induce more tl

leave the ground for the time, so anxious were all to'witness
the movements of a corps which deservedly stands in high
estimation amongst our domestic" hoops. .

Before noticing the review, it may be well for the gratifi-
cation of those interested to state that the whole regiment
now comprises 494 men, including 32 officers and staff-
officers. Of the Whole only 20 men were absent, with leave;
and only six members (including a Lieutenant) are wanted
to make up the complement,—or 600. The following are the

Antrbbus

Mr. Fagan has. we learn, gained great praise from the
officers for his attention to the duties of Veterinary Surgeon.
There was a vast concourse of persons on the Sands, many
of whom came in carriages and on horseback. The ground
on the east and south sides was densely crowded, and but for
the want of a grand stand, reminded us of the course at Ain-
tree pending a great race. Nor was there any want of ani-
mal refreshments, cakes, gingerbread, &c.
The movements and word of command iu the field exercise
of the day were exceedingly interesting, and many of them
intricate. The following were the principal :
I Close column on the fourth squadron left in frOnt.
2 The column will take ground to the right.
3 Deploy on the third squadron.
4 The iine will advance the third squadron directs.
5 Change front to the left on the third squadron.
6 Retire by threes from the right of squadrons, and form
line.
7 Advance in double column from the centre. Right
column directs. •
8 Form,lit►e to the right.
9 The line will advance.
10 By threes change position right back.
11 Close column left in front on the fifth squadron.
12 Attack by squadrons and retire by threes from the flanks.
13 Deploy on the fifth squadron.
14 The line will'advance, covered by skirmishers.
15 Open column in tear of the right. Wheel into fins.
1G The line will 'attack to the front, the third squadron

directs.
17 Retire in double column from theleft of the third and

fifth squadrons. -
18 Form line to the rear on the leading troops.
Advance in parade order and salute ; at the halt the officers
salute and carry swords, taking the time from the command-
ing officers.

Many of these movements were performed with a preci-
sion which we should scarcely have anticipated from a body
not in regular practice. No. 6,7, 12, 16 and 17, were par-
ticularly effective, as was also the salute to the reviewing offi-
cer by each of the five squadrons in passing. The horses
kept well in line, and the whole regiment earned the praise
of a fine looking and expert body of men. They arrived on
the sands about half. past ten o'clock, and retired from the
field in excellent order about two.

The following is the regimental order that was read to each
division on the same evening; and it is highly commendatory
of the good discipline and orderly conduct of the whole
corps:--

"'Liverpool, 7th June, 1843

- _
" Lieutenant-Colonel Egerton cannot leave without ex-
pressing to the regiment how highly satisfied he has been
with the good conduct, cleanliness, and orderly behaviour,
as well as with the attention they have paid in the field.
Lieutenant-Colonel Egerton has much pleasure in stating to
them, that Lieutenant-Colonel St. Quintin expressed him-
self highly satisfied with their movements, and every thing
he saw during his inspection. Lieutenant-Colonel Egerton
begs to return his best thanks to the officers, non-commis-
sioned officers, and privates, for all their exertions during the
last week ; and also for their excellent conduct, under most
trying and distressing circumstances, during the period they
were out last year in aid of the civil service." _ _ _

The allusion at the conclusion refers to the services of the
regiment when called to suppress some of the disturbances in
the manufacturing districts. They were then on duty nearly
five weeks—from the 18th August to the 10th September,
and also part of them in July at Congleton and the Potteries
in Staffordshire.

The only accident we noticed was one, the effects of which
were extremely laughable, but which might have had a
different result had not there been a number of persons pre-
sent. A little towards the north-westward of the first land-
mark is a quicksand, into which a rather " extensive swell,"
mounted on a fiery charger, galloped. Amidst the shouts of
the spectators and the laughter of hundreds, horse and mae
were soon seen rolling like, as John Reeve used to say, " a
couple of young porpoises or whales at play." By the dint
of great exertion the unhappy cavalier was extricated, co-
vered, from head to foot from top to toe—spectacles in-
cluded—With a thick coat of mud, reminding one of a plaster
model of the statue of Don Guzman done in sand stone.
Having remounted, the gentleman rode•off to a neighbouring
hotel to get scraped down, amidst " loud cheers and very
marked applause."
On Tuesday the officers and several of their friends were
hospitably entertained by the Mayor at the Town-hall, who
gave them a sumptuous dinner. On Wednesday evening
the officers and their friends, to the number of upwards of
20, including the Mayor, dined at the Adelphi. The repast
was got up in Mr. Radley's best style.

The regiment left the town yesterday morning, in sepirate
troops, on their way homeward—some to Stockport, others
to Salford; &c.

[ln our last we stated by mistake that the new colours were
handed to the cornets. We should have *said to the quarter-
masters.]
