Late yesterday the promised faineant arrived
at Pertementh from Gemmel Limbay, and was to
the following effect :—" Genteel /Andre; accepts year

Portsmouth will be the Ist Middlesex, and these will be
met by Lieutenant Galt and the bed Roots Artillery corps
at Ribes on Good Friday afternoon, when a large atm.
berof the iskabileals are expected to oeuvre's*. The
licecarable Artillery Oempasy are expected ea Saturday,
and will accompany the /layer and CorPotuddo, to "
Thomas's Church on Sunday. We are secured that there
rim every prospect of an abcindanoe of accommodation, and
that the charges am, generally spealdng, exceedingly
moderate. The arrangements for the flat and
seseplechase races on denthosaimemon on Easter
Tuesday are progressing favourably, end shield the

principal railway stations.

- The deeision above referred to has produced an amount
of setisfaction among the metropolitan volunteers generally
which it is now confidently anticipated will go far to ob-
viate the large diminution in the numbers at the anneal
display, which it wee presaged in well-informed quarters
would be the result of the bungling which almost at the last
moment characterised the arrangements. It cannot be dis-
guised that wide-epreed dissatisfaction hat existed among the
vehuiteere rime Saturday lest, is consequence of the an-
aennoement that a " march past " wee to be the only pert
of the original programme to be gene through, and there
is little doubt that had not this been altered there would
, have been, notwithstanding the advice tendered by the
' mennunding officers to the men under them to go no met-
I ter what the ehenge, a pereeptible Marshes in the num-
, bees. The metropolitea volunteers argued, and with ap-
parent reason, that a " search past" to them amid be
better performed in Hyde-park, without going 90 miles for
it, and being under arms the greater pert of a day and
night. This view of the matter, however, was discouraged
by the commending °Boer and it is satisfactory to all
that there will be new no funks, need le eatarisia tL
Tiodey tbe lost batch of niumaiere will isms fiords&
ler Portsmouth by reed sad rail. ?me or three arliiimp
regiments will mareb down with their guns honed,.. in
former years they have marched to Brighton, Dover,
Farley Heath, ho. The Hon. Artillery Company of Lon-
' don will leave their quarters at the Artillery-ground,
Finsbury, and the let Middlesex Artillery, previous to
marching off, will parade in full marching order, with all
the pas, 12 and 18 pounders, hard, at the Wellington-
barracks, St. James's park. The regiment, which will be
under the command of Lieuteasnt-Colonel Creed, late of
her Majesty's Indian Artillery, will first of all march to
the Nine Elms goods station of the London and South
Western Railway, whence it is anticipated the heavy guns
will be conveyed by rail to Portsmouth, after which the
marsh with the field guns, each of which will have four horses,
will commence. The batteries will only travel during the
day, and at the various stages on the journey which have
already been marked oat, they will have to perform all
the duties requisite on seine service, viz., cleaning end
feeding their horses, Gleaning the guns end rriages, ho.
The " Volunteer trains "of the London, Brighten, and
South Coast, and the London and South Western Rail-
ways, by which the tickets issued to volunteers, at 3s. to
°Boers, and IL 6d. to men, for ceeveyance to Portsmouth
land bask, will be available, will semmence to-day, and it
lie expected they will convey • large number of the " ad-
vanced guard," se they are called, or, in fact, thew who
will go down to prepare for the arrival of the troops, and
get the temporary heed-quarters which have base estab-
lished in proper order. There will be three trains from
Waterloo, let, 2nd, and 3rd class, the firs* at 1 o'clock,
the mama at bait-put 3, and the third at 7
o'clock at night. Prom Victoria there will be two trains,
one at 3 o'clock and the other et 36 minutes poet 6, and
from London-bridge, at 3 o'clock, and 8.45.
Yesterday was the last day on whist applications for
tickets for the volunteers mold be entertained by
either of the railway eompames and it was stated
that up to noon about 30,000 were issued, includ-
ing them for the provincial esepe, of Olonmetershire,

particularly Ask can only be used by volunteers in
