reallefieff • decidedly favourable ratter to that
the peat hw dap, but there was still much tors for ta-
provsouit. The seam in which military spestacles are at
all an at atithe exhibition has pared for this year. For
though the heat and duet of a summer day are unfavourable
reareales to • review, they do not miler military evolu-
tions so difficult and unertsfamory as when the troops are
wading over their ankles in land, sad the srpotatere are
almost froetbltten by the keen wind. The spectacle,
therefore, of yesterday, such as it was, presented
something, unfortuniasir, more like the real dinoteforte of
'campaigning than all the holiday shows of Bald-days, sham
' tattler, and siege operations, which usually °empire the
programme of Alderebott /dte days. It has for some time
been known that it was her Melody's desire to pay a visit of
inspection to the troops previous to her departure for Osborne,
but the unprecedented severe and wet weather which has
prevailed for the pest fortnight has from day to day delayed
the date of the royal visit. There was not much choice left
of the way In which the Inspection of the troops should take
place. To march them to the open Eros which forms the
usual review ground would be, in the present semi-Bob
condition of the ground, of coarse impossible, and simply to
parade them in front of their aureaments would not be rtiffi-
neatly ceremonious to befit the occasion of a royal reit; it was
therefore decided to march the little army in its full active
service equipment from the camp r fax as Fernley to
meet the royal sortige. The troops were paraded at 111118
o'clock in their active service fall marching order, and before
tan o'clock the whole force were marching towards Frimley
In fmr brigades, each formed into continuous columns. The
first brigade, under the command of Lord William Paulen,
led the van ; it consisted of a field battery of artillery, the
second battalion of the 13th Light Infantry, the let Stafford-
shire Militia, the North Cork Rifle* and the 3Gth Light
Infantry. The second brigade followed under the command
of General Laurence, comprising • field battery, a
detachment of Royal Regrew% the 9th Regiment
of Foot, the East Rest Militia, the Oxfordshire
Militia, and the Watt York Mae. The 3rd brigade, com-
manded by General the Hon. flpieser, consisted of a Bald
battery of artillery, the 47th Retreat the Stirliogshfre
Militia, and the North Down Mar Tie Cavalry Brigade
was commanded by General Leurentroa, and consisted of a
troop of Hone Artillery, the 4th Dragoon Guard., and the
10th Unseat.. The B Mallon of the Military Train, and
Ambulance Corp., with a guard of the North Down Rifles,
brought up the rear. Thus the whole division concocted of
eleven regiments of infiurry, two meaner of cavalry,
twenty-four guns, a detachment of lengthier sad • battalion
of the Military Train, in all about 12,000 or 13,000 men—a
Very :erectable force to move with facility even for a few
miles along a turnpike-road. The column took the direct
route along the Winoltester-road, passing through
the crop scree the railway bridge at the Fern-
berough-station of the South Weaken line through
Yarborough and Frimley to ?finality-green, upon
the advance guard, reaching which place this whole column,
which attended fur several miles along the road, halted to
await the arrival of the royal party. It Is needier to say
that the toad, at all times muddy, was by the continued
traffic trodden Into a complete parte, which of course spread
heel( over the lower extremities, forming a universal though
sot • pleasing oddities to the varied uniforms. Her rejoin,
and those who aceempared bar ware no less early on the
move than the troops, kern left Windsor Castle shortly
alter 10 o'clock in the arming. The royal party, which
toss led of the Qatar the Prince Consort, the Princess
Altos, the Duch= of Queen,
the Hon. Mary Bolter,
Lard Cherie. Fitaroy, Lord Alfred Puget, Cdonal
the Hon. A. Harding., to., drove across the
otaratry as far as Primley-ooenmen, where they arrived
at about half-past eleven. The horses having been changed,
the Queen, accompanied by the Prince Consort, who was
attired he the nudism uniform of a general officer, and a
large Nag took ap their stations on Frimley-green. The
column of troops was again eat In motion, and marched past
the Queen's euriage without carrying arms or dipping the
°elates, is feet ia tartly the same order as if on a long
march. The apperanee of the troops in heavy marching
order, encumbered by all the useful but inelegant porsories
of active service, if sot so gay as when on parade is infinitely
mote martial, and impresses the spectator with the ides that
he is witnessing • really effective military force and not •
mere holiday procession. The discipline of the troops seemed
shelters: regiment after regiment, as they rounded the
enclosure and defiled past the Staff, stepping as ens man,
showed ,bst, too plainly the strict training they had been
under, and the adorns's, now so gravelly adopted, of
teaching the troops to sot together, not in regiments but In
large brigades and dirtiest The Queen remained standing
daring the whole time occupied by the passing of theoolumn,
upward, sf an hour and • halt. After paring through
Frimley the column struck into a cross-road, and after
making a circuit of • couple of mile again formed
on the are read to the camp, a little beyond
the Farnborough Station. After the parsiag of the rear
guard the royal party drove rapidly in the direction
of the camp, again meeting the head of the column as it
emerged upon the Aldershotteroad. The &WO* took up
their station on the edge of Cool-common, where it remained
until the maps had filed pasta second time, which second
inspection did sot terminate until about half-past two &rook.
As era as the rear guard of the little army had entered the
r morel of the Camp, the Queen and the sure drove of to
the Royal Pavilion, where they partook of • hasty lunch,
and again started for Windsor Castle shortly after half-past
three. The peaty, as they returned through the Camp, were
received with the customary royal salute. It Is understood
that the Queen expressed herself especially gratified at the
perfect stale of discipline is which the whole of the troops
composiag the division were kept. It la not expected that
her Majesty will earn rest Aldershott before next spring.

GOVERNMENZ ECONOMY AND THE MINE-
POET SERVICE.

It is only on occasions of groat public calamity,
gaol as the disestrous Crimean winters of 1864-66, that the
gross mismanagement and ruinous expense attending the
routine system of transacting government business comes to
light; yet scarcely • day pares that some most glaring
blunder I. not eiressaitted by some deoartassat or another,
akhoagh they du not become the subjects of public tommeat
unless their malts are peculiarly disaatrous. A case which
bog jet occurred wool/ certainly vie with anything which
the Crimea Commission brought to light. At the com-
-11100111011111 a the present mouth the Bombay, a sailing ship
of 1,600 loos, wee chartered for the War Department for
the oonveyabee of troops to India, of course at an enormous
expense per diem. Rome 300 or 400 troops were put on

remained at Cork. hatted of asading thanes:nen st the ex-
