The real value or the perfection of the art of Dentistry will be experi enced by all wishing to avail themselves of professional assistance by consulting Mr. ALBERT, 34, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury. whose experience has enhbled him to effect such admirable, convenient contrivances by artificial means, and which arc so perfectly efficient. into the square, accompanied by the princes and general officers, and made a hearty inspiriting speech to the men, which was received with loud cheers. The King said " I see your return with joy from a war brought to a glorious end, When I permitted the newly-formed regiment of the Guard, united in one division, to take part in this war it was my intention to give these young regiments an op portunity of making for themselves a history. They have fulfilled this intention in the highest degree, and have fought with distinguished bravery. The same remark ap plies to the older established troops here assembled, who have added a new and unfading leaf in this war to the gar • land of fume adorning their honourable history. I rej )ice to see so many collected around me who have so distin guished themselves by bravery that I was able to confer upon them my visible thanks as a lasting recognition of the claims the army has to the thanks of [myself and the fatherland. I have determined that all digs and standards that have been borne on the theatre of war shall for the future bear upon the banderol the riband of the newly granted war medal, and those which were carried at Duppel or Alien the corresponding riband of the memorial cross celebrating those engagements. And it is my conviction that these newly decorated il tga and standards will be fol lowed in future by my brave troops with as much devotion, valour, and, with God's help, victory, as I am proud to ac knowledge with my Royal thanks that they have been in the war just brought to a glorious close." The King then gave the word to fall in, and the troops formed for the march into the city, His Ma jesty rode in front followed. by Prince Friktirich Curl, and Generals, and their suites. In the rear came the different regiments who had taken part in the late campaign. Amid the cheers of the people the King entered the capital. As his Majesty passed through the Brandenburg..gate the troops stationed in the Paris square saluted, and the bands struck up the National Hymn, The King proceeded with his staff to the middle of the Linden promenade, where it was pro- posed to pass the returning troops in review. The regiments entered with bands playing, and as each passed through the Brandenburg-gate it was saluted with presented arms and three loud cheers by the regimen'A, of the Old Guard stationed at the Paris square. When all the regiments had passed in the Old Guard returned to barracks. In the meantime the returning troops, headed by the band, had marched down the linter den Linden, where they were greeted on all sides by loud cheers and the waving of handkerchiefs, and almost buried under wreaths and garlands of flowers. At the statue of Frederick the Great the troops formed for the march past, which took place in the same order as the regiments had entered. The carriage con taining the Queen, the Queen Dowager, and the Crown Princess halted close to his Msjesty, while the rest of the Royal Princesses surveyed the spec. tacle from the windows of the Palace. The two regiments of the Grenadier Guards were led past the Royal carriage by the King, while the Crown Prince, riding to the right of General von der 111u1be, headed the infantry brigade of the Guard. Then followed the infantry, the riflemen, and the pioneers. The Artillery, led by Prince Carl, brought up the rear. The march being concluded, the colours were carried into the palace. The number of Dannebrogs borne by the Guards amounted in all to 17. Naval and Military Intelligence. The division at Aldershott under the command of Leut.-Gen. Sir J. L. Pennefather, K.C.8,, marched from the camp on Thursday morning to take up a position on the Hog's-back, with a view to obeek the progress of an enemy advancing upon Alder shott from the southward by way of Godalruing.

