COLONIAL DEFENCE.

Before the Royal United Service Institution, on
Monday, Sir Thomas Brassey read a paper on the
subject of naval organisation for the defence of the
colonies. He remarked that as the larger colonies
had grown in resources and population they had ex-
hibited a spirit of independence and gradually
asq,umed increased responsibilities. Canada had
organised a militia, and the Australian colonies had
undertaken the defence of their harbours, both by
works on shore and a flotilla on the sea; but in the
defence of their coasts and harbours by naval means
the colonies could not as yet rely on their own
resources. The building of ships was simply a
matter of money, but the manning the ships efficiently
was a far more difficult task. His suggestion
was that cadets should be nominated by the
Colonial Governments in sufficient numbers to supply
the officers required for the Colonial naval service.
With regard to the defence. of our ocean trade, that
could be accomplished not only more efficiently, but
far more cheaply, by the Imperial navy than by the
divided fleets of the Colonies. As a preliminary and
practical step the Governments of the Australian
Colonies should be invited to send representatives to a
conference, at which all the contingencies of war
should be carefully reviewed and the naval strength
to be provided be determined, and the cost should be
estimated and apportioned as between the Mother
Country and the Colonies. By this means a basis
would be made for the mutual defence of the Empire,
and the first step would have been taken in the direc-
tion of Imperial federation.

IN CLERICAL DISGUISE.

Julius Nicholas Strovelle, who was dressed as a
minister, was charged at the London Mansion House,
before the Lord Mayor, with stealing two books, the
property of the Sunday School Union, 56, Old Bailey.
An assistant stated that on Friday afternoon, between
four and five o'clock, prisoner entered the premises,
and on being asked what he required, he requested
witness to give him a price list, which he did. Pri-
soner then looked round the book shelves, and one
of witness's colleagues noticed him put a book in
,his pocket. In consequence of that witness went
into the gallery, and there saw the prisoner put
another book in his pocket. Witness went for a con-
stable, and on his ieturn prisoner left the premises,
but was stopped some distance away. Police-con.
stable Bond stated that he asked the prisoner if he
had taken any books? Prisoner replied, " I bays
got no books.' He opened his coat, but there were
only some papers in the pocket. Witness found a
book, "More Leaves from Journals in the Highlands,'
in his pocket. The last witness said he mu.t have
another book about him, and witness found a second
book, "Memoir of Sir Walter Scott," in prisoner's
pocket. After the first book was found prisoner re-
marked, "I suppose a shilling will pay for it." Arter-
wards prisoner said he had got no money, but Is. 2d.
was found upon him. Prisoner said that owing to
religious intrigues in Ireland he had lost allhis money
twice. FTe did not deny removing the books. It was
stated that the prisoner was before the Court in 1880
for larceny, and was sentenced in 1881 to two months'
I hard labour for the unlawful possession of books. 'Lie
Lord Mayor sentenced prisoner to three months' hard
labour.

BITRHATI.

RANGOON, July 13?

The My entzeen Prince has issued a proclamation
offering 2000 rupees for Sir C. Bernard's head.
General White, while riding through Mandalay, ac-
companied by two officers, has been fired at from a
house, and the intending assassin escaped. Owing to
threats that Mandalay would be attacked by the
Myentzeen Prince's men and that the public buildingi
would be burnt, the court-house and other public
buildings have been garrisoned by the Hampshire
Regiment, and the streets are strongly patrolled at
night. On the sth inst. Major Skene, advancing
from Thonsagwa to attack the Choungwa Princes,
two minor Alompra pretenders, suddenly came on the
Princes, and captured 130 men, of whom 40 had
muskets. The Princes escaped. Colonel Le Mesurier
recently marched from Mvingyan with a column to
attack the rebel position near Notagye, 17 miles to
the south. Another column coming from the south-
ward was to combine in the attack on the rebels. The
southern column did not keep time, and while advancing
leisurely and in open order was attacked by the
enemy. The ammunition mules bolted towards the
enemy, who captured several, with the ammunition
carried by them. Our men, owing to the want of
reserve ammunition, could not continue the fight, and
retreated with the loss of their baggage. Colonel Le
Mesurier's column, however, carried the rebel posi-
tion. Sir C. Bernard and General White have reco-
vered from their recent attacks of illness. The
Ningyan district continues in a very disturbed. state.
A steamer on the way from Tounghoo to Ningyan
was delayed five days, the insurgents having rendered
the Sittang river impassable by occupying the banks.
The rebel Boh cpptured by Mr. Colquhoun near
Tsagain has given information that the Chinese traders
are supph ing the insurgents with arms and ammuni-
tion, and ho declares that plenty can be purchased in
Mandalay if they be heavily paid for. This would
explain what has hitherto been a mystery—whence
the insurgents have procured their supplies of ammu-
nition.

