AN EARLY PAMPHLET OF LOUIS NAPOLEON.-- The Revus de Geneve publishes extracts from a pamphlet written by Prince Louis Napoleon in 1833, when he was residing at Arenenberg, In this remarkable print L. Na poleon , declared that " Switzerland was desti ne d to cover the frontier of France," and that the day may come when France " will take her revenge for Waterloo, and revive Jena and Austerlitz."—Advertiser. " ° "'7 9 : THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY!: EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1860: LONDON' AND SOU2H WESTERN RAILWAY. HALF-YEARLY MEETING THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this undertaking was held at the Waterloo station this day—Captain Mangles, chairman of the Board of Directors, presiding. The Secretary (L. Crombie, 'Esq.) having read the mi nutes of the previous meeting, and the report (which has already appeared in The Sun) having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN rose to move its reception and adop tion, and said the directors felt great gratification in meeting the directors on the present occasion, because their affairs were far more auspicious than they were in February last, they being enabled to de clare 'a dividend equal to that at the corresponding period of last year. (Hear, hear.) He felt satisfied that tits whole of the shareholders would agree with him that, in looking to the vast extensions that were going on, they had made a good fight in holding on their own. (Cheers.) Since their last half-yearly meeting a charge had been made against the directors of the South- Western Railway of breach of faith, but he would not de tain the meeting more than by just making a passing allu sion to the subject. It had been said "in another place" —(hear, hear, and laughter)—that they had been guilty of a breach of faith with the public in not carrying out their en gagement, but at that moment they had carried out their engagement by making a line which was much better than the coast one. It had been approved of by the most eminent naval and military authorities, and the charge made against the company of a breach of engage ment was therefore untrue, ungenerous, and unjust. (Hear, hear.) The company was much indebted to two noble lords who had cone forward and done that which was not very fashionable at that time, namely, defend a railway. (Hear, hear.) It was now considered fair for any person to attack and depreciate railway property, and therefore when they found two noble lords adopting the rare course of defending and vindicating the directors from the charges made, he thought such honourable exceptions were worthy of their deepest thanks. (Hear, hear.) In the last half-yearly rejig the directors expressed a h o p e th a t th e arrangements then conditionally made with the Bris tol and Exeter Railway Company, for the construction and working of a joint station at Yeovil where the two systems meet, would receive the sanction of the pro prietors and Parliament. The proprietors at that meeting accorded their approval; Parliament has since confirmed the transaction, and arrangements were now in progress for erecting the joint station. The extension line from Yeovil to Exeter was opened throughout for traffic on the 19th July. The line and works had been most substantially constructed throughout, and reflected great credit on the en gineer of the line and the contractor, who had had a severe season to deal with while completing them. The directors anticipated a large increase of traffic to the old main lines of the company from the rich and populous district through which the extension line passes, and the local traffic will no doubt be oonsiderable. The Chairman then called atten tion to the last paragraph of the report which referred to the invasive schemes that had been attempted on their lines, and he congratulated the meeting that none of them had received the sanction of Parliament. Whatever differ ences there might have been with respect to the past he thought their future prospects were as favotirable as they as reasonable men could expect. (Hear, hear.) If any share holder wished any question answered which was touched upon in the report he should have very great pleasure in answering them. He concluded with the usual motion that the report be adopted. Mr. LACY seconded the motion. Mr. EDWARDS complained of the loss sustained by the company with the steam-packet company, and expressed a hope that the directors would most seriously consider the matter. The resolution was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved that the dividend for the half year be at the rate pf 4 per cent. per annum, and that the same be payable on the 25th of August. Count EYRE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The CHAlRmAN'then moved a resolution to the effect that the directors be empowered to create and dispose of such share capital as shall have been authorised by ParHamel.* and as shall remain>mdisposed of. Mr. HUTCIIINS seconded the motion. Mr. MALINs hoped that the rival] y on this and the Great Western Railway on the Exeter line would not lead to a cutting down of fares. Mr. TaTE, M.P., entirely agreed with the opinions of the last speaker, and expressed a hope that he would use his influence in the House of Commons to prevent the adop tion of all sorts of useless schemes, the capital for which must be in the moon. