ARRANGEMENTS AT BRIGHTON FOR THE
VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

(From the Brig/don Examiner of this day.)
The land in the amphitheatre in sufficiently uo-
du'ating and diversified to satisfy the soldiers who cry out
agape the " Turkey carpet " elms of ground. The site
is nearer the Stand than any of the others, exempt
Lord Clyde's circumscribed field in Rifle Butt valley. It
is almost entirely turf, and will admit of staff
movements being carried en safely and ezpeditionaly.
The several model of return from the ground were
explained,—and the party returned by one of them,
—that to the north of the cemetery. lodeed, we
think when the volunteers esperiesoe the good of Oa
Beriordien site they will be more is favour of Brighton
than ever. The ground has been only overlooked ao long
by the anxiety to have the movements in front of the
Grand Stand. This site lee to the north, bat, aa we have
•iid, is nearer than any of those lately need to the
last. It is within an boors' walk from the railway station.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hawkins. es r•Prseentatirs of
the Railway Company, undertakes, we believe, that if
the men are ready to hand at the Loodonetatione
he will bring them down to Brighton at the rate of 8,000
so hour. It is also understood that officers and men alike
are to be brought down here and taken back main to Loa-
don for the uniform charge of Is. 6d. per heed, and that the
tickets will be available on and from the Thursday in Holy
week (April 13) till the Wednesday in Easter week (April
19). The ansagameote for wavering banes, guns, leo.,
are on au equally liberal scale.
The Town Committee met yesterday, when measures
were concerted for organisiog • subroription fund to meet
the liabilities of the review. Already the Taco Com-
mittee have decided on setting aside 2241. for distribution
in two prize meetings—one en the Saturday preceding,
