The Royal Volunteer Review this day has set London on the move. The Strand has presented a moving mass for the last three or four hours—and as none but the Brave deserve the Fair—fair sun shiny weather has come on to shed its splendour on this auspicious day. The sight is truly cheering in a national point of view. The long, close-serried battalions marching on to the enlivening sounds of the respective bands is altogether a very soul-stirring display. The men themselves walk with a truly patriotic step of pride and self-reliance to the— " Stormy music of the drum." Column after column keeps pouring along from the South over Waterloo Bridge, and from the East in long array. We cannot help wishing that NAPOLEON 111. were here to witness how true British Pluck has roused the many thou sands that now pour along the Strand to the cheers and welcome looks of the assembled multitudes that crowd the streets in rapturous joy. The Queen may well be proud of the sight re served for her this afternoon in Hyde Park on this truly National occasion. It is a grand display of patriotic and spontaneous fervour such as no coun try on earth has ever witnessed nor could match in all their panoply of slavish pride. A letter from a well-informed writer in Sicily gives us a clearer conception than we have had be fore of the causes of the vast moral superiority of GARIBALDI'S soldiers to those of the King of NAPLES. His success seems almost miraculous ; it reads more like some of the exploits of the old Hebrew judges than of a general of modern times. Yet the main facts are beyond doubt. Five and twenty thousand Royal troops, well equipped with the best modern implements of war, well supported by artillery, and amply supplied with ammunition, have had to capitulate to a little band r.ot exceeding about half as many hundreds as there were thou sands against them. Then they are getting on board as fast as they can, and but too glad to get out of the reach of the bayonets of the men in red shirts. Bat what was the larger army composed of ? Of men without any military traditions or mili- ' tart' spirit--men whose chief enthusiasm was for plunder—who whenever they have been needed for action,havei,,,„ stimulated by their officers, by the single indu cement of plunder. The Neapolitan soldiery were, indeed,ore formidable to the sub jects of the KING th an o any one else. Their object always was, w i t h thee ready that h they ey u d of l i the g h t police, to provoke a rebellioe: have an opportunity of sacki ng thetowns. Even the plund ere d. ra on their retreat before GAItIBALDI, u property and trek tted the women tatrociously. They had become f;oldiers by conscription merely ; they had no ardou r, like the French, for military glory ; they had 1541 en dul y drilled b y their pious KING in morning and evenin g p ra y ers, in con fession, and m as ses, and it was hoped, perhaps, that this would do for them what religion did for the old Puritan is and Covenanters. If the old KING really fane;ed so, had he now been living he would have seen pie difference between a faith and a formality, and would have learned that blind obedience to priests cannot supply the place of honest and deep convictions. The English religious armies, as MACAULAY tells us, had no fear of man, because they feared GOD. The priest-drilled Neapolitans feared neither GOD nor unarmed men, but fled, though ten to one, before earnest believers in that Divine Right of Man—Liberty. The KING does not seem to have doubted their quality as soldiers, and while they had mere townsmen to fight against,he seems to have had no reason to mistrust them. They easily put down the insurrection of ill-armed inhabitants ; they also had artillery, and they pre ferred to make attacks of the mountaineers a pre- :ext for plundering the town, to following the for• mer into the mountains. But there their courage seems to have ended. Pretext for pillage was all ;hat was wanted. The KING'S foreign levies have been much spoken of. The truth seems to have leaked out at last. Well, as the KING thought of his army so well that he lost the Swiss through their refusal to be amalgamated with it, he has always wanted foreign help: His auxiliaries are now even Bavarians. In point of fact, however, the great majority of three battalions formed since last summer are Austrians ! They had orders to call themselves Bavarians to avoid compromising Austria. The Bavarians are very few indeed. Now that this is known the King of SARDINIA will feel under no restraint, we trust ; his subjects are eager to enlist for Sicily, he has checked them, he has even detained the 12,000 muskets purchased by GARIBALDI with his sub scriptions. He will now surely give them his blessing to aid in liberating Naples and Sicily from , these Austrian Bavarians. Such were the men ; the officers, in their way, were little more trustworthy. The commissioned officers could not be taken from the better classes of society, because these were just the classes most disaffected to the King's Government. They are chiefly, therefore, " antiquated officers," the remains of former armies, men obliged to stick to their trade, and partly men who had worked their way up from the ranks ; to these may be added a few of the younger members of the aristocracy pleased to wear a uniform. The non-commissioned officers were if anything worse adapted to the real object for which the army was created. The poorer classes were not sufficiently educated to furnish them, they had therefore to be taken from such young men among the bourgeoise as had not the means of escaping the conscription, and thus the most dangerous element in Neapolitan society became the binding link be - tween officer and soldier. It was an army thus officered and composed of such materials—old superior officers, disaffected non-commissioned officers, and conscripts, to whom booty, not fighting, was the soldier's glory—that GARIBALDI met for the first time at Calata Fimi— not more, it is computed, than 500 of the Caccio tori, - without firing a single cannon shot, drove about 4,000 of the Neapolitans from one strong po sition after another at the point of the bayonet, capturing one gun, and defeating them completely. A defeat with such odds in their favour stunned the Neapolitans. They never recovered from it. It may be hoped they never will—never till FRANCIS 11. has packed up for Vienna or Munich, and all the Neapolitan soldiers worth retaining have turned over their allegiance to GARIBALDI and his master. The system which GARIBALDI is now pursuing seems to be a masterly one. He at first intended to rely mainly on his own men, and employ the squadre for outpost duties. He has now, however, divided his cacciatori into small cadres, or as we might term them, skeletons, of brigades ; these he is filling up with recruits from the most able-bodied of the Sicilians, and dismissing the rest. At the same time every one is inquiring for arms. They are the universal passion. There will be, therefore, a country armed, and two brigades already created, and being drilled by GARIBALDI for action. The Sicilians are marksmen already, and they are fast becoming soldiers. A foundry in Palermo is cast ing serviceable cannon ; but most heartily do we wish that in some way the gallant General could try the merits of our rifled cannon, and of our ARMSTRONG gun, on the unlucky men whose busi ness it is to hold Messina as long as they can for the miserable young tyrant—the tyrant against whom our Premier has already levelled the artil lery of a statesman in the British House of Com mons. We do not wonder that the reports are of various character as to the intentions of GARIBALDI. Reinforcements are certainly reaching him. Rumour says that 12,000 men, at least, will join him from Genoa, as soon as they can ; and Sicilians are, as we have seen, being rapidly disciplined to regular work. And to work it is. Pipeclay and all that sort of thing is discarded—" his secret is to do away as much as possible with useless and pedantic forma lities, and to simplify everything." No knapsacks, no baggage, a spare shirt and a towel in the pocket of the blouse, provisions in a havresack, ammuni tion in a pouch,—it is with such equipments he makes his rapid marches, and was in Palermo, when LANZA and LETIZIA had gone to bed the night be fore congratulating themselves that GARIBALDI and his band were defeated beyond giving further trouble. Whether with such an army he will contrive to land a considerable number in Calabria ; and, masking Messina for the present, march with the ever ready Calabrians, straight for the capital re- I mains to be seen. If he does, we have the utmost confidence in his skill as well as his dash ; and no regiments of the Royal army will probably venture to give him battle. The brutal young despot will be off, the guilty police will run also for their lives, and it is by no means unlikely, this time, that our ships of war will have to afford these runaways from justice, the shelter they have had to give sometimes to patriots. Almost simultaneously there have been noticeable recently in military circles two great bi-centenary commemorations. The commemoration of the two hundredth anniversary of the formation of the celebrated regiment of the Grenadier Guards— followed, a day or two afterwards, by a similar festivity in celebration of the two hundredth anni versary of the formation of the Scots Fusiliers. The colonelcies of these two favoured regiments, named severally above, are holden by princes of the blood Royal—that of the Grenadiers by his Royal Highness the PRINCE CosoßT, that of the Fusiliers by