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. MALINC thought it was a most objectionable thing to leave a committee of the House of Commons to decide upon the advisability or unadvisability of certain lines being con structed. The members composing those committees were frequently quite unaccustomed to business, and who lost sight of the vast capital invested, and the rights of the proprietors, and only looked to see how the public could be carried quickest and cheapest. Serjeant GAZALEE concurred in the remarks of the last speaker, and condemned committe es o f th e H ouse o f Com mons as being totally i ncompetent to deal with railway matters. .ers The motion was then carried unanimously. In reply to a Proprietor, Mr. CASTLEMAIN said it was not true, in any particular, that the company had refused to make the doable line from Dorchester to Southampton. The fact was the company had agreed on their receipts amounting to a certain sum, and on a requisition from the Board of Trade being made to them that it was desirable such a line should be made, to carry out the engagement, but the Board of Trade had not yet called upon them to make the line, therefore there had been no refusal on their part to do so. The fact was, the whole affair had been got up entirely for certain party purposes. Mr. Trim moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was enthusiastically agreed to, and the proceedings termi nated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAI. MARL BOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR SENTENCE. —THE WATCH ROBBERY AT " SCOTT'S."—James Clarke, the young man who was charged at this court on Saturday last before Mr. Mansfield with stealing a gold watch of the value of £l4 from a gen tleman (the report of which case appeared in this journal) at Scott's, a well-known night-house, near the Haymarket, was again brcught up before Mr. Tyrwhitt. On the last occasion Sergeant Cole, 23 C, stated that the prisoner had been at this court about two years ago, and committed for three months. Upon this Mr. Mansfield said he should remand the prisoner for a few days, expressing his determination to commit the prisoner for trial, and refusing the prosecutor's application to deal summarily with the case, as he con sidered it one on behalf of the public that might go before a jury. It has since been ascertained that the prisoner has been twice, if not three times, before at this court and Clerken well, and also that he is 'cell known at the other side of the water. Mr. Tyrwhitt disp ose d of the al case by committing the prisoner for one month with hard labour. THAMES. CRUEL ROBBERY .—Eliza Swainson, a married woman about 30 years of ag e , was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing £5, the monies of a poor widow named Shadbalt, who k eeps a shop in the general line in Plummers-row, Whitechapel. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Martha Sirbut, a married woman, the daughter of the prosecutrix, that on Tuesday last the prisoner, whom she bad known five years, was on a visit to Mrs. Shadbalt. While the prisoner was there, Mrs. Shadbalt went up-stairs and brought down £5 for the purpose of paying her rent. It was i n a b ag an d consisted of four half-sove re i gns, 11 florins, 25 shillings, a five-shilling piece, four half-crowns, and two sixpences Tho money was placed on a table in the room where the prisoner was. Witness had occasion to leave the room, leaving the prisoner there. On her return, three minutes afterwards, the prisoner was still there, but the bag containing the money was gone. No one elso was in the room but the prisoner. Witness exclaimed, Oh my good God, the money is gone I " The prisoner expressed great surprise, and said, " Where do you think you have laid it ? " To which Mrs. Sirbut said, "On the table." The prisoner said, " You had better go upstairs and look for it." Mrs. Sirbut did so, and could not find the money. On the following morning the prisoner came to the house at five o'clock, and said she was unable to sleep all night as she was so much concerned about the loss of the money, and expressed the greatest anxiety about its recovery. Evidence was given that the prisoner had stated on Tuesday evening when the money was lost that she had none of her own whatever, that yesterday the prisoner was spending moneylreely, and that suspicion being directed towards her, her room at No. 23, Greenfield• street, White chapel, was searched by p ol ice - constable, 179 H, and four half sovereigns were found in a tobacco pouch on her mantel shelf, and 11 florins. Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial. VALUE OF LANDED PR OPERTT.—The Berkswell hall Estate, Warwickshire, ten miles from Leamington, in a favourite sporting country, was submitted to public auc tion, at the Mart, City, yesterday, b y M essrs. Chinnock and Galsworthy. The sale attracted a large attendance of gentlemen from the midland counties, with their agents, evidently intent on purchasing this fine estate. The rental, as stated in the particulars, was £2,350, including the cot tages, and £250 fixed as the estimated rental of the mansion. The biddings commenced at £60,000, and after a spirited competition the price reached £Bl,OOO, at which it was sold to ThomatWalker, Esq., of Orgreaves Park, near Lich field, thus realising 341 y ears ' purchase on the total rental, with the addition of timber at a valuation. The Emperor of Russia has granted to the Governor of the Caucasus the power of authorising the local ministers of Christian sects tolerated in Russia to admit Makommedans and idolators, as converts, into their congregations. The heads of these congregations must make a formal declaration that the new converts have not belonged to the orthodox church of Russia. SPORTING - INTELLIGENCE. READING RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

Prime Downs were, in some instances, 2d per Blbs higher in price, and the value of other breeds was well supported, with a steady trade. There was a good sale for lambs, the prices of which were well supported. Calves, though in good supply, changed bands freely, and the quotations had an upward tendency.

