Tire !A%.tL REVIEW. —Great activity 18 being
shown in this dockyard in bringing forward the ships
which are to take part in the review at Spithead. The
\Carrior, Black Prince, Valiant, and Mersey are alongside
the diickyard, and they are all in a forward state of
preparation. The crew of the Black Prince will be turned
over to the Warrior to-morrow, and the former will after-
wards receive a supernumerary crew f rnm the Duke
of Wellington and other ship.; in harbour. At pre-
sent the only ships at Spithead that will
take part in the review are the Victoria, screw three-
decker, and the Gladiator, paddle sloop. Yesterday after-
noon the Liverpool, 39, screw frigate, Captain John See-
oombe, and the Phoebe, 35, screw frigate, Captain John
Bythesea. V.C., passed through Spithead from the west-
ward, and continued their voyage up ChanneL
The arrangements to be made by the civic autho-
rities with the view of giving local eclat to the event
are in a great measure dependent upon the answers which
the Sultan may give to the despatches to be delivered to
his Imperial Highness in Paris, and until those answers
have been received no definite steps can be taken here.
We understand that the government has chartered five of
the largest steamers belonging to the Peninsular and
Oriental Company, for the use of Lords, Commons, and
government officials ; and it is also said that the Royal
Mail and other companies at Southampton will despatch
every available ship with passengers to the " scene of
action."

The Malabar, iron screw troopship, intended for service
between Suez and the Indian ports, arrived at Spitheed
yesterday afternoon from Scotland.

THE HYDE-PARK REVIEW.—The following are
the arrangements for the review to take place in Hyde.
park on Friday next, at 11 o'clock, before her Majesty.
Stages are being erected for the diplomatic body and dis-
tinguished foreigners, the members of both houses of par-
liament, the public departments and those of the public
who apply in time to the Board of Works, to which depart-
ment the distribution of the ticket. is altogether confided.
The stages will be arranged in tiers of wide steps, and so
far will be an improvement on the sloping contrivances of
which so much complaint was made on the last similar oc-
casion. In front of these boxes an inclosure will be kept,
to which admission will be by ticket, also to be obtained
from the Board of Works. This inclosure will also be
:pen to persons in uniform, who, however, will not be
llowed to introduce friends with them. No carriagda
will be admitted to the ground, and the only persons on
horseback to be allowed within the inclosure are the ofiloers
actually employed on the staff and the lieutenantioteounties.
The troops on the ground will consist of two batteries of
Horse and two of Foot Artillery, and a battalion of Ma-
rine Artillery ; five regiments of cavalry ; twelve
battalions of foot, comprising one of Engineers, two of
Marines, four of Guards, and five of the line. The follow-
ing are the corps :—Royal Horse Artillery, the B brigade
staff, and the B and E batteries of the B brigade, from
Woolwich ; the let Life Guards ' • 2nd Life Guards, from
Windsor ; the Royal Horse Guards • 3rd Hussars from
Hounslow ; 17th Lancers, from Alde '
hott ; the A and E
batteries Bth brigade Royal Artillery, from Woolwich ; a
battalion of Royal Marine Artillery, from Portsmouth ; a
battalion of Royal Engineers, from Chatham; Grenadier
Guards, 2nd and 3rd battalions ' • Coldstream Guards,
Ist battalion ; Scots Fusilier Guards, 2nd battalion ;
18th Royal Irish, let bsttalion ; 43rd Light Infantry,
44th Regiment, 68th Light Infantry, and 72nd High-
landers, from Aldershott ;• a battalion of Royal
Marine Light Infantry from Woolwich, and another from
Chatham. The 2nd Life Guards and detachments of
Royal Artillery will keep the ground. The household
cavalry will muster about 300, the line cavalry about 4410,
the Guards battalions about (150, the Marine and Engineer
battalions 600, and the line regiments about 500 each; and
the total number on the ground will be between 9,000 and
10,000 men. The early hour has been fixed upon in con-
sequence of the distance which some of the troops will
have to cover on their way home. The cavalry from
Aldershott will camp at Hounslow en route each way. But
this branch of the service will not be represented so
largely as was originally intended, no doubt in oossequence
of the difficulty of moving, and the King's Dragoon
Guards and 15th Hussars accordingly will not be brought
up from Aldershott.

tion of this corps toak place on Saturday evening in Bat-
tersea, by Colonel Wnifht, deputy inspector general of

effective manner, the file firing and marching past, espe-
cially of Captain Clowes' core y, No. 6, affording great
satisfaction to the inspecting officer. The ground was well
kept by a company of the 26th Middlesex, under the com-
mand of Captain Cobham.
