IttouGn some of us may grudge the time occupied by the Easter recess in a session like this, when the business of legislation is so grievously in arrears, the interval may be turned to good account. It will be turned to good account if M.P.'s on both sides of the House will seriously consider their position and the end they have in view. That position is very serious, that end is very obscure, except as regards one political section. When Parliament assembled in February the Liberal phalanx was strong and unbroken, and the Conservative opposition was remarkably pacific. So soon as the intentions of the Government with regard to the two great questions of land tenure and education were made known, and it was discovered that the Ministry would respect the rights of property and the rights of conscience the Conservative leaders let it be understood that they would offer no serious opposition to either the Irish Land Bill or the English Education Bill. This mo deration on the part of the Opposition at once aroused the suspicion of the Radicals below the gangway. Those of them who, while vaunting their inde pendence, are the most bitter of partisans, could not, in the narrowness of their,minds, conceive it possible that measures which satisfied the Conservatives could be otherwise than bad measures, and they soon be gan to denounce their leader for proposing legisla tion with a view to pleasing his opponents rather than his followers. These critics received assistance from a gentleman who has not been wont hitherto to act in accordance with the Radicals, who, in fact, is one of the old Whigs, and cannot forget that as such he once held office under a Whig Premier, but holds office no longer. He objected to the Land Bill because it was too sweeping, and thus there were two sets of opponents on the Ministerial side of the House, but though opposing for different reasons, finding, as is usually the case under such circumstances, an excuse for concerted action. Thus, it became apparent that the Libe ral party was no longer homogeneous. Last session it acted like one man, and the Opposition, helpless and powerless, could only complain of the brutal insolence of a tyrannical majority. The cause of this unity was plain. M.P.'s were fresh from the hustings, and there they had been told by their constituents that they must disestablish the Irish Church or they would not be elected. They swallowed all scruples, they sank their individuality, and gave Mr. Gladstone such a working majority as scarcely any other Minis ter in our time has enjoyed. This year the remembrance of the hustings has waxed dim. More over, the Land 13111 was never before the country as the Church Bill was, and as for the Elucation there is no doubt that a large number of Liberal electors, misled by the Birmingham League, do int approve of it. So Liberals no longer feel themselves bound to follow their leader, and they have, throughout the present Session, been reasserting their individuality in the fashion which has been abundantly frequent of late years, and which has always been the first sign of a general disintegra tion, of a ministerial downfall, and of the accession of the Conservative party to office for a few months. There it has been allowed to exist on the condition of doing the work of the extreme Radicals until such time as these have recovered their tamper and re stored their leader to power. In the presence of this spectacle it was, perhaps, not to be expected that the Conservative party would maintain that judicious moderation which they exhibited at the commencement of the session. It is now known, as it was not then known, that there is a division in the Liberal ranks. Even if the 'enders had been willing to continue the truce, the followers were not. Young hot-headed Tories, like the sons of the Duke of Abercorn, who have lived less than thirty -years, and who were boys when the last Liberal Administra tion broke up, think that the greatest calamity which can happen to the country, is for a Liberal Government to be in office. They cannot see, bcause they cannot remember, that it is a far more serious, a far, more really revolutionary thing for a Conservative minority to be holding - office at the bidding of the extreme Radicals. These.rash youths, therefore, are endeavouring to throw out the Land Bill. Mr. Disraeli, as usual, cannot resist the opportunity of manoeuvring, and so he, too, has suddenly discovered that the bill is an attack upon the rights of property, and, while secretly scorning, openly foments the fears which that cry is sure to excite. Such was the position or watts at the close of the pre-Easter Session. It bears in some respects an ominous likeness to the position which parties occu pied this time four years and it is quite within the range of possibility that before July we may witness once more the remarkable spectacle of a Parliftmen tal,v trifkritv sitting on the left benches, while minority