer to take charge of the tent
specially ftici, off to his battalion, and will direct the

PRESENTATION OF GARIBALDI'S. SON
TO THE COUNTESS OF DERBY.
During the review, the son of the renowned General
Garibaldi, who had been staying with a friend in York-
shire, was recognised by one of the spectators near the
stand, erected for the noble Earl's family and the
invited guests at Knowsley-hall. At once three cheers
were clenianded for Garibaldi, and it is scarcely
necessity td say that it was heartily responded to.
These dints haring reached the stand, several ladies
expressed a Asire" to see cite son of the liberator of Italy,
upon which the proprietor •of the Liverpool Daily
Times, immediately prmetit2d the young gentleman to
the Countess of Derby aria the Lady Emma Stanley.

THE COLLEGIATE
As this corm entered the ground,
terms f
steadyy
rode up to them and spoke in hit'
uniform, and complimented them upon-
,gazsigned
to
marching. When they reached the position
the first battalion, Lieutenant-Colonel Boustib'.tcly who
has lately inspected and assisted in their school
drill,
told off tifty.to form a tenth company to his battalOn•
The reminneter were then marched to the opposite side'
of the grounds, and remained there during the day under
the command of Setgeant-Major Thornbury, their drill
instructor, and Some of their masters. The appearance
of the lads was all that could be wished—well disciplined,
healthy, and happy. The fifty who rharched before the
reviewing officer were as steady as any company on the
ground, and elicited great applause, which, no doubt,
arose partly from their juvenile yet soldier-like appear-
ance, under the command of the son of a clergyman
formerly of Liverpool (the Rev. Mr. Cordeanx), bat
more especially from the fact that it is to our lads that 1
we must look for England's future strength. We made
inquiry from one of the masters present as to whether
he found the drill interfering with the work of the
school, and his reply convinces' us that, irrespective of
the movement being a national one for defence, it is
of great benefit to the boys. He said—" We find it
eminently conducive to health ; it inculcates instant
obedience to command. Delicate boys cannot work
hard ; robust boys can, and we get greater attention to
our instruction, and obtain more satisfactory results there-
from, when classes are drilled than when they are not."
TWo gentlemen on the field this day must have been
more gratified at what they there beheld than perhaps
any others. We allude to Lieutenant-Colonel Boustield
and Mr. Michod, the headmaster of the Lower School,
The former was the first to embody, and keep together
foixnany years, the only rifle corps in Liverpool; the
latter was the first to introduce drill into the Collegiate
Institution. More than eleven years since he asked his
pupils to' subscribe half a crown each, and by that
means a drill sergeant was hired, and in time its good
effect upon the boys was observed in his school, when
the principal introduced it into the Upper School;
there also it was found beneficial, and now it is to be
added to the duties of the Middle School.

That these two gentleinen should be seen by us,
most cordially shaking hands, on Saturday, was, from
our knowledge of these facts, very gratifying, inasmuch
as we know they were silently and unostentatiously
viewing the results of this forethought and perseverance.
That three omnibuses, closely packed inside and out
with young lads, should travel without accident both
journeys, and on such an occasion, when so many
thousand were congregated together, is a proof of the
excellent management of the secretary, Mr. S. G.
Jones, and we congratulate our townsmen upon their
having such an institution in which to educate their
children.
