• THE LOIT'DON REV IEVir.
The Review of Volunteers and Regulars
heti at London on Tuesday, the 6th inst.,
was one of the most succe.ssful that has
yet been -witnessed in .Capada, -a convinc-
ing proof that the military. spirit Of our
people .has not died out, as some few
croakers would have us believe. ..

always an important consideration in
out -door demonstrations. A fine day
covers many defects With genial innshine,-
but a cold, wet,.drizzly-time is .sure to
throw sOamper over the most :perfectly
arranged programme,, On Monday night
there were a good many long faces in Lcin
don. -Cold, watery -looking clouds were
driven before the strong easterly wiled and
. everybody feared the -iIiorrow. would sen
a.drenghingrarn. . Committee -men feared
for their programme, merchants bemoaned
the expecteit,loss of sales, and enterprising
apple -women . contemplated ,the -financial
ruin, that Stared them in the fade with
„feelings of deep . deflection._ e The night
wore away, the glorious sun arose in
splendere and then everybody smiled and
. rubbed his other hands in a manner in-
dicative of great • satisfaction. The day
was to be a magnificent one ; that was
settled.
HOW THE PEOPLE OA31Z '
The country people in the:neighborhood
of London, we should say, were about the
first arrivals in the city on the -eventful
Morning. .At day -break,- and even long.
'before it Wagon loads of Smartly dressed
"yeomanry," attended. by their female
friends, camerattling in, the frequent
cheers and continuous babal of tongues
indicating that even at that early hour the
expectant tavern -keeper -3 -along the roads
bad placed a,few dimes in their tills. Peo-
- pie continued pouring in by every leading
road Weill nearly mid-day. Seen, too, the
railways began to -land huge Masses .of
excursionists, and. until the eleventh hour
it was one scene of arrival at the various
depots. About 1.0,000 people passed over
*Great Western, notwe ire soiry to
2 say, without several painful and one or
two ital accidenta. From Toronto. and
ether points considerable__ numbers passed
ever the Grand Trank„ but the trains on
this section were not crowded owing to
• what was Considered the exorbitant fares
- demanded. The boats of our -friends
• VanEvery & Rumball weri-made use of
by a number- of Volunteer- Companies
and hundreds of civilians from -Goderich,
Kincardine,. Southampton, Paisley,. &a•
- Landing at Sarnia the Lake -excursionists
• were taken over the Western at a very-
- moderate figure.
THE VOLUNTEE1* AT DINNER.
1Kost of the companies being in about'
noon, they were escorted to the extempor-
ized dining -hill in the: skating rink, near
the "Palace," and after, undergoing the
necessary ablutions, for which envie
preparations had been made,were invited
to sit down to a good substantial dinner.
The arrangements• of the committee, in
this respect, were perfect, and no com-
plaint, we aver, could be made, with.
regerd to any want cf appreciatiofted the
appetizing solieLs and fluids with which
the tableswere laden. The hungry volun-
teers enjoyed their dinner heartily and
must have felt.materially fortified for the
trying exercises of the day whenktheY had
disPosed of it.

misunderstanding took place on the morning
of Monday between deceased and prisoner, in
colt -sequence of the latter breakinga barrel

these words are very simple, and bear a very
obvioutmeaning.. But it aeries there is mom
hidden in their simplicity than most people
would suspect. Any tnitiated person reading

the placards was to convey the idea that with-

not be any of the - steamers lying close by,
with steam up, to.tow the others Out of dang-