A GIRL RESCUED FROM INDIANS.

A romantic Indian story comes from the Pacific
coast. About the 20th ult a desperate encounter took
place between the Indians and a small band of Mexi-
cans near Nogales, Mexico. It seems that on the 27th
of April last some Apache Indians, under Geronimo,
made a descent on the place of Mr. Peek, kiding Mrs.
Peek and her child, and taking into captivity Mr.
Peek and his niece, a girl of 12 years of age. They
have been hotly pursued ever since both by the United
States troops and Mexican civilians. The band of
Mexicans, but 10 in number, struck the trail of the
Indians, and followed it up with great determination
and energy. There were 42 hostile Indians. When
near the summit of the mountain on which was the
Indian encampment the Mexicans were fired on,
three fell dead, a fourth being severely wounded.
The remaining six sprang into the bush and en-
deavoured to outflank the hostiles and obtain an
equal elevation. One of the chief's squaws in charge
of the girl Peck was sleeping in a creek near the spot
gained by the Mexicans. One of the Indians ran out
to call the squaw in, but she waved him back, and
with a rifle fired on tha Mexicans. She was shot
dead, and, to save herself, the girl fell to the ground,
feigning death. The Apaches, hearing the firing,
ran out. The leader was shot dead. In attemp6ing
to carry off the body six others were shot dead also.
The Indians carried off their comrades, but could not
regain the bodies of the women. The girl is well.

LORD WOLSELEY ON CYPRUS:

At a conference held at the Indian and Colonial
Exhibition on Monday, Sir Robert Biddulph read a
paper on " Cyprus." Lord Wolseley, who presided,
remarked that no one had done so much for the island
or left it with greater regret on the part of all classes
than the lecturer. Sir R. Biddulph explained the
system of administration in Cyprus, and sketched the
judicial reforms which had been adopted since the
British occupation. The courts, as reorganised, gave
great satisfaction, and were a model for any Eastern
country. The revenue very largely depended on the
harvest. Last year it amounted to £172,000, and the
expenditure to £lll,OOO, leaving a surplus of £61,000.
This was a handsome surplus, although it
did not go all the way to pay the tribute.
which amounted to £92,000. It was often asked
"Of what use is Cyprus to England ?" The English
Government was continually offering good advice to
Turkey, and it must be admitted that her advice was
sometimes contrary to the interests of that country.
During six months of our occupation of Cyprus more
had been learned of Turkish administration than was
ever known before, and it was for our Government to
make use of that knowledge. The geographical
position of the island had rendered it of value in the
Egyptian expedition, and its position had served to
extend British trade, the imports from this country
into Cyprus having risen from 15 to 30 per cent, of the
whole from 1879 to 1884-5. (Cheers.) Lord Wolseley
said that when the English troops first went to
Cyprus it was condemned after a very short period
of residence as the most unhealthy place in the world.
They had the misfortune to go in a peculiarly bad
season; but since that time the percentage of sickness
amongst the troops had been less than at any other,
station in the world. (Cheers.) Since the British
occupation of Egypt Cyprus had been a recognised
sanatorium to which a large proportion of our inva-
lids had been sent. He believed that Cyprus had
become a model province, and well deserved the atten-
tion of all Turkish rulers, This was entirely owing
to the admirable administration of the affairs of the
island by the late High Commissioner, Sir R. Bid-
dulph. (Cheers.) The conference terminated by a
vote of thanks to the chairman.

THE MARKETS.

MAltii-LANE.

