Lieut.-Colonel Wards, aa experienced officer of the lime,
was reviewed in Hyde-park by his Royal Highness the
Doke of Cambridge, the honorary colonel of the regiment.
At the close of the evolutions, which lasted about an hour,
the brigade was formed into square, and the Commander-
in-Chief with his Staff rode into the centre. His royal
highness, addressing them, said the test to which they
had that day been subjected was a moat Home one. There
was hardly a maincurre, he should think, to be found
is the droll book which they had not executed, and
all he could say was that he should be perfectly 'Walled
if he always new regiments that could drill half se well.
Throeghout the whole of the very difficult movements sot
• noels mistake had been made, nor had there been the
slightest noise or cant axiom, sod altogether the whole sluice
of *volutions had been performed with a regularity end pre.
chaos meeadiegly creditable to the brigade and to the o•
is command. The orders of the colonel in command were

and on the whole he was Dever more pleased with any drill.
He meet say also that he Dever new an offioer in command of a