occupies the right. Already minis terial journals are beginning to warn the Radicals that they must keep in the ranks, and to talk of the Ministry standing and falling by their bill. But there is one great difference between 1866 and 1870. In the former year it was the Conservative section of the Liberal party who revolted against Mr. Gladstone because he was too great a Radical. In the latter year it is the Radical section which is rebelling because Mr. Gladstone is too great a Conservative. Even in the first crisis it was the advanced Radicals who won in the long run, and forced a Conservative Ministry to grant household suffrage. It will be well, therefore, for the Conservatives to reflect what is likely to be the result of a Ministerial crisis if it is brought about by a union between them and the advanced Radicals. In spite of the Adul lamites, Mr. Disraeli, as Premier, was compelled to do the bidding of the Radicals. What chance, then, would there be for Conservative legislation if he found himself placed in office by the Radical Tote ? We do not expect Mr. Disraeli to consider this, for he is not and never was a Conservative at heart; but it might be well for his followers to consider this. It might be well for them to ask themselves if they are prepared to purchase one or two years of office at the cost of Fixity of Tenure and Secular Education. That this is the price which the/ will have to give there ca 4 ue ehadow , THE SUN, LONDON MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1870. doubt. That Mr. Disraeli is prepared to - pay it, and to " educate " his followers into the belief that it is a capital bargain, we as little doubt. That the Conservatives will consent to be so edu cated we do very much doubt. It is at this critical juncture that the Easter recess - has arrived. It offers a time for reflection free from the heats of debate which often obscure the soundest judgment. It. remains to be seen how the interval will be used. The policy of the Radicals is unmis takeable. They are employing the holiday in foment ing, as they so well know how to do, the opposition to the Government. England does not care much for the Land Bill, and so it is the Education Bill which the Radicals use for their object on this side of the water. The course of the moderate Liberals is nearly equally certain. They are showing their usual indolence and short-sightedness. They hug themselves in the belief that Mr. Gladstone still possesses a majority of 112, forgetting that in the crucial division of Friday we3k it was reduced to 32, and heedless of the fact that many more such victories would be worse than a defeat. The Conservatives, so far as they are mere party politicians thinking more of office than of their country, watch the coming storm—the daily increasing disin tegration of the most powerful Ministry of modern times—with eager expectation, longing for the time when they will once more be installed on the Minis terial benches, and prepared to carry any measures that a Liberal House of Commons may require of a Conservative Ministry on sufferance. Of these three parties the first is the only one which rightly appreciates the position and which has a clear idea of what it wants, and of the means of attaining it. There is no need for the Radicals to alter their tactics. It we wished them success we could not do otherwise than exhort them to persevere with their present agitation = To the second we would' put one question—Do you not think it is time that you made some sort of demon stration in behalf of your leaders and their policy ; in behalf, that is, of a moderate land bill, and of an education bill which does not outrage the first principles of liberty by forbidding the teaching of religion ? To the Conservatives, so far as they are not mere party politicians, we would say, Aro you prepared to work this time not only and unconsciously for, but knowingly with, the ex treme Radicals? Are you prepared to assert with Mr. Mill the right of the minority to prohibit reli gious teaching ? Are you prepared to revolutionise property by granting fixity of tenure? Are you pre pared, in fact, to take another—two other—leaps in the dark and (so that you may rest for a little while on the Treasury benches), alighting eventually you know not and care not where ? We will not believe it. We rather ask the Conservatives to study well during this Easter recess—not the organs of the Liberal party—not even independent opinions like our own, but their own organ, which has done them good service in times past, and which they might have read to greater advan tage four years ago. In the Quarterly Review, just issued, there is an article entitled " Government dealing with Irish Crime." It is a thoroughly Conservative article ; it severely re bukes Ministers for not having introduced their Peace Preservation Bill at the beginning of the Ses sion, and it considers that Mr. Gladstone is personally responsible for