" Horse Guards, S.W., Aug. 3, 1868.

" Sir,--I am directed by the Field-Marshal Com-
manding-in-Chief to transmit, for submission to the
Secretary of State for War, the accompanying re-
p3rt, which has been received from Major-General
Hamilton, relative to the force of volunteers re-
viewed by him at Wimbledon on the 25th ultimo,
and to request that you w►ll state to Sir John
Pakington that his _Royal Hig!mess has perused the

(Signed) "W. PAULET, Adjutant-General.

War-Office, Pall Mall."

" Sir, —I have the honour to make the fbllowing
report for the information of his Royal Highness
the Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief of the re-
view of volunteers, that took Placa on the 25th inst.
on Wimbledon Common, in present;; of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales.' The number as-
sembled on that occasion w.ts less than had been
anticipated—a fact which, being known only at the
last moment, necessitated certain m.)difications on
the spot in the instructions I had given to generals
of division.

" I have the honour to enclose a copy of those
instructions. The troops began arriving ,on the
ground about half-past five. They were formed at
six o'clock, when the manceavres immediately com-
menced. The force was drawn up in line facing
the N.E., to resist the approach of an enemy sup-.
posed to be coming from Putney and Wandsworth.
The left division, under Major-General Brownrigg,,
in one line ; the right division, under Major-Gcne-
ral Carey, i a two lines.

" The attack commenced by the advance of the
2d division in line, covered by skirmishers. The
first line of the Ist division, as soon as formed, also
advanced, and formed on the right of the 2,1 divi-
sion. After the advance of this Hoe, the enemy
being found in strength on their right flank, I
caused the 21 division to retire in direct echellon of
battalions from the left at forty paces interval, and
when in echellon t. form squares. Oa the repulse
of the supposed enemy, the small force of cavalry
was sent to the front through the intervals, to keep
the enemy in check. The 21 division, after re-
forming columns, retired, part of it forming on the
left of the tst division, which was now changing
front.

" The artillery had been sent to the extreme
right fl tnk to strengthen that point, and assist in
turning the enemy's left flank. With this view
the first line of the lst division changed front on
its left, right thrown forward, the second line
of the same division conforming to this movement.
" The first line, supported by four guns, ad-
vanced and opened fire, retired by fours through
the second line, which opened fire and maintained
its position.

"The manoeuvres ended, the force was formed
in mass of columns, at a quarter distance, oa the
marching past alignment, and marched past his
Royal Ilighness the Prince of Wales in quick time,
i❑ open column of companies, his Royal Highness
the Duke of Edinburgh honouring the Ist London
Artillery Corps by marching past at their head.
" The force was then formed in double line of
contiguous columns facing the saluting point, and
advanced in review order, a royal salute concluding
the proceedings.

" I have reason to be satisfied with the manner
in which the several corps of volunteers were
handled by their brigadiers, and with the general
steadiness of the men under arms.

." I cannot close these observations without re-
marking upon the efficient manner in which the
ground was kept by a detachment of the 17th
Lancers, from llampton Court, aided by some
police: Almost every volunteer was outside the
enclosure before the public entered the reviewing
ground, and the volunteers marched off to their re-
spective stations with perfect regularity,—l have
the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant,

Major-G-eneral Commanding.'

War Office, Pall Mall, Aug.--5

Sir, —I am directed by Secretary Sir John Pak ing-
ton to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
3d instant, enclosing a report from Major General

don on the 25th ultimo.

In reply I am to express Sir John Pakington's
satisfaction at the opinion expressed by Major-
General Hamilton in regard to the execution of the
mancouvres, and especially at that officer's remarks

Mr. Disraeli, on the part of the Crown, has
nominated the Rev. F. Law, M.A., of Corpus Chri,ti
College, Cambrilgo, vicar •of Lullington, Derbyshire, to
the rectory of Croft, ono of the best livings in the gift of
the Crown. Mr. Law was married in 1832 (the elopeuent
having excited much public interest at the time) to Lady
Adelaide Eni iaa Vine-Temp.3st, daughter of the Mar-
quis of Londonderry. In 1859 he was presented by Lord
Chelmsford, then Lord Chancellor, to the vicarage of
Lullington, the presentation to which has since that
time been sold, under Lord Westbury's Act, to Mr. C. IL

[ADVERTISEMENT. I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Invivcible Remediesfur Scorbutic Eruptions. —Mr. Spivey,
chemist, Howtm, .t.ites that one of his customers had
suffered for fifte, n years with a scorbutic humour in the
face, an I had consulted the most eminent medical men in
the tcwa and neighbourhood without. deriving the slightest
benefit. A few weeks ago he advised her to give the
Oint:nent and Pills a trial, which she did, and alter tak-
ing a few boxes of pills and using the Ointment, they
checked the disease and effected a complete cure. For all
eruptions on the face this Ointment is an unequalled
remedy. Holloway's treatment enters the system, des-
troys the seeds of disorder, and thus radically removes all
outward blemishes.