his Royal Highness the Cowman der-in-Chief. In each instance, therefore, as in leed could alone have been deemed fitting under the circumstances, his Royal Highness the Colonel, respectively, occupied the chair at the banquet given by his Royal High ness's regiment. As it fortunately happens, more over, both of the Princes are sufficiently clear at an after-dinner speech to render the discharge of the duties of chairman by each of them in turn rather agreeable than otherwise to the guests assembled round the board. The Duke of CAM BRIDGE, without making any pretensions to the Possession of the more delightful gifts of oratory, has manifested for some time past, in every word that has fallen from his lips in public, a manly common sense, at all times agreeable to the ears of Englishmen. The PRINCE CONSORT has often and often before now proved himself in the same rp L ix. A N E way to be equally felieitous in the dexterous utter ance of agreeable little commonplaces. Only— occasionally—at rare intervals—his Royal High ness has shown in a singular maßner an extraordi- The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : GENOA, JUNE 23. nary lack of discretion. It will be sufficient in regard to the past, if we call to mind for one moment the astounding intimation advanced by his Royal Highness during the course of the Crimean War when, as Master of the Trinity House, the Prince observed to his assembled brethren that—in contrast to the des potisms of continental Europe—here, in England, at that crisis, " Constitutional Government was on its trial !" The remark—singularly indiscreet falling from the lips of the CONSORT of the QUEEN —has not been forgotten ; it is not likely to be very speedily lost to the popular remembrance. So mush for the past evidence of his Royal Highness's indiscretion. Now for one present token of the same wonderful lack of good taste and sound judg ment. The observations we are going to particu larize as having escaped most unfortunately from the mouth of the PRINCE CONSORT only a few evenings back, when his Royal _High ness was presiding as chairman at the ban quet already specified doing se, as we have remarked, in his capacity as colonel of the Grenadier Guards, then celebrating their 200th anniversary—were not by any means as epigram matic as the one applied five or six years since to what his Royal Highness appears to have regarded I then as the perilous plight of our constitutional form of Government. The PRINCE CONSORT, in his recent speech, was expatiating (as ho well might) upon the prowess of the gallant corps of which his Royal Highness possesses the sinecure dignity and emolument of the Colonelcy : and — after enumerating many of their more renowned achievements upon historic battlefields—the illus trious speaker added—[we cannot but think most indiscreetly, most injudiciously, almost we had said most ominously]—" But, gentlemen, the duty of the British soldier is, unfortunately, not confined to opposing the external enemies of his country. It has been his fate sometimes to stand in arms even against his own countrymen—a mournful task, which, I trust, we shall never see again im posed upon him. In such circumstances the soldier is upheld by the consideration that, while impli citly obeying the commands of his Sovereign to whom he has sworn fidelity, he is purchasing for his country by his blood that internal peace and supremacy of the law which form the only basis of the liberties as well as the prosperity of the nation. This regiment, originally sprung from the Royalists who clung to CHARLES 11. during his exile, have always proved true to their Sovereign, whether they contended on the field of Sedgemoor in de fence of JAMES 11. against the Duke of MONMOUTH, or struggled heroically for five long years in the cause of GEORGE 111. against the revolted Ameri can provinces." Now, we ask any sane man to answer what is implied by these sinister allusions, these significant panegyrics, these ill-omened re miniscences? The significance of every lamentable word thus indiscreetly articulated is only too ap parent. We wish right loyally that those un called for words had never been uttered, or that, if uttered at all, they had at least not been uttered by the ROYAL CONSORT of our Beloved and Gracious Sovereign. According to advices from Naples, to the 19th instant, the Government had despatched three co lumns from Naples, viz., one to Basilicata, another towards Salerno, and a third to the Abruzzi. The chateau of St. Elmo had been fortified. It was asserted that it was the intention of the Govern ment to restore the two captured vessels. The American Minister, however, desired repara tion for the insult offered to his national flag. The King was ill, and was staying at Portici. 20,000 more soldiers cc oulcl leave for Sicily.