the delay, which Mr. Chichester Fortescue urged him to terminate. Nevertheless, the Quarterly Review highly commends not only that bill, but. the Land Bill as well. Alterations and im provements in the latter measure are undoubt edly suggested, but this is the verdict passed by the ablest of the Conservative organs upon this measure." In the main, Ministers have followed the path which we traced out in January as the only one which they could safely or equitably tread; and they have avoided most of the errors which we then stigmatised, and into which the noisier and more imperious of their clients and supporters sought to hurry them. Are the Conservatives prepared to endorse this verdict practically, or do they mean to sanction that most monstrous of political combina tions which we are just now witnessing in county Lon ford, a " Tory Nationalist ?" The Earl and Countess Russell and family ar expected home the week after next froni spending the winter in Italy. The Marquis of Bath is lying seriously ill at his residence in Berkeley-square. His Grace the Duke of Manchester says that neither of his sons are in Greece, so that the reported cap ture of one of them by the brigands is untrue. It is Lord Muncaster, and not the Duk3 of Manchester, who has been captured by the brigands in Greece. Miss L'Estrange, a sister of LaJy Muncaster, is also in the hands of the bri gands. • _ _ Sir George Bootb, Bart., is recovering from his savere illness. The harvest prospects in Ireland are reported to be of the most favourable character. It is not probable that Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Airey will succeed Sir James Yorke Scarlett in the command of the Aldershot division. Thirty-two War Office clerks have applied for the retirement offered by the Secretary of State. This is the last day for volunteers for retirement. It is stated., that a writ for £l,OOO damages has been served upon a Tipperary priest for violence at the late election. The Bishop of Moray and Ross has refused the Bishopric of Edinburgh which was offered to him, pre ferring to remain in his present diocese. The Prince and Princess of Wales, with their three esdest children, are staying with the Queen at Osborne. Five individuals were executed on Wednesday at Borcelona, who had been condemned for robberies and murders committed in March last. Although at least 120,000 visitors were at Green wich on Good Friday, there were only three cases in which persons were charged with drunkenness before the raagi s _ trate this morning. M. Guizot is unwell, and has kept his room for some days. No immediate danger is apprehended, but considering the venerable statesman's age, his friends are naturally anxious about him. The foreign animals brought by sea to ports in Great Britain in March which have been found to be af fected with any conta,, , rioue disease numbered 88, all of which were slaugLtered by order of Customs. The Sporting Gazette hears that Sir Edwin Land seer's large picture of Voltigeiw, upon which he has been so long engaged, will form one of the principal attractions at the forthcominz Exhibition of the Royal Academy. Festival celebrations at the two Inns of the Temple are in contemplation. A ball or some similar entertainment is projected in connection with the opening of the new ball of the Inner Temple, whilst the Middle Temple will for onco make a popular 1130 of its magnificent hall. CAPTURE OF A LARGE SALMON AT CORBY.—On Tuesday evening last, whilst a lady was walking on the Wetheral side of the Corby boat pool, she noticed a large salmon playing in tho river. Miss Hall, daughter of M. Howard's fishernian, was rowing in the river at the time, and on being told by the lady what she had seen she in formed her father; but sport had only boen bad during the day, and he reluctant about throwing another line. How ever, he was prevailed upon to try again, and in about six minutes he hooked and landed a salmon weighing twenty two pouuds. The fish was gaffed by a gentleman who came up at the time. The Sheffield Independent says that Mr. Mundella's explanation of the reasons which prompted him not to give evidence to the Parliamentary committee with re spect to the Sheffield Corporation Gas Bill, has given " extreme satisfaction " to his friends. The New York Supreme Court has set aside .Tudge Barnard's injunction staying the proceedings of Mr. Ramsey, of the Suarluebanna line against Messrs. Gould and Fisk. Mr. Ramsey will, therefore, carry on his suit against Mr. Gould simultaneously with that of Mr. Burt. Festival celebrations at the two Inns of the Temple are in contemplation. The Law Times .believes that a ball or some similar entertainment is projected in con nection with the opening of the new Hall of the Inner Temple, whilst the Middle Temple will for once make popular use of its magnificent hall. It is the intention of boating men in this country (says the New York, Turf, Field and Farm) to select a Prew, consisting of Bernard Biglen, Joseph Ward, John Biglen, and Walter Brown, to row the winning crew of the coming four-oared race between England and Cads,. --- 4 r;-'=" • Vf -„%t::... ..•.,- - ly- r ....,_ 77, - cll. if Di }IT ~ - .-1:3-_'7% K-it 0 IIER MAJESTY.

