REVIEW OF VOLUNTEERS AT GIOAIi-
I'ARMOUTH.

One of the most interesting features in connec-
tion with the volunteer movement in the eastern
counties took place yesterday at Great Yarmouth,
and attracted an immense concourse of persons
from the surrounding districts. home two months
since a movement was set on foot by some of the
leading inhabitants of the town to show their
appreciation of the value of the volunteer force,
and at a public meeting convened by the mayor it
was unanimously resolved that an invitation
should be sent to the volunteers at Nor-
folk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, aed Essex, asking

went among the inhabitants that the subscriptionst
60011 reached £6OO. The invitations issued
volunteers of the four counties were most
cordoially
the
responded to, and acceptances received in every in-
stance. As the day drew near for the review the
greatest excitement prevailed in the town, the in-
habitants vieing with each other in their endeavours
' to provide a cordial welcome to the volunteers. This
feeling manifested itself yesterday morning in a
greater display of triumphal arches and other deco-
rations than has ever been witnessed in the town.
The streets everywhere presented a beautiful espeet,
being bung in-all directions with streamers, flags,
evergreens, &c. The volunteers began to arrive in
the town by the Eastern Counties and East Suffolk
lines from an early hour, and by the time named for
the commencement of the review there couletnot have
been fewer than 30,000 persons (including volunteers)
present. The volunteer force on the ground com-
prised the following corps:—The Norwich and Cam-
bridge Light, Horse, 120 men, under the command
of Captain Pemberton ; Yarmouth and Lowestoft
Artillery, Major Marsh commanding, 240; Ist Nor-

force, forming a total of 3,324, were divided into
three brigades, the whole being under the command
of Col. Guy, C. 13., the commanding officer at Col-
chester camp. The review took place on the South
Denis, and commenced at 1 o'clock by the brigades
deploying into line upon the first regiments of bri-
gades, opening their ranks, general salute, and
marching past. These manoeuvres were executed
in a style that could hardly be excelled by regi-
ments of the line, and drew forth repeated commen-
d a.tions from the spectators. The troops then marched
toward the haven's mouth, where an enemy was
supposed to be on the point of landing ; skirmishers
thrown out, and all the necessary manoeuvres gone
through to resist an attacking force. This having.
_2l!
been successful, and the enemy compelled to retire,:e
the whole force then reformed and marched to.:the:/,:ai
town by the Marine Drive and principal thoronglia
fares to the Chapel Denis, where the teets for the •0.
banquet were erected. The tents were 17 fel nuni.--11)
b r, each. 200 feet in length, and running in parallel,
lines, across tent being placed at one end for the':
reception of the mayor and guests. A liberal' ohld— '7;
collation was placed on the table,' by Mr. J. Frank-
lin, of the Crown and Ancly-`Motel, to which the ,
volunteers appeared to do dimple justice, the whole
being washed down by upwards of -60 barrels of '
ale, the gift of Sir E. H. K. Lacon, I3art., one of the
members for the borough. Among the guests at the
may'or's table we rotieed the Earl of Stradbrcke,
Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk; Lord Suffield, repre-
senting the Earl of Leicester, Lord Lieutenant of
Norfolk; Lord Sondes, Lord Ranelagh, Sir E. 11.
Lacon, and Sir H. Stracey, members for the
borough, &c. The usual loyal toast were given and
enthusiastically responded to ; and at the con-
clusion of the banquet the volunteers began taking
their departure, greatly delighted at their splendid
reception by the inhabitants of Yarmouth.
