different churchee and chapels in the City. Large numbers
of them also visited the west end of town to view West- ,
mineter Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, whilst in the
after part of the day the several parka were besprinkled

THE FIRST MIDDLESEX. OR VICTORIA RIFLE

CORPS.
After the review in Hyde-park on Saturday the
Victoria Riflemen, whose aspect and performance in the
field (the Harrow Rifles heang also brigaded along with
them) had gained the loudly expressed admiration of the
spectators, marched to their own parade ground at Kilburn,
where their acting commanding officer, Major Whitehead,
onnouneed to them that his Royal Highness the Commander-
in-Chief was pleased to signify his especial approval of this
fine body of volunteers. They then sat down to dinner
under a spacious marquee. The loyal and patriotic toasts
were duly proposed by Major Whitehead, who occupied the
chair in the absence of the Duke of Wellington, colonel of
this regiment. He said that with such a spirit as the men
bad all displayed that morning, and such willing obedience
to the word of command, he would be ready to lead them
anywhere, and he was prouder of having been elected
their officer than of any other position he had ever
held in his life. The toast of the " Mmy and
Navy " was responded to by Major-General Parr, who, after
an active service of forty years in mane a distant clime,
bad entered himself as a private is the !farrow Volunteers.
He said that he bad seen every description of troops of
which the British army was composed, and he bad seen
none better than these • and the noble scene exhibited in
the Park that day would be remembered in history as long
as England should endure. On behalf of the navy, the toast
was acknowledged by Lieutenant Pre, formerly of the
Hoe. East India Company's naval service, le the absence of
Admiral Sir John Best. The royal army was also repre-
sented by Captain Geddes and by Captain Templar, of the
Harrow corps, who very warmly enlised the Victoria
Rifles for their seal in taking the lead of the Middlesex
volunteer movement, as well as for their soldierly behaviour
in the morning, which had elicited even from the most
fastidious Guardsmen repeated applause. He proposed the
" Health of the Duke of Wellington, Prosperity
to this corps." The chairman having reipended, the next toast
was the "United Volunteer Corps of Euglaud," to which Mr.
John Fletcher, of the West Middlesex, and Dr. Burke
Ryan, of the South Middlesex, briefly replied. The health
of the excellent adjutant, Mr. Trees (sergeant-major of the
royal army), was drunk with great cordlahty, as well as that
of Major Clifford, the paymaster, and of Captain Greenhill,
to whoop exertions for several years past the Victoria Rifle
Craps is mainly indebted for its strength and good order.
It may not, perhaps, be generally known that this
which was established in 1863 by the members of the corps,
Victoria Rifle Club, arising out of the disbanded volunteers
of the great war time, takes precedence of all the volunteers,
in England. except those of South Devon, who claim a few
months' priority of formation. The Honourable Artillery
Company of London, which exists by charter, is not
strictly re;ardad as on the same footing with the volunteer
forces now relied. An application has been made to add
the word " Royal" to the official title of the Victoria Rifle
Corps, which favour it is hoped the crown will be advised
to pent.

Haymarket, was honoured with permierion to take
