THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAV EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, !860.

march, been executed by the artillery and infantry
brigadier. The sight which now presented itself was
a fine one. On from the wheeling point tit the west

end of the ground, along the level space already indi-
cated, came in advance some of the new Artillery
guns, followed by the Lancashire Hussars, about 200
strong, known as Sir R. Gerard's corps, in their
gorgeous uniforms, mounted on high-spirited horses,
and looking every inch a match for any equal num-
ber of cavalry of the Line. They were loudly
cheered as they passed. Immediately behind were
the small detachment of Ist Lancashire Mounted
Rifles. Next in order came the Lancashire Artil-
lery, of which the Ist battalion was under the com-

mand of Lieut.-Col. W. Brown, formerly member
for South Lancashire, who was warmly greeted as
he rode at the head of his troops. Nothing could,
on the whole, be more admirable than the steady
precision of movement displayed by the Artillery,
more especially on the part of the Ist and 4th
Liverpool Corps, under the command respectively
of Lieut.-Col. W. Brown and Major Walter, and
the 11th Liverpool and 15th Garston, under the
command of Lieut.-Col. M'lver. To the Artillery
succeeded the Ist Lancashire Rifle Brigade, followed
by the 2d Brigade, composed chiefly of Manchester
corps, which marched in a style that fully entitled
them to share with the Artillery the honours of the
day, and who were again and again cheered. Then
came the 3d and 4th Brigades, and these having
marched past and proceeded to form with the other
brigades in the original position on the summit
of the plateau, the Lancashire Hussars, who had
halted at the east end of the ground, rode back at
full gallop by the reviewing General to their post on
the right of the line. They were, as they did so,
repeatedly cheered. The marching past, which had
occupied about three-quarters of an hour, was now
over, and it only remained for the troops to ad-
vance in line for a general salute. Slowly they
moved down the slope, on the crest of which the
front rank stood, halting just before they reached
the level ground. In this position the foremost rank
was out-topped by that immediately behind it,
rank rising above rank like steps of stairs, those
which in their original position stood far back on the
plateau being now on the verge of the slightly ele-
vated ridge in which it terminates. The officers were
in front of the line. Sir G. Wetherall and his staff,
accompanied by Lord Derby, rode towards it. At
this moment the sun, which had for a short time
been concealed behind a cloud, lighted up the whole
park with a sudden glory. The swords of the offi-
cers as they were pointed downwards in salute re-
flected back his tempered splendour. The dark
masses of the Volunteers—for the uniforms of those
present were for the most part of a sombre colour—
reflected it too. Exclamation of admiration of the
picturesque beauty of the scene might be heard on
all sides. While yet its brightness continued un-
impaired Sir G. Wetherall addressed the assembled
troops in the following words :
" Commanding officers and gentlemen,—l wish
to express to you the entire satisfaction I have re-
ceived—a satisfaction which lam sure everybody
else who has witnessed it has experienced—from
this beautiful display. It must serve, I feel assured,
to impress everybody with the conviction of the ex-
traordinary progress which the regiments before me
have made in those field movements which are
necessary in actual war. I have had many oppor-
tunities of witnessing the great advance made by
Rifle Volunteers, and nothing can, in my opinion,
well exceed the rapidity of that advance. It keeps
pace with the hopes of every Englishman, and I
cannot express to you what happiness it gives me
to be associated with these your patriotic gather-
ings. Ido not think I can more appropriately
bring to a close the few remarks which I have
deemed it to be my duty on this occasion to make
than by suggesting that we should express our
thanks after the good old English fashion for the
princely hospitality of our noble hoSt, to whose
kindness we are indebted for this splendid spec-
tacle."

