THE QUEEN IN IRELAND.

(PROM OCR OWN REPORTER.)

WEDNESDAY.
The portion of time which her Majesty gives to
her loving subjects was this day divided between the E :hi
bition building and the Phonic Park, in the former of
which the royal party gave the various of of art, pie-
' torial and otherwise, a minute and careful inspection ; and
in the latter bore patiently the pitileu pelting of the rain
for a couple of hours, while the garrison, aided by a large
contingent from the provinces, went through a series of
beautiful evolutions on the well-known Fifteen Acres.

From an early hour a considerable number of persons
had assembltd opposite the building in Merrion•equare in
expectation of witnessing her Majesty's arrival, which was
generally understood wuuld take place about ten o'clock,
while the chairman and the members of the committee
had posted themselves outside the principal entrance for
the purpose of receiving her Majesty and conducting her
through the building. The Queen, however, took them
and the public rather by surprise, having driven direct to
the Royal Dublin Society House, where she was received
by Mr. Belshaw, of the Bydenham Crystal Palace, and pro-
eeeded into the building throws!' the private entrance be•
fore the committee were aware of her presence. Her Ma-
jesty left the building at twelve o'clock in the manner she
had entered it, having remained just two hours.

THE REVIEW.
In the afternoon all Dublin, and the 100,000 visitors
who had poured into it from all parts during the week,
were all agog for the Fifteen Acres, for the purpose of
witnessiog the most popular of all spectacles in Ireland—
s grand military review. Many causes contribute to form
this national predilection. In the first place, a military
taste has been formed by the constant presence of a large
garrison; and, secondly, the manteuvring ground is admir-
ably adapted for the safe performance of rapid and brilliant
evolutions. The field is popularly called " The Fifteen
Acres," probably from its original dimensions, but by de-
grees it has swelled into a vast plain of two hundred and
eighty, as level as a bowling-green, and covered with
an elastic turf that contrasts favourably with the
rugged scrub of Chobham, or the hard, dusty
surface of the Champ de Mars. Only one drawback
exists to its perfect fitness for the purpose Mundt!. !. Its
contiguity to the Dublin mountains, which form an im.
posing hack ground, makes ft ' a rain belt.ved land, over
which clouds are continually hanging, and the moment the
guns begin to fire down comes the rain in torrents to the
infinite discomfort of the officers and troops. The spectators,
however, are in no way inconvenienced. They expected
the rain as a matter of course, and come armed with
imbeciles of all varieties of pattern, and on feeling the first
large drop, expand such an ocean of convex calico, as
probably weld hardly tie exhibited anywhere else in the
world. The crowd yesterday was immense, but most
' orderly and cheerful. Her Majesty was exceedingly
well received on her arrival, and remained patiently
to the end of the evolutions. Her Majesty appeared to be
particularly struck with the successive charges of cavalry,
which were magnificently executed, the horses coming up
at full gallop, as if about to sweep everything before them,
but stopping at the very wheels of the royal carriage, with
all the suddenness and precision of machinery. The troops
reviewed were the Royal Horse Artillery, one troop
(6 guns); Ist (or King's) Dragoon Guards; 11th (Prince
Albert's Own) Human; 17th Foot; 63rd ditto; 46th, 21st,
91st, 90th, 16th Lancers; 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen's
Bays); and a field battery of the Royal Artillery, with six
guns, in all about 6,000 men. This order differed slightly
from that observed at her Majesty's former review, in 1849,
the heavy cavalry having been then concentrated on the
right, and the light on the left. The whole were under
the command of Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Blakeney,

Major-General Cochrane being general of division, Colonel
the Earl of Cardigan commandant of the cavalry and
hone artillery, Colonel Garrett, K.H. (46th), command-
ing the right brigade, consisting of the 17th, 63rd,
and 46th regiments, and Lieutenant-Colonel Macpherson
commanding the left brigade, formed of the 21st, 90th, and
91st regiments. His Royal Highness Prince Albert did not
command, but received the -Mite on the part of her Ma_
jolty from the troops, when marching past. Her Majesty,
Prince Albert, and the royal children arrived at half-put
four, escorted by four troops of the Queen's Bays; the
Prince being mounted, and wearing the uniform of Field
Marshal. On the royal carriage taking its stand at the
flag-staff, the entire line gave a royal salute, with colours
lowered, the bands simultaneously performing the National
Anthem. The royal party then proceeded to the right of
the line, and reviewed the troops on the extreme left, re-
turning to the flagstaff; when the line broke into open
columns of regiments, right in front, and marched back,
the Horse Artillery and Cavalry in slow time, and the
Infantry and field battery in quick. The Horse Artillery
and Cavalry then rode past in quick, and also in double
time ; the Infantry meanwhile forming for the commence-

ment of what may be called the business of ,he day, or
sham battle, the enemy being supposed to advance from the
direction of the front line of the mass of the spectators. The

manmuvres began by throwing out the 90th Light Infantry
in skirmishing order along the whole front of infantry,
with their own proper supports and reserve, flanked by a
squadron of the 11th Hussars from the right and of the 16th
Lancers from the left. When the line of skirmishers had
advanced half way they commenced firing with a volley,
followed by continuous advance, with the peculiar dropping
fire of skirmishers. Meanwhile the infantry had formed
line of battle with the three regiments of the right brigade,
while those of the left were formed in close column in the
rear, the cavalry at this period being similarly held in
reserve. The advance of tke skirmishers being sup-
posed to be checked by a brisk lire from the enemy's
front, the artillery opened fire from the right and
, left of the infantry line of battle, under cover of which the
light infantry retired and rejoined the left brigade in the
rear. The line of battle now advanced and opened a
rapid file firing, supported by the artillery on right and
left, realising a perfect picture of a general engagement.
On the order " cease firing " being given, a troop of 11th
Human from the right, and of the Lancers from the left,
" swept the plain " with sword and lance in magnificent
style. Meanwhile, the left brigade had formed line-af-
battle in the rear ; and on the retirement of the right
brigade the word " form four deep " given to the former
allowed the latter to pass in beautiful order between files
of the former, when the left brigade advanced, supported
by artillery, as the right had been, and opened platoon
firing, the cannon pealing on either fisnk. The enemy,
however, were supposed to ad• anee notwithstanding, and
the regiments broke into open column of companies and
retired, the cavalry dashing forward to the front from right
and left to cover the retreat, and charging by regiments
successively by the right, a rather unusal and pleasing
variety, when they likewise retired, under coverof artillery,
and by squadrons. On reaching the battalions of infantry they