Not much has been done at Mark-lane, but the tone of
the maviset has been a shade firmer on the indifferent
American crop accounts. The fresh arrivals were moderate
from farmers, but thera were fair importations of wheat,
oats, and flour. The wheat sales of home-grown produce
in the 45 weeks of the season were 2,659,647 qrs. as against
2,588,261 qrs. last season, the average being 80s 8d
against 33s 2d per qr. The sales of barley were 2,820,897
against 2,873,414 qrs at an average of 2,is 2d against 31s id-
per qr. ; and of oats 359,753 against 395,391 qrs., the average
being its 3d against 20s 7i per qr. English wheat met
i a quiet sale, but was steady s value. Foreign wheat sold
slowly on former terms. The flour market was inactive at
previous currencies. There was not much doing in barley,
bat the market was steady. Oats were in good supply and
quiet requeA ; fine samples were firm, but inferior fiat.
Maze sold at late rates. Beans and lentils were firm, but

ROME, July 12._

The Gazzetta Piemontese, commenting on the viola-
tion of the Berlin Treaty by Russia, remarks: "We
have another symptom that the peace of Europe is
seriously endangered, and that fresh events are in
store for us. On the eve of the expiration of the
Triple Alliance, and at the moment in which so much
is said of the approaching meeting of the Emperors
and Great Chancellors, this incident of the port of
Batoum is particularly alarming. This is, perhaps,
Russia's first move."
The Dintto says: "We must conclude by remark-
ing that Batoum is for the Russians the shortest route
to Constantinople, a far shorter routo than through
the Eastern Balkans. Herein lies all the explana-
tion of the abrogation of Article 59 of the Treaty of
Berlin."

The Popolo Romano says: "Now that the elections
in England are about to turn out of power a party
which does not entertain towards Russia the same
hostile feeling entertained by the Conservatives, and
it is most probable that the party most benevolent to
Russian policy in the East will be kept long out of
power, it is but natural that Russia should have
eagerly seized the opportunity of accomplishing an
act which will be allowed to pass without many
remarks now that Mr. Gladstone is still Prime
Minister, but which would have met with serious ob-
stacles if Lord Salisb..ry had held the reins of
power."

(Telegram from Daily Telegraph Correspondent.)
VIENNA, July 13.
The rumour current here this morning that Eng-
land intends to despatch three ironclads to the Dar-
danelles as a set-off to Russia's proceeding in con-
nection with Batoum is considered in competent
quarters to be eminently improbable. It is obviously
desired in those regions that Russia's arbitrary con-
duct should be passed over unreproved. Such, too, is
apparently the wish of the German Government. At
all events, the Nordeleutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, which
had observed a significant silence on the whole inci-
dent,now publishes the official Russian decree, followed
by the brief remark that the Batoum question will
shortly disappear from the order of the day.

or 22 bills are to go before you, and those represent
about 15 cases altogether. Having described the
character of the cases referred to, the learned judge
proceeded: I am now sitting here again as Crown
judge of the county of Kerry to charge the grand
jury with respect to the number of offences alleged
to have been committed since the last spring
assizes, so that I am in a position sitting here to deal
with the entire year's crime of this county, and having
regard to the information I have previously received
and the information I have received now, to tell you
my deliberate opinion is that the county Kerry was
never in a worse position or condition than it is at the
present moment with reference to crime—never. I
find that 219 offences have been specially reported to
the constabulary since the last assizes. Two murders
have been committed; sending letters threatening to
murder, 19; firing at persons, 9; manslauE;Lter, 1;
rape, 1; assaults inflicting bodily harm, 11; assaults
on police officers, 1; burglary and housebreaking, 4;
robbery, 13; cattle stealing, 7; arson, 19; killing
and maiming cattle, a most dastardly and cruel
outrage, 12 • malicious injury to property not exceed-
ing £5 in value, 75 • other wilful and malicious injury
to property, 9; forgery, 1; unlawfully imposing
and tendering oaths, 14; seizing arms and
levying contributions, 26; firing into dwell-
ing houses, 10; sending threatening letters and
notices, 38; rescue of distress for rent, 1 ; and intimi-
dation, 22. We have 219 offences committed since
the last assizes. During the corresponding period of
last year there were only 116, but within the past 12
months upwards of 500 offences of the nature I have
just mentioned have been committed in the county
Kerry. That is a state of affairs lamentable in the
extreme, whatever opinion anybody entertains about
politics or religion. It is nothing more or less than a
disgrace to the country that such a record should be
laid before you by me as Judge of Assizes. God
knows I have no wish or inclination to make things
worse than they are, at the same time I can be no
party to calling out " Peace, peace," when there is no
peace.

ELECTION RIOT IN CAMBRIDGE-
SHIRE.

