GRAND REVIEW OF THE CRIATEAN
ARTILLERY AT WOOLWICH.

The whole of the Royal Horse and Fo-it Artillery, be-
tween 2,000 and 3,000, recently returned to Woolwich
from the Crimea, hail a grand field-day on Saturday be-
fore Prince Oscar of Sweden, Sir W. F. Williams, the
Kara hero, Earl of CArdigan, and a most brilliant staff.
A more interesting and imposing spectacle, perhaps, was
never witnessed at this great military depot.
During the last fortnight companies of the Royal. Ar-
tillery have been arriving almost daily, and the garrison
may be said to be now exclusively filled with, men who
have seen brilliant service in the treaches before Sebas-
topol. There was not a man on the ground who did
not wear the Crimean medal with three or four clasps,
Alma, Balaklava. Inkerman, and Sebastopol.
The troops took up a position on the Common at one
o'clock. The Foot Artillery held the centre, and the
Horse the left. Prince Oscar, who had previously gone
into the Royal Arsenal, where he had been occupied
some two hours, was attired in a green nniform trimmed
with silver lace, and a cocked hat with yellow and green
feathers, aed was mounted on a splendid chestnut
charger. He arrived with a very numerous and distin-
guished staff, and was received by General Williams, the
new commandant, who wore the orders presented to him
by Queen Victoria, the Emperor Napoleon and the Sul-
tan, the band playing " God Save the Queen."
The men seemed in excellent spirit'. This was the
first time they bad been called out since their return
from the seat of war, or that they had met their brave
chief at the head of the force.

After the usual saluting, Prince Oscar; attended by
General Williams, Col. Hardinge, the Earl of Cardigan,
Col. Lake, Col. Teesdale, and staff, passed down the
front of the line. The illustrious visitors then returned to
the flagstaff, and the whole of the batteries, llerse'and
Foot Artillery, rode past in slow time. This was perhaps
the most interesting part of the proceeding. The Kars
hero, as chief of the garrison, rode in advance of the
troops, and as be passed along, the band playing " Sea
the conquering hero comes," the populace cheered him
most enthusiastically. The meat brilliant field-clay
movements were then gone through.
Prince Oscar rode out in front of the troops, and com-
plimented Gen. Williams and the several officers chief in
command upon the efficiency of this branch of the ser-
vice. His Royal Highness then desired that his thanks
might be communicated to the men.
The distinguished party then retired from the Common
amid the saluting of the troops and guns, and proceeded
to the officers' mess-r ;om of the barracks.

t THE ITALIAN LEGION.—We have reason to believe
bat 1,600 or 1,800 of the Italian Legion, now at Malta,
will proceed to Buenos Ayres as military settlers, the
government of the Argentine Republic being anxious for
their services. Proposals have been made to locate them
in that country, and give each a habitation or farm, where
they can acquire independence and plenty. There are at
present about 1,500 Italians settled in the above state, all
thriving and doing well, the climate and soil agreeing
with the Italians far beyond Canada or the Cape.—
