the resPex-
treme interest had wonderfully increased during the'last half
hour. At half-past ten o'clock, the whole division com-
posingtive quarters in readiness to receive the Queen. All the
troops occupied their own ground, with the exceptiono
th the Rifle
Brigade, as
wbnod,einstead of f y
left of the field, were drawn up, with the first bri-
gade of infantry, on the left of the 93d Highlanders and
50th Foot. The spectacle at this period was, very im-
posing. The cavalry cresting the high ground -on the
right, the brigade of Guar& extending across the valley,
and the two infantry brigades stretching out to the ex-
treme left, flanked by the Royal Artillery, with a white
wall of canvas to fill up the picture, formed, a military.
amp d'mil such as can never before have been, wit-,
nessed in this country. The weather was, fortunateK
propitious, the sun not too bright to be dazzling, the
day not too warm, a slight mist of hazy blue in the dis-
tance, and the clouds somewhat lowering, in happy ac-
cordance with the darkness of the heath.
The interest of expectation was now added to the
beauty of the scene. The point of interest to which all
eyes were directed was Magnet-hill, one which were as-
sembled his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
Viscount Hardinge, Lord Seaton, and all the other
officers composing the staff. In close proximity to this
body were assembled the most distinguished persons in
the country--some in carriages, many on horseback—
among whom were a great number of female equestrians.
It is quite impossible to give anything approaching a
correct list of the fashionables present, but among many
others may be enumerated the Countess of Wilton and
the Ladies Grey Egerton, the Marchioness of Ailesbury,
the Earl and Countess oiStrathmore, the Earl Cawdor,
Lord Carington, Lord Dalmeny and Lady Louis, Prim-
rose, the Countess of Bradford and the Ladies Bridgman,

Manners, M.P., the Earl Howe, the Earl of Cardigan,

PRESENT CLAIMS.
TT is said Russia claims what Turkey won' b
allow : possibly the Emperor of the North is not content to
take "Turkey figs and carpets" in preference to " Russian tallow
and hides;" or he may think a slice from the Eastern Empire
would probably improve his Northern dominiops. However this
affair may terminate, it will no way influence those claims which
the season brings round ; nor is it desirable it should, for from
them manifold pleasures are derived. Gentlemen of all professions,
Mechanics, and Labourers claim attire suitable for wear in their
occupations, and for Dress occasions—the articles which never fail
to impart an elegant, gentlemanly, and fashionable appearance. All
these advantages, associated with very low charges, are displayed
in the Clothing to Measure, or Ready-made, at the Establishment
of E. MOSES and Sox, Alegate and Minories, or their Branch
Establishment, New Oxford-street, corner of Hart-street.
The claims of Young Gentlemen about to return from school may
be easily anticipated by Parents and Guardians. These claims are
new charns, which E. Mosre and Sox furnish better, snore fashion-
able, more comfortable., more durable, and far cheaper than any
other House can do. For the Midsummer Holidays novelties have
been provided excelling even former displays. This Attire will give
pleasure to every purchaser, and E. Moses and Sore have the greatest
pleasure in thus providing every novel description of Summer Dress
at the lowest possible prices.
The claims of the largest Clothing Business in the world—the
most gigantic and artistic Tailoring Establishment in the universe—
the most fashionable Hosiery Department in the kingdom—a Hat
and Cap Branch which has no parallel, and a magnificent Boot and
Shoe Emporium, at E. Moses and SON'S, claim public attention for
superior quality and very economical charges for every article.
THE BENEFITS OF EMIGRATION.
Emigration has put the country in possession of gold, which all
financiers declare to be the best curren y; it has provided employ-
ment for capital and a field for labour, which nothing else could
have done ; but the greatest benefits Emigrants can avail them-
selves of are Outfits and Clothing provided by E. MosEs and box :
these display suitablility, completeness. and economy in articles re-
quired by Emigrants of every profession and occupation, or may be
selected for any voyage or climate—the very lowest price being
charged for every article. A separate Department is kept for Oat-
fitting. Ship sailing information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies
and Gentlemen, may be had on application, or post free to any part
of the kingdom.
Observe I—The Largest Wholesale Clothing Establishment in the
world offers the best opportunities for investment to Merchants,
Captains, and Emigrants.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OIL OUT OF LONDON,