It is said that he has declared himself ready to use all his efforts for the realisation of this object, with out, however, accepting any particular post in the ministry. ZURICH, JUNE 22. Switzerland in her note to the Powers, a sum• mart' of which has already been published, also points out that France has taken military occupa tion of the neutralised provinces. Switzerland, therefore, declares that she persists in her views on the question, and maintains her protest before the Powers against the annexation if those provinces to France. She also asks for an immediate convocation of the Conference. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. The last bulletin respecting Prince Jerome is as follows : " VILLEGENTS, 22D, 7 A.M.—The weakness is increasing.

ACCIDENT TO THE COUNTESS DE PERSIGNY.— An accident, fortunately unattended by any serious conse quences, occurred yesterday afternoon to the Countess de Persigny while driving in Hyde-park. It appears that the countess was driving her pony equipage, when by some means the horses became alarmed and started off at a rapid speed, and the countess having lost all control over them, they eventually came in contact with a carriage at the turn facing Rotten-row, when the ponies were thrown, the pole broken, and the carriage injured. The Countess de Per signy, evidently in much alarm, was assisted from the vehicle, and at once conveyed to the French Embassy at Albert-gate. Their Royal Highness the Duchess of Cam bridge, the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and the Princess Mary, who passed shortly after the accident, at once proceeded to the Embassy, and were informed that beyond the fright the Countess de Persigny had sustained no inconvenience. The Nord of Brussels says that the Queen of England and Prince Albert will visit Belgium about the middle of August, on their way to Berlin to attend the bap tism of the Royal child to whom the P r i ncess Frederick William, the Queen's daughter, is about to give birth. The Queen and Prince are to b . e received at Ost en d b y th e P r i nce Regent of Prussia, who intends going to th a t p la ce f or sea ha.hing. The Prince Regent is to be godfather of the newly-born child, and the Queen of England godmother. The Channel Fleet is ordered from Leith to Yar mouth, there to await . orders. It is rumoured in n ava l circles that the Fleet 13 destined to take part in a great naval demonstration at Spithead next month, previous t-, the departure of the Prince of Wales for Canada, and after wards to accompany the Prince across the Atlantic.—Anuy and Navy Gazette. r h e e e l a c r ho o u n s e reliable leading mercantile Citylr authority, E h S a S s E .i L u t S I t a F t L r o ' e l t u e e u G i ekf ordersl3l. r ; p ri f c — r i t p , i a V 1 G e d firm in Sicily to purchase forthwith ten steamers for the use of Garibaldi in his future warlik e operations. The steamers are each to have a speed of not less than ten knots per hour, and accommodation for from 60.) to 1,000 infan try. As the vessels are instantly required, and must be those already used in the passenger trade (probably steamers now running between Hull and Cronstadt), a rather high price will have to be paid for the accommoda tion. The future intentions of Garibaldi respecting the other enslaved continental States may perhaps be guessed at from this important announcement,—Steam Chronfek, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1860. Miles Opened more convenient season. Manufacturers and malt sters, deprived of their wonted pecuniary accom modation, become insolvent, and their journeymen are thrown out of employment. Landlords post- pone contemplated improvements, and builders, brickmakers, carpenters, and the like are all driven to reduce the number of their hands. Of the work- ' men thus compelled to inaction the better class consume the savings which have cost them years of self-denial to amass, and the worse sort throw themselves at once on the parish rates. The small tradesmen, losing half their customers, sink into a condition only just above that of paupers, and are scarcely able to pay the enhanced rates which go to relieve their late supporters. It is scarcely necessary to add that all the institutions for the moral improvement or comfort of the poor receive a severe shock. Benefit clubs break ; clothing clubs lose their members ; school subscrip. tions and school pence fall off; infirmaries