Shire and S'onersetshire Volunteers, for which such
prepitations hari been made, took place
upon l)ardham Downs. At an eaily hour of the
mornieg -the greatest bustle prevailed, and before
nine o'clock many of the Corps had marched a
distance of fifteen or twenty miles. Every vii.

Scot over from Bath to Clifton last night to order
stabling for 3o horses, and breakfast for 12 Officers;
as numerous a Staff as perhaps any General Officer
can boast of. He arrived in his barnuche and four,
at the York Hotel, at ten, and set off for the ground
about twelve, accompanied by six Aitis.de.Camp,
and four led horses richly caparisoned.
The Carmarthen Militia, commanded by Colonel
IVIncooNALD, to(.lc the right of the line; the South
Devon, by Sir War. ELEURD, were on their left;
and in the centre wete the Bristol Light Horse, the
Dismounted Riflemen, and the Volunteer Artillery.
On the left were the Sea Fencibles of the Dis.
tale, a remarkably fine body of men, armed with
sharp pikes, ten feet in length, which they handled
in such a manner as to convince every one present
how fmnidable this weapon must he in a charge.
The Bristol, Clifton. and other Volunteers were in
the centre of the left wing, flanked by Sir JOHN
JERVISN Corp* of Riflemen. The total ettimbers
exceeded 3000.
After the General had rode along the Line, the
whole wheeled into open eolumn, and marched
past him with the usual Salutes in ordinary and
quick time. The usual manceuvres of a Review
were then performed, but as none of the Volunteers
of this Distriet- have any powder in their depots,the
firings were necessarily omitted. The Carmarthen
and South Devon made a very fine appearance, and
went through their various evolutions with uncom.
mon steadiness. The General paid them very high
compliments, as well as the Sea Fencibles, whose ap.
pearance and discipline were peculiarly attraftive.
It was past three o'clock before the different Corps
left the ground.
Perhaps a grafter concourse of people was never
witnessed upon Durdham Downs. Carriages and
horses of all descriptions were so numerous that it
was with the greatest difficulty the Cavalry could
clear 'the way for the Troops. The busy streets of
Bristol were completely deserted ; and Sir Archy
Mar S‘lrfail*l'S severe allusion to the " tar barrels
and sugar hogsheads" for once lost its point.
All the fashionable; remaining at the Hot Wells
were present. Among many others were noticed the
Marquis and MAtCIIIOIICSS of Bugs, the Dottilger
Countess of CAVAN. the Cow. ess FINGALL.
and the Honourable Mr. FLUNKST, L and
Miss lititocxe, the Miss MI L ES'6, the Miss AL-

The weather was extremely fine until about
one o'clock, when the wind rose very high, and
torrents of rain 1911. Though this dimeed the
pleasure of the speetators a little, is did not lessen
the ardour of the Troop,, who went through their
to.iiteuvires with uncommon spirit. The Ladies
were too gallant to kid, and bore the pelting of
the pitiless storm without shrinking. •

would allow, all the manoeuvres they were exercised
,in : on the whole, they deserved and acqnired great
credit. There was a very great concourse of spec.

beauty, loveliness, and fashion of the surrounding

the Brigade was dismissed, and returned to quarters.
On Thursday the PRINCE of WALES reviewed
the Inniskilling Regiment of Dragoons, on Newmar.

mounted upon the finest horses, went through its
evolutions in a most accomplished manner. The

they proceeded to Putney, upon their way, as it was
supposed, to Portsmouth.
So little dreaded is the threat of invasion, anJ so