Munro, C.B, Brigadier, marched by w ay of y Aldershot-bridge to Ash and Ash-green, and thence proceeded to the Hog's-back, forming on the right of the cavalry. The brigade consisted of the 39th, 75th, and 83d Regiments, under the command of Major Currie, Lieut.-Col. Gordon, and Lieut.-Col. Hankey, re spectively. The whole of the troops were in posi tion at 11 o'clock, when Geo. Pennefather, attended by his Staff, rode over the lino of defence, and than proceeded to the advanced post on Puttenhamacom mon. The signal having been given, a few guns were fired by the Royal Horse Artillery from the eminence on the common. Gen. Hodge then brought his brigade down from the "back," with the excel)* tion of the three troops of the Greys thrown out on the left of the high road. The Cavalry Brigade formed in line on Puttenhamaccannian, advanced by echelon of regiments from the centre, retired by al% ternate squadrons, and re-formed line. Gen. Taylor advanced his Brigade by line of regiments, and after clearing the road of the supposed enemy formed line on the ground which had been occupied by the cavalry. General Bates also descended the Howe ick with the 14th and 62d Regiments, and formed line in rear of General Taylor by alternate lines. A few other mar oeuvres followed to check the enemy, supposed to be coming on in force against this point, and the proceedings were shortly afterwards brought to a close, and:the troops returned to quarters, which the infantry reached about 2 o'clock, some of the regiments having been under arms six hours. The field-day was one of the most remarkable in which the Aldershot Division has been engaged for some time, not only on recount of the scene of action, which was about seven miles from the Camp, but for the selection of the position and the admirable man ner in which all branches of the service were handled by the commanding officers. The half -yearly inspection of the cadets of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and of the Rid ing Troop and detachment of Royal En.;- - tioned there, under the e" -- made on Royal Oak. 0 -.yea sta- _....wand of Col. Lucy, was uesday by rield.Marshal the Duke of ron c rkA P of nAramissioners. The Doke) atteneed by his Staff, and accompanied by the Commissioners, arrived shortly after nine o'clock when a Royal salute was fired by the Royal En gineers, under the command of Capt. Hale, The Duke then proceeded to the lecture-room, where the cadets were already as3embled, and addressed them for about 20 minutes, pointing cut to them the proper course to pursue to become masters of their profession. The Duke and party subsequently breakfasted with Lieut. Gen. Sir Harry Jones and a number of officers of the College at the Governor's house, and at half -I - .lst 10 arrived upon the parade, when the cadets were formed i❑ line, with the de tachment of Dragoons (mount“ - ,)on their right and the detachment of Royal Engineers on their left. The Duke, who was received with the usual ea!u'e, minutely inspected the line, fled the cadets then marched past i❑ open column of grand divisions in slow and quick time. They then performed the manual and platoon exercise under the command of It. I.T. Fox, and the bayonet exercise under the com mand of R. U. 0. Johnstone. Several battalion move. meats followed, under the command of It. U. 0. Guyon and U. 0. Rogers. The several exercises and movements were well performed, and the Duke expressed the highest satisfaction at the appear ance and discipline of the cadets, and, after visiting the riding school and the gymo.sium, proceeded to the Staff College, which he inspected in every de partment, and with the same result. After lunch ing with the officers studying at the Staff College and a number of guests, among whom were Lieut.- _ Gen. Sir J. L. Pennefather, — K C. 13., Lieut.-Gen. Kuollys, &c., the Duke left for London. The Cnrismas vacation in both colleges commenced on the following day. The Secretary of State for War has decided that the huts at Aldershott Camp, appropriated to mare ried soldiers shall in future be occupied by four, instead of five families. The regimental returns at Aldershott, just issued, show the following average number of points and olassification per cell. of men at target practice at that station on the f:Oth of November, 1864 :—Com.. miesariat Staff Corps—figure of merit, battalion, 24.02 ; best company, 2504; best shots, first period, 51 points; second period, second class, 48 points, 2d Dragoons—figure of merit, battalion, 2328; best troop, 2700; best shots, first period, 53 points; second period, second class, 43 points, 14th Hussars —figure of merit,battalion, 2284; best troop, 24 66; best shots, first period, 44 points; second period, second class, 36 points.