During the polling in the Newmarket Division of
Cambridgeshire on Tuesday serious rioting occurred
at Fordham polling station, and it became necessary
to postpone the polling until the following day.
Several policemen were hurt, Sergeant Wilderspin re-
ceiving serious injury. Other damage was done.
Reinforcements of police were sent from Cambridge
and Newmarket. A later despatch says: The village
of Fordham is about 16 miles from Cambridge, and
between four and five o'clock the deputy chief.
constable received a telegram requesting him to
send police reinforcements there. He had just time to
catch the lasttrain with a bodyof men. The disturbance
is attributed to various causes. According to one re-
port, a number of labourers attempted to intimidate
voters going to the poll, whilst another story is to the
effect that the rioting arose from an exciting argu-
ment between political partisans. The police and
some civilians were roughly handled, and one of the
officers was thrown into a ditch, whilst the polling
place was attacked, and virtually destroyed. It is
added that the houses of the clergyman and Mr.
Townsend were seriously damaged, and that the
rioters took possessir,n of a public-house. The rioting
was quelled after police reinforcements had arrived
from various districts, but polling could not be con-
tinued.

DISBANDING OF TURKISH TROOPS.

The Turkish journals publish an official oommuni
cation which may be regarded as marki ig the close
of the recent difficulties with regard to Greece and
Eastern Roumelia. The announcement reads as fol-
lows: "The ilournelian and Greek ouestims having,
under the auspices of his Majesty the Sultan, been
settled by a decision of the Council of Ministers, con-
firmed by an Imperial Irade, the troops assembled on
the frontiers of those regions will be reduced to their
normal strength—that is to say, the Regular Army
will be put on a peace footing, the Red ifs and Must-
hafiz being dismissed to their homes. In order that
the battalions which are to be sent home may not
suffer loss or inconvenience on the return journey,
they will each be taken to the headquarters of their
respective terOtorial districts and there disbanded.
Orders have been given to those concerned to carry
out this decree'

THE SANITARY CONDITION oF
QUARRY BANK.

At the monthly meet lug f the Quarry Bank Local
Board, held on Tuesday night (Mr. W. Cartwright
oresidinz), a report of Dr. Gressvell, sanitary in-
+pector tothe Local Goverment Beira, was present-
ed. Dr. Gresswell pointed out the daugerattenlince
the improper construction of house drains, and
stated that a number of nuiAmees %which he had
drawn tbe a' tention of the inspe•-tor tea met-Ith rign
were still unabated. On the occasion of his second
visit wells were in 4angf•r of being polluted just as
they were on the first vislt, and n acion had been
aken in regard to them. He recommended that the
inspector's duties should be defined. The zymotie
loath rate for the past five years indicated that a
vast amount of work was needed in the district.
There was indeed imperative need for the w holesst-
abolition of nuisances The authorlties should make
a very determined effort to disburden the place of
i s numerals unwholesome conditions, so as to put
it on a safer sanitary footing He recommended the
11,1Arning forward of the sewering and draining of
inhabited parts of the district, the removal of night-
aoil intervals not excee,4inv, one week, and that
Ipfter means should be provided for the disposal of
ni,!htsoil. Steps should be at once taken to provide
a adequate supply of wholesone water. and to
mature the scheme for providing a hospital for the
i,olation of oases of infectious disease. Efficient
•ue ins for disinfecting bedding and clothing should
tlso bo provided.

SORREL FnrrrEns.--Roll small portions of the puree
into balls with the addition of a little flour. Dip them
into batter, made as directed, and drop into a sauce-
pan of hot fat, and fry a pale brown colour; drain on
porous paper, and serve hot. For the batter, take four
tablespoonsful of flour, a pinch of salt, one gill of warm
water, one tablespoonful of melted butter, or salad
ail, a pinch of baking powder, or the whites of two
vgs, whipped to a stiff froth. Mix the flour, salt,
cutter, or oil, with the water, free from lumps and
tastly add the whites of eggs or baking powder, dip in
the balls, co,,er them thoroughly, and fry.—Annie M.
Grirgs. in Gardening Illustrated.
SORREL SOUP.—Take one
quart of picked sorrel
leaves, a small bunch of chives, two ounces of butter,
white pepper, and salt to taste, one lump of sugar, the
yolks of two eggs, and three pints of broth, in which
meat has been cooked, or second stock. Wash the
sorrel thoroughly, and put it into a scrupulously clean
saucepan with the butter and a little salt, place the
lid on the pan, and shake well over the fir 3 for about
ten minutes to partially cook the sorrel in its own
juice; then add the chives, finely chopped, also the
stock, and boil with the lid off the pan for about half
an hour, or until the sorrel is soft enough to be passed
through a colander or sieve. All scum should be re-
moved as it rises to the surface. After the soup ham
been passed through the colander, so as to make it all
of uniform thickness, return it to the saucepan with
the sugar and pepper, and stir over the fire until it
boils. Beat the eggs with a little of the soup, pour
the boiling soup on to them, and serve with toasted
bread, cut into dice. Instead of using the eggs, this
soup may, for economy's sake, be thickened with a
tablespoonful of flour, mixed with a little of the soup,
free from lumps, and then stirred with all until boil-
ing. -

A LOCOMOTIVE RUNNING AMUCK.

