. 1. It must be borne in mind' that punctuality is indis-
pensable to all combined movements, and it is of the
utowst importance that each battalion should reach
Knowsley Park before three p.m. 'Flags will be placed to
mark the flanks of the respective brigades as follows :--
For Artillery Brigade . .. Colour, Blue.
„ Ist Brigade

2. Huyton is 21 miles from Knowsley, and, as the
accommodation at the station is very limited, officers
commanding corps are particularly requested to make
arrangements so as to ensure their arriving in KnoWsley
Park in good time.
3. Each battalion will furnish two aides, to be at the
saluting flag by 2.45 p.m., when the majors of brigade
will proceed, accompanied by the battalion aides, to take
up the ground ,for their respective battalions on the
alignment for, review. •
4. The volunteers will remain silent and steady in the
ranks, attentive to the words of command given" by their
own battalion commanders, upon which they are to-act
alone, all other.cominands being precautionary only.
5. Officers are to warn their ,men that spontaneous
cheering is forbidden.
6. The bands of volunteer corps will only play during
the review, as specially arranged. •-
7. Officers commanding battalions will be pleased to
sea that the companies are equalised and that they do
not exceed 25 file each.
A distinct order of march will be issued for corps
leaving the park after the ,review, and no corps is to
leave its position in brigade till ordered to do so by a
staff officer.
9. Officers commanding corps will give to the officers
commanding their battalions accurate states of their
respective corps, and officers commanding battalions
will then fill in one of the enclosed field states, and
hand it on the ground to the major gf his brigade, who
mill.make.a brigade state. By order,
G. B. HARMAN,
Major and Assistant Inspector of Volunteers.

M. BLONDIN.-It appears that the M. Blondin, whose
name was mentioned in connection with the late acci-
dent at Dublin,. is not identical with the Blondin of
Niagara Falls celebrity. This will at once be loan from
the following paragraphiwhich appeared in the Cincin-
nati Gazette,` of Friday, August 10 :-=-" M. Blondia,-the
celebratel tight-rope performer, met with a serious acci-
dent the night before last, during his eihibitionat Chil-
licothe. After dusk he gave a performance of trundling a
wheelbarrow across a rope ; and to make the feat more
terrific, he encircled himself in a blaze of fireworks, which
were ignited simultaneously with his starting. Before
he bad accomplished half his task one of the pieces
prematurely exploded, and set fire to his clothing.
The peril of his situation could not be seen by the
thousands of spectators below, in consequence of the
continued emissions of sparks, and the adventurous
Blondin had nothing to do but walk the rope and.stiffer
the torture of being slowly roasted. Having accomp-
lished the distance, he, by his own efforts,- succeeded in
extinguishing the flames, but not before his back 'was
very badly burned. The rope was stretched across
.a
street, at a distance of 75 feet from the ground, and
none save Blondin could have withstood the Pain that
he must have suffered.. We are inclined to the opinion
that the. Mons. will not attempt any more tight-rope
performances with pyrotechnic concomitants. It is volt
:well to hazard the surging waters of Niagara in hand'
baskets, coffee sacks, ikc.; but shrouded in a sheet of
flame, with a chance of burning to death, added to that
of falling, smacks a little too much of the dangerous to
be much relished even by the intrepid Blondin."

OPENING OF THE HULL PEOPLE'S PARK—OR Mow
day a great demonstration took place at Hull, on the
occasion of planting the first' tree in the People's Park.
The land, twenty-seven acres in extent, had teen given
to the town by Mr. T. C. Pearson, the Mayor of Hull,
and for some time past the festivities in connection with
the ceremony had been anticipated with great interest.
The corporate bodies and most of the artillery and rifle
corps of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire assembled near the
Town-hall about.noon, and the streets round about for
a considerable distance were occupied by the friendly
societies, with their flags, banners, and regalia. These
were formed into a procession, estimated to exteni
over about three miles, and proceeded to the park ground.
The whole procession numbered between 30,000 and
40,000. On the head of the procession arriving in
the park, the brigade was marched round the revieW-
ground and formed into line in front of the platform,
where they remained during the ceremony of the pre-
sentation of the park and the planting of the first tree.
The volunteers having taken the position above described,
and the whole of the bodies forming the procession having
also located themselves, the mayor placed himself in posi-
tion, and, assisted by the clerk to the local board, Mr. 0'
S. Todd, executed the deed of conveyance of the land
to the local board. The land is situated within a mile
and a quarter of the town, in one of the most suitable
localities in the neighbourhood. The.ceremony of the
presentation was followed by the review of the font
battalions by Lord Wenlock. The ranks were then
closed, and the Hull battalions marched to their rendez-
vous, where dinner had been provided by their officers-
The volunteers from a distance were provided with
refreshments, free of expense, in a large marquee in au
adjoining field. When the review, which lasted nearly
half-an-hour, was over, the mayor's guests, to the
number of 200, adjourned to the Station Hotel, where
a sumptuous banquet had been provided. Other fes-
tivities took place in various parts of the town. The
number of people on the ground during the day was
immense.

HoLLow +Vs Prus.—Unusually hot weather in the summer
many: The liver,
months is often productive of unpleasant consequences V)
the stomach, and bowels, in such eases, are
wore or less seriously affected, that the natives of. Englanr,
are, at certain seasons, liable to some of the. disorders Well
range in warm climatet
s. People cannot have a more powerful
curative than Holloway's justly celebrated Pills. They coo
and purify the blood, and render the system less liable to an)
sort of irregularity ; or, when disease is present, they abate its
force, and at last totally destroy it. Dysentery, hilliousuesv,
acidity of stomach, sick headache, and debility soon disapPe'l
before a course of the admirable Pills.
NEW INVENTION.—TNE NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.---A gTeater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with---the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve'
scents the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudball
and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but Wee;
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means °f
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this belle'
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without-sing.chQu,e of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minute;
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description,
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it '0,1:
be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. Vi`
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr, E. T, Hallo
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour,
