THE ARMY.

Wednesday, the 2d Regiment of Ayrshire Yeomanry, having
completed their period of :raining were reviewed--and went through
their different evolutions with a precision and rapidity which did
high credit to themselves.
GRAND FIELD DAY.

Hyde Park was this day the scene of some very capital snanteu-
vres, performed by the Battalions of the Foot Guards in town,
condsting of the Coidstmms and the Third Guards.
As it was known that the review of these Regiments would take
place, the Park wee crowded by hundreds of persons, who ex-
tended in every direction. troupes of Field Officers, mounted,
filled up the splendour of the military cortege.
The inspection of the 3d Regiment commenced at eight o'clock,
and that of the Coldstreams at half pail nine, by 0)I. M.DONNIIL.
At 10 o'clock the Review commenced by the Battalions falling
into line, and advancing in review and open order. The line ex-
tended from its left near Cantberiand-gate, close to the clusters

of trees.
The line having presented arms, marched In companies, divisions,
and in close and open order, and executed !several movements with
great quickness and good discipline.
The Battalions having again deployed into line, marched inclose
companies towards their previous left position, to attack or repel
the advance of an enemy.
The Light Companies were detached, and with quickness dis-
persed themselves among the trees, to the sudden alarm and sur-
prise of great numbets of spectators who had reposed themselves
under the graves for shelter from the intense heat of the sun. The
Light Companies, in this skirmish, kept up an unceasing indepen-
dent fire for above half an hour, when they retreated, and formed
Into small squares, to cover themselves from the attacks of light
Cavalry.—The main body formed also at different positions, and
angles of the ground hollow squares, in which a fine independent
fire was kept up with admirable quickness. The forming of those
squares was the work of an instant, and excited very general admi-
ration among the spectators. The independent firing was of the
first order. The Battalions concluding it Many' with a general
volley from the kneeling flanks.
The Battalions then fired by Companies, marched and advanced
{in open and review order, and the splendid scene terminated -
sef twelve o'clock.

BLACK MAN'S DREANI.—A number of years by.
gone, a black man, named Peter Cooper, happened to marry one
of our fair town's.women, who did not use hint with that tender-
ness that he conceived himself entitled to. Having tried all other
arts to retrieve her lost affections in vain, Peter at last resolved to
work upon her fears of punishment in another world for her con-
duct in this. Pretending, therefore, to awake one morning extra-
vagantly alarmed, ►is helpmate was full of anxiety to know what
was the matter; and having sufficiently, as he thought, whetted
her curiosity, by mysteriously hinting that " he could a tale un-
fold," at length Peter proceeded as follows:—" H—U of a dream
last night. I dream Igo to Heisben and rap at de doa, and a gent'-
matt come to de doa wid black coat and powda hair. Whoa dere ?
