GRAND REVIEW ON HOUNSLOW IMAM.

Upon no occasion for many years post has the Western
road exhibited sect' a !ramie& train of vehicles as yesterday.
The morning was gay and inviting, Ind the cavalcade was
splendid in the extreme: open cat riages exhibhiwg a di,-
play of native beauties in costumes not to be equalled by
any other e Juntry. The town of Brantford was a completn
stoppage, and at llouoslow it was impossible to get a bait
for a hungry horse. At twelve o'clock the rain poured in
torrents, and unsay elegant parties declined pursuing their
route any further. Anxiety and hope were on the stretch as
to the time when the Review would begin. until the Duke of
Wellington passed through Htninslow. This was the signet
for a general hart, disregarding the elementary rage at this
moment. The silks, satins, plumes, dr. of the in ice is
open carriages were *polled. Officers in uniform, not im-
mediately attached to the review, rode and remained on the
spot uncloaked, and the anticipation of better weather, 11111
the object in view, left bet few behind. At one o'clock his
Royal highness the Duke of York, as Commander in Chief
rode in front of the line, widen had been formed more than
two hours. His Royal highness was accompanid by the
Dukes of Cumberland and Wellington, and a numerous r...
Cane of General Officers. The Regiments inspected were'
formed thus :

On the right—Artillery.-24 First Life Guards.-3d
Horse Guards (Blues.)-4th Seventh Light Hussvrs,-sth
Third Light Dragoons.—Oth Fifteenth Light Dragoons.

Soon after the arrival of the Commanders in front of the
line, the royal salute having been fired, the Review c sm-
menced as follows:—The Duke of York ' • on his right Lord
E.Sonterset, on his left his Grace the Duke of Wellingt.in,
inspected the line, which ht.d a most imposing awaran,
as to steadiness ihd cleanliness. At the close of the insp e-
' lion the Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of Wel.ingios,„
Lord E. Somerset, the DO. .of Cumberland, Prince et
Soling, and I numerous retinue of Geoeral Officers, took
their station in front of the line opposite the landau of the
Mirtpiestof Anglesey. occupied by the Ladies Paget and
other peril of the fatally, The troops then passed the Royal
Duke in division, and afterwards in single file; the co
mender of each joining the Commander-in-C def ar er head-
ing their regiments in review order. At this time t e rain
poured down in torrents, and ()dicers rein i ed un IJakee.
The Duke of Wellington was loudly cheered out heading his
regiment (the Blues). The spirit of the Review now began.
but the fall of rain prevented its splendor from being aerate
advantage. Lord Somerset gave the command, and the tac-
tics were most scientificelly imposinx. A shairtigtt then com-
menced, and the evo utious lasted without intermissiee of
henry rain until past four o'cloek. Without going into the
length of printed orders, we need only state that hi It SUP.,
posed charge of ari enemy towards the assemblage of per,
sons present, • delightf..l spectacle was presented. TI
next attack was by the light brigade under the command it
Lord C. Manners upon the enemy (tae Blues and the Guards),
who received them, retiring by squadrons alternately, and
skirmishing. The best part of the attack, to those whO en-
destood it, and which was most admirably managed, was
the attack of the light brigade upon supposed info:dry, sae-
ported by artillery and cuirassiers.. The Review closed
with the whole deploying into line, when a general saints
was fired, and Gud save the King was played. The C.
(areal bands played as the regiments passed In file.

The only confusion are noticed was, that would-be re•
viewers mounted on /fusion/tics, not• bred near platter

hones and riders were wedged in by carrieges, and could
neither escape the roaring of cannon nor the fall trent the
