THE VISIT OF TES ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS

TO BELGIUM.

(Thom ♦ corunnvownearr.)
BRUSSRLS, FRIDAY Mon Fa.
Yesterday afternoon the volunteers mustered
in the Place du Musee to the number of about 900 or 1,000
strong, bent upon seeing Antwerp, and upon showingthent-
selves in that ancient town. Before they started Colonel
Lindsay addressed the forte with respect to making ar
rangements for receiving the Belgians next year in Rag-
land, and he took occasion to observe that his great pride
in commanding this novel invading army was greatly
heightened by the gentlemanly behaviour of all the volun-
teers who had placed themselves under his command—
behaviour which he hoped would be followed to the end.
The force marched to the Station du Nord, headed by
the excellent band of the First Surrey Rifles. First class
carriages were provided for the whole force, and officers
and men were sent off in three trains. At Antwerp they
found the station filled with the Garde Civique, the regi-
mental bands of which immediately struck up the English
National Anthem, followed by the Brabanconne. The
volunteers fell into their divisions in the beet order, and again
marched forth amid the most enthusiastic cheering of the
military and the populace. The first place of visit was
the Zoological-gardens, after inspecting which the volun-
teers marched through the streets of the fine old city.
Passing through cheering crowds, they came beneath
the celebrated cathedral, from the stately tower
of which the bells pealed forth " and save the Queen"
and the Brabanconne, alternately. They next came to a
stand in front of the magnificent Hotel de Ville, where the
officers fell out, to be received by the city authorities, and
the men dispersed for a couple of hours to seek for refresh-
ment.

The mustering place was the station, at 7 o'clock,
but the volunteers no sooner got there than they were
fraternally seized by the garde civique, Lad carried
off to a host Hof amusements provided for them. The
theatres were opened to them free, and they were
also entertained in a splendid hall, at the fete
of an artistic society. There was a grand concert,
and presently Colonel Lindsay, Lord Bury, and the
president and officers of the society, arrived. Speeches
were made on all sides, and the utmost enthusiasm pre-
vailed. After spending an hour here the volunteers were
seised hold of and taken to a concert of the Royal Har-
i monic Society, given in • magnificent hall. The cere-
monies were to have closed with a grand torch light pro-
cession, but when I left for the railway station at a very
late hour this had not taken place.
Previous to the departure for Antwerp a meeting of
volunteer officers was held at the Mess-room of the English
Volunteers, Belle Vue Hotel, at 11.30 a.m., for the pur-
pose of organising arrangements for the suitable recep-
tion of the Belgians at Wimbledon in 1867, and also
for making arrangements connected with the visit of
volunteers to Belgium neat year. Resolutions for carry-
ing out these objects were unanimously adopted. Colonel
Lindsay presided.

Fua RATING OF MACHINERY. —A Cane involving
an important question as to rating machinery in silk mills
and similar factories was decided on Thursday at the
Essex sessions at Chelmsford. Maws. Courtauld, the
extensive silk and crape manufacturers, appealed against
an advance of the rate on their mills at Plahtead from
613 f. 15s. to 2,400/. by the Union Assessment Committee.
The Solicitor-General was specially retained by the appel-
lant'. The question was whether, besides the steam-
engines and !ankh, which created and conveyed the motive
power (which it was admitted were rateable), the ether
machinery which utilised the power was liable to meow
ment. There were the winding, throwing, warping, and
other machines, and also the power looms; and because
these were fixed to the floors, as it was said, for the
simple purpose of steadying them, it was contended they
became permanent improvements of the freehold,
essential to its working and value, and therefore rateable.
Witnesses were called from the manufacturing districts,
who all stated that this clan of machinery was never
rated ; they did not know a single case of rating of the
kind at Manchester, Macclesfield, or Congleton ; and it was
admitted by the respondents that they could not produce
bk. BILIOUS and LIVER PILLS, rgiahcasethine which iltewas rated, but they now came to este-
that it ought to be. The Solicitor-
