THE LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL.
The LONDON
SATURDAY Sixteen closely printed QJOURNALuartois intended to be
a cheap Weekly Periodical, whose chief object is to aid in the
Moral and Social Improvement of the bulk of the community. A
regular demand now exists amongst a very large class for litersry
information, and " useful knowledge," which is, of course, supplied
from various quarters; but there is no existing cheap Periodical
which aims at occupying the peculiar ground open to the
LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL.
Without coming under the designation of what is usually under-
stood as a " religious" Periodical, it is intended that the Journal
should have a distinctive Christian character; that it should habi-
tually appeal to the religious feeling, as well as the understanding,
of its readers ; and that both its information and its amusement
should have a higher aim than passing gratification. By carefully
avoiding a sectarian spirit, it is hoped that the Journal will be ac-
ceptable to all denominations; and by embracing the usual topics
of a Literary Weekly Periodical, that it will obtain a wide range of
usefulness, and have both power and opportunity to aid in promoting
the sccial advancement of man.

REV

lEW OF THE TROOPS AT
MALTA BY THE QUEEN DOWAGER.

( From the Malta Gazette of Dec. 26. )

The Queen Dowager reviewed the troops on the Florian
Parade last S iturday afternoon. Her Majesty was accompa-
nied in her carriage by the Countess of Sheffield (Lady of the
Bedchamber), Viscountess Canning, and Lady Southampton,
and was attended by her suite, consisting of the Hon. Miss
Hudson and the Hon. Miss Mitchell (Maids of Honour), the
Earl Howe (Lord Chamberlain), the Earl of Denbigh ( Mas-
ter of the Horse), and Capt. Curzon (Gentleman Usher).
The Earl of. Sheffield, the Countess of Denbigh, Viscount
Canning. Lord Lovain, Lord and Lady Hamilton Chichester,
Sir Andrew Barnard, and other distinguished persons were
also on the ground.
The regiments were formed in line, consisting of the 47th,
59th, and 92d (Highlanders), with the Royal Artillery on the
right, end the Royal Malta Fencible Regiment on the left.
The grenadier company of the 77th Regiment was stationed
as a guard of honour in the rear of the saluting point, and
received her Majesty with the usual honours upon her arriv-
ing on the ground about half past two o'clock, and a Royal
salute having been fired from the field-pieces, the brigade,
with Lieut.-General Sir Henry 13.7.uverie and his staff in front,
presented arms, and the hands played " God save the Queen."
His Excellency then took the commands of her Majesty, and
the troops being formed in open column, passed in slow and
quick time, in review order, her Majesty acknowledging the
salutes of the officers and the lo,.vering of the colours as they
passed her carriage. Although the weather was dry, the
wind was rather keen from the north-east, and her Majesty
having alighted, walked to the ridge of the glacis overlooking
the great harbour, whence a full view of the ground on which
the troops were to perform their manoeuvres of attack and de-
fence may be obtained. The advance of the columns was
covered by the skirmishers of the 92d Regiment, who ap-
peared to drive the enomy before them, while the regiments
formed in line, and kept up a running fire for a considerable
time, coming afterwards to the fearful charge, in which the
line of each battalion was beautifully preserved, notwithstand-
the unevenness of the ground. The main road was defended
by the artillery, who fired rapid rounds from the field-pieces;
and the enemy being supposed to be repulsed entirely from
the suburb of Florian, the troops returned to the parade
ground and again formed in line. •
In the meantime his Excellency the Governor, having
alighted, had the honour of conducting her Majesty upon his
arm to the front of the line, on foot • and then, remounting
his horse, advanced with the whole brigade in slow time to
the general salute. Her Majestv graciously advanced from
her suite, and others who attended her, towards the General,
end expressed herself highly gratified with the manoeuvres she
had witressed, and with the general appearance of our garri-
,on, which we have often seen to distinguish itself for the pre-
cision and celerity of its movements, but never so much as on
this occasion, in the presence of royalty.
The desire of the public to be present at this compliment to
our Queen Dowager was not repressed by the coolness of the
air, which cut across the eminences upon which they stood ;
nor did her Majesty appear to suffer from the same cause.
The multitude at all points was very great ; and the de-
corous and respectful demeanour of the people, as her Ma-
jesty passed among them on foot, was iu union with the feel-
ing of loyalty they have invariably evinced since her Majesty's
arrival in Malta.