A peculiar accident has happened at the Islington
railway workshops, Adolaide. A 70-ton American
consolidation engine, which was in a stationary posi-
tion in the running shed, suddenly moved back into
another engine. The rebound sent the first engine
aown a sirgnt amine into tbuotuer locomotive. L.
then ran into a paint shop, of which it wrecked the
partition. Its further progress was stopped in this
direction, but, rebounding again, it went on to another
line, and collided with four engines, and damaged
thorn all more or leas. It is probable that the cause
of the accident was that the regulator valve was leak-
ing, thus admitting steam into the cylinders. The
estimated damage done was £l2OO.

ALLEGED ATTEMPTED FORGERY OF
RUSSIAN NOTES.

At the London Mansion House Police-court on
Monday, Garsien Czarnichouski and Abraham Myers
underwent a further examination charged with
having had in their possession, without lawful
authority, three wooden blocks bearing the impres-
sion of a Russian 25-rouble note. The City
Solicitor (Mr. H. IL Crawford) conducted the pro-
secution; Mr. Geoghegan was counsel for the de-
fence. Mr. Crawford recapitulated evidence as to
the prisoners having called on Mr. Gascoyne, an
engraver, and instructed him to prepare three
blocks for the engraving of a Russian 25-rouble
note. Mr. Gascoyne communicated with the police,
and proceeded ta make the blocks. The prisoners
were arrested on Saturday week. The case, he
said, was a serious one, as it had been contem-
plated that there should be an issue of 50,000 of the
notes, representing the sum of £125,000. It had
come to the knowledge 3f the Russian Govemment
that a large forgery of notes was contemplated, and
inquiries were made by Russian officials in this
country, but with little result. By a curious coinci-
dence the police were brought into contact with one
of the agents of the Russian Government, and it
would be proved that the proofs of the notes which
were got from the engraver were actually shown to a
person whom Czarnichouski thought wculd be a larg e
purchaser of the notes. Sir R. Carden said he was
rather surprised that the Russian Government had
not taken up the prosecution themselves. The
City Solicitor replied that the matter had
been left in the hands of the City police,
and that was a sufficient guarantee that it would
be properly investigated. Mr. Gascoyne, engraver, of
Fleet-street, then repeated the evidence given on the
former occasion. On one occasion Czarnrchouski told
him that he would arrange for a small machine to be
brought over for the purpose of printing notes, and
which could easily be destroyed, and he further said
he would arrange for 50,000 pieces of paper with the
water mark complete. Czarnichouski asked him not
to let anyone know, as his (prisoner's) life was in
witness's hands, and his (witness's) in his, and he
added that he would shortly give witness £5OO.
Czarnichouski further said that witness was not to let
Myers know too much, as he was "an old fool," and
that when the blocks were completed witness was to
keep them locked up until the paper arrived. Sir R.
Carden said Mr. Gascoyne had acted very judiciously
in the matter. Some further evidence was given, and
the prisoners were again remanded.

THE INDIAN WHEAT CROP.