The Lords of the Admiralty have arrived at a decision with regard to the squadron of wooden vessels which have been for some time lying idle on the stocks at Chatham dockyard in various stages of progress, but on neither of which has a single hand been employed for some years past, all the available workmen having been withdrawn and attached exclusively to the ironclad ships under construction at that dockyard. The wooden vessels on which all work has been suspended in clude the Bulwark, 81, 3,716 tons, 800 horse power; the Belvidera, 39, 3,027 tons, 600 horse power; the Menai, 22, 1,857 tons, 400 horse power; the Rein deer, 17, 950 tons, 200 horse power ; and the My r naidon, 4, 693 tons, 200 horse power. An order was yesterday received at the mlster-shipwrightte dep , .rtraent directing the Belvidere, the Mensi, end the Reindeer to be taken to pieces, and their :irob , :ts and materials to be used for the general service of the dockyard. The Bolvidera was Mid down several years since as an improved 50 gun frigi:te of the same cldts as the Dryad, building at Portsmouth dockyard, arid .3ome others, bat when rathe r l ess th an one third I completed all work upon her was suspended. It was subsequently proposed to complete her es an iron clad, which would have mcessitated her Lcing " con verted," but as the Admiralty hlvo at length set their faces against any further conversions of vessels, this idea was abandoned, and she will at onca be taken to pieces, her timbers being well seasoned from the length of timo the frigate hss been in fra me . _ _ 'The Menai, o❑ the,adjoining slip, wcs laid down for a 22-gun screw corvette, of greater tonnage than some of the old line-of.battle sailing ships, and was one of the last of the wooden ships at Chatham dockyard from which the shipwrights were with• drawn. The Reindeer, the other vessel ordered to be taken to pieces, has further advanced towards completion than any of the others, and a short time since it wig understood that she was again to be taken in hand, instructions having been received 'rom Whitehall directing her to be surveyed and a report made upon her state and the length of time it would take to bring her forward for launching. Subsrq!lent orders, however, directed that she should be broken up. At present no instructions have been received at the dockyard as to the Bulwark, which is one of the old type of 90. gun two•decke:s of the Z - !alousclass, subsequently completed as an ironclad, The Bulwark is about one-half fiaished, and as she is the only large wooden vessel at Chatham not ordered to be taken to pieces, it would seem pro bable that she may be completed as an ironclad, which would necessitate the removal of one of her decks, besides other important alterations. The engines of 800-horse power (nominal) constructed for the Bulwark are now in the ironclad frigate The screw of her Majesty 'a corvett e Niger, 13 guns, :n basin at Woolwich, and fully rigged and stored For service, was yesterday shifted to alter the incli• nation of her fans, which it is expected will increase her rate of speed. The iron paddlewheel vessel Oberon, at Woolwich, is ordered to be fitted with an experimental verti. cal tubular boiler, the invention of Capt. the Hon. Arthur Cochrane, C. 8., which is in course of con- struction at the Thames iron works at Blaokwall. The Oberon has undergone a complete overhaul ; her iron hull has been thoroughly repaired by the factory department of Woolwich yard, and the in terior has been well coated with Day's patent ma- rine composition, ordered to be employed in the whole of her Majesty's iron ships, Some consider- able delay has been occasioned in completing her refit in consequence of the non-arrival of the new boiler,otherwise the ship would have long ago been ready for sea. The screw steam sloop Mutine, 17 guns, under thorough refit at Woolwich, is ordered to be ready "or service and removed from the hands of the fee- tory and shipwright departments on the 31st. A batch of 40 second.class lads belonging to the flagship Fisgard at Woolwich were yesterday re moved to the training ship Dauntless, Coastguard service in the Humber. The number entered during the past month amounted only to 77, being confider.. ably below that required by the Admiralty order, Amounting to 30 per week.

