THE VOLUNTEERS.

On Saturday evening the London Scottish -V0
teer Rifle Corps, under Lieut.-Colonel Lord .Elcll°'
M.P., and Major Sir David Baird, was officially
spected for the War-office by Gen. Sir Hope Grant'
G.C.B. The regiment mustered in the Wellingtell
barracks, Birdcage-walk, to the number of 300;
divided into six companies, under the command °
Capt. Mackenzie, Capt. Sandeman, Capt. rendert'
Lieut. Scott, and Capt. Macgregor. The regilneu
marched, headed by its brass band and the bagPlill
to Hyde Park, where the companies were deploy t
into line to await the coming of Sir Hope G 1313,;
who was received with the customary general san's'e
The gallant General, attended by Lord Elcho, rod
round the line while it was at the open order, tlll
took his positionat theflag-staff to witness themare,
past in open and close column. This was occeede,
ingly well done, and the sixth, Capt. Macgrege'
company, deserves especial mention for the dressily,
kept during the march, and which showed to said
vantage the pains that had been taken to propT,
size the men—a point too often overlooked w;
volunteer captains. After marching past, line vi
again formed, and the advance in this format°o
though somewhat slow, was remarkably stegeld
The general movements of a regiment in the fi
were then gone through, and at the close of the 131.°f
ceedings Sir Hope, who is the honorary colonel
the corps, addressed the men, and in a short 813eeed b
expressed the great pleasure with which be Paii
watched their movements, which, he said, had pt
exceedingly well executed. He dwelt with gre:,
pride upon the appearance of the corps, bat ht,
thought that appearance would be greatly beig
of
ened if the whole regiment were kilted, instead ea
only the front and rear companies, and be
that by the next time he had the pleasure of 93e-0•
ing them they would all adopt the kilt. In c° rt
elusion he said he should make a favourable rePtem
to the War-office. At a short distance fro* tej
place where the London Scottish were insiPe:o,

was inspected by Col. Erskine, the Inspector- or
of the Volunteer Force. There were eight c°o-
panies, in all about 350 members, under Lord 1.130
lagh's command, and after the usual field moven-leo],
had been executed, the inspecting officer exPreo,
