THE MILITARY AND NAVAL REVIEWS.

(From the A rniq tr."' Nur./ r;aytk.)

The military review in I lyile-pork to be held by
lot Maj,,ty on an early day in July is likely to be the
oi,le,t affair of the kind witne-sed in London for many
yea.. All the troops th it can he conveniently moaned to-
:arlor will he auctublea, and he,ddes a large force of
t fiery from Woolwich. the ',flowing corps will probably
1.. n the ground:- -Steyr,' n-giments of cavalry—viz., the
Id Life Guaras, Ist suet 4th Dragoon Guaira*, 3rd
:in I 110 Dipolar% and 17th Liii,•cr, ; fourteen battalions
..1 infantry - namely, 2n.1 nn.l :tri battalions Grenadier
'marl+. tat battalion Coldstream Guards, and 2nd batta-
I,on 5•;,44 Fusilier Guards, Ist battalion 18th Royal Irish,
I:r .I Light Infar.tt/?, ilth. tdth, 74th, troth, and CAth
Light Infantry. 711th an.l Ilighlanaers, and 80th
Regiment... A royal pavilion on a large scale will be
erected, and altogether, the review will be the event of
the v,:ivon.

Admiral Sir Thomas S. Paley, Bart., will, as the
ronanander.iu-Chief at Portsmouth, have all the ships
shish will take part in the naval review on the sth of
July under his command ; hot as the Admiralty nag will
he dein; on the occasion, he will, as a matter of course, be
in immr,liate attendance on their lordships, and take his
directions from them.

The int,•n led naval review at Spithead on the l(th pro:.
has already begun to excite considerable interest in Ports-
mouth, and at a meeting of the Town Council yesterday a
committee was appointed to consider what steps should be
taken to give local eclat to the event. The Mayor of
l'ortanuuth offered the use of his residence at
Southsea to the Sultan, but a communication
from the Turkish minister in London announces
that his royal highness will he the guest of the lords com-
missioners of the •t•lmiratty. The Victoria, 1?1, screw
6o•.•-decker, Commander Co Irington, which was under
orders to dismantle and pay out of commission, has taken
in a supply of coal and gone out to Spithead, where she
will remain until the review takes place, and will not
be 1.611 off until afterwards ; but one watch of
the ship's company has been granted leave of
she nee. The crew of the Resistance, 16. iron-clad, which
was paid out of commission on Thursday, were ordered
to report themselves on ho 011 the Duke of Wellington on
th.• Nth proximo. The Black Prince, 40, iron screw frigate,
whose crew is about to he turned over to the Warrior, for
service on the coast of Ireland, will be temporarily manned
by seamen belonging to the ships in harbour, supplemented
by a detachment of about 150 officers and men of the Royal
Marine Artillery.

The Army 004 Nary Gazette is glad to say that
an order will be issued from the War Office almost imme-
diately, for the payment of the extra 2d. a day to the non-
commissioned officers and men of the army. The increase
of pay will date from the let of April, and the arrears
from that day will be at once disbursed.

The Se•etostor publishes to-day an analysis of the
defence put forward by Admiral Ferman° for his conduct at
Lisa. The gi+t of it is a statement that Vice-Admirals
Albini and Yucca disobeyed orders, in refusing to allow
their wooden ships to enter into the conflict against
iinnourplated vessels, and the most extraordinary fact of
the engagement, the sudden departure of the Aff mdatore,
when she had effected nothing, remained unexplained.
An amateur performance of Herr Schachncr's
oratorio, " Israel's Return from Babylon," will be given at
Exeter-hall on the :end of next month, for a charity. Two
of the principal parts will be sung by a duchess and a
bishop's lady.
For the next Philharmonic Concert Mendels-
sohn's " Walpurgis Night" is announced, and Madame
Arabella Goddard as solo player.

