Mr. THORNTON (a Yorkshire gentleman) raised, it his own

beautiful young woman, headed it, and joined the King's army.
After the battle of Culloden, he and his wife went to Court,

VOLCANO OF HAS HEN ISLANI)S.—This volcano
was visited by Captain WI:HST-RR, of' the Juliana, in March
last. Having entered a small bay, with the view of landing,
they were, at 'the distance of one hundred yards from the
shore, assailed by a hot puff' of wind, and, upon dipping
their fingers into the water, they were surprised to find it
as shot almost as if it had been boiling. The stones on
shore, and the rocks exposed to the ebbing of the tide, were
smoking and hissing, and the water bubbling all round them.
The cone appeared from hence about one.lburth of a mile ills-
tent. Having landed in a cove, they ascended a precipice, hold-
ing by the grass that grew out of the ashes, and having reached
the top, after no slight danger, they found a small tree under the
shade of which they had a full view of the volcano. Its height
is about half a mile. The diameter of the base-is supposed to
be about 300 yards, and about 30 at the top, the whole of' the
space seeming to be occupied with the mouth. It discharged
continually a thin white smoke. The cone stands in the centre of
an amphitheatrelof hills, which nearly close around it. In order
to examine the crater, Captain W. ascended thirty or forty yards,
sinking ancle deep in ashes at each step, but he found ft im-
possible to reach the mouth.

apostrophe against the Prussian Government, added, "Prussia

" True," replied Knoblesdorif, " my country is a watch, but

strike."

GRAND nEvigw IN HYDE PARK.

[FURTH ER PA wricuLAits.]—Yesterday morn•
ing his Royal Highness the COMMA N D Elt.IN-CIII EY reviewed
all the Foot Guards now in town in this beautiful Pak!' The
linenessof the morning attracted an immense concourse of 'per.
sons to view this very imposing military spectacle, among whom
were a great number of elegantly dressed females. At nip e
o'clock the troops to be reviewed, viz. the 3d battalitm of
the Ist Regiment, the Ist and 2d battalions of the Cold-
stream, and the Ist battalion of the 3d Regiment, took up their
ground facing Park-lane, their right stretching to the 'Set--
pentine, and their left to the Uxbridge road. The ground
was kept by detachment.' of the 14th Light Dragoons, by the.

Light Infantry Company of the 2d battalion of Grenadier
Guards, and by-the recruits of the brigade. A little before tilt
o'clock the " Note of Preparation" commenced for melting:
the illustrious Duke and his Suite. The colours of the respe•e-
tive battalions were unfurled, Aides-de-Camp were rapidly
passing and repassing along the line, and the bands took their
station in front of the brigade. At a few minutes past ten
o'clock, the bands of the respective battalions announced the
approach of -his Royal Highness, who enterd the Park' by
Grosvenor-gate, attended by a brilliant staff; the Duke toxinslowly to the right of the brigade, the troops receiving him in
open order with presented arms. His Royal highness then
passed slowly up the line, minutely inspecting the troops as he
passed along. He was mounted on a beautiful milk-white charger,
and wore theunifonn of the Grenadier Guards.. His 'loyal High,.
ness returned to the right of the line by the rear of the brigade;
in conversation with his Grace the Duke of Virellington, who
was dressed in the full uniform of the Master-General of the
Ordnance. On the return of the Commander in Chief to the
right, the line formed open columns of companies, the hods
stationed in front of their several battalions to pass his Royal
Highness in review order, for which purpose be took his
stand in front of the Duke of Gloucester's Riding-house.
This was altogether a most imposing sight. The troops made
the fittest possible appearance, and their steadiness iA march.
ing called forth the loud encomiums of his Royal Highness,
whose magnificent Staff closely surrounding hint, added much
to the grandeur of the scene. The column having. passed the
Duke in slow time, with opened ranks; marched in front of
his Royal Highness at quick time. As soon as these move.
tents were completed, a close column of companies was form.
ed which made an oblique movement to the left towards Curn.:
Berland-gate, when it took up a new position, and. afterward*
formed into regiments at the, regular intervals, and coin.
menced firing by right of proper companies front flunks to
centre. The line then retired and fired by regiments; it
again advanced and formed a dose square from centre to
flank, and commenced independent tiring, front rank kneel.
ing. From this position the line was farmed, and advanced in
quick time, and then began independent firing from centre to
flank. We heard several military men say they never saw
an advance in line performed with mere precision, and in a
finer manner. The line then formed open columns of corn.
panics, the square front rank kneeling : front the solid square
a line of regiments was formed, anti file firing took place—the
light companies still skirmishing in front of the line, and keep-
ing up an incessant independent firing. The light companies
now fell back upon their respective battalions, the line deploy-
ed into open column of companies, and advanced to the left.
After these evolutions had been gone through, the troops
formed lines and advanced at ordinary time, and when
they had halted, presented arms, the bands playing at
the time. The Commander-in-Chief, independent of his own
personal Staff; was attended by his Royal Brother the Mike of
Cumberland; the Prince of Salina, the Duke of Wellington,
the Marquis of Anglesea, the Adjutant and Quarter-Masters
General. The brigade was commanded by Colonel Woodford,
of the Coldstream, being the senior, Field-officer. The bat-
talion of the First Regiment was commanded by Colonel Jones.
The first battalion of the Coldstream by Colonel Bouverie, the
second battalion by Colonel Macdonald, and the battalion of
the Third by Colonel Clitheroe. The Duke of York was Most
enthusiastically cheered by the populace, particularly on hies
quitting the Park at the conclusion of the Review. We have
not heard of any accident occurring, although the pressure of
the crowd at times was very great. This grand millitary spec.
tacle ended about one o'clock.