Ist Surrey Head-quarters. The somewhat novel proceeding of laying the foundation stone of Volunteer headquarters took place on Saturday afternoon at Camberwell, in cou nexion with the Ist Surrey Rifle Vo'.unteer Corps 'leis regiment has very commodious head-quarters at Peckham, Lut as the ground on which these stand will be required by a railway company, l 2 whom compensation will be paid, a large spec,: of ground title been taken within a few hundred yard, of Camber reellsgreen, and a large drill-hall, with every requisite for an t xoensive battalion, kas beer commeresd there. Cul. M•M ludo, the Inepcctei General, had accepted the invitation of the regimen! to perform the ceremony of laying the stoee, end notwithstanding that the weather was most until.- vourable for outdoor display a very large concourse of people had assembled to witness the proceedings. The G Company of the London R;fle Brigade, under Captain Sewell, acted as a guard of honour, and the Ist Surrey was under the command of Major Irvine, in the unavoidable absence of Lieutenant Colonel Macdonald. The Rev. Daniel Moore, the Golden Lecturer, and Chaplain of the Ist Surrey offered prayer, and Major Irvine made a short address to the assemblage, After referring to the fact that the Ist Surrey Regiment was within a few hours of being the first body enrolled in the present volunteer movement, the first being the Ist Lancashire, he went on to trace the progress the regiment had made, and stated, amid the loud cheers of his hearers, that so firmly did the corps believe in the perma nence of the movement, that the site of ground on which they stood had been taken for a term of 99 years. The stone, which bore a suitable inscription, having been adjusted in its place, Col. 111 4 Murdo declared it " well and truly laid." He said, perhaps, the general public were not aware of the use of headquarters, and he might, for their information, state that headquarters bore the same relation to a regiment that a capital bore to a country, being so situated as to be easy of access to all, and being the centre of all authority. He dwelt t.pon the importance of all volunteer regiments hav ing headquarters, and expressed himself RS being convinced of the permanency of the movement, for, he said, those who were volunteers now would find their children growing up with the same feelings which had animated them, and join ing the regiments of which their fathers were the first members. He concluded by expressing his regret at the absence of Colonel Macdonald and wishing the Ist Surrey the success which he said it certainly deserved for the spirited undertaking which had been inaugurated that day. Major Irvine then presented the Inspector-General with the trowel with which the ceremony had been per formed, and called for three cheers for the gallant officer, to whose efforts he attributed the success of the movement. Th ese were given with hearty good will, and Colonel M'Murdo, in responding, said that it was owing to no Government, and it was certainly owing to no efficer in connexion with the Government, that the Volunteer move ment had arisen and gone on so success fully as it had. The movement Las its origin in the loyal aspirations of the people, and the feelings which had originated it had and would maintain it in all its integrity. A vote of thanks was given to the Chaplain, who very briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the Volunteers, headed by the excellent band of the Ist Surrey marched to the Peckham headquarters, where the members of the London Brigade, who had formed the guard of honour, were hospitab)' enter tained by their comrades of Surrey. The Anti- f obacco Society. - - At the Westminster Policc-court yesterday- Mr Thomas Reynolds, secretary of the British Anti-Tobacco Society, 10, Camden-.q Aare, Camden - -town, appC..ireti tolt Su - Winona charging that he did feloniously and directly cause to be rrecivcd by Mr Charles Edward Inm.s, knowing the con tents Iherc9f, a writing demanding of the said C. E. Innes, with menaces, cud without any reasonable cause, the sum of 49 drillings. Mr Innee,a chair in the War-office, was at the Barnes Railway Station on the sth D..cembee, and having arrived a long time before the train by which he was to depart be • came due, he seated himself at the end of the platform, which was uncovered, and began smoking. A person came up to him, accompanied by a porter of the company, and requested the porter to take his name and address, for in fringing the bye-laws of the company, and he said he was an agent of the British Anti-Tobacco Society. Mr Innas gave his name and address, and put his pipe out at once; and afterwards wrote a letter to the secretary cf the society as follows :—" Sir,—This morning one of your society's agents took down my name and address, at Barnes Station, for smoking. Will you allow me to submit to you the fol lowing explanations, which he will bo able to corroborate. Ist. Having more than half en hour to wait for the next train, I was sitting in the open air away from the station, and annoying nobody. 21. That on being requested to desist I at once did so. On these two grounds I believe that, though I have made myself liable to your society's action in letter, I have not done so in spirit. Hoping this will meet with your favoruable consideration, I remain your obedient servant, C. a INNEs," To which he received the following reply: —" Dec. have no power to act in the matter to which your letter refers. I am deputed to pay the rewards offered for the conviction of offenders as described in the bills which are in circulation, and those who spend thei time in efforts to got the rewards would justly complain if they were not allowed to secure that object.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS REYNOLDS (secretary)." This was succeeded by the knowing : " British Anti-Tobacco Society. Established 1853. 10, Camden-square, Camden New-town, London, N.W. President, H. E. Gurney,Esq.