languish for want of funds; and mechanics' institutions are deserted. But a merely local misfortune operates within narrow limits. The neighbouring gentry, even if they suffer, rarely suffer more than attemporary in convenience. The more benevolent lay their heads together with the clergyman and contrive some thing to mitigate the worst cases of misfortune, and in the last resort the Poor Law interposes a barrier against absolute starvation. New capitalists soon take the place of those who have been ruined; active employment recommences ; and in two or three years no manifest traces remains of much misery except in the form of several new names among the tradesmen and employers, and an un ' usual number of young children in the burial register for the winter succeeding the crash. But how different would be the effect of a blow, which annihilated for an indefinite period allindus tries except those engaged in the supply of the mere necessaries of life. Some faint idea of the consequences may, perhaps, be formed by conceiv ing every town in the country reduced to the con dition of one in which a _local bank has recently stopped, and the metropolis itself retaining the appearance all the week which it now presents on Sundays. This illustration, however, involves the assumption that the victorious enemy not only ab stains from all violence himself but contrives to keep in their normal condition the 20,000 or 30,000 thieves and vagabonds who are now held as it were in solution in the circulating tide of industry. How would the working men fare after a fortnight of such a state of things? What would then be the rallying cry of the trades-unions when they were reduced to multitudes of hungry men clamorous for employment at any wage, with alas! no em ployment for them even on such terms ? No em ployment ; and what is more, no parish relief ! In such a state of things as would arise, strong men would die by hundreds, and women and children by thousands throughout the length and breadth of the land. Depend upon it, the security of the country and the inviolability of the metropolis is emphatically a people's question. Happily, the dreadful contingency which has for some time loomed before the eyes of many men who are far from timid, is next to impossible, if English men are only true to themselves, and magnanimous enough to prefer the honour of their country to the interests of their party. A war with this country must always be the last throw of a desperate gamester. But a despotically governed kingdom is a high pressureengine without a safetyvalve. Even the ablest ruler can never be secure that the trea chery, the folly, or the fears of his agents—and, in the last case, of himself in his weaker moments— may not at any time produce an explosion ; and should this occur, we may be pretty sure that some desperate gamester will arise. It is, I believe, un doubted that in 1848 the proposal for a coup de main on London was made to the revolutionary Govern ment of France, not by any obscure adventurer, but by a general officer of great reputation for civil as well as military qualities. True, our power of re sistance then was to our present means as th• strength of a child to that of a giant ;:but if our de fensive resources have grown, so have the offensive powers of our only possible assailant, while in the meantime the contrast between his institutions and our own has become far more striking, and the proximity of the two countries proportionally more pregnant with danger. But still, let Englishmen of all classes be true to themselves, and place confidence in each other, and there is no danger of defeat and disgrace, and next to none of war. The patriotic spirit of a portion of the nation has been thoroughly aroused. All that is now wanted is that no petty social or per sonal jealousies should be allowed to check the spread of the movement, from the higher and mid dle classes, even to the sound part of the lower. The honest artisan has a greater interest in the security of England and the stability of that free dom of which she is the chief representative in Europe, than even the millionaire. If possible, he should have the opportunity of showing this, and of contributing his part to swell the 120,000 volun teers of 1860, to double the number in 1861. If this is done, whatever system of defence professional skill may devise, there will be no lack of hands when occasion demands to carry it out.

