The annual Volunteer Review came off on Easter Monday at

Dover. The men were brigaded for the first time with soldiers of the Line, and did very well indeed, especially the artillerymen. An old volunteer points out in another column that a great opportunity was lost of trying to work a military telegraph, and, we may add, of testing departments as well as men. Next Easter we trust 30,000 men will be camped for two days near Dover, fed by the Commissariat, and lodged by the Quartermaster-General's staff. If an enemy were landing, Volunteers could not live in hotels, or be fed by civil provisioners, or left with one supply of cartridges. The organization for each 25,000 men ought to be as complete as if they were going to take the field next week. Is it?
