4 MILITARY VIsIr.-We are informed that
our City is 10 be visited on Tuesday next by
three uniformed Companies Of organized and
disciplined female Infantry (Lancers) from
Pennsylvania and Ncw-Jcrsey, known as The

ion by masculine Colonel and Lieut.. Colonel,
but the several companies will be oficcred
throughout by ladies. including captains on
horseback. The battalion will be met at the
Jersey City Ferry at 10 o'clock by q company
of our National Guards, and escorted to the
Park, where our fair visitors will give evidence
of their proficiency in Military evUlutions and
exercises, repairing thence at an carly hour to
the AstOr House for dinner, visiting the Amer
lean Museum in the afternoon, and spending
the evening at the Crystal Palace, whence
they will take up their hOmcward march

most cstimablc young ladies Of Patterson and
Elizabcthtown. \. j., and of Harrisburg, Pa

care at this time to make is, that while the
North and North-W West have the reputation of
originating and impclling oil the .'W oman's

THE FAIRY LIGHT GtARD'' bare not been
heard from in this quarter since their agent
was over here from New w-Jcrsey on Friday last,
profcssedy to make arrangements for their
reception and parade to-day. We couldn't
advise any one to stretch his neck very far in
looking out for them. nor aggravate his cOrns
in running in quest Of them. If they do come
and parade in the Park, visit Barnuu's Mu-
scum, and spend the evening at the Crystal
Palace as promised, we'll make note Of the
facts.
