Regiment TO Visit England.

From the New York Timss, 10th.]
TIE SEVENTH REGIMENT 10 De INVITED 10
ESoIASD-0f the Kindly fruits to come Of
the Prince Of Wa1cs visit to this country, it ID
stc!cely probable that the present generation
will see the full benefit, but Of The genial
wnrmth Of feeling which is to produce them,
even the present moment furnishes IN illustra-
ton It Ia well known that one Of the Princes
most pleasant surprises was that afforded by
the brilliant spectacle OF our military conlpa-
nies-a spectacle which, in no other part OF
the world, has parallel Compared with the
recently organized volunteer companies Of his
own country, there was m evident superiority
here, which could not fail to excite hls admi-
ration
Cur!ousIy enough whilst the Prince WIS thus
Fasting hts eye on our citizen defenders, the
volunteer companies Of England were actually
discussing among themselves the project Of
inviting an American regiment to England,
eyer may have been the little yunittes anu
superduiues Of the Volunteer movement }n
Britain, 1t Is creditabe to 1t that 1t has on all
occasions looked to the United States for the
full embodiment and illustration Of its mean
lng. The reception given to the Prince
warmed the vntious companies into a desire to
show this practically; but, - we hare no
celye the homage Of generous people, It Tns
ereigns; and as the Seventh Regiment is per-
1aps the finest specimen Of what the Empire
State can prodnce, it WIS determined that this
should be the chosen body.
The suggestion was received with 50 much
enthusiasm that there Is no longer doubt
3. about its practical realization. The Seventh
Regiment may consider itself booked for Lou
don. and not In i commonplace Adziatlc, or
vulgar Persia, but in first-class British fri
gate, with lots Of bunting flying and the smallest
possible allowance of coal in the hunks; forit
Is stated that the Government h1s expressed
steamers Of the first class at the disposal Of
the volunteers, for the purpose Of conveying
the Americans to London and back again In
London the regiment vii! be placed under eff
cient charge, CHARTERED sumptuously, and duly
ciceroned to every place Of interest in the Eng
lish metropolis, and every other part Of the
tight little Isle The expense Of this interi1a-
tional courtesy is estimated by the volunteers
at $4,000, but the enthusiasm is such that il
double that amount be needed it will be forth
coming.
The members Of the Seventh Regiment have
4 adccilcdiy pleasant time before them, and on
their return vii; be able, We are sure, to boast
Europe without bloodshe1. To be conveyed
to London, entertained there for ! fortnight,
furnished with IN unlimited supply Of Hanson
cabs, supplied with 4 universal railroad ticket,
and then re-emtarked amid the booming Of
friendly guns aud changing Of brass bands, en-
ulous OF tying the rational airs Of the two
countries into true lovers knots,is something,
even In these depressed times, to look forward
to with pleasure. Blood, after all, Is thicker
than water. Only few weeks ago a Mr.. Klotz
Kousscll w:s condemned to an isnominious
Press death for proposing that the English
volunteers sboull yisit Paris in their uniforms,
apparently for the purpose Of atIording little
49,
1t was in the very n,idst of the howl which
this proposition excited that the present move
meui was inauyurated, and we have reason to
know that from that moment to the present 1t
has grown in popularity, until 1t may now just
" be regarded O. .tuit aeeon.fxL The final ar-
engagements would have been completed crc
this hut for the tact that the English voiun-
teers were anxious to await the Princes re-
turn, in order that hs might have the Plea :ure
Of leading tic movement.