They were, however, supposed to leave on the 16th inst. for the Italian coast. The Hannibal was at Palermo. The Agamemnon sailed for Messina and Palermo on the 13th inst. The London, Neptune, and Renown were at Naples ; the Gannet at Athens. The Exmouth sailed from Malta on the 11th, for Beyrout. The Mohawk sailed on the 9th for the coast of Syria. _ _ _ The Assurance was at Malta under repairs. The Caradoc arrived from Palermo on the 13th, and returned again the same day. The intrepid, screw gunboat, was at Malta, also the Hibernia. The Medina was expected to sail in a few days on surveying service. At Corfu were the Victor Emmanuel, Liffey, and Alacrity. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Alhambra was at Malta, also the Ceylon, which left on the 13th at 9 p in. with the Calcutta and China mails. At Gibraltar were her Majesty's ships Quail, Lapwing, and Scourge. On the 9th inst., above Malaga, the schooner Savage spoke the brig Sarah Jane (of Salcombe), rom Cardiff, bound to Alexandria, 29 days out, all well. On the 11th inst., off Malaga, the schooner Arrow, of Brixham, spoke the schooner Ann Maria, of Brixham, bound to England; all well on board. Her Majesty's troopship Megmra, with invalids for England, left Gibraltar on the 16th. The Royal Victoria Yacht Club schooner Sylph arrived at Gibraltar on the 15th, from a cruise in the Mediterranean, bound to England. She lost jibboom, B:c., in the late gale—otherwise, all well. The American barque Liberty and about 42 other vessels were either cruising or at anchor at the back of the Rock, The levant _Herald says :—" Letters from va rious parts of the interior confirm the intelligence as to the abundance and excellence of the silk pro duce of this season.

OURDEFENCES AND OUR DEFENDERS " A Hertfordshire Incumbent," in a letter to the Times, of this morning, says :—The answers of Lord Overstone to the National Defence Commis sion will have been read with the attention which the reputation of their author secures for every pro duction of his pen, and - will doubtless effect their object among the educated classes. But, unfortunately, the great mas s of the p eo p le are slow to conprehend that ruin to the possessors of property is almost a trifle compared with the utter misery that a national calamity such as that contemplated by the Commissioners would inflict upon themselves. In such convulsions tiie capitalist is indeed reduced to poverty, but the poor perish by myriads of siarvation. Allow m e briefl y to point out some of t he more obvious of t he misfortunes that would befal these, were any occupation of the metropolis by a victorious enemy ever to take place, and the industrial forces of the country to be con sequently paraltzA. Most inhabitants of our provincial towns have had some experience of the wide-spread wretched ness which results from even such a trivial misfor tune as thestoppage of a local bank. The neighbour ing small farmers at once dismiss as many of their labourers as they can possibly get rid of, and those who are a little better off dispense with the agricul tural implements they had intended to purchase, or defer the projected drainage of their wet lands to a Railways.

He, of all others, has made the popular ani lovely songs of Tuscany famous throughout the musical world. What mare charming in its rustic pathos and sim plicity than his " Ogni sabato narete it lume acceso," his "Rosa della Rosa," or more coquettishly winning than "Il mio amore ?" But it is wrong to particularise where all are so worthy of praise. Gordigiani was also highly spoken of as a church composer, and has died beloved by all who knew him,—Zra, THE ROYAL 'R REVIEW. With what anxiety did hundreds of her Majes ty's volunteer riflemen peep through the bedroom window-curtains between seven and eight o'clock this morning to ascertain the state of the weather, and, as the thick leaden-coloured clouds met their view, each must have pronounced despondingly the word " Rain." But as the day advanced, the heavy clouds began to disperse, and the hopes of thousands, that her Majesty would have " royal weather" for the review of her loyal volunteers, seemed certain of realisation. From the estimates that have appeared, between twenty and thirty thousand men of all classes and ranks in life will form the " force" to come under Royal inspection this afternoon for the purpose of showing the Queen of what stuff her men are made of, and in what numbers they can muster, with what conciseness they can learn their duties, and with what effective zeal they are ready to per form them. The moral aspects of such a spectacle are grand in the extreme, and all the more so when it is considered what has called this force nto existence, The very thought of prospective danger to the country was sufficient to arouse the chivalry of England. " There is danger," said the papers. " There shall be no danger," responded the flower of English manhood. "We have but a small army, and large possessions to cover," cried the alarmists.