The speech which Mr. Candlish made to his constituents at Sunderland, on Wednesday, was in great measure devoted to the Education Bill. Referring to the religious clauses in the bill he observed that he for one could not accept in principle, nor could he see his way to give effect in practice, to these clauses as they now stood. One clause, as they were aware, provided for denominational or sectarian education. Of course, a national system to be worthy of acceptance at all must have within itself the element of essential justice, and to apply that to the denominational principle they would be bound to provide that every religion should have a school of its own. If they cast their eyes over the different sections into which the Christian communities of their own town were divided, they would find at once how exceedingly difficult it would be to find children enough to fill even a single school of a particular denomination. But let them take a smaller town. Go to Houghton-le-Spring, a place of 5,000 or 6,000 inhabitants, and there they would find some six or eight different religious denominations. Well, then, to act under the denomina tional system, and make it just, it was perfectly clear that they must have a school for every religious sect in that place. This, he considered, was a practical impossibility. For his own part he quite accepted the secular system. He believed it could be maintained in logic, and that it could be maintained on the ground of justice; but logic did not govern the affairs of this world, nor yet did it govern the Legislature of this kingdom. The purely secu lar education would not be acceptable to more than a minority of the people of the country, although that mino rity might be a large one, and hence a secular system of education could not and would not be a national system. In considering how much further than the threee R's they ought to go, it should be added that the whole com munity of the Dissenters, who so strongly , desired non sectarian education, did not object . to the authoris e d version of the Bible ; the Episcopalians did not object to it ; neither did the Nonconformist bodies. The con clusion, therefore, to which he had inevitably been driven was that the undcnominational, unsectarian teaching of the Bible by the schoolmasters was the system open to the least objection, and that this with a conscience clause might solve the religious difficulty, and form the basis of a national system, , . A Papal Bull has been received at Toronto, con stituting- the Toronto diocese an Archiepiscopal See, and promoting BiFhop Lynch to be Archbishop. A TELEGRAPHIC UOMMERCIAL NEWSPAPER.— The Lombard Telegraphic News Company (Limited) an nounce that they have completed arrangements for the early publication of a journal of commer cial intelligence, entitled The Lombard Telegraphic News. The Directors state that as a purely commercial paper, local and general politics will be avoided, and that it will interfere with no existing paper, but work out a speciality of its own. While giving attention to foreign reports, commercial and home news will form the bulk of the intelligence. STARTLING DISCOVERY AT CAMBRIDGE.—TIIO Provost of King's College, Cambridge, is about having his lodge extended, and the workmen employed for this purpose discovered a skeleton while excavating the soil the other day. The bones were carefully put together, and an eminent surgeon sent for, who pronounced the skeleton to be that. of a human body, an adult, but owing to the thigh bones and lower extremities being broken and decayed, it was uncertain whether the skeleton was that of a man or a woman. The teeth were in a good state of preservation, although the body is sup. posed to have been buried some 200 years. The skeleton was discovered about 7ft. deep. The college gardener, under the directions of the Provost, buried the skeleton again on Thursday evening, at nine o'clock.

The suggestion of our unwic'dly Anglo-Lbines.3 Falstaff being no!hing less utterly ridiculous than the notion of Mr. Lowe enacting for once (if only he had thought better of it !) the Menken like part of Lady Godiva. Not that the oetical allusion is by any means new; being, a; it is, about as threadbare a simile as that terrible New Zealander that Lord Macaulay must so often have repented ever having imagined on a broken arch of London Bridge sketching the ruins of St. Paul's. Only that the' Poet Laureate's meta phorical indiscretion is entirely new as applied thus ludicrously to the blonde graces of our shy and reti cent Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was the fortune of Mr. Lowe on Monday even ing so far to resemble the fat knight whose name was