THE FORTHCOMING VOLUNTEER

REVIEW.

The following general orders have been issued :

The commanding officers of the metropolitan corps of
which the attendees* at the review has been sanctioned
should make their arrangements so as to insure the punctual
arrival of their respectiveaorps at the railway station at the
hours which have been already notified.
The commanding officers of the country corps of which
the attendance has been sanctioned must make their
arrangements with the railway authorities so as to reach
Slialford Common, near Blackheath, not later than 10 ►m.
Whilst proceeding through the streets of the metropolis
b the railway station, commanding officers are to be
careful in keeping their corps from overlapping any corps
that may be in their front ; and they must arrange their
order of march so as to keep the thoroughfares clear.
When • corps arrives within 100 yards of the railway
rintioo, its band must wane playing.
With a view to ►void codusion at the metropolitan rail-
way stations, a corps is not on any account to approach
within 100 yards of the station unless it is properly told off,
and prepared to enter the carriages on reaching the platform
in regular military formation, nor until the commanding
of has his warrant correctly filled up, and ready for
delivery to the collector at the gate. Neither is a corps to
attempt to enter the station should it arrive there whilst
another corps is engaged in entering. In such auontingency,
, it must halt until the entrance is clear.

The directions of the staff officers at the railway stations
are to be promptly obeyed.
Commanding oificen mast bring with them to the review
field states of their respective corps.
In the cars of ea infantry core, which is joined with others
bittalios on this emu's. tits field otsto is to be_
banded to the officer occarnanding the battalion, to stable
him to make out a field state for the whole betalioa.

The field states of the field batteries of artillery will be
given to the brigade majors of the Royal Artillery, those of
the battalions of infantry will be given to the brigade
majors of the brigades to which they respectively belong.
The whole of the field states will be subsequently col-
lected by an assistant inspector of volunteers.
Nooompany is to be of less strength than 24 files, or of
greeter strength than 32 film .

The number of oompany officers accompanying the troops
is to be strictly limited to three for each company.
It is desirable that battalions should be made op to six
emapaiies, but no bittalioa of less than four companies will,
of any aCODUDI, be ►llowed. The rank mid Me of the infantry
should be provided with blank ammunition at the rate of 20
rounds per man.
" ' .

AmMunition in proportion of 50 rounds per gun will be
served out to the Field Batteries on the ground.
It is recommended that every volunteer should be pro-
vided with a haversack (worn over the right shoulder), and
a water bottle, and that he should carry with him his provi-
sions for the day. It is also most desirable that each should
haves cloak, caps, or great coat. Uniformity of pattern
may be dispensed with on this occasion, provided the gar-
ments are folded neatly and carried in the same way by each
, corps. Officers commanding battalions wall give the order
for their men to cloak when necessary.
On reaching its destination by the railway, each oorps will,
on leaving the carriages, resume its military formation, and
at once Shalford Common, where the force will
arrangedmi to
in bripclee sod divisions.
This hatralioas from London-bridge, Kent, and Swear,
will be brigades! in the order of their arrival at the eastern
extremity of Shalford Common, in columns at quarter
distance right in front, also facing the north, and, with the
rest of the Artillery, will compose the 2nd division.
The battalions from Waterloo, and from Surrey, Hants,
and Berke, will be brigaded on the western part of the
comma., lacing the north, the right resting on the road to
Blackbetth. These, with a proportion of Artillery, will
constitute the Ist division.

After a short halt to refresh the men, each brigade will
more off independeotly. The brigades of the let division
will proceed by the road leading past Old Tang*, and be
brought into position by staff officers on reaching the
plateau.
. . . . - - . . _ _

'ila•bripdee of the 2nd division will move by Little
Tangley lam and Phillip'alsne, and pursue their march
directly to the eastern extremity of the heath.
()Soars oommanding batteries of position will be careful
to move their gnus on to the heath early in the morning of
Monday ; they are sot to leave Shalford later than t 3 o'clock.
The light batteries must also precede the march of the in-
fantry from Shalford by at least one hour. Phillip's-lane. by
which the gnus will be takes, is narrow and somewhat
steep. red the road leading on to the heath ia, for •
quarter of • mile, heavy with sand.
At the conclusion of the field-day, should the general in
command require the force to march past him, the move-
ment will commence from the right of the lit division.
After passing the general, the lot brigade will at once take
toe rued to Guildford, where tbe truism will be ready for tie
return journey. The other brigades of this division will
follow as fu ea Shalford-oommon. where they will occupy
their original ground, but facing the south, and pile arms.
These brigades will move on in succession to Guildford,
under the direction of a staff officer. with as interval of 40
minutes between each brigade. A small field near the
station will be appropriated for their accommodation, sad
from this field battalions will be drawn in succession to the
trains, which will leave every ten minutes.
The 2nd division will occupy its original ground on Shah.
ford-common, but facing the south. and will be drawn to
the trains is sucemion of battalions from the right, under
the direction of • staff officer.

Volunteers who are not with their corps will not be ad-
mitted to the volunteer trains until all corps that are in
military fortustion have left, and they will then be charged
full fare for the return journey.
At the conclusion of the field.day arms are to he sin-
mined, and surplus ammunition collected from the pooches,
in accordance with article IUO of the volunteer regulations.
An officer of competent rank is to remain in command of
every corps, and each company must be in charge of an
officer. Volunteer officers ie command of brigades are re-
quested to wear &crimson silk scarf or sash over the left
shoulder to distinguish their rank.
Upon the order being given for the force to march past
the general. one baud from each brigade is to be sent to the
*eluting point, where they will be arranged in consecutive
order by a staff officer for the purpose of playing while their
respective brigades pass. The remaining bands will march
at the head of their own battalions without playing.
As it is intended that the force shall be divided into
attacking and defending divisions, of nearly equal strength,
in order to prevent accidents all officers and non-commis-
cloned officers most lot allow opposing parties to approach
within 10U yards of one another.
