THE FORTHCOMING VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

The volunteer review to be held in Hyde-perk
oa Saturday next, in boson: of the Queee's birthday. bids
fair to outrival, so far as numbers ars concerned, that which
took place before her Majesty in patens in June, 1860.
From the official Peters =die from the War-olice et rep-
petite which have received enmities to take part in the
review, the gross numbers, it appears, amount to 21,273,
viz.—Cavalry, 106 ; Artillery, with 86 gene, 2,137 ; En-
gineers, 458; sod Volunteer Rifle Corp, 18,537. Oa the
previous ocaudoo the numbers only amounted to a little over
over 144,000, bet it most be *banned that on this ocomicsi,
in addition to the metropoliiiin valuation, there is a much
larger number of provincial volunteers corps for which
sanction boa been applied for and obtained than there was in
1860.

The present arrangements sre that the line is to be formed
by five o'clock by brigades stationed in column at quarter
distance, extendiag bones the plateau of Hyde-park from
south to north, the frost facia; to the east; the cavalry
sad artillery being stationed as the right flank, over towards
Hyde-pirk•corner, whilst the left dank will rest oil the
northern boundary of the park, westward of the Marble-
arch. The flagstaff and 'eluting motet will be in the same
patties u it was whoa her Majesty reviewed the volun-
teers, namely, needy opposite Medley-house, Park-lane.
It his not yet been determined whether soy galleries shell
be erected, bat under any cirennsateisees is is understood
that there will be • large portion of the park enclosed, to
which mizsissios will be obtained by tickets. The much*
pest it is expected will take pleas es war to six o'clock as
pi:sable. The inspection will he made by his Royal High-
era the Prince of Wales, who will be accompanied by his
Royal Higbee= the Commuider-in-Chid sad a &tumorous
mUary staff, and will occupy nearly an hour. After
marching peat, the tespeetive regiments will at once march
a the ground in their respective dinettes so as to prevent
Goal oda), and the whole prooseduip of the review will be
brought to a close before eight &deck.

NEW ROUTE TO HOLLAND.

The Avalon, the first vessel of a fleet of powerful
Assam, which the Great Hastens Railway Camps., are
building for a dolly steam service between the port of Har-
wich and Rotterdam, took her trial trip on Saturday, pre-
paratory to being placed at the station for which she is
destined. The Great Eastern fleet, wbee completed, will
consist of six ships, three of which are for the incommode-
tioo of passengers exclusively, and the others for the con-
veyance of cattle and general merchandise. The Avalon is
of,the former clam, and is one of the most complete pas-
senger baste we have seen. Her bull is of iron, and her
framework is deeigeed with that regard to strength which
is necessary to enable her to ocetend soonest idly with the
heavy eau which are otiossiosally to be encountered between
our own and the Dutch coasts. Her measurement is 829 toes
builders' tonnage, and she registers 600 toes ; and she
is propelled by a pair of splendid engines of 220-hone
power. Her salcom, cabins, and berths are spacious, light,
well ventilated, and comfortable. tike has sooommodation
