General Dix was in upd uniform, and rode a fine gray horse. He proceeded brisk trot, and slightly in advance of General Sandford. The band from Governor's Island struck up ‘Hall to the Chief,” and as tbe General rode Jong the line the strain was taken up by the bands of the Aifferent regiments, The soldiers presented arms, while Abe officers saluted with their swords and the colors were ri Genera) Dix in passing saluted each regiment. At this time the scene in Fourteenth street was mag- nificent in the extreme.

The inspection occu; about thirty minutes, and Gevera! Dix then took a short cut back fo the head of the column, which was imme- diately afterwards put in motion. To particularize apy regiment would be unjust in the present case, where all turned out in such splendid style which appeared to be the universal opinion of the tbou- eapds who witversed the inspection, - ‘he Procession. SPLENDID TURNOUT OF REGULARS, AND MILITIA. The procession was, without exception, the fluest aud largest display of military ever witnessed In this city. Some of our previous processions were, it is true, more nu- ‘merous; but it must be remembered that they were made up of civic societies as well as of military bodies, while the parade yesterday was composed exclusively of sol diers, From the bead of the column to the rear not & siogle civilian was to be seen fn thg ranks, witb the ex. ception of here and there an enterprising colored indi- vidual carrying palle of lemonade and ice water, or an ambitious youth, with unwashed face and rent garments, poeseseed of a miniature desire of shouldering musket. Hence it is-no exaggeration to si ‘that yesterday's procession was (he most exteusive in quanti- ty, aga military exhibition, that eyer took place in New York; and ag to quality, the same remark is equally ap- plicable, All the organizations that turned out seemed to be actuated by acommon desire to make their very dest efforte, They dressed well, marched well, looked well, and did well in every particular. Having said thus much on the subject, what can we say further that bas pot beeu stated a hundred times over’ The crowds we reat, immense, terrible (but thosa crowds often have Been described before), jamming. wg h Broadway and the other loading thorough. fares which are usually selected for a parade ground, We might attempt to photograph the people walking, and rumning, and jerking, and pushing, and langhing, and shoutivg, snd hurrahing, we might essay to describe the tremend ur entimsiasm generally, tbe appearance 0! the men, the preity dresses of ihe women, the tricks of the boys, the (eats of the pickpockets, the state of the at mr sphere, the condition of the streets, the conversa tions. dialogue, and a thousand other things vot partir u larly novel or ‘original: and, having done #0, possibly some idea might be conveyed of the reality; but it woul d pot be half so natural as the seeing and beholding for oneself—which no doubt most of our city and many of our country readers have actually done, We sbgil not therefore enlarge on the subject, but dismins it here and instantly, with the single statement that on no previous people greater, aud never perhaps were the masses more marsive.

But after all there was something unusual in the pro- cession of yesterday—soweiting 10 distil bith ite fellows in aremarkable maoner. We allude to tl Appearance of the regulars in the line of proceasion. the first occasion in a lony time that so iarge a boty of men belonging to the regular army have paraded 1p holid fashion through the streets of our city, aud the circut stance caused considerable interest on account of the great Feputation which the regulars have always enjoyed for pro- ficiency 1m drill and military discipline Comparison be- tween the two great branches of the army—the regular 5 and the militia or volanieers—was v © free to confess, very much to the The regulars undoubtedly acquitted themselves in a very easy, ulabored, yet creditable me as men who showed that thoy understood what wi ‘and could afford not to ma ‘oat effort and yet do cellentiy.

Tho Review at the City Hall. The review at the City Hall was one of the most im, poeing, military demonstrations ever witnessed in this city. The various offices in the building were crowded with spectators anxious to secure a location from which they could have a full view of the procession as it passed im review of the Mayor and the other members of the city government. The bour at which the procession was ex- pected to reach the Park was threo o’clock; but long before that time every avenue of approach to the “ halls of justice”’ were completely blockaded by a heterogeneous: mass of humanity, who bad taken possession not only of the building , but of the various avenues leading thereto.

At four o'clock the near approach of the procession ‘was heralded to the civic and military authorities who were in waiting at the City Hall. by a sifmultazeous bur rab, which resounded frem all parts of the Park and was re-echoed by the ‘‘celestial” group of young scamps who ensconced tl Ives in the various treetops ant id op lamp poste in the vicinity, This was the signal for the Mayor and military author! to take tbeir position in front of the building and await the arrival of the troops, who were now marching through Chambers street. ‘The Mayor, accompanied by both branches of the Com- mon Council, Major General Dix, Genoral Sandford, Gove. ral Meagher and a number of other prominent military officers, reviewed the soldiers as ti sed.

Notwithstanding the great interest felt by the whole community in everything rolating to the great Metropeit- tan Sanitary Fair, and which yesterday reached a culm) nating point, as was evinced by the unprecedented crowds of people that turned outfto witness the military display that inaugurated its forma! opening, there was 50 par ticular excitement around the building last night.
