GRAND REVIEW.

MAnflry there was a splendid militnry spectacle in the Phcenix-
park, Ihiblin—,two It:minions of Cay..lty, and four of Intuntry,
•cirh ry, &c. having been reviewed by Lord Coiuszlimeme.
(;?.a KT commanded.

At two o'clock the Regiments marched into the Park, and the
ground w.u, kept by infantry, stationed along the extensive review
ground, at ',roper distances.
The 4th (or Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards, flanked by Artillery,
formed on the right; next them the Ist Battalion of the 51 Guards.

Tile 79th Highlanders, the 84th, the Rife Brigade, and the 9th
Lancers, and Artillery, were paraded in ordinary succession.
At a quarter past three o'clock, discharges of artillery announced
the arrival of the. Commander of the Forces. Ilk Lordship rode
alor,t t!ie magnificent and varied line, escorted by a party of
Lance-s. niter passing along the line in front and rear, his Lord-
sl.ip took up a position in front, where a large Union Flag was
erected by 40111 e of the Waggon Train.
'fire troops formed in close columns, and thus advanced over the
grouts] until they arrived within a given distance of Lord Comma-
NEUF ; then, (wining into op. n columns, they passed, first in slow,
Ltt:l alterward, in quick time, before him. When ordered to re-
r.Jria a before, they vx:cuted some movements in echelon, which
produced a charming thereby, w lilt 4iii.tzing expedition,
resented tliOr rank and t.tatioti with:the must admirable regularity
r.t.d Ziscipline; •

A sham baud. then commenced; all the h•trrors of the " ensan-
guined held •' wt. re harmlessly de.eribed to admiration. Having
thrown out ridettes, cannonading commeticod on the right and lett ;
the Fiy..tg Artil!ery (they well merited that appellation) galloped,
t!ismuunted, printed, loaded, fired, reloaded, remounted, and gal-
loped again, with a degree of military celerity which spewed the
high state of improvement they have attained.
A charge of Cavalry was admirably conducted by the assailing
t.tql &fending parties; the whole hoe of Infantry at this period
:a:vanct-t1 to the charge, and covered the retreat of the retiring
nioadrons of Cavalry with a brisk and well sustained discharge of
muOtetry ,tt Iv cl, again into columns, they formed into lour
solid Fq.t.tt..., the fro.o rank kneeling, the rear firing, and all sur-
rotundity; 0..-tr Officers, enclosed within those animated cliecaux-de-
fr:ze, precisely as 4: the. ne•morable battle of Waterloo, which co-
vered WELLINi:TON wit.) unfading laurels, and overwhelmed the
greaten of Pa modern dest.,ots. _ _

In this manner the ill Ares withi.tood repeated charges of Ca-
valry, and reformed into line by a new ani dexterous mainruvre.
Another discharge of musketry along the whole line was followed
by a charge of Cavalry, and discharges of Artillery.
The battle over, the Comitiander of the Forces advanced, and
the whole line presented arms, the various bands playing " Goo save
the King."
In the advances of Infantry, before alluded to, the general effect
was greatly enhanced by the ancient music of Scotland—the pipers
of the 7gth Highlanders struck up the pibroch with great animation.
A vast number of carriages were on the ground; in many of
::.em were Ladies of rank and fashion.

The day was peculiarly favourable to the gay scene; all passed
Or without any ncitlent that we could hear Of, and without even t:
:7:,;;!: horseman li.tving been deplunted.

HAY MARKET.

Last night, W. I'ARREh made his first appearance in
t,e character of Doctor Cantwell. We cannot applaud
,:.then his conception or execution of this part. Perhaps
we are so fully pre-occupied by the favourable ample .
.lens made upon us by DOWTON'S excellent perfutm-
alce of it, that we are hardly able to judge fairly of the
effort made by FA It NEN. The announcement of the
repetition of the comedy on Monday was, however, re-
c•:ived with peat applause, by a very crowded at:-
ii.tace. Mrs. Cli A TTERLEY'S Charlotle was exceedingly
uz:l played, and bountifully rewarded by the approbit-
mz cf the house. 'ASTON was encoied in the sermon