The above was in print and written under it the fol lowing :—'• Dec. 7, 1864.—Sir,—I sent your letter to the gentlemen who have offered rewards for the conviction of smokers. I send you on the other side a verbatim copy of their reply. It remains with you to decide whether the case shall be proceeded with, or whether you pay the fine and avoid the costs and exposure.--I am, sir, your obedient ser vant, Tnomls REYNOLDS, Secretary. P.S. I will not allow any steps to be taken till Thursday morning." 1. he letter referred to as enclosed was then put in, and was as follows :—" Dear Sir,—The reward is offered to be given upon conviction. If the offender confess his fault and pay the fine 40s, he may avoid a prosecution, and the rewards shall of course be given, in addition to what may be ob tained from the guilty party. The parties are thus secured against loss of time, The present case seems dein If the smoker will not arrange matters quietly, nd must be pro secuted, the instant he is convicted the complainants legally claim, and shall receive the reward, as well as the £2 to which the offender is liable by the laws of the railway com pany." Mr Selfe here said he thought the case had failed upon the point that there was no absolute demand of money, but merely a suggestion that complainant might pay. Mr Selfe then asked Mr Lewis to explain to whom the 40s was to go. Mr Lewis replied to the man who discovered the offence, which was made clear in the letter complained of. Mr Selfe—No ; he was to receive the rewards. If any one offended against the bye laws of the company, and thereby made himself liable to a penalty, the fine went to the Queen, and it was highly indecent, to say the least of it, to induce any one to compromise an offence to divert the penalty from her Mojezty's exchequer, and put it into their own pockets. It was the phrase, "If the offender confess his fault and pay the fine of 405," that had induced him to grant the summons, as it was really asking the complainant to pay there. Mr Lewis said that it would be given to the porters and others. b had no more right to it than either Mr Lewis point ed out that to sustain this e if:nee a man ho e i r r A S l e r i f L c' w bs is er l v i c a d d. they must be put in fear, and complainant had not ba€n. Mr S.:lib ohs. rye(' that on legal grounds this case failed. because the money must be demanded, but hero it was only suggested. It had been decided that such a suggestion, even where it was intimated that property would be destroyed, and the person who wrote the letter could give information about the destruction of the property, was not a demand, nor a menace. Mr Innes had behaved like a gentleman in the transaction, and so far from being menaced or in a fright, ho thought that the defendant was more likely to have been in a fright at these proceedings than Mr Innes had been, and the menace must be such as to put a man in personal fear, and Mr Innes had not been: therefore the case technically failed, Ho did Act kit there as aA , 1 i ......

Mr Morley inquired whether it was not a misdemeanour at common law ? Was it not competent for the mag,is4 rate to commit the defendant under the 18th of Elizabeth, cap. 5 (an act to redress disorders in common informers) by which it was enacted that if any person should, by colour or pre !ence of process, or without process upon colour or pretence of any mat ter of offence, &c., should be guilty of an offence). Mr Selfe observed that his colleague and himselr, in an ticipation of the bearing of this case, had looked closely into the matter, and had found by the statute of Elizabeth that it only referred to cases in which process might he taken in a superior court. Althouz,h magistrates, by some of the cans they had referred to, had concurrent jurisdiction with !he super tor courts, yet this was not a case c , guisable in a -uperior court, and therefore proceedings could not be takm before him unthr the statute. The eummcns vas then dismissed. Murder in Durham. - o Since the dreadful murder of old Mrs lia'liday, at liebbletret, near Chester-le.street, the County of Durham has happity been ire from any crime approximatin g to ieliberate taking of life. A shocking event, however, has Just