only just now mentioned incidentally, that, besides being with himself, if -not the cause of wit in others= '1 he was provocative of this outrageously nonsensica re-application of a worn out similitude. Having no ambition to earn the gratitude of the people, accord ing co Mr. White, like Lady Godiva, who "Took the tax away Lwhich tax? I And built herself an everlasting fame." Mr. Lowe, we are told, has frittered away a mag nificent surplus of very nearly £5,000,000, without any very consolatory remission of anything in the shape of indirect taxation. For all that, I have, for one, the remembrance of having listened with a sort of p'ea sure to that Budget speech of Mond ty evening, during the delivery of which the lips of the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, if not dropping pearls and pre cious stones like the Arabian Princes, seemed ulti mately to mumble a lump of delight or an acidulated drop like Pussy's in the new green number. The remissions were, several of them at hny rate, delicious. The biggest lump of them all, sticky and saccharine in the mere naming of it, , being, of course, that one whole half (if the Irishistn be allowable) of the sugar duty amounting, in one luscious blob, to £2,350,000. Another lovely morceau, " melting away," as Keats wrote of the over-ripe nectarine, " like a large beatified strawberry," was the odd penny on the Income Tax representing a trifle over another cool million. These two rather ample tit-bits, being powdtired or candied all about, as by• a plentiful sprinkling of comfits, with remitted imposts like those hitherto inseparable from foot hawking, soap making, card selling and so forth, to the tune one way or another of a supplementary or miscellaneous quarter of a million. Then, as to those witticisms, tart phras2s, shrewd sarcasms, or what not, compared a while since to intermingling of acidulated drops, they were certainly abundant enough to enliven the tedium otherwise inseparable from a financial statement, insomuch that time and again the house fairly roared with irre pressible bursts of laughter. Even chance interrup tions drew forth the ready gibe or apropos taste of persiflage, as when, asked by a member below the gangway to turn in that direction, the reply was, " I'm afraid I can't play the part sustained by the character in The Pilgrim's Progress,' called 'Mr. Facing-both-ways.' " So, too, with all the fun poked at the brewers, dexterously and delicately in between the small ribs. Even the members for Derby and E. - :st Stafford could find no sting in the jesting dialogue between the Parliarrient.tty committee and the confiding publ . can (and sinner)—Query : " Bow do you retail it?" (meaning the beer). Answer : " Why, Sir (with a solemn look), we dash it." Q. : " What do you mean by dashieg is ?" " A.: " We turns the New River irto it." And se, too, in regard to the Ch incellor of the Exchequer's comparison of s)ap to the Ulster custom, there being no legal definition of it—together t ith other quips and crankS and verbal facetim that tickled almost every one but the smileless member . for North Warwickshire, and two bewildered Orientals in white turbans, seated in the Speaker's gallery, into peals of merriment. According to Mr. Lowe's way of putting it, one of the drollest practical jokes out is the annual re-dis tribution of misery by that great official taxing machine, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. And, judging from the bearing of the House on Monday, John Bull, as seen through his popular representa tion, has, under Mr. Lowe's dexterous manipulation, certainly learnt to grin and bear it. While, here, in England, the Ministry has con trived to slide smoothly into the Easter holida3s, after. getting through the brunt of the Budget, though making but small headway, it is true, in the matter of their Land Bill Legislation, and none at all (to speak of) in that relating to National Edu cation, at Vienna, Count Beust's Cabinet has been replace], as at the stroke of a harlequin's wand, by a bran new one, headed by Count Potocki ; the con stitutional administration, constructed by M. Emile 011ivier at Paris, being simultaneously loosened all but to pieces, from within, down to its very founda tions. Threatened with anything but an easy time of it in the legislative chamber, the virtual Premier of Napoleon 111, has . been cushioned rather com fortably in the midst of his ministerial difficulties as one of the forty Dii Majores of the French Academy. With a thin political brochure in h's hand, as his sole contribution to literature, the Minister of Justice has passed, side by side with a veteran feuilletoniss like Jules Janin, in amongst the immortal rank of the Academicians, they being the two chosen succes;ors there to the recently vacated seats of Sainte Beuve and Alphonse de Larnartine. Only that there is still left the Count Charles de Montalembert's claim for occupancy by that most chiming