VOLUNTEER REVIEW.

GENERAL Orders were issued some days a,ro for a Grand Volunteer Review at Epsom, in a paddock kindly lent for the purpose by Mr J. May. Several of the corps made preparations for the event, and amongst others Capt. Burns, who is always mindful of the wants of his command, pre pared refreshments to be supplied in a tent pitched on the ground. The expense gone to was considerable, and great disappoint ment was therefore experienced when, in consequence of the threatening aspect of the weather, Major I). H. Lusk last even ing determined to countermand the orderr. It was arranged that due notice of the fact that the order countermanding the original plan should be given, but owing to an oversight, it was not published. Conse quently at the appointed hour this more ing, volunteers of all the corps began to muster at the dril-shed, and in response to a general request, and as the weather looked, propitious, Major Lusk determined after all to inarch the forces to Epsom, and carry out the original plan. Two guns were therefore fired at half-past nine o'clock as a signal for the '•assembly," and the Volunteers mustered from the parts of the city. The Volunteer Arti liery, under the com mand of Captain Burns, Lieutenant Payne, aud Sub-Lieutenant Norrie, mustered out-

side the Drill-shed, numbering 60 men, with two 6-pounder Armstrongs. The fol lowing corps paraded in the Drill-shed:— Engineer Volunteers, under Capt. Ander son, with the following officers : Lieut. Kitchen, Dr. Dawson, and 28 men. Sergt. Major W. Head was also present Only a few members of No. 3 Company paraded.

The Scottish Company paraded to the num ber of about .20, under Lieut. Codling, Sub-Lieut. Home, and Color-Sergt. Dickson. The Navals numbered 30, under Captain Leßoy, Lieut. Chapman, and Sub-Lieut. 1 Parker. The Victoria Company paraded about 20 strong under Captain Derrom and Lieutenant Mahon. The Engineer Cadets paraded to the number of 30, under Captain White, and Sub-Lieutenant Mears. The following bands were present : —Artillery, under bandmaster Hunter ; Engineer Band, under Mr Inipsy ; and Victoria Co. Band, under bandmaster McComish. This made a total strength, including non combatants of about twenty-five officers and 250 rank and file. Sergeant-Major Haslem was present, and Bugler Lee acted as bugler to the commanding olticer. Tht, corps having been inspected, were served with ten rounds of blank cartridge per man. They then marched out by fours, and headed by the Artillery Band, with the other "bands in front of their respective corps, moved to Epsom, where they were met by 35 of the Otahuhu Rifles, under Captain " Gordon, and Lieutenant Hendry, and 21 of the Pukekohe Rifles. under Captain Harris. The Nixon Light Horse, to the number of 30, including the country division, under Captain Isaacs and Veterinary-Surgeon Kinloch were already oil the ground, with the following non commissioned officers : Sergfc. Hcyde and Major Walters, Sergts. Martin and Hunter' This brought the total strength to about 300 men. The corps halted in open columns in the paddock, piled arms, and were orderdd to break off for a quarter of an hour. At the end of that time the bugle sounded the " fall in,"and the corps having mustered, markers were placed, and the corps formed in open column right in front, in the order : Cavalry, Artillery, Victoria, and No". 3, Pukekohe, Qfcmhu, Scottish, Navals, Cadets. ThjijMßEinies wheeled into line, ■»ul at 12 ]ll^E|PfP one o'clock the first gun was fired b^p Artillery, between each seven _ rounds of the royal salute, the infantry iiring a feu d' jole Something was wrong with No. 2 gun, which caused an irregularity in the time of the Artillery salute. The feu d' joie was creditably performed, the time in the fii'St being very good. though there was a tendency in the centre and left of the line to fire top hastily. Tlie bands lin 1 rear played the National Anthem at the end of each round, and at the close three cheers were given for the Queen. The Cavalry were then dismissed. The companies wheeled back into open column, and marched past in quick time. They then formed quarter distance column °a the end of , company, and again marched past in quick time, after which the corps were dismissed %o their private parades. The wheeling at the points was creditably performed. After the regular review the % corps indulged into some independent skirmishing, keeping up a good fire. The Artillery jicso had some practice with blank ammunition. Ample refreshments were provided, find the entire affair so far as it went} was a decided success.

