M'Murdo, to whose judgment and energy her Ma-
jesty and the public may look forward with the
utmost confidence for a successful spectacle, and
about 25,000 Volunteers will be under arms on the
occasion. The formations and movements to be
gone through will be of necessity very simple, as
the most experienced troops to the number we have
mentioned could not hope to go through any com-
plicated or elaborate manoeuvres within the ava:l-
- space in Hyde Park. There will be no firing
or marching past in slow time. The general ar-
rangements as regards the position of the specta-
tors will be exactly similar to those made at the
first presentation of the Victoria Cross by her Ma-
jesty. The Volunteers will be drawn up facing
Park-lane in a line of contiguous battalion columns,
at quarter distance—that is, within an interval of
six paces between each. er Majesty will arrive
on the ground at four o'clock, and will proceed
along the line, inspecting each corps in succession,
and will then take her place at a point about the
centre of the line of spectators facing the Volun-
teers,:who will then march past at quick pace in
quarter distance column. Having returned to their
original position, the whole force will advance in
line to salute. This will complete the ceremony.
All branches of the Volunteer service will be re-
presented. The Duke of Manchester and Colonel
Loyd Lindsay will each command a body of
mounted riflemen, and the artillery will be formed
into a brigade under the command of Lord Col-
Tulle, the Colonel of the Hon. Artillery Company.
The general arrangements of the brigades must, to
a certain extent, depend upon the regiments likely
to arrive from the provinces, but, as regards the
corps belonging to tho metropolis and its vicinity,

20 battalions, eack numbering from 500 to 1,200
