Review in Hyde Park,

A grand review was held in Hyde Park yesterday, before
the Prince and Princess of Wales and a brilliant assemblage.
The troops on the ground consisted of the Grenadier and
Coldstream Guards, two batteries of the Royal Horse Artil-
lery from Woolwich, the sth Fusiliers, the Life Guards, and
Horse Guards Blue. The troops went through a series of
file and volley firing, and there was a charge by the cavalry,
in which, unfortunately, four troopers were dismounted ;
the whole force then advanced in review order and presented
arms to the staff. The firing was remarkable for its re-
gularity and precision, and the whole of the movements of
the troops were executed with great steadiness and concen-
tration,

After these evolutions the whole force marched off the
ground with their bands playing.
The Princess was accompanied by the Prince and Prin-
cess Louis of Hesse, the Princess Louise, and the Princess
Mary of Cambridge. The Prince of \Vales rode immedi-
ately after the carriage of the Princess, accompanied by the
Duke of Cambridge, and attended by a very brilliant staff,
amongst whom were Sir Yorke Scarlett, Lord G. Paget,
Colonels Weed and Lambert, Lord F. Paulett,
Ths review was over by twelve o'clock, the 12th Lancers,
who had kept the ground, being the last to disappear.

BLOCKADE OF GERMAN PORTS.--"Foreign-office,
July 2.—Sir,--I am directed by Eail Russell to state to
you, for the information of the Committee of Lloyd's, that
a report has been received by telegraph to the effect that
the Ministry of War at Copenhagen has announced the esta-
blishment of the blockade of Dautsio on the 29th, and of
Him on the 28th ult., and has stated that the light-houses
on the west coast of Schleswig, and especially these of List
and Riedeliff, will be extinguished under certain contingen-
cies.-1 am, sir, your most obedient servant, E. HAarmoND.
Captain G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloy:s."

, - THE ROMAN CATHOLICVOTE.—The- Tablet pro-
mises the Opposition leader at least 21 English votes, con-
demnatory of Lord Palmerston. "It is not," says the
Tablet, "on the question of Schleswig-Holstein alone, but
on the general policy of the Guvernmen c that the country
will have to decide. If Irish Catholic members do nut
clearly understand this, we apprehend some of them will
learn it to their cost, when they come before their constitu-
ents as having, with their last vote, supported Lord Pal-
merston on a question of confidence. And so, let hon,
gentlemen look well to their lobby, and may God defend the
right."

A SEAMAN DROWNED.--The Caledonia, 33, iron-
clad, in charge of Cow. Hodges, assistant master
attendant of Sheerness Dockyard, arrived at Devonport
soon after 10 p.m, on Saturday, to be docked and prepared
for the pendant at the Nore. She made a fine passage down,
and will be brought into harbour early this morning. During
the passage, at coma half-past 11 on Friday morning, when
she was off Margate, Richard Barrett, one of the riggers on
board from Sheerness Dockyard, was drowned, The Cale-
donia was going at a high rate of speed, under steam and
sail, when a cry was raised of a man overboard. several
persons, among whom Barrett was foremost, rushed to
lower a boat to proceed to the rescue. Barrett was in the
act of stepping from the ship's side into the boat, when the
gripes were suddenly let go, and, the boat swinging off, he
fell between the boat and the vessel overboard. Efforts were
made to rescue him, but unfortunately without success.
