It being announced, by a General Order from the
Horse Guards, that the Review would begin at eleven
o'clock, the roads leading to Hounslow Heath were
thronged, notwithstanding the unfavourable appearance
of the weather, at. the early hour of five, with a great
number of equestrians and pedestrians, pleasing forward
with anie'y to take possession of the.best possible sta-
tions for viewing the scene cf action, anterior to the
arrival of the immense assemblage of •the community,
which generally takes place on such occasions. At six
o'clock, a troop of the Bth 1-lussais assembled on the
Heath, and at nine, the remainder of that Corps, under
the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lord WILLIAM
Itu,sxu., assisted by a detachment of the 17th Lancers,
which were ordered to keep the ground, arrived, and
immediately detached to mask the boundary. About
hailpast nine, the Conceerse of all classes and degrees,
in vebicles of every description, on horseback, and on
foot, was immense. Shortly after ten, the numerous
and splendid equipagel of the Nobility *ad Gentry be-
got to reach the Heath, and take their stations in the
stand assigned to them. The display of beautiful,
fashionable. and elegantle-dressed women, was capti-
vating and brilliant, and the spectacle altogether was
grand and imposing.
Previous to the Review there was a public breakfast
at ,Hounslowß.trracks, at which manyOfficen and other
persons of distinction were present.
The Corps assembled in two lines of contiguous regi.
mental columns of squadrons, and, a little before eleven,
deployed into two lines of parade, to receive the COW
SAANDIIR-IWCHIRI.
' At eleven o'clock, Field Marshal biclloyal Hghness
the COMKANDIR•IN•CRICR, accompanied by Field Mat-
shal his Royal Highness the Duke of Ciussatooe,Field
Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCRSTRR,
Field Marshal his Grace the Doke of Warlsaorox,
Field Marshal his Royal Highness the Prince of SAXE
COBURG, General the Earl of HARRINOTOII General
the Marquis of HASTINGS. General the Earl Of CATII-
CARt, General TARLETOR, General the Marquis of
ARGLESRA, General Sir HARRY CaLvinfr. General
Lord LyNanoctt, and several other General Officers.
His Royal Highness the Cosrmaionea-ut-Cutxr was
met at the entrance to the Review ground by a Guard
of Honour composed of a troop of the 17th Lancers.--
His Royal Highness was immediately joined by his Staff
in full dress, and having mounted his charger, he pro.
needed to the front of the line, where he was received
by a royal salute of 21 guns. His Royal Highness
then proceeded to pass in frqpt and rear cf the two
lines which were formed for his reception; after which,
he took the customary position so as _co command a
Clear view of the movements and attacks appointed for
the day.
The whole of the assembled force; commenced by
pa sing in parade, by troops, in front of his Royal
Highness; and their several appointments, notwith-
standing they had been exposed to a few flying showers,
appeared to be in excellent order. The column then
counter-marched, and finally trotted past and formed
into contiguous columns on the right of the Duke, from
whence the appointed operations commenced. The
tedious ceremony of marching in ordinary time, and
afterwards in single files. for inspection, was dispensed
with, and thus the business of the day was brought
to a conclusion much sooner than usual, but without
at all detracting from the merit of the display.
The following were the movements and attacks or-
dered to be performed :-
1. The Columns move in route.
2. The Fire of the Rear Guard announces a threatened attack
on the Rear of the Columns.
s. The Corps take spookiest to repel the Enemy by a Counter
Attack : the movements of the heavy Cavalry marked by the
Light Brigade, and Guns.
4. The Heavy Brigade attack in &bake of Regiments. Pur-

It was the opinion of the military men present, that
all this was done with great accuracy and precision, and
to the spectators unacquainted with the intricacies of
tuilithlr science, the splendour and imposing effect of so
lam a body of men in vigorous and rapid motion, al-
for&d the highest satisfaction. In the course of the
charges, two or dues of the dragoons were unhorsed.
Is conclusion all the Regiments saluted the C,oss-
siiimia-sx-Cadat, their bands playing “ God NW the
Zak" Upon which his Royal Highness retired, and
was followed as quickly as possible by the throng, many