cecurred which has put an end to this impunity from crimes of a capital nature. A dreadful wife murder has taken place at a small colliery village of The Spen, near Winlaton, county of Durham. This village is situated Arent a couple of miles from Winlaton, and is on the bor ders of the Chopwell plantations. The Chopwell estate, some few years ago, was brought under the attention of Parliament, and some curious revelations as to its injudi cious management came out in the diseuesion on the sub ject. The estate on which the plantations are was for merly the property of the unfortunate Earl of Derwent water, and was confiscated to the Crown in 1715, and is now under the charge of the Greenwich Hospital Commis sioners. The village of The Spen, and the colliery attached to it, which bears the well-known name of the Garesfield Colliery, is situated on the borders of these plantations. The colliery is the property of the Marquis of Bute, and is worked by his agents. It was sunk about 1800, and Ilea continued working ever since. It produced a famous coking coal, and the coke made from it is recognised as the best made. The colliery is managed with much ability by the viewer, Mr. Green. Amongst the pitmen employed at this colliery was a hewer named Matthew Atkinson, aged about 45. He had worked there for several years, lived iu a small cottage iaThe Spen with his wife, Ellen Atkinson, a woman aged 43. She was better known in the village and neigh. beurhood as Nelly Atkinson. They had no family. Atkinson appears, from all we can learn, to have been a quiet, decent, orderly conducted man in his daily intercourse with those around him. He was unfortunate in his wife. His life was embittered, his comfort destroyed, his home rendered miserable by the dissipated habits of his wife, the unhappy murdered woman. We are informed that he bad found kindness and severity alike ineffectual for her reformation. Uproar and disturbance, arising out of Mrs Atkinson's dis sipated habits, became at length so frequent, that when the neighbours heard them they ceased to regard them as of any importance. On ono occasion Atkinson was brought up by his wife for assaulting her. This will account fur none of them interfering to prevent the perpetration of this dreadful and afflicting case of wife murder. We may mention here as a most remarkable circumstance that the pitman Smith, who was hanged at Durham about four years ago for the murder of Batey, a slater, near Winlaton, lodged with Atkinson and his wife, who at that time lived at Blay don-on-Tyne. As in the present case Batey had been at a shooting match, and was murdered by Smith on his return from it. On Saturday Mathew Atkinson was present at a shooting match held at Hopson, a small colliery village on the other side of the river Derwent, and situated between Tanfield and Burnopfield, the latter famous as the scene of the mysterious murder of the young surgeon, Mr Sterling. Atkinson appears, unfortunately, to have taken too much. drink while at the match, and when he set out for home was undoubtedly the worse for Yquor. He reached his own home between 10 and 11 o'clock. On getting inside he found his wife in ben, and from what has since transpired there is good reason for supposing she had been drinking. The miserable man would seem to have lost command of himself at the sight, and infuriated by this and the drink hs himself had taken, he commenced a furious and murderous assault upon his wife. Shrill screams issued from the cot tage. At first the neighbours did not pay much attention to this; but the uproar at length became so terrible and fi:reo, the shouts of some one within the cottage so agonising,, that the affrighted neighbours gathered round the door of the unhappy couple to ascertain the cause. T..