GENERAL CODRINGTONwould ask the Under Secretary for War whether the Regiments and Battalions ordered for the parade in Hyde Park on the 26th instant will be those which served in the Crimea; and, if not, what objection there is to battalions in the neighbourhood of London, or detachments from them, being brought up for that purpose?
§ SIR JOHN RAMSDENSir, in answer to the hon. and gallant General's question, I beg to state that the great majority of the battalions and regiments which are to be on the parade in Hyde Park on Friday next are those which have served in the Crimea. There will be present a park of the Royal Artillery, a troop of Horse Artillery, two field batteries, two regiments of cavalry—namely, the 6th Dragoons and the 11th Hussars—three battalions of the Guards who were in the Crimea, and two regiments of the line—namely, the 79th, and the Rifle Brigade who had also been in the Crimea.
