GRAND REVIEW AT WOOLWICH.

YesterdaPthe---Vrhole;f the Royal Artillery stationed at Wool-
wich, consisting of two battalions of infantry, and several troops
of horse artillery, with their field-pieces, were reviewed on the
Common by Lord Edward Fitzroy, Lieutenant Master-General
of the Ordnance. . ..

About half past ten o'clock, his Lordship, accompanied by a
number of distinguished Officers, came upon the ground, and was
received with the tonal ceremonies, the troops being in line, with
their front towards the barracks, and flanked on their right and
left by the horse artillery, forming a Rost interesting appearance.
His Lordship and suite having rode up and down the line, then
took their station on the sight, when the whole having passed then,
in review order, changed their front, and the principal part of the
horse separated front the main body, and took up a position under
cover or the Academy, from whence they opened a brisk fire
from their field-pieces on the infantry, which the latter returned
by several discharges, both front their field-pieces and musketry,
and then, forming into close columns, advanced, and drove the
supposed enemy from their intrenchment further into the Com-
mon, where the horse several times halted, and renewed their fire
on the infantry front three different points, the infantry continuing
the pursuit, during which they performed several manoeuvres,
forming in line, and firing by companies, also forming in squares,
and opening a tire of musketry to resist the charge of cavalry, &c.
which, with the di•charge of so many fi:lel.p:ece., caused some
confusion among the equipages on the ground ; and the grotesque
appearance of the s;•ectators, who were flying in all directions to
get out of the way, was highly anniaing to those who were in
safety. About one o'clock the firing ceased, and the whole of the
troops having been again formed into line, saluted the General,
who repressed his approbation of their high state of discipline;
after which the troops marched off to their r:apective barracks.
Not the slightest accident occurred during the whole of the time.
On Friday, when the Artillery were practising the evolutions for
the Review of yesterday, one of them was severely injured, but
he is in a fair way of recovery. On Saturday another of them.
stationed to ram home the powder, mistaking, it is supposed,
the flash of the adjnining piece for that of his own, began to sponge
his gun just at the moment when the match was applied to it, and
consequently received the whole of its contents, which mutilated
and disfigured hint in a shocking manner—one of his eyes was
blown completely out of its socket, and one of his arms shattered
in a dreadful manner. He was taken to the hospital, where the
arm was amputated, and every assistance troubled hint, and we
understand some hopes are now entertained of his ultimate re.