° sounds they heard that some one was using the firuirons, and giving fierce and deadly blows, while at frequent intervals groans and cries were heard from some one within the room. The n&ghbours were of course dreadfully alarmed at what they heard, and knocked at the door to ascertain the cause, end 'lading no attention paid to the summons, they eCu wptcd open the door. Atkinson called out in tones of anger t hat be would oho)t the first, that attempted to come in. They ;lo loft the neighbourhood of the door, and not long aiterwards Atkinson himself came cut and walked about cutside about a quarter of an hour, talking to seine of the neigh bours. At the end of that time he said to one of them ‘• go back and finish the No ono seemed to attach any weight to the dreadlul threw ; or at least if they their coLduct would seem to have bi,eu shockingly callous and indifl rent in not preventing the miserable man frcoa completing the horrid tragedy. Ile returned to the house, and recommenced his savage assault upon the unfortunate womand, and continued it until ho became alarmed at seeing that his wFe was really dying film his brutal treatment. This appears to have somewhat sobered him, and he would thus seem first to have in some degree realised the dreadful position in which his blind and drunken fury had placed him. lie called the neighbours in. They found tho poor woman lying on the floor ; a shocking mass of blood and bruises. They lifted her upon the bed, but she only gave two sighs an then expired. Information of the horrid crime was immediately given to the police, and P.C. Harrison, who is stationed at IVinlaton, was soon on the spot, anti apprehended Atkinson for the murder of his wife. He was afterwards conveyed to the Blaydon lock-up by Sergeant Wood, where he now remains. When the police entered the house the scene which presented itself was truly hor rible. The floor of the dwelling apartment where the mur der had been committed was literally covered with the blood and hair of the murdered woman, as if she had been dragged about when the tragedy was being enacted. The poker, the tongs, and the coalrako were bent in such a manner as to render them useless as weapons, and they also were covered with clotted blood and matted hair. The fire shovel too had been used by the murderer, and some ghastly work must have been done with it, Its handle was smashed and the blade coated with blood; and not satisfied with the weapons ho had already used, the murderer had taken up the handle of the house brush, and in striking his victim had broken it, twice. The body of the murdered woman when Dr Callender arrived, a short limo before the police got to the spot, pre sentcd a shocking appearance. It was one mass of bruises and wounds. She was then dead. On the left temple was a large wound two inches long and of the same width; her left arm was broken, and four fingers on the right hand were also fractured, On her legs were cuts and bruises, and w h e t h c e a r n i n h o e t a had be e said.been Therein fl i w c t e e ed oneby kicks or large wound th de e fire ironsnthe a r e igh it t w le a g a, w i t h c i u ch t d i e t e i p s ly a w iz o t n o d t e h r e d il id ee n t o , t l e f e r v a i c n t a u rae holet h e l a i m s b if—a piece had been hacked out.

THE MAORI WAP..—If this war should unfor tunately once more break out, no blame can be attached to the naval and military forces which were origi nally employed in bringing the rebels of New Zealand to a proper sense of their duty. We fear, however, from the which morew we fightinghav e receivedbefc byine last mail,that i d will peaceable condition ; but come what m a y , we have the before the iss reduced to a satisfaction of knowing that perfect unanimity reigns be tween the members of the two services. There is a total absence of jealousy on the part of soldiers and sailors, Bnl all vie with each other in awarding honour to those whet deserve it. As a proof of this, we mat say that we have seen an extract taken from a letter written by an officer high up on the staff of the military Commander-in-Chief, in which, after alluding generally to the fight at range, the writer makes the following complimentary 01%. sion to Commodore Sir W. Wiseman :—" The Cotntnoderes behaved like a • brick' at Tauranga, and went about amidst a hail of bullets as unconcernedly as if he had been walking about the streets of London." We do no t this - insert brief but spirited statement merely to prove that bravery is not an uncommon quality with naval o ffi cers of rank, but to show that an amiable feeling' to exalt their cauirades of the sister service reigns amongst the land forces stationed in.

