After forming a line of brigade, ehe E,arl of
Harrington, Earl of Banbury, Generals Szewart,
Colonel Macquurrie, the Hon. Mr. Lincoln Stan-
hope; Generals Whitham and Grosvenor; Colonel
Jen kinson and Colonel Blaquire, entered the ground
about eleven o'clock. and rode up in front of the
line ; after the various evolutions, forming divisions,
and subdivisions, they marched for Bugden
where the Sharp Shooters, and the Light Companiqs
of the several Corps, aided by the two field piecei,
proteeked the advance of the main body, as wall as
their retreat to their former position, where they
formed in two strong lines, and kept up a well di-
retied fire by companies.
The remainder of the day WAS taken up in march-
ing and counter-marching, advance and retreat,
wheeling in divisions, subdivisions, &c. forming
lines, squares, street and bush-firing, till near two
o'clock, when the two grand divisions fell in line of
brigade, and marched in open order past the re-
viwing General in slow time, with drums beating,
colours flying, &c. through the several gates to
their respi.asee grounds, after receiving great enco-
miums from the General Inspecting Officers Thou-
sands of spectators, tempted by the fineness of the
day, attended the military scene. Among the most
fashionable spetlators, we noticed the beautiful Mrs.
Cowell in an open landau and four, with two out-
riders, and several other ladies in Ler vehicle; they
wore black velvet hats with roses.

SECoND BRIGADE.
At the time the Loyal London Volunteers were
about to leave Hyde Paik, yesteiday, the three
EAU India Regiments of Volunteers entered by
Oxford-street GA!, viz

Steins. C.mmend•rs
The I, Major CJII 1111 l gitarce, with twe WI pieces;

C rional Roherit, with two ditto;
lA, in tne rear, Colonel Rohart, with two firm ;
where they were joined in brigade, near the ring in
Hyde Park, by the 3d Loyal London, commanded
by Colonel Kensington, for the first time since they
changed their blue pantaloons to white, in uniform
with the East India Volunteers. The Inspe!ling
General, Earl of Harrington, and Brigadier Generals,
who had been on the ground for the whole of the
morning, after passing the former brigade, retired
from the field for some refreshment, and in about half
an hour returned, through Oaford-street Gate, with
the rest of the officers; on entering the line of brigade,
they were saluted with twenty-one rounds from the
field pieces belonging to the several regiments, who
took their stations, reversing the order in which they
had entered the field : the Ist on the right, 3d in
centre, 2d and 3d Loyal London on the left. Gen.
Grosvenor gave the word of command. We never
witnessed a better disciplined regiment, or one more
correa in their firing. After their various evolu-
tions, marching, counter-marching, &c. they quitted
the field at five o'clock, for the Company's Ground,
in Bishopsgate-street.
