THE EASTER MONDAY VOLUNTEER REVIEW:

What may be considered almost the final arrange-
menus for the forthcoming Easter Monday Valuer.? Re-
view were completed on Saturday, under the directre of
Colonel Erakies, Inspector-General of Volunteers, so far as
the military department is (immersed. and by Lira... Colonel
G. Hawkins, duffle manager, and Mr. Turner, of the same
department of the London end Brightea Railway, with re-
spect to the transit of the volunteers and the general public
to and from Brighton on the amnia, of the Fith sod oo the
enrolee of that day after the review. The local arrow-
meats of the Brighton corporation for prose •• tad loser
log clear the line of routs of the volunteers through the
town have been entrusted to Mr. G. E. White, high con-
stable of the Brighton borough polio', under the mysteries
of Mr. Brigden, the mayor, sad a committee of admire
sod members of the corporation. The chief command will
devolve on Major•Gmeral Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.B.
The iofentry will consist of two divisions, one to be under
Major-General Russell, C. 8., from Shorncliffs, and It is
expected the other under Brigadier-Grand Ellioe, from
Aldershott. The infantry brigades will be nine I. number,
viz., let, under command, as brigadier, of Viscount Rene-
lagh 2nd, Lord Eloho ; 3rd, Earl i'Gromenor ; 4th, Lord
EAdationk • fdh,_Bargida Domed ; 6th, Lieut.-Colonel
G. E. Thoroid;Tth, Lieut.-Word T. E Biggs ; Bth, Lieut.-
Coleco! Viscount Bury 9th. Lieut.. Colonel C. Dunsmore.
The artillery will consist of four brigades, uoder the com-
mand of Gamma Ormsby, 8.A., sod comprise so Ws than
4$ guns—the largest display of artillery ever made at any
previous volunteer renew. These guns consist of eight
&pounders, fourteen 9-pounders, twenty-two 18-pounden,
and four 24-posoders. Now that the returns are, it is
believed, folly completed, the total number of volunteers
who have received permission to attend the review reach
a total of over 22,000 of all ranks, which exceed theme of
any previous year. It is understood that the brigades have
been &arid pearly is the order in which they will arrive
in Brightest, tamely, the Ist division of the let Brigade, on
annul at Brightoo, taking up its position on the extreme
north of the level ; the other brigades as they anne heist
formed in regular order southward, throughout the gene-
ral link of enclosures which reach from the level to the
Steyoe. There is some doubt, however, where the brigades
will be formed, but Mr. Wyld's plan • with the In.
formation derived from the Brighton I authorities. By
this arrangement it appears there will be some alight de-
elation is the line of route. The various corps will re-
'tremble in the enclosure, extending from the level to the
Stays., and when the signal gun for marching is bred,
the whole farce will move off by toms right in front,
marching from the north level no the wen side of the en-
closures ; and instead of the left of the Pavilion, through
the palace grounds, Castle-square, and west side of the
Old Steppe, up the Mariairmrade, to Bedford street,
up Bedford-street to the east aide the Queen's-park at the
south end of the racecourse, when the brigades are to be
formed previous to marching past the Grand Stand. Alter
passing alms the racecourse, which forms part of the
western ridge of the White Hawk Valley. and immediately
facing the White Hawk Down, the defending form, which
it is believed will be the first division, will continue it.
march directly northward over the doges by the windmill
and western side of Lower Beveodean ; whilst the wood
division, attacking force, oar reaching the northern end of
the racecourse at a point near the windmill, will wheel to
the right, and talcs up their position oil the ridge forming
those ponies' of the downs known as Upper Bevendean.
So soon as these muitions shall have been attained by the
troops the public will be permitted to pass along the race-
course to the still higher ridge running from the northern
eod of the White Hawk Down, sod forming the end of the
Sheepcote Valley. where the ride butte are situate. The
whole of the upper ridge between tipper 13eveodeen and the
Wanes Farm, and extending to New Market-bill, is also to
be appropriated to spectators. It will be well, however, to
warn the public that if they really wish to see the review
they will better result their own gratification by re-
roaming in the positions reigned to them than by
pretties in upon the volunteer'. With respect to
the let Middlesex Artillery, a novel feature in con-
nection with the review is contemplated. The light
cisitaydstachments of this corps, with the 9-pounder
tai baggage waggons, will leave Wellington Bar-
racks for Driglitoe on Thursday next, at three pm.. under
the command of Major H. F. Smith and Captain .1. B.
Monkton. Captain Adams (Adjutant) and Lieutenants
Kahle and Whichcord will also accompany the mach.
Croydon will be reached between six and seven in the same
evening. Crawly ab.,ut the game time, on Friday, as the
start from Croydon will not take place till after Divine ser-
vice, and it is expected the battery will march intoßrightan
about four p.m. cie Saturday afternoon. Should the pre-
sent firs weather continue, the Easter Monday Volunteer
Review of 1865 may be looked forward to as the most
brilliant and interesting that has yet taken plate.—