REVIEW AT THE THAMES. The ''Thames Advertiser" says: —"A general battalion parade and sham" fight of tlie Thames Volunteers is ordered by the Majer commanding. The band of the No. " Haurakis is ordered by Captain Paul to attend at the Volunteer Hall at an early tour, to bring in the Shortland companies to the general parade ground at Grahams tovni. It is expected by the commanding officers of the several corps that the attend ance of members will be large, and, no doubt, the weather proving favourable, the held day will be the most successful seen on the Thames for several years. "

BEHAVIOUR OF THE TURKS AS SOLDIERS.

The following letter in the " Standard" is b.V the eldest son of Admiral Maitland alJJougal, of Scotscraig :— " I should like to sent before your readers jay humble impression of the Turkish Private soldier, after an experience of four mouths in the camp of the Army of the jUorava, from the middle of August until *?e latter days of December, during which "me I have seen his t. %viour in action, in day camp life occupying the town of •^exHiatz. It has been stated that the oeliaviour of the Turkish army in Servia JV Htte better than the conduct of th*> L*asai-Bazoiiks in Bulgaria. INow it -would

I the lawless riff-raff" of Turkey. Tn action I the Turkish soldiers are undpubtedtly ■ fierce, but on no occasion did I see evidence of mutilation of the wounded, a charge so frequently alleged against them. The fact that few prisoners or wounded were taken may easily be accounted for by the three reasons—l. Little or no quarter was given by either side; 2, the Servians made a point of carrying off their wounded —also, if possible, their dead ; 3, the Serbs seldom care to let the Turks get too close to them. The prisoners that were captured daring or after tke fight, when brought into c imp, were, to my certain knowledge, kindly C red for, and when disabused of the im pression, carefully instilled iato their minds by the Russians so as to prevent deser tion, that capture meant torture and death, the usual request was that they might not be returned to .h? care of the Muscovite officers. Living for months. as 1 did, in the heart of a camp con taining more than 50,009 Turkish troops, I naturally can speak with force on the subject of their behaviour in every day life. Among the 50,000 were men from Central Asia Minor, the Coasts of the Black Sea, and European Turkey, with a sprinkling of Syrians, yet, notwith standing the mixture, their conduct was excellent at all times, and the black sheep among them were restrained by a rigid discipline. Crime was, compared with w rhat it would have been in other armies, extremely rare. Of course the prohibition of the drinking of wine or spirituous liquors had much to do with this. Let me say to any who may doubt the extent of their tcetotalism that during my four months with the army of the Morava Valley T never saw a single case of drunken ness, either amongst officers or men. Never save once did I see any quarrelling, and this case was not serious, only a hot dispute concerning the ownership of a Servian rifle. Their bearing was always one of willing obedience to their officers, and among themselves of rough but hearty good nature. . To us, as Englishmen, their conduct was exeni-

plary ; never did I meet with anything ljut courtesy from Pasha or soldier, a courtesy which springs so naturally out o' the Turkish nature —its politeness is innate. They sliewer" even more than this

—there existed a warm feeling between us, due partly to the ancient love for England, and due partly to the fact that in many points the true Turk and Englishman own the same nature. Among their common qualities arc patience, gravity, quiet good nature, and capability for suffering hard ships and reverses, and, I mxist not forget, love for children. The camp was a picture of imsiness-like quietness, 'good behaviour, and jstrict attention to duty. Often, of course this latter — duty — was not carried out in a fashion to please the strict, methodical eye of an English commander ; but, as far as the simple soldier was concerned, there was earnestness, often enthusiasm in the exe cution of even a commonplace duty. No case of thefr. or mutinous conduct ever came before my notice. In Alexinatz not a house was burned or destroyed ; the church was respected, sentries being placed at the door to guard it from injury, and save for a shell hole through the roof it is intact."

THE ETENING STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1877.



The best bag of pheasants which we have heard of as having been shot on the 21st was obtained by Mr T. A. Brown, who brought home eleven brace. Considering the state of the weather this is a very good swag, and we doubt if there are many to beat it recorded in the colony. Oxe of the Advantages of direct communication with America is apparent by the introduction of the Self-Acting ROLLER Blind. This Roller Blind is perfection. Works in the most natural and ea-sy manner. No side lines and rack* to get out of order. It fall 3 and rises* noiselessly, and the instant response to the gentlest touch of the hand is amos? pleasing feature. It has been patented and tested for the last 12 years in America, superseding all other kinds. The ROLLER BLIND OF THE ACS is obtainable only at the City Hall Arcade. All new Buildings should be fitted with them, the expense being very little more than the old fashioned sort, and they can be supplied fer windows of any size by Holloway and Garlick, General House Furnishers.— [Advt.l