A cheer, loud, prolonged, and ringing, burst forth
along the whole of the line of Volunteers, who up
to that moment maintained a grave silence. It was
echoed and re-echoed, and, as a spontaneous demon-
stration of appreciation of his liberality and many
high qualities, it could hardly fail to have been gra.
tifying to the noble lord who was its object. Lord
Derby acknowledged the compliment paid him by
two or three times taking off his hat. It was now
seven o'clock, and over 11,000 men, including
250 of the police force, by whom the ground was
kept, had yet to be provided with refreshments.
S 3 admirable were the arrangements made for the
occasion, however, that this, too, was soon accom-
plished. The Volunteers made for the ground im-
mediately in front of the tents which had been
erected in the rear of their position. The officer in
command of a battalion despatched, in accordance
with the printed regulations, an officer under him
to take charge of the tent specially designated as
containing the provisions set apart for his battalion.
He also directed the captain of each company to
send one non-commissioned officer with four men to
bring from the tent to a particular spot one basket
containing refreshments for 60 men, one beer can,
containing three gallons of ale, and 10 half-pint
drinking cups. With the proper distribution of
the refreshments—which consisted of a meat pie
and a pint of ale for each Volunteer—the captains
of the several companies were charged. The pro.
visions having been procured from the tents, the
Volunteers piled arms, and took to the work of de:.
molition like men. By the time it was over the
shades of evening were fast closing round the plea.
sant glades and woodlands of Knowsley. The near
approach of night warned the several corps that it
was time to be again in motion, and they accord-
ingly, with as little delay as possible, set out for
their respective destinations by appointed routes.
The general public commenced leaving the park in
a continued stream as soon as the review had
ended, but thousands, owing to the wholly inade-
quate arrangements made by the London and North-
Western Railway Company to meet the demand
upon their resources, were unable to get away from
Huyton and the other stations on the line in the
vicinity of Knowsley until after midnight ; the
train which starts from Liverpool for London at a
quarter to 11 at night having occupied two hours
in accomplishing the journey from the former place
to Huyton, a distance of only six miles, in conse-
quence of the way in which that station was blocked
up. It is but right to add that a similar inadequacy
of accommodation was observable in the morning
for passengers to Knowsley by way of the North-
Western Railway. These drawbacks, however,
detracted nothing from the brilliancy of the great
event of the day. The review at Knowsley ranks
for splendour and magnitude only below the two
similar displays which have been held under Royal
auspices.

THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

The Southwark and Lambeth, or 7th Surrey Rifle
Volunteers, assembled in great force on Saturday
afternoon on the parade ground, Sessions-house,
Newington-causeway, for the usual march out.
The route taken was along the Walworth-road,
Camberwell•park, Denmark-hill, and thence to the
Greyhound, Dulwich, where they piled arms.
After a halt of about two hours they returned to
head-quarters. They were accompanied on this
occasion by the band of the 3d Surrey Militia, and
the newly forced bugle band, composed entirely of
members of the corps. Major Parratt, the Adju-
tant, was unfortunately thrown from his horse just
before leaving the Sessions-house, but was not se-
riously injured, and was able to remount and pro-
ceed with his duty.
At a meeting held on Saturday at the Hanover-
square Rooms, it was resolved to form a rifle corps
to be composed chiefly of young men in the drapery
trade, the corps to be called the " London Volun-
teer Fusiliers.'
The Queen and the Prince Consort take a most

lively interest in the affairs of the Berks County
Rifle Meeting in Windsor Great Park, allowing the
services of the labourers in the Greak Park to be
employed in the preparations. Her Majesty has also
subscribed £5O, and the Prince Consort £25.
towards the expenses ; altogether the sum of nearly
£7OO has been contributed, reflecting the highest
credit on the patriotic spirit of Berkshire.. The
entries of the competitors for the prizes have
already exceeded the number anticipated, and the
Volunteers are in constant practice, not only in
their drill, bat at the target, in order to distinguish
themselves on the day of the great event.' A liberal
sum will be set apart as prizes to be contested for
in running, wrestling, leaping, single-stick, flat
hurdle racing., wheelbarrow, donkey, and jockey
racing; the Scots Fusilier pipers will dance High-
land reels and other Scottish dances to their na-