"We will be our own army," re- plied all the able-bodied of the eountry. land is little thought of abroad," said some. ‘, Eng " We will make her respected," shouted the men who know what it is to be strong and to be free. The bare idea of an invader's foot upon our fair land, however improbable, was enough to rouse the blood of the country— " Then farewell home, and farewell friends— Adieti, each tender tie Resolved, we mingle in the tido Where charging squadrons fiercely ride, To conquer or to die." Such demonstrations as the present have a moral grandeur that cannot be too highly appreciated, and also show that Englishmen have something to keep, and that they are not disposed to part easily with it. Soon after ten o'clock this morning the different corps began to arrive at head-quarters, and then marched to Hyde Park, so that the streets of the metropolis were not the least interesting part of the ;ipts.

Sawbridge, ar rived from Woolwich this morning at an early hour to assist in keeping the ground, and three river steamers conveyed to London the joint local force of artillery and rifles, which consists of about 1,800 men, the Royal Arsenal Corps alone amount ing to upwards of 1,500. They embarked in the following order :—The brigade of Royal Arsenal Artillery, in command of Captain Ellis; the Ist battalion of Rifles, in command of Lieut.-Col. Parkyn ; the 2d Battalion Rifles, in command of Lieut.-Col. Anderson ; the 4th Company, or Woolwich Corps, in command of Major Parker; the Charlton Company, in command of Lieu tenant Graham ; the Plumstead Artillery Com pany, in command of Lieutenant Tongue; and the Dockyard Company, in command of Capt. Thorn. ton, commandant. They arrived at Westminster bridge about 12 o'clock, and marched through Bird cage-walk, up Constitution-hill, entered Hyde-park by Apsley-gate, and there commenced forming in line, in command of Col, Tulloh and Col. Thorold. The Hon. Artillery Company, 400 strong, with their splendid band, started from Finsbury at one o'clock, marched through the City and up Fleet street, and joined the Ist and 2d battalions of the City of London Rifles, 600 strong; the 4th, sth, 6th, 7th, 39th, and 40th Middlesex, and the 2d City of London also started from Gray's-inn at the same hour, 600 strong in the aggregate, with another division from Finsbury-square ; the 2d and 3d 'rower Hamlets, the 33d Middlesex (Totten ham), the Ist Essex (Romford), 2d Essex (Cran brooke), 3d Essex (Brentwood), 4th Essex (Chelms ford), and the 7th Essex (Rochford). These (2,800) at Somerset House took up 400 of Lord Bury's 21st Middlesex (the Civil Service Regiment). Passing the opening from Waterloo-bridge this long line joined on to itself the head of another column, consisting of 909 men ; three Surrey regi ments—the sth (Reigate), the 14th (Dorking), the 16th (Egham); five Kentish regiments—the sth (Canterbury), the 9th (Chatham), the 19th (Roches ter), the 26th (Maidstone), and the 31st (Leeds Castle) ; the five regiments of the Cinque Ports — the Ist (Hastings), the 2d (Ramsgate), the 3d (Rye), the 4th (Hythe), the sth (Mar gate), with two from Sussex—the Ist (Brighton) and the 7th (Horsham). At the Adelphi, the Scottish (19th Middlesex) fell in with 450 " bonnie laddies," none the worse this doubtful weather for wearing gaiters on their legs, and something closer fitting than kilts above them; and thus, with 4,509 men, Charing-cross was reached. Here the Ist Kent (Gravesend), the sth Kent (Blackheath), the 9th Kent (Plumstead), the 10th Kent (Royal Ar senal, Woolwich), starting from Westminster• bridge at half-past one, united a very soldierly, well-drilled body of 500 to the swelling tide, to which also, by this time, had poured in an addi tional stream coming up from Fenchurch-street of three additional Essex regiments, the sth (Plais tow), the Bth (Stratford), and the 9th (Silverton). On entering the Mall, St. James's-park, on the way to Constitution-hill, 14 Kentish regiments starting from the back of the Poor -law Board, added 1,560 to the thickly-gathering masses of grey and green-coated riflemen—viz., the 