known, hada Tenants Compensation Bill ready, and
It WSL therefore, absolutely necersary to take the wind
out of their mita. The Government would meet with
assured success in an English Land Bill. The petty
would be re-united. The peace party would forgive
the Egyptian War, the anti-Bradlaughltes would for-
get the Affirmation Bill, and the Irish would not
obstruct whilst tenant right was being enlarged. The
popularity of this measure mLitt prepare the way for
several of the other Bills upon the Ministerial pro-
gramme. Fortunately for the praipects of • quit time
In the Houma, Mr. Brailaagh seem. to have resolved to
stamp the provinces, instead of trying to terrorize the
Hones.

The supporters of the Government are doiog their

generally on the question of the Affirmation Bill. Mr.
Gladstone's speech is being circulated throughout the
whole country. Alresdy the second hundred thousand

In the matter of the C 1). Acts the Ministry are
between two fires. The War Office officials, a large
party in the House, and the lobabitaato of some at
least of the pr..t.cted districts, are ind.gnant at the
removal of any of the Metropolitan police before the
Acts are repealed. Oa the other band, the opponents
of the Acts are highly indignant at the retention of
any of the police and the continuation of examination
upon "voluntary submission." When the submission
bones made there is an end of the "voluntary " party
of the business, and the party may be detained in
accordance with the full powers of the Act. The
question is not set at rest yet by soy means.

SUIIDAL

The Ministerial party led clubs. and the Opposition
quickly followed snit. The opening of the " B4IIIIOODS.
field "weans closely oath. heels of the opening of the
" National Liberal." The diri wee scarcely uttered

Won the disiatg wee retorted. Neither spectacle was
wholly edifying from the Mandimint of an impartial

outsider; but, then, purely partizan polities ets not
often edifying.

International exhibitions are now of such frequent
recurrence that they mese to be objects of all-abeorb-
log interest. London, Amsterdam. and Berlin are now
holding their International Exhibition festivals, and
all appear to be unusually will deserving popular
support and encouragement. The ceaseless' rain on
Saturday spoilt what would otherwise have been a
pretty pavient enough on the occaiden of the opining
st South Kensington of our own International
PhJuries' Exhibition. The Queen, for almost the
fiat time during her long and prosperous reign, wag
unfortunately compelled to depute to the Prince and
Princess of Wales the recognition of Royal encourage-
ment which Her Majesty was so desirous to give
this interesting undertaking. Her absence was, of
course, mach regretted. But nothing could be more
appropriate than that an exhibition of the denizens of
the great deep should be opened by the Prince of
Pi(h)ales. The procession warn of a kind quite novel
to Londoners, who never see anything more imposing
than the trumpery Lord Mayor's Show. There was
quite • continental flavour about the programme at
the Horticultural Gardens, and if the sky had only
hems continental too for the afternoon, the whole scene
might have been a lesun in picturesqueness. The
Queen's Waterman in their handsome uniform., and
the fish girls in their native costume* were the chief
popular attractions. There was an unaccountable
emission from the program ue, which surely ought to
hare afforded space for the singing of the Boteahn
oasis opera—" 0, all ye whales, and all that move
in the waters l"

Sines the previous evening the weather had changed
wonderfully for the better, for there was an almost
cloudier sky, and the sue shone down in ell his
spl•ndour. This year there had been an entirely
different arrangement as mord' the church parade.
Instead of going to church, as in years past, at 11
o'clock, the Yeomanry had • ape 151 service in St.
Mary's Church at half-past nine. Between eight and
nine bugle calls were heard resounding in various parts
of the town, and shortly after nine the men of the
regiment began to assemble is the region of the King's
Status, and while they were being inspected by their
respective officers the band played several charming
tunes, to the delight of a very large number of people
who had assembled. Shortly after half•past nine thy
marched off down St. Mary's-street, headed by the
baud, en their way to church, numbers of people
watching the gay spectacle. On arriving at the church
they were accommodated, as usual, in the body of the
church, while those of the outside poblic who cared
to attend were seated in the side aisles.
The service was abbreviated, and the Rev, J. H.
Soott, the recto., who officiated, preached a short
sermon from the reeding dealt, taking for his text the
II Book of Samuel, chapter xxi, V. 6—" And the
priest said, The sword of Goliath, the Philistine, whom
thou slowest in the valley of Blab, behold, it is here
wrapped in • cloth behind the ephod ; if thou will take
that, take it, for there ía no other save that here. And
David said, there is none like that, give it me ;" and
St. Paul's epistle to the Epheelans, chapter vi, v. 17—
"And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of
the spirit, which is the word of God."
The total number on parade of all ranks was 238.
Lieut.-Colonel Hambro was in command, the other
Mews pregent beiog Captain and Adjutant Hon. E.
'leery, Dr. Daniels, Captains Montagu Guest, Id.P.,
W. B. Brymer, HP., Portman, Goodden, and
Merthyr Guest; Lieutenants Thornton, Chapman,
Williams, and Tod. There were also present—
Quartermasters Bauntoa, Watts, English, Stacey,
Roger,, and C. Monckton. The day was fine through-
out, and, both In the afternoon and evening the bend
played selections of music to • large number of pro-
menaders on the Esplanade, in front of the Royal.
The competition for regimental sword exercise will
take place today (Monday). Au unusual &moon& of
Interest is canoed amongst the troopme this year by
thin competition, on account of an order having been
Issued disallowing quartermasters to compete, Quarter-
master C. Munokton having taken the first prize and
regimental badge of crces-swords during the laet three
years, and Quartermaster Watts having obtained the
woad prise during the last two years. Several of the
troop prises for swordmanaltip will also be awarded,
as well as • pries given to the recruit who acquits him-
self best in sword exercive, by Lord Richard
Grosvenor, bate Lieutenant-Colonel of the Regiment.
The adjutant's prise this year will be given to the
best turned out recruit (man and bored). The
regimental shooting prise will be competed for on
Tuesday, by sections of four men from each troop,
under the Lloyd-Lindsay rules, having to ride over a
distance of about three-quarters of a mile over two
Sight. of hurdles, and fire five shoes each at the 500
and 600 yards range. The prise for the beet turned
, out troop and the prim for the best turned out man
and horse will be awarded on teriday before the Jasper.-
. ties drill.

" Cheap Jacks" are not a litieous class. Buying
end selling for ready money, they have have no deirte
to be enforced ow to enforce. They are usually
merallets of a rough and ready sort as well as traders,
and, If their eyes do not "stand out with fatness,"
they are not "in trouble" aa other men, using the
word trouble in its technical sense of a misunderstand'
Mg with magistrates or other judicial functionaries.
The Cheap Jack who appeared in the Corot of Queen's
Bench on Thursday had a right to be tenacious of the
dignity of his order. He had been fined 20s. for hold-
ing a lottery, and, regardless of expense, he appealed
from the beaks to the High Court. Unfortunately,
the decision of the judges was against him. Hs had
meld packets of tel with coupons attached, which
weapons represented prizes of different values. This
wee held to constitute an offence within the meaning
of the Lottery AM. It is a hard cam It was not
alleged that the tea was not worth the price asked,
mate independently of the prize. The gambling
element was very ',Halt, for the Talus of the prizes did
not vary much, and there were no blanks. In slightly
different modes the same kind of thine is done every
day, and there are few bazaars where much more real
gambling dom not occur. The Cheap Jack ham been
hardly used, and has a grievance upon which he may
Justly descant to rustic audiences to his dying day.