The weather, yesterday an unpleasant mixture of snow and wind, seemed to have arrayed itself to day in festal. robes to celebrate the entry of the Guards into the capital from the seat of war. Both snow and storm had ceased, and the severe icy cold of the last few days was somewhat diminished. Although not in the same degree as at the entry of the Brandenburg regiments, ten days ego, the city was nevertheless decorated to a considerable ex. tent. The private houses exhibited flags, and many were adorned in addition with garlands and wreaths, The streets were crowded with the grasses, all streaming towards the broad thorough- fare Unter der Linden. The decorations provided at the expense of the town for the reception of the Brandenburghers had been left to do duty on this occasion as well. 'The Municipal authorities in their robes of office occupied a gallery erected between the Palace and the Opera-house. Dlmi tations of the trades' unions with flags, banners, and bands had taken up their position at the into. nument of Frederick the Great on tha northern side of the Linden. Shcrtly after 11. o'clock military music heralded the approach of the troops here in garrison, who took up their posi•,ion upon the Paris square and the south side of the Linden promenade. The King had ordered that the four regiments of the Young Guards, who now returned from their first campaign, should be received by the elder try and Grenadier Guards. Behind those four regiments the discharged men of the troops about to enter, who had participated in the campaign, were drawn up under the command of Lieut.-Col. von Blucher, while the remaining troops of the garrison, and deputations from the garrisons at Potsdam and elsewhere were posted on the south of the Linden, between the Wilheltns-strassc and the Palace. The regiments about to march in had assembled in the meantime on the parade ground before the Bran. denburg gate. They consisted of the 31 and 4 h Foot Guards, together forming a combined brigade; the 31 and 4th Grenadier Guards constituting thl. combined Grenadier Brigade—tho Ist Pu.sen In fantry, Nl. 18, and the s:h Brandenburg Infantry, No, 48, making up the combined Infantry Brigade. These troops were followed by the Hussars of the Guards, the Brandenburg Cuirassierßcgiment, No. 6, and the Brandenburg Jagers, No. 3. Next came the Artillery, consisting of a 6-pounder and a 4-pounder battery, and the procession was closed by the fortress and pontoon companies of the Guards. Field-Martial Count von Wrangel rode upon the right wing, while his Royal Highness Prince Frederick Carl occupied the centre, each leader being followed by his respective Staff. The parade was under the immediate command of Lieutenant- General von Plomski, who also rode in front of the troops, accompanied by Lieutenant-General von der Mulbe. Major. General von Schlegel com manded the combined infantry brigade of the line, the Brandenburg Jagers, and the fortress and pon toon companies of the Guards—Duke Wilhelm, of Mnklenbarg-Schwerin, led the combined cavalry brigade and the two batteries. The band of the Field Artillery marched upon the right of the batteries. The Generals and officers who had been promoted since the campaign and were summoned to Bt lli° to take part in the entry took up their position to the right cf the troops they had led, or rode with the Staffs to which they had been attached. Officers at present in Berlin who had been transferred to other regiments rode with their old corps, as was the case with the officers of the Land wehr who had served during the campaign, The troops were accoutred in field marching order, with cloaks, above which the officers wore their sashes. All officers who had made the campaign wore the white bandage upon the right arm. The Dannebrogs captured in the field were car. ried by the companies by which they had been taken. All the men were decked with wreaths and flowers. The ladies, who have always shown such great kindness in caring for the wounded who passed through the cap'.tal, had provided each soldier with a wreath and a patriotic poem.; The flowers and wreaths wero carried by the men upon their rifles. Meantime the Generals and superior officers not serving with the troops had assembled on horseback at half-past 11. before the Palace, to accompany his Aljesty to the scene of the inspection, white the officers on foot took up their position at the statue of Prince Blucher. Shorty after noon his Majesty appeared, surrounded by the R o y a l Princes, Herr von Bismark, and the Minister of War, and accom panied by a'very brilliant and numerous suite. The Queen and Queen Dowager, with the Crown Prin cess, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and the Princesses followed in carriages, and were at once received with loud cheers by the people and the troops. The bands struck up the National Hymn as the royal party proceeded slowly along the centre of the Linden promenade to the Brandenburg-gate. At this point Prince August of Wurteinbarg waited the arrival of the King at the wing of the four regiments of the Old tiu ird. On his Majesty coming in sight the troops presented arms, and the King, followed by Prince August of Wurtemburg and the Generals and Commanders of regiments, proceeded through the Brandenburg.gate to the parade ground, where the troops, under the command of Prince Friedrich Carl, presented arms along the whcle front. Prince Friedrich Carl then rode for ward to meet the King, and when his Majesty had reached the centre Lieut.-Gtm. von Plonski pre• sented the report. As the King rode down the ranks he was greeted with a joyful "Good morn• ne from the various regiments. The inspection being ended, the King halted in the middle of the formation and ordered that the colour-bearers, as well as their officers and soldiers who had been decorated and had distinguished themselves during the late war, should step forward to the front, where they formed a hollow square, with the colours in front, His Majesty the," TIIE SOURCE OF THE NILE.