writer, Theaphile Gualtier, one would almost feel indignant at the radiant claims of the latter to considsration having been overlooked purely on the score of the au, eor of a primrose-coloured pamphlet, dated and in tattled " Janvier 19," having, a few months after its publication, won his way to the front as the organiser of a Government. Those who are angered the most with M. Olivier, however, because of his having conceded to the Emperor the exercise of his undoubted prerogative, namely, that of appealing directly to the adult male population of France for the sanction of recent changes through the medium of a plebiscitum, are counting, all along, it seems to me, without their host, are arguing, in other words, as though Fiance will fail in its acceptance of.lmperial Constitutional ism. According to the babble of the uubelieving Smellfungi of Paris, whether of the Bourse or of the Boulevards, his Majesty, the other day had fainted, was in extrends, had certainly one, foot in the grave that had suddenly yawned open at his feet—the Emperor, very marvellously, all but miraculously, the very next day, being for hours in the saddle, himself in the best possible health, reviewing some of his picked troops at broad noonday in - that toler ably conspicuous arena, the Place du Carrousel. By just such another rather agreeable aati-cquiax we shall hat e the sufficiently lu,gubt ions anticipations as to the disas'lOU3 result of the ilebiscituai fa'sitiecl by the more-than- ever loudly trumpeted triumph through that very medium of the in no way jeopardised cause of. a Government, still nominally and tstensibly imperial, but, fr m this time forth, permanently and securely constitutional. Granted that (and the re sult will not Lave long now to be waited for) M. Emile 011ivier will then have his justification in a course, for pursuing which he has, during the last few days, had to endure so many bitter objurga tions. That a Constitutionalist like DI. Adolphe Thiers has not altogether lost faith in him, was indica`ed rather whimsically on the edge-line between, if not exactly the sublime and the ridiculous, at any rate between the pathetic and the laughter-moving, when, on the announcement of the Mi ister's election to the academy, M. Thiers and I‘l. Olii% ier—prepostcroth-ly like the short-and-Etout 11114 tall-and-thin of the late• Alphabet 13ayley's ludicrous version of the " Tale of a Tub"--fel into each other's aril - Iz, as up ;n another memorable c ccasion Mr. Via- Cent Ciunindes locked in his ernbrz-xe " Lis noble boy," Mr. Johnson, of the provincial Theatre Royal, or, in o7her words, Nicholas Niekleby. Hardly anything like the .interest excited by the la'e trial of Psince Pierre at Tenn-) a matter of course, excited by the trial just now completed at Madrid in regard to Prince Henry's death by the pistol-shot of the Luc de Moatpensier. Extenuating citcumsauces are deemed to have not unr,.asonably led to his acquittal. • Tidings from the seat of war at Paraguay an nounce the death, in the harness of battle, of the ruthless Lopez, whose fate hag been sealed, when driven to bay, not unlike that of the Abyssinian King Theodore. A telegram from Rome brings information of the astounding unanimity with which the (Ecumenical Council have voted the entire text of the Consti tutio de Fide, 515 bishops voting for the measure unreservedly, 83 conditionally, and not a single pre late in opposition. A masterly translation from the Spanish of Calde ron of a drama of early Christian Rome, entitled, '• Chrysanthus and Dania," or " The Two Lovers of Heaven," has just been published, from the pen of the gifted Irish poet, Denis Florence .Macarthy. lb is chiefly renurkab!e for some exquisite dedicatory sonnets to Longfellow, in conimemoratien of the Irish and American poets baying been together i❑ the midst of the classic ruins of the Eternal City.a year ago. Having been there since then myself, I ain tantalised by that record of their companionship. By a coincidence, the crowning charm of LongfeLow's own translation of Dante's Diviva Commedia" was, to our mind, his prefixing to those pages also son nets of exquisite grace and eloquence. Apropos to the discussion of Mr. Forster's scheme of National Education, George Cruikshank, with bis usual knife and fork, the pen and pencil, in wielding each of which he has been so long an adept, carves for us one and all, in the shape of a.second edition of that same, another slice of bread and butter on ditto, ditto—i. e., the cause of general, or, in other words, of National Education. A complete catalogue of the works of this great and humane artist is an nounc( d, I perceive, as immediately forthcoming. Its completeness I doubt, believing it to be simply impossible to be arrived at. Never has any man, not even Albert Darer, carved his name more indelibly, with the delicate point of an etching needle, upon the world's remembrance than has George Cruikshank. I shall look for