THE VOLUNTEERS.

One of the brigade field-days, as strongly recom-
mended by 24 commanding officers of the principal
metropolitan corps, at a meeting held for that pur-
pose, and sanctioned by a memorandum from the
War-office, took place in Regent's-parks on Satur-
day afternoon. In consequence of the fineness of
the weather and the interest attaching to the fact
that a large number of Volunteers would take part
in the evolutions, a great many persons assembled
for the purpose of witnessing the display. The
corps ou the ground were the 19th Middlesex (Work-
ing Men's College) Volunteers, under the command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Bathurst, Major Hughes,
and Adjutant and Captain Reed ; the 9th (West
Middlesex) under the command of Lord Radstock
and the 39th Middlesex (Finsbury), under Lieute-
nant-Colonel Coleill, &c. The manoeuvres com-
menced shortly after 6 o'clock by the whole of the
corps forming a single brigade, and moving in
mass. They afterwards formed double columns,
forming squares to resist cavalry, battalion drill,
&c. The movements, which elicited continued
marks of approbation from the spectators, were kept
up till dusk, when each corps was complimented by
its commanding officer on its appearance and the
precision with which it had executed the different
movements. The different corps having been re-
formed left the park, accompanied by their bands,
which played selections of music on the march,
went baCk to quarters, and were dismissed.
The Six Feet Guards will make their first appear-
ance in the City on Wednesday, the Bth inst., the
Lord Mayor having kindly allowed them to furnish
a guard of honour at the Guildhall, on the occasion
of the banquet to the Earl of Elgin on that day.
This permission has been given under the special
circumstance of the corps being commanded by the
Earl's next brother, the Hon. T. C. Bruce, and a
full company have accordingly received orders to
muster at Hungerford-market at 4.30 to march to
the Guildhall for that purpose.
The Ctty of London Rifle Brigade, under the
command of Colonel Hicks, assembled at head-
quarters on Saturday afternoon, and, headed by
their brass band, marched to Regent's Park, where
they were put through battalion and light infantry
drill. A mounted company to the corps is in
course of formation, and the sanction of the Duke
of Cambridge, honorary colonel, having been ob-
tained, the brigade will be called out for a fortnight's
service, under canvass at Aldershott, this summer.
On Saturday evening Lord Truro, commandant
of the 4th Middlesex (North London) Rifles, pre-
sented to Captain Cummins, the senior captain, on
behalf of the officers and men of the corps, a hand-
some sword, which had been subscribed for by them.
in testimony of their sense of his zeal and energy
in the formation of the corps and the services he
had since rendered it.

A FEMALE IN DISGUISE.— During the recent
sitting of the Salford County Court, 'it person who passed
as Thomas Green, who lived in Salford, and was employed
as a mill hand, was sued on a judgment summons for a
debt of £1 14s. 6d., being the balance of an account for a
suit of " gentleman's" attire. The result was a committal
for 20 days to the New Bailey. The individual was accord-
ingly conveyed to the gaol, when it was discovered that,
though attired as a man, she was of the opposite sAv ou
-
Friday she was liberated, a portion of cue aebt having been
paid. We have since heard that the female, when very
young, occupied the position of servant in the family of a
lady, and her appearance and deportment inducing her mis-
tress to adopt her as a page, the necessary apparel was pro-
cured. After some time, the girl went abroad with her em-
ployer, and on returning to this country she continued to
dress in male attire, and was in the service of another lady
10 or 12 years I She is now between 30 and 40 years of age,
and has for some time lived with another female in Salford.
The peculiarity of the affair is increased by the fact that
although she has on two previous occasions been committed
to prison, she has continued to preserve her disguise.
