The Volunteer Review en EasterAM • 4
The general outlines of the Volunteer Itaikr tort
be held near Guildford on Easter Monday are now
sufficiently well arranged to he made public. nem
the applications forwarded to the War-office it
would appear that at least 15.000 men are anxious
to take part in the day's proceedings, and that the
evolutions of the troops will be supported by 24
pieces of artillery. The field of action is rather
limited for such an imposing force, but it is believed
that the plan agreed upon will afford scope for them
to manoeuvre with effect; and, as far as the spec-
tators are concerned, the conflict will certainly be
brought much more nearly under their view than
on any of the previous anniversary displays of a
similar character. As already stated, the troops
reaching Fairley-heeth by d:ffcrent railway routes
from the metropolis will be kept distinct
daring the day, and massed in separate
divisions. Those travelling by the South Eastern
line to Shalford, having the shortest distance to
march before arriving upon the Common, will be
pushed on to its further extremity, and these,
facing about and fronting the quarter from which
they came, will represent the attacking force. Toe
volunteers using the South Western Railway, and
having to march some three or four miles from
Guildford, will, on the other hand, be compensated
by finding themselves in position almost as soon
as they emerge upon the Heath, where they will
assume a defensive attitude. So far matters are
settled. But the actual movements which the
Volunteers will be called on to undertake from this
point must be governed by what the officer in com-
mand finds to be practicable within a given time
after the Volunteers have assembled, and also by the
extent of the force at his disposal. The belief at
present is that after some preliminary movements of
a strategic character on both sides, the left wing of
the attacking force will be detached and sent through
the woods by a circuitous path to fall on the right of
the defending army, and that the latter, forced by
this assault to show an entirely new front, will ha
gradually pressed back till it reaches the vicinity of
the Grand Stand, upon which as an impregnable
fortress it will halt and quietly prcceed to march
past, an example commending itself to the approval
and adoption of its late opponent. Lieut.-General
Sir S. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., will command in
chief, and under his orders will be Major-General
Russell, C. 8., and Major-General Rumley, each hav-
ing charge of a division. There are to be eight bri-
gades in all under the following brigadiers—Lord
Colville, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Elcho, Earl Gros-
venor, Lord Radstock, Lord Bury, Lieut.-Colonel
Bigge, and Lieut.-Colonel Loyd Lindsay. The ar-
tillery force will be handled at one side by Colonel
Gambier, C,8., and at the other by Col. Buchanan.
Of the 24 pieces of artillery to be brought into the
field six 18-pounders will be contributed from
Brighton; the rest, consisting of six 6-pounders,
eight 18-pounders, and four 24-pounders, will be
furnished by the Hon. Artillery Company and by
the regiments of Middlesex Artillery. The public
are to have a means of approach distinct from that
allotted to the Volunteers. The latter will take
possession of a row known asPhillip's-lane, leading
from Shalford-common, where the brigades are to
be formed on the arrival of the different corps.
Sample Oak-lane, running direct from the Chilworth
station to the Heath, will bo reserved for the public,
and the position of the spectators will enable them,
on arriving upon the ground, not only to command
a favourable view of the day's marceavres, but to
approach very close to Phillip's-lane, the route along
which the Volunteers must move from and to the
stations either of the South-Eastern or South-West-
ern Railway. The Grand Stand occupies a promie
nent position upon an eminence known as Roast
Meat-hill, and facing this it is proposed to erect
capacious refreahment booths. This is the depart-
ment in which at present there appears to be greatest
need for organisation, and for the credit and com-
fort of all concerned the interval remaining before
Easter Monday ought to be turned to good account.

Two WHO WERE NEARLY DRAGGED INTO A DUEL
BY A—" LADIES' CHAIN !"—Much amusement has
beeen excited at Brussels at the idea of a kind of duel which
was nearly taking place at Ghent between. two ladies of
that place. The husband of Madame de S. belongs to the
clerical party, while the other lady, Madame de M., is
married to a Liberal. These two ladies being at a ball, it
so chanced that the former had to stand opposite the latter
in a cotillon, which she would only consent to do on
condition that she should not give her hand to her ad-
versary, and she was therefore to be seen going through
all the figures in which she ought to have joined hands
with her arms folded. The affair caused a considerable
sensation. On the following day M. de S. called on M. de
M. to make an apology for the conduct of his wire, when.
he received for answar that the matter did not concern him
(M. de M.). and that Madame de S. ought to send her
seconds to his wife to arrar.ge the affair. That was done,
and the emissaries were told that the insult haying been
public, the repare.tion should be so likewise.

come to that at a party at which the ladies were shortly to