The veteran Rossini; at the Palace of the
Tuileries on Tuesday evening, presented to the Emperor
Napoleon the score of his unpublished hymn, which is to
he executed at the moment that the Sovereign enter
the great nave of the Palace of Industry
ea the Ist of July next, the day fixed
for the distribution of the prizes of the Universal
Exhibition. The execution of this piece is confided to M.
Georges Hainl and his orchestra, M. Jules Cohen and his
choruses, and N. Paulus an I his military band. The
accompaniment, moreover, requires the aid of some enor-
mous belle and of cann,..n shot fired at intervals. The
Sovereigns who are to make their entry to the sound of
this formidable music are the Emperor and Empress of
the French, the Emperor and Empress of Austria, the
Sultan, the King and Queen of Portugal, the Viceroy of
Egypt, and the King of Sweden.

The A thenerli in repeats its disapproval of La
Trarinta, as a story to be set to music, and its judgment
that the selection of lamb a theme by a composer mark■
a prurient coarseness of taste which is sure to pervade the
body of his works. "A more offensive opera•book could
not he named ; and it is difficult to say whether the
balance of disgust lies on the side of heroine or
hero—not to speak of the ►Lomination of presenting
physical no less than moral disease by the agency
of a beautiful art. That any modest woman can prevail
on herself to appear in the opera is not the least mond
connected with the repulsise affair, seeing that if she
to represent the character she must doff her modesty, and
don the airs and the wiles of a siokly and sentimental
courtesan." To-night bldlle. Nilsson will appear in the
more gracious part of blarg.iritt in 'alga, with Signor
Gardnni.

The Waterford Standard states that the wrath of
the populace broke out with such violence against the
informer Corydon that the police had great difficulty in
saving him while driving through the streets. The c►b
was almost smashed with atones, and several of the escort
were struck.

Tin ()AKA COLLIKRY. —Yesterday is meeting of
the principal mining engineers of the kingdom was held at
the office attached to the Oaks Colliery, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the propriety of opening out
the slushy, with a view to the recovery of the bodies
remaining in the mine. It was agreed that operation.
should be commenced as soon as poseible. A oonaiderable
bundler of widows were outside the office, and requested
to see Mr. Woodhouse. On that gentleman coming down
among them, one of them said that those present had re-
latives in the pit, and they were desirous of knowing what
decision the eniciueers had re
to. Mr. Woodhouse then
addressed them in very feeling terms, stating that the
engineers had agreed to open the pit without delay, but it
was a work that could not be done so soon, perhaps, as
might be expected. It would take a considerable time to
clear and reach the bodice, and he trusted they would con.
tinue to hear with patience until that period arrived, as
they might rut assured everything would be done in that
direction as speedily as possible. The poor woman appeared
much pleased on hearingthat the colliery was to be opened
out, and the nee, soon spread through the Hoyle-mill and
Barnsley, where a similar feeling
_prevailed.
Tun GhonsoP CONVENT. —Mr. James M'Donald,
father to three of the girls who lately ran away from the
r:IW.Ip Convent, and were sent by the Sheffield police to
SbefS •Id Convent, writes to the 7'irises :—" The children
at %mop are at school there as boarders ; some are mad
for, others are taken in without charge. I bad four girls
there, all paid for by rue. The three who n n away were

aged% The three were sent to me from Sheffield, and
1 fetched the youngest from the school. lain not satisfied
with the manner in which my children have been treated
tecur.litig to their own account, which I have no
reason to believe untrue, especially as what they my
b borne out by the condition in which they were found.
The Ndlor of Sheffield has treated the matter very
lightly in his letter to the Secretary of St.te, calling it ' a
very pretty story,' and' ouch ad., about nothing.' I will
es,
.!Y say that all my chidden had lice on their persons or
clothing :one had sores; two have lost a great toe-nail each
frees chilblains ; the youngest had the itch ; and they all
eereplmin of harsh treatment. In the interests of the
children emit by poor pan nts, and of orphans, I deem it
my duty to express my c nut. Lion that the girls are not
the guilty parties which many seem willing to consider
them, and that they had sufficient grounds for of inns to
quit the school."