3d (Lee), the 4th (Woolwich), the 7th (Kid brooke), the 9th (Chatham), the 13th (Greenwich), the 18th (Bromley), the 21st (Lewisham), the 25th (Blackheath), the 27th and 34th Deptford, the 28th (Charlton), the 32d (Eltham), and the two bat talions of the 26th—an exceedingly fino body of men from the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. At Carl ton-terrace Lord Grosvenor's regiment, the Mid dlesex (Queen's)—a specially aristocratic corps— marched up, to the number of 950. At Buckingham Palace 690 men from St. George's Barracks, con stituting six Surrey regiments—the 2d (Croydon), the 4th (Brixton), the 6th (Esher), the Bth (Ep som), the 9th (Richmond), and the 11th (Wimble don) added their forces; the concluding aggregation accruing at the top of Piccadilly, from Colonel the Hon. C. Lindsay's 3d battalion, consisting of the 11th, 12th, and 13th Middlesex, comprising 600 men, and Captain the Earl Spencer's 4th battalion, comprising the 28th Middlesex, a distinguished corps (the Irish) about 400 strong. This fine body of nearly 9,000 men in one line entered Hyde-park by the Apsley House-gate. A similar scene and march took place on the north-western side, the stream merrily accumu lating from Euston-square, and rolling from St. Pancras and Paddington towards the Marble-arch and the Bayswater-gate. The attendance of spectators in Hyde-park at two o'clock was tremendous; and great as was the gathering on the occasion of the return of the Guards from the Crimea in July, 1856, the present assembly totally eclipsed it. The review ground was kept by two regiments of Life Guards, the 10th Hussars, and the Foot Guards. According to present arrangements the right of the line will be taken by the cavalry, and next to them will be stationed the Hon.

Mr. Vansittart, M.P., publishes the two follow lowing letters, addressed to his son by Father Clery, the priest, at Brighton : " I leave to the public," says Mr. Vansittart, " to decide on the value of his indignant denial that he did not, directly or indirectly, use any language or suggest to him any line of conduct with a view to his becoming a member of the Catholic Church." "My Dear William,—l expected to see you on Sunday, but I suppose the usual obstacles were put in your way to prevent you. If so, let me beg of You to put your confidence in God and the blessed Virgin Mary, and there is no fear but the day will come when you will be free from all restraint. Those present trials are allowed by the Almighty to try your fidelity ; persevere, then, in prayer that God may soon enable you to enter and become a member of His holy church. Don't mind suffering a little for God ; in fact, the more you do suffer the stronger ought to be your resolution. St. Peter and St. Paul were put into prison, and finally put to death, for confessing the name of Jesus ; also a St. Laurence was roasted on a gridiron for the same holy cause ; and when, above all, our Divine Saviour suffered for it, will not we, His followers suffer a little ? Be patient, then, for a while, and God will make all things easy in His own wise time. Hoping to see you soon, I remain, my dear William, your fond father in J. C., E. J. CLERY. " 12, Norfolk-road." "MY VERY DEAR WILLIAM,--I am extremely sorry that your noble efforts in so laudable a cause are for the present so constrained; let me exhort you to put your trust and confidence in God, and as the Israelities of old have been delivered from the slavery of Egypt, so will you in time be freed from all control. Pray to God, however, that He will hasten the time by softening the hearts of those who at present offer a seeming opposition. I need not say that I shall be most happy to see you at any time. I hope to be at home for you to morrow when you call, and I hope that time will afford us a long talk ; you have not said the hour William, your ye you,er very and when you would be likely t o cal l. In haste. I pray , then, that God in n soon crown your pra iseworth y efforts with success. my i s verygoodness dear y may bless sincere Believe fatherm e t o be, in "E. J. CLERY.
