the War-office to superinteed the departed and by
the railway authorities, were ported, and the order •
am Wady with which the various cone, se they
arrived, were marched on to the platform, showed •
comicknble improvement on former years. Although up-
wards of 9,000 troops were despatched from the station
dais two hours there was not the slightest hitch or
wham

des, to say that although they had been on foot needy the
lade sight, and travelled up by the GredEastern at dearly
dor, they appeared as fresh aid vigorous es their metro-
politan brethren, who had enjoyed the advantage of a much
Low rat and • much shorter march.
The great majority of the corps carried haversacks well
Mod with " creature comforts."
The regular and extra dad to Brighton were loaded with
wearers.

A onsiderable number of spectators had also mumbled
ea early hour at the Viotoria-station, Pimlico, from

motherly hearing were the Victoria% the Queen's Westmin-
ster (who mustered nearly 800 men in the two battalions),
the South %Mau, the London Sottish, the 29th Mid-
dlesex, and the St. Georgia, all of whom were

nests In all nearly 6,000 volunteers were conveyed from