The India °Elko has received from the Government
of India a report relative to the wheat crop in that
country of the season 1885-86, which states. The
harvest being now completed, the following estimate
has been made of the area under wheat, and the out-
turn during the year 1885-86, in the Provinces of the
Punjab, the North-Western Provinces and Oudb, the
Central Provinces, Bombay, and Borar, which, taken
together, comprise in ordinary years nearly three-
quarters of the total area of wheat cultivation in
India. For the remaining one-fourth, which is
contained in Bengal and in the Native States of
the Raj putana and Central India Agencies,
Mysore, and Kashmir, the figures are less trust-
worthy, owing to the absence of any organised
agency for testing area or outturn. The normal area
under wheat in India is believed to be about
26,000,000 acres, of which the average outturn is
estimated roughly at 7,135,000 tons. The whole
area cultivated in the year 1885 86 is estimated to
have been approximately 27,392,742 acres, with a yield
of about 7,739,424 tons. The latest reports give the
folio ing accounts of the crop. In the Punjab, not-
withstanding some want of moisture at sowing time,
the yield promised well in most districts, the rainfall
having on the whole been very favourable. Easterly
winds have caused injury in some parts, but the crop
is quite up to the average. In the Central Provinces
want of moisture at first, and subsequently excessive
rain, affected the sowings. The weather later was
favourable, but blight appeared in January and
February, and the crop over a considerable area
of the Provinces has been very far from good. In
Bombay the season has been on the whole favourable,
and the crop promised well. In Berar the crop gave
early promise of a bumper outtrun, but the untimely
and heavy rainfall in December and the cloudy
weather in January caused rust and blight, and much
damaged what seemed likely to be a splendid crop,
particularly in the Wun and Bassim districts. In
the North-Western Provinces and Oudh the month
o! April was characterised by dry high winds, which
shrivelled the ungathered crop of the irrigated tracts.
The following table compiled from the annual trade
reports shows the exports of wheat from India for the
past six years: 1880-81, 372,218 tons ; 1881-82,
993,176 tons; 1882-83, 707,220 tons; 1883-84,
1,047.824 tons: 1884-85, 792,714 tons; 1885-86,
1,053,025 tons. The countries to which wheat was
exported in 1885-86 were: United Kingdom, 603,561
tons; Belgium, 133,079 tons; France, 107,262 tons;
Holland, 4296 tons; Italy, 60,913 tons; Egypt,
114,807 tons; other countries, 29,107 tons; total,
1,053,025 tons.

KR. PARNELL AND LORD
HARTINGTON.

Mr. Parnell has sent for publication a letter, in
which he stigmatises as absolutely false Lord Hart-
in.gton's statement at Derby, that between the leaders
of the Irish party and the Fenian organisations of
America and Ireland there exists, through the
National League, a means of communication which
practically unites the whole movement into one body.
Mr. Parnell affirms that he knows nothing whatever
of these Fenian organisations beyond what he gathers
from the newspapers, and maintains that he has suc-
ceeded in :keeping the proceedings of the National
League within the bounds of legality and the Consti-
tution.

THE NAVAL REVIEW,

The date fixed for the Naval Review in connection
with the Naval and Marines Colonial Entertainment
at Portsmouth is the .23rd, and not the 20th as has
been announced. The Executive (London and Ports-
mouth) Committees, under Admiral Wells and Cap-
tain Fitz-George respectively, acting in concert with
Admiral G. 0. Willes, have been assiduously at work
completing thG final arrangements. The Colonial and
Indian visitors will be conveyed to Portsmouth by
two special trains from the Victoria Station of the
London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway at nine
a.m. punctually. It is hoped that both trains
will reach Portsmouth by eleven o'clock, so as
to admit of the fullest opportunity of visit-
ing every point of interest. The two trains will
en-ter the dockyard and be drawn up at two rendez-
vons which have been selected by the Portsmouth
authorities. Thence they will proceed to inspect her
Majesty's ships Edinburgh, Collingwood, Sultan, and
Imp6rieuse, the visitors being escorted in the inspec-
tion of these ships by Captain Tracey, R.N., of the
Steam Reserve; and Captain F. Jones, H.M.S. Nep
tune. The workshops, factories, , will also be
visited, special officers having volunteered their ser
vices with a view to thoroughly explaining all matter:
and points of detail. Luncheon will be served at half.
past one p.m. on board IT.M S. Euphrates, the saloor
and the whole of the main deck having been requisi-
tioned for the purpose. During the luncheon the
band of the Royal Marine Artillery will play. At
about three p.m. it is proposed that the guests shall
embark on board M.M.S. Orontes, the band of the
Roy il Marine Light Infantry also embarking on the
same vessel. On leaving the Dockyard the Orontes
will proceed to Spithead, where the visitors will in-
spect the powerful ironclad Reserved Squadron.
The Squadron will be drawn up in a single column,
and the Orontes will steam along to enable the visitors
to thoroughly inspect each class of ship. The
Orontes will afterwards proceed to Stokes Bay, and
the visitors will witness the mode of a night attack on
an ironclad at anchor, and also the method of clear-
ing a passage through an enemy's mines. On return-
ing from Stokes Bay refreshments will be served on
board the Orontes, and on reaching Spithead H.M.S.
Victory will be inspected. Nearly all the invitations
have been issued.
