HER, 21121JEST1"S RECEPTION OF THE

VOLUNTEERS.

(THIS DAY.)

From an early hour this morning St. .James'

Palace was all alive with preparations for her Ma-
jesty's reception of the officers of the various
volunteer corps throughout the country; and from
nearly every county in England, if not from all,
gentlemen who have never before been in a position
to avail themselves of a presentation to the Queen,
have flocked into London within the last day or
two, full of excitement on account of the honour
about to be conferred upon them. Ample pre-
parations were made outside the palace to pre-
vent the possibility of any confusion, and
although the military officers who had charge of
the troops which kept guard seemed to look down
upon their brethren of the volunteers, everything
was conducted with perfect order and decorum.
Amongst the earliest arrivals at the Palace were
the lord-lieutenants and the military authorities

summoned to attend the Court. They entered the
Palace by the Ambassadors'-court, and passed at
once to the entree room. There were present his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Com-
mander-in-Chief; the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert,
M.P., Secretary for War; the Earl de Grey and
Ripon, Under Secretary for War ; Viscount
Combermere, G.C.8., Constable of the Tower;
Viscount Sydney, Lord• Lieutenant of Kent;
the Earl of Malmesbury, Lord-Lieutenant
of Dorset ; the Marquis of Westminster, Lore-
Lieutenant of Chester; Earl Ducie, Lord-
Lieutenant of Gloucestershire ; the Duke of
Newcastle, Lord• Lieutenant of Nottingham ; Sir
John Walsh, Bart., M.P., Lord-Lieutenant of Rad-
norshire ; the Marquis of Winchester, Lord-Lieu-
tenant of Southampton ; Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord-
Lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire ; Lord
Lyttelton, Lord-Lieutenant of Worcestershire ;
the Duke of Devonshire, Lord• Lieutenant of
Derbyshire ; Lord Carington, Lord-Lieu-
tenant of Buckinghamshire; Colonel Lloyd
Vaughan Watkins, M.P., Lord-Lieutenant of
Brecon; the Marquis of Exeter, Lord-Lieutenant
of Northamptonshire; the Marquis of Lansdowne,
Lord-Lieutonant of Wiltshire; the Duke of Marl-
borough, Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire ; the
Marquis of Salisbury, Lord-Lieutenant of Middle-
sex ; Earl Grey, Lord-Lieutenant of Northumber-
land ; the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord-Lieutenant of
Cambridgeshire; the Duke of Richmond, Lord-
Lieutenant of Sussex ; Lord Mostyn. Lord-Lieute-
nant of Murioneth ; Sir John Owen, Bart., M.P.,
Lord-Lieutenant of Pembrokeshire ; Colonel W.
M. S. M'Murdo, C 8., Inspector-General of Volun•
teers ; and many others whose names it was im-
possible to collect.

Her Majesty the ()len, and his Royal High-
ness the Prince Consort, habited as Colonel and
Captain-General of the Hon. Artillery Company,
proceeded direct from Buckingham Palace to St.
James's, accompanied by H.R.H. the Prince of
Wales, habited as a Colonel of the University of
Oxford Rifle Corps (to which he was last week
gazetted by his Grace the Duke of Marlborough,
the Lord-Lieutenant of the County), lord Alfred
Paget, the Hon. A. Hardinge, and a brilliant
retinue.

First in the order of those who arrived at the
Palace were the Artillery and Engineer officers and
Mounted Rifles. The Hon. Artillery Company
(Middlesex) with their brilliant scarlet uniform,
with blue facings, were amongst the earliest to tes-
tify their loyalty to their Sovereign. The prin-
cipal officers who presented themselves were—
Majors J. G. Middleton, and W.T. Robinson ; Cap-
tains Peter Morrison, J. Biden, W. Bokenham,
W. C. Jay, W. J. Jordan, W. H. Rough,
E. Kitchen, F. Reviere ; Lieutenants A. J. Lewis,
G. B. Potts, H. G. Bowra, G. Retherdon, T.
Phillips, and J. M. Harrison. The officers of the
Middlesex Engineer Volunteers, who were pre-
sented, were headed by the Captain Commandant,
Macleod of Macleod. Amongst other officers of the
Artillery and Engineers who attended were Captain
Sir H. Tonkin, 3d Devonshire ; Sir :T. G. Baird,
Bart., Major Commandant of the Midlothian
Coast Artillery Volunteer Corps ; Captain Richard
B. Cleland, 6th Devonshire; Captain Gustavus
Smith, 2d company ; Captain S. C. Marsh, 9th
Norfolk; Captain J. Estridge (lieutenant-colonel),
sth Sussex ; Captain W. Gladdish, 11th Kent;
Captain L. S. Magnus, 4th Kent ; Captain Fred.l
Hunter, 18th Dorsetshire.

Next came the officers of the various rifle corps
according to priority of formation, as far as it was
possible to carry that arrangement out. On ac-
count of the shortness of the time which elapses
between the arrivals and the time of our going to
press, we are not enabled to give more than a few
of the earliest arrivals, with the names of the
officers who attended.

First amongst those who arrived were the officers
of the various Middlesex regiments, comprising a
host of names holding various ranks of military
distinction. There were Lieutenant-Colonels the
Duke of Wellington (lat Battalion or Victoria Rifle

Battalion), Lord Radstock (9th or West Middlesex
Corps), the lion. C. Lindsay (11th or St. George's

and Col. J. Oliphant. The Lancashire officers
consisted of, amongst others, Captain Comman-
dant Gladstone, Major Frank Ashton, and R.
Horsfall. The Northamptonshire corps was
one of the earliest which followed. Its captain, the
Earl Spencer, headed the troop, and it was im-
mediately followed by the second, or Towcester
eoinpanies, headed by Captain the Earl of Pomfret,
and Lieutenant J. Wardlaw, late Captain of the
King's Own Militia. The officers of the Stafford-
shire corps were headed by Captain 11. Elwell, and
Lieutenant Sir P. E. Scott, Bart. ; the City of
Edinburgh by the Lord Provost, Lieut.-Colonel
James Moncrieff (Lord Advocate), Major Davidson,
Captains E. Strathern, J. A. Macrae, J. Anstruther,

Captains Sir Claudius J. P. Hunter, Bart., the
Hon. A. Ruthven, and Lieut. Charles Stephens;

The scenz, taken as a whole, was one of the
most brilliant which has been witnessed for many
years past.
