The Late Volunteer Review.

The following communications have been trans-
mitted to us from the Horse Guards

Horse Guards, July 25, 1865.

My Lord,—l have to inform your lordship that
the annual volunteer review took place under my
immediate direction on Saturday last, the 22d inst.,
at Wimbledon. _ _ _

Tile muster was considerable, 9,143 of all ranks,
with 24 guns. These numbers are much less, how-
ever, than what had been announced as the pro-
bable force on the ground, and I cannot help re-
gretting that corps do not turn out somewhat
stronger on parade on such occasions.

Everything passed off most satisfactorily ; the drill
of the battalions has, I think, improved since last
year, though I am of opinion that even yet more
battalion drill is needed in many instances. The
marching past was creditable, and the movements,
though few in number, were performed in a manner
evincing intelligence and an aptitude for military
evolutions.

There is only one subject which I must notice with
regret, that is, the late arrival of the corps. These
were ordered to be on the ground at 4 80, so as to
be prepared for commencing to manoeuvre at 5
o'clock. At that hour, however, hardly a corps had
arrived, at all events none had got into position, and
it was 6 30 before the movements could commence.
The result was that every evolution had to be per-
formed in a hurried manner, as darkness was fast
approaching, and indeed it was beginning to be dark
before the marching past could be concluded.
Whoever is to blame in the matter, I do hope that
steps may for the future be taken to allow these
gatherings to take place at such an hour as to en-
able a certain number of evolutions to be performed
with steadiness and without undue hurry.
It would be far better for the object in view, as
regards gaining military knowledge, and far more
acceptable I should think to the volunteers them-
selves, to take part in a field day, which need not
be curtailed for want of time to carry out the in-
tended movements.—l remain, &c.,

Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your Royal highness's letter of the 25th
ultimo relative to the review of volunteers, which
took place at Wimbledon on the 22d ultimo, under
your Royal Highness's immediate direction. In
reply I have to express my satisfaction that an
improvement was perceptible in the drill of the
battalions, and that the movements performed were
well and intelligently executed by the volunteers.—

I have, &e.,
