AUCKLAND RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.
A parade of the Auckland Rifle Volunteers was held this morning, at half-past six, in the Albert Barrack reserve. There was also a very good attendance, about 100 men, including the band, having put in an appearance. Ten rounds of ammunition were served out, and the members practised the feu dejoi, formed into battalion and company square to resist cavalry,'firing 'in file, and some skirmishing were gone through somewhat better than usual. . We learn that these parades are to be held every week for'the present.