I have seen the hay harvest going on from the beginning of April to the end of October. Any travlller who is fortunate enough to see Switzerland in April enjoys a feature of the Alps which later tourists miss. To them there is no motion among those mighty masses except the waterfalls ; whereas he sees expanses of rippling grass dis closing the passage of the winds. In the hot rock-bound valleys the meadows are mown in April ; and the soythe mounts higher and higher, till the last coarse upland hay is carried, just before our English mowing begins. In our northern counties the grass is seldom all carried in August; and sportsmen who spend their autumn in Scotland see more or less hay still courting the sun and wind in the last days of October, which aie there so brilliant. In one year - I have known this to be the process of successive haymakings between Venice and Inverness.—Once a Week. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government emigrant vessel Hannah Moore, 1,130 tons, Capt. Michael Murphy, belonging to Messrs. Wm.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord CLYDE was present in the house this evening. His lordship occupied one of the front seats on the cross benches. THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK. The Archbishop of YORK took the oaths and his seat on his elevation to an Archbishopric. The right rev. prelate was introduced by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London. EUROPEAN FORCES (INDIA) BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a first time, The Earl of ELLE N BOROUGH said he distrusted this bill altogether, and therefore he most strenuously ob jected to it. He had objected to the bill as it applied to officers, and another of his objections was that ho had great doubts as to whether the bill, as it at present stood, did not altogether extinguish the local army while it extin guished the power by which that army was raised. It was usual when such extensive alterations were contem plated to introduce some proviso declaring all such things as had been done before the power was extinguished should hold good. He thought such a precautionary enactment ought to be introduced into the bill. The Duke of ARGYLL did not think that the bill had that effect. Of course, the objection of the noble earl could be met by an amendment. After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR, the bill was read a first time. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that to morrow he should ask a question as to whether any esti mate had been received from Hong Kong relative to the cost of the transport of the troops to China. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT (1858) AMENDMENT ACT. This bill was read a third time and passed, after an amendment to one of the clauses had been agrped. to._ LANDED PROPERTY ACT IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. The committee on this bill was postponed. TRAMWAYS (IRELAND) BILL. On the bringing up the report of amendments on this bill, a conversation ensued upon the various clauses of the bill, but the report was ultimately received. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. Earl GRANVILLE moved that, with regard to the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill, on account of various ques tions relating to the management of episcopal estates, and to the securing regular incomes to the bishops, and an in creasing surplus to the common fund havinglong been under consideration, and the final settlement hitherto delayed, whereby the proceedings for the enfranchisement of many church leaseholds have been already protracted to an extent injurious to those concerned ; and as these matters are treated and • determined in a manner which has secured general approval, the circumstances which render legislation on the subject of the said bill ex pedient are of such real urgency as to render the im mediate consideration of the same necessary. The motion was agreed to. Earl GRANVILLE then moved the second reading of the bill. The Earl of DERBY said as it was thought desirable that this bill should pass this session he should not oppose it, but he thought the 11th clause, which affected the vest ing of certain property permanently in the hands of the commissioners, ought at all events to be postponed. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tnis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 20 minutes past one o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Hamilton and Strathaven Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Mr. LAING, on , moving that the house go into com . mittee, appealed to hon. members who had notions on the paper to postpone them until the evening sitting. There were 200 votes still to be taken, and the only chance of getting through the business in reasonable time was for hon. members in future to adopt the course he suggested should be taken this day. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. ADDERLEY, who had a motion on the paper for the production of a plan and estimate made for the National Gallery by Captain Fowkes—said that the plan and es timate in question were in possession of the First Commis sioner of Works, and he understood it was to be rejected on the ground of official etiquette, while another of an inferior character was about to be adopted. The National Gallery was built under most unfortunate circumstances for the architect, and the consequence was that it wasa fective building, considering the purpose to which it was devoted. In order to afford more accommodation a pro posal was made to the Government of Lord Derby. Captain Fowkes was well known for his architectural talent, and as he understood the objection to his plan proceeded from the Royal Academy, who had no right to interfere at all, as they were merely tenants at will. The hon. member concluded by moving for the production of the plan and estimate of Captain Fowkes, or any other plan for alteration in the National Gallery now under consideration of the First Commissioner of Works, and of any corres - pondence thereon. Mr. CONlNGHAMprotested against the course pursued 'm reference to Captai;. Fowkes,Twhich he attributed to occult influence. The result was that the public interest was endangered, and he suggested that any alterations in the National Gallery should be postponed until next session. Mr. CO WPER said he was glad this question was put, because it gave him an opportunity of making some ex planations in respect to this subject. Capt.Fowkes' plan had been rejected by him (Mr. Cowper), not on the ground of official etiquette, for there was no etiquette that would pre vent the Board of Works employing Capt. Fawkes ; in deed, from what he Lad already performed there could be no doubt of his architectural ability. He had not adopted the plan of Capt. Fowkes for any other reason than that he considered it a bad one. (Hear.) He thought, with re gard to the National Gallery pictures, that they could not long remain in their present position, and there should be a gallery erected purposely for them in Trafalgar-square, Burlington House, or elsewhere. He considered that what they should now do was to provide for the accommodation of these pictures for some time, and it was proposed to use the central hall for that purpose. His noble friend at the head of the Government had made a suggestion to that effect last year, and accordingly Mr. Pennethorne prepared and sent in the plan. Nothing further, however, had been done, and Capt. Fowkes submitted his plan to the Board of Works. At first he approved of that plan, and referred it to the members of the Royal Academy, which was coin _ _ posed not only of eminent painters, but also of architects practically acquainted with the subject. Their remarks in reference to it were not made in a spirit of dictation, but to afford all the assistance in their power to enable the Govern- ment to come to a correct conclusion on the matter. The plan would certainly introduce some architectural improve ments in the building, but he objected to it because it did not go far enough, or it went too far. The right hon. gen tleman, having referred in detail to the plan in support of his opinion said that the estimated cost would be £30,000, but he believed it would really be about £50,000. He could not comply with all the hon. member required, but ho promised that he would produce the correspondence alluded to, if the hon. member would allow the amendment to be negatived. After a few words from Lord J. MANNERS, Lord PALMERSTON said he thought it would be readily admitted that the whole space of the National Gal lery should be given up for the pictures it contained. How ever, any alterations for that purpose must be merely of a temporary use, as the bequests which might be looked for ward to would increase the number of pictures to an extent that would render the National Gallery unsuited to their exhibition. The question came simply to this, that by an outlay of £13,000 or £14,000 they would make the gallery suitable for the pictures for some years. (Hear.) After some further discussion the amendment was with drawn, and the subject dropped. AUDIT OF THE CIVIL SERVICE. Sir F. BARING moved the following:—" That the ap propriation and audit of the moneys voted for the Civil Ser. vice Estimates are insufficient and unsatisfactory, and re.. quire early amendment." The right hon. baronet said he did not bring this motion for the purpose of complaining of the Government, but in order to induce the house to record their opinion on the subject. The house was aware that the report of the select commit tee on public moneys had agreed that the present system of auditing the accounts was defective, and made certain re commendations in order to remedy that state of things. The audit of the army and navy estimates was satisfactory, but when they came to the civil service estimates they found the case quite different. In that department they had a board which was independent of the Government, holding office like judges for life, and invested with very large powers. In the miscellaneous estimates over £2,000,000 was expended without being audited by the commissioners. The right hon, baronet proceeded at some length to point out the existing defects in regard to the audit of the civil service estimates, and again urged on the house the propriety of placing his motion on their records. Mr. LAING said that in reality the difference between the right hon. baronet and the Government was a very small one. After the report of the select committtee on public moneys, there could be no doubt that the audit de partment required improvement. (Hear, hear.) On the principle therefore they were agreed, but there were prac tical difficulties which had to be surmounted before im provement could be effected. The accounts of the army and navy services were reckoned up at the end of each financial year, while several of those of the civil service were remaining over for a considerable number of years. Mr. WILLIAMS supported the amendment, and con tended that under the present system there was no security of the public money being honestly expended. After some discussion, Sir G. LEWIS said he did not see how the Government could oppose the amendment, nor was he aware of any in superable difficulty in making the improvements necessary at the audit office. Ultimately the amendment was agreed to without a division. CHARITABLE COMMISSIONERS, &c. (IRELAND). Mr. HASSARD called the attention of the house to the constitution of the Board of Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests in Ireland ; and he asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he could and would take measures to insure the attendance of a quorum of such Commissioners at reasonably frequent periods, so that busi ness could be transacted ? Mr. CARDWELL said that he would adopt the neces • sary steps in regard to this matter. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply. On the vote of £100,440 for the maintenance and keeping in repair the Royal parks, Sir J. SHELLEY asked for some information relative to the Serpentine, and to the sum of £l,BOO for draining Richmond F ark. He also looked with some distrust on a vote of £750 for a railing in the ride inKensingtonGardens, and in order to obtain some explanation on these matters he would move that the vote be reduced by that amount. Mr. WILLIAMS drew attention to the sum in the votes of £B,OOO for Regent's Park, which he considered a very large sum for the purpose to which it was to be applied. Mr. A, SMITH complained that iron hurdles had, been erected in different parts of the parks, and that portions of *he parks were encroached on for enclosures. He contended also that the parka were not in the condition they should be, considering the money that had been voted for them. Mr. HUGUESSON called the hon. gentleman to order. He said that by a recent resolution of the house they must confine themselves to the discussion of the specific item before proceeding to the consideration of another. Lord J. MANNERS said that unless the new ride were made a continuation of Rotten-row it would be quite use less for public convenience. The noble lord drew atten tion to different defects in connection with the parks. Mr. MALINS said that the ride was not of any great value, and so unpopular, that he believed if they polled all the parishes west of the Haymarket they would find the majority against it. (Cries of "No, no. ') As far as his experience went that was the case, and four out of five of those with whom he conversed on the subject were strongly opposed to the ride. Mr. COWPER said, with respect to the £750 for iron railings, that amount was to be appropriated to three dif ferent services. One of these was for the removal of a por tion of the brick wall in the gardens. That was the por tion of the wall which ran next from the alcove to the place where the railing began. Another part of the money was for a gate, and the remaining £250 was to provide hurdles for the.- ride. (Hear, hear, and oh, oh.) He believed that not only the upper classes, but most of the respectable tradesmen and workmen, were in favour of the ride. Now, the real ques tion was whether the public should be admitted as readily as before. He contended that there was no reason why they should not be thrown open to persons who were de sirous of taking exercise on horseback as well as to pedes trians, provided no inconvenience was caused thereby to the latter. It was stated by some persons that they desired quiet and retirement, which were interfered with by the ride ; but the gardens were spacious enough to enable them to enjoy retirement in other parts of them. He thought that publicity, not privacy, was to be considered the most useful in respect to these gardens. From the hours when the working classes were employed during the week days, they could not visit the gardens at the time the ride in Kensington-gardens was used by equestrians, and on Sundays when they could attend at such hours of the day persons on horseback were excluded from the gardens. This matter had assumed a factious importance from havinc , been taken up by five vestries in the neighbourhood of Kensington, who seemed to consider that the parks were under their special jurisdiction. To show that such a feeling was entertained, the right hon. gentleman said that in the pariah of Marylebone resolutions had been passed at different times in reference to the parks. On one of these occasions it had been recommended that Lord Llanover should be prosecuted, and on another it was stated that the place of his successor would be rendered too hot to hold him. (Laughter.) Re hoped, however, that the house would decide on the merits of the question, and not be led away by what had occurred at these vestries. Sir J. SHELLEY altered his amendment by substitut ing the sum of £250 for £750, as the amount by which the vote was to be reduced. Mr. A. MILLS opposed the amendment and expressed his opinion that the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Cowper) would not give way to the agitation that had been raised on this"subject. Mr. H. SEYMOUR followed on the same side, and as serted that the agitation was purely of a local and vestry character. General PEEL also opposed the amendment. After a few words from Mr. J. LOCKE and Mr. SPOONER, the house divided.. • For the amendment 4B Against it 7l Majority Lord J. MANNERS enquired if the works would be completed for the annual estimate. Mr. COWPER said they would be finished for even a less amount. Colonel DUNN drew attention to the extent to which the country was taxed for metropolitan improvements, and said that Ireland bad to pay £9,000,000. (Cries of " order," in the midst of which the hon. and gallant member resumed his seat.) The house suspended sitting at 10 minutes to 4 o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock.