the catalogue with the liveliest interest, for it will, at' any rate, have the charm and value of. an approximation at least to the completeness at which its compiler and its publishers aim. THE BRIGH lON REVIEW. The volunteers of the metropolis were on the alert soon after daylight, and were early in their march to the London Bridge and Victoria Stations. There were in all 13,061 men who were to go from London Bridge, but nearly two-thirds having gone on pre vious days, the pressure on the trains was by no means great. The first batch was appointed to arrive at the station at 5 a.m., and were packed off 'in the first train at 5.10. They mustere I about 800 strong. Following them came the 40th Middlesex, under the command of Lieut. Swansborough ; the Ist City of London Artillery, Lieut.-Colonel J. R. L. Wal trii,ley ; the 30th Middlesex R,fles, Captain Pontifex ; the 48th Middlesex, Captain H. Woods; the 49th Middlesex, ,Ensigu Reeves, who filled the second train. The next to arrive were the infantry of the Hon. Artillery Company, under Colonel Morrison. Ihe fourth lot were the Ist London Engineers. The fifth and sixth squad were sent off, so that the whole of the Volunteers were slfely .despatched on their route by twenty minutes to seven, there being two hundred carriages occupied in their transit. Vic toria bad its share of bustle. The force which went from that station all got off in good time and in excellent or_ler. BRIGHTON, Monday Morning. The weather early this morning looked anything but inviting for the forthcoming review. Dull lead coloured c!ouds covered the sky, a cutting wind swept through the streets, and seemed as if the Volunteers were again doomed to go through their nnual review in wind and rain. The number of Volunteers that had arrived on Sunday have greatly swelled the numbers, and 3 %Tr/ numerous crowd assembled at the several Brighton termini th at:morning to watch the arrival of the corps d'arinee which had yet to come. The mul- , titude was not enthusiastic, and exhibited little of anything but inqu'sitive curiosity. The first train which came from London reached here at about seven o'clock, and contained large detachments of the 3d Middlesex Rifles, the 2dMiddlesex Artillery, and the Custom House Rifles. They were quickly followed by others, and in a short time the tramp of the citizen soldiery, the blare of trumpets, and the beating of drums became incessant. As soon as the respetive corps reached the platforms they were brigaded and marched off to the appointed rendez vous, so that there was no confusion or apparent want of discipline. The general public and holiday visitors are now rapidly arriving, many going direct to the re view ground, seemingly under the impression that if they do not get there early, all the advantageous points of view over the twelve miles of hill and valley will be secured. At, six o'clock the bugle call resounded through the streets, and soon afterwards most of the ten or twelve thousand Volunteers who had already arrived here were on the alert. Barricades had been con" strutted at the ends of the atreets, debouching oa the Steyne, the Level, and other points of rendevous. The Garrison Artillery was parked in the North Steyne enclosure, and the camp tents erected at all the brigading stations had a very picturesque effect. Hundreds of Volunteers were strolling about the squares or lounging on the Marine Parade. Towards ten o'clock the weather began to show' truaaistakeble signs of improvement,and at 10 o'clock, when the signal gun was fired for the Volunteers to get under arms, the sun was shining brilliantly. M soon as it was possible to obey the signal gun the different corps formed and commenced marching to the review ground. The route lay along - the North Steyene, through the Pavilion grounds, Castle square; up Marine-parade to Bedford.street, thence to the Grand t:tand, where the march past takes place. The streets are crowded with people who cheered enthusiastically as the Volunteers passed • The Grand Stand is filled with a fashionable assemblY7 the race-course is lined with spectators, presenting the appearance of Epsom on Derby Day, and every - t thing bids favourable to make the r ev i e w a g rea success. Mr. C, l ,yrn3 W. Field is at Washington, w h ere he 'has given evidence to the Foreign Rel a ti ons C om mitte 9 in explanation of the recent union of th e F re nch and English Cable Companies which had been mi sun derstood by the Committee. But that is not the main object of Alr Field's visit. Having pushed his cable across the Atlantic to meet the rising sun, ho proposes to lay a cable across the Pacific to overtaketjie setting sun, for he has pn-pared a bill to give a company he represents the right to lay the wire from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands, Japan and China. Apropos of Mr. Field, we regret to observe in our obituary this week the name of his brother Matthew . a well-known engineer.
