SHANGHAI VOLUNTEERS. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Major. General Gascoign the Shanghai Volunteers were inspected by Colonel Fraser R. A. of Hongkong, last Saturday the 1tli inst. Besides the Volunteers, the Light Horse Artillery and German Corps were also present and all the manoeuvres were executed with most creditable exactness. The German corps, before failing in on the bund, had two photos taken in front of the lus Monument. Exactly at two o'clock the fire bell rung cight times from the Central Station followed by four guns from the Houaventure, which was the signal for the mobilizing of the Volunteers. Hended by the Drum and Fife and the Town Bands they marched down to the Racecourse where they were put through some field move. tments by their respective officers, at the con clusion of which Col Fraser expressed him- self as very well satisfied with their fine martial bearing.