The Queen left Holyrood at a quarter before nine o'clock this morning, and drove through the park to St. Margaret' station, where the royal train was in readiness to convey her. Majesty northwards to Aboyne. The departure of the illustrious travellers from the palace was announced by a salute of 21 guns from the Castle heights. The morning was wet aid misty, and only a few persons witnessed the progress of her Majesty through the park. An escort of the 13th Light Dragoons attended the royal party from the palace to the railway sta tion. The guard of honour at St. Margaret's was formed by a company of the 78th Highlanders. The directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway were in attendance to receive her Majesty and immediately upon the royal arrival the train was set in motion, and proceeded rapidly north wards. At the Larbert junction the train was taken in charge by the directors of the Scottish Central Railway, who conducted her Majesty thencefor ward to the city of Perth, where her Majesty ar rived at eleven o'clock. Mr. Miller, deputy-ckair man, and other directors of the Scottish North Eastern Railway. here assumed the direction of the train, which proceeded, with one intervening stop page at the Bridge of Dun, to the city of Aberdeen, where the royal party arrived shortly before two o'clock. The Deeside Railway was next traversed as far as Aboyne. The last 20 miles from Banchory, which have been only recently completed, and were to-day first travelled over by her Majesty, are very beautiful, the scenery through which the line passes being very romantic and wild. The Queen arrived' at Aboyne at three o'clock, a few minutes in advance of the appointed time. The station was tastefully fitted up, and a great crowd of her Majesty's Scottish subjects had assem bled to witness the royal arrival. After partaking of luncheon the Queen left for Balmoral in an open carriage and four, the Prince Consort and the two elder princesses accompanying her Majesty. The remaining members of the royal family and suite in attendance followed in other carriages, and her Majesty reached her Highland home at half-past five o'clock. Mr. Seymour Clarke again. to-day received the acknowledgments of the Queen for the admirable manner in which the whole railway journey had been performed. (From the Court Circular.) HOLYROOD, Ara. 7• Her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louise, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold, arrived at Edinburg'a at 10 minutes past eight this morning, and immediately proceeded to Holyrood Palace, escorted by a party of the 13th Light Dragoons. The ladies and gentlemen. in attendance were the Coun tess of Desert, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Sir Charles Phipps, K.C.8., Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey, Lieutenant Colonel the Hon. D. de Roe, Major Elphinstone, and D r. Baly. The Right Hon. Sidney Herbert WAS in attendance on the Queen as Secretary of State. In the course of the morning the Queen. acemP anied b y the Prince Consort and Princess Helena, drove to Cramond, to pay a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. The Lady in Waiting and two Equerries were in attendance. Her Majesty returned to H:olyrood for luncheon. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at Holyrood at about three o'clock, to accompany the Queen to the review of the Voluntears. At half-past three the Quenn, royal family and suite left Holyrood in three carriages t o review the Volunteers. The first carriage conta3.ned her Majesty, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Royal Highness Prin cess Alice, and his Roy al Highness Prince Arthur. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, in the uniform of a field marshal, rode on the right of the Queen's car riage, and the Duke of Buccl euch rode on the left. The second carriage canto teed their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Helena and I aouise, Prince Leopold, and the Lady in Waiting. The Equerries rode on each side. The third carriage contained Lady Augusta Bruce, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbe rt, and Lord James M urray .