It will thus be seen that the royal tent, or "L
was the centre of an amphitheatre, ai id that a half-
of nearly two miles was afforded to t he spectators, who,
on her Majesty's approach, rapidly. spread themsalm
over all parts of the ground—the encampment being
comparatively deserted.

commenced by a long array of Riflemen, . . . out as

their advance. Their rapid and scattered' firing was
checked by the unexpected appearance of a part of the
enemy, who rose up from the marshy groins - where
their recumbent position had been unobserr by the
spectators. These poured in a sharp fire on the
skirmishers, whom they drove back, and gave occasion
to the exercise of the great arm of the service. The
Foot Artillery took up a'Ption on a height on the
right flank of the infantry, and opened a fire on this
Party, which speedily dislodged them. They made a
rapid retreat, but, being threatened with a charge of
cavalry from the right flank, threw themselves into
square, and presently effected a retreat. This small
corps, which rePfesented what might be called the active
spirit of the enemy, so as to give vitality to the battle,

consisted of the men off duty of the 23d Welsh Fusiliers,
marked,suct
sti
a party of the Royal Sappers and Miners, and some few
cavalry, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Vicars,
R.E. With this little party, who had 40 rounds of am-
munition served out to them, the supposed line of the
Theene advance
was
given, to evidence the utility and reason of the vigorous
charges made by the Guards and Highland regimen'aiti,
of
the prominently
sight. The steadiness of their onward progress,"and the
preoision of their volley, were the subjects of gent a,d-
miration. But nothing could possibly, be finer than the
advance of the brigade Guards in two lines, supported
on the right flank by a heavy battalion in square. Their
halt, and the delivery of their volley, were something
terrific ; and this latter, followed by the charge up the
opposite hill, with another simultaneous charge suddenly
by the Carabineers and the 17th Lancers on the right
flank, at onc3 routed the assembled multitude. We will
not pretend to give any detail of manoeuvres which it
would be. difficult to bring within the comprehension of
non-professional readers, but it is a striking proof of
Lord Seaton's admirable mastery of the science of war
that, even to the unmilitary spectator, the cause for every
manoeuvre in this simulated battle was apparent. The
Queen appeared to watch with great interest the different
evolutions, and joined in the general hilarity that fol-
lowed the dispersion of the people from the lieights on
the left of the royal position. The supple ed enemy
having thus been driven off, the staff approached the
Queen's tent.
At one o'clock the cavalry regiments, headed by their
bands, trotted past the Queen. As each regiment de-
filed, its band moved to the right and took up a position
opposite • the royal tent. The Horse and Foot Artillery
followed, and then came the brigade of G uards, the
drums and fifes playing the "British Grenadiers." The
scene at this moment was remarkably picturesque, the
cavalry extended its glittering files as far as the eye
could reach. The Guards were immediately in front,
with the 93d Highlanders following in their rear. The
valley was occupied by the 95th and 38th Regiments,
while the other corps might be seen at different points
emerging from the gorge separating the two hills on the
left of the royal tent. The rear was formed by the Rifle
Brigade. The appearance of the troops excited alto-
gether universal admiration. There were some that
pointed with pride to the Queen's company of Grenadiers, 1.,
in which not a man was under the height of 6 ft. 2 in.-; ”,'
others regarded with wonder the stalwart forms, broad
shoulders, and sturdy limbs of the Highlanders. There
were those, too, who remarked with satisfaction the
medals which graced the breast of many an old cam-
paigner in the 95th. Each regiment had its friends, and
the whole was certainly a display of which the nation
might well be proud, There is no country in the world
from whose army, however large, 9,000 men could be
brought together that, either in height, size, strength,
vigour, health, or appearance, would bear comparison,
or anything like comparison, with the men who passed
before Queen Victoria yesterday, on Chobham-common.
The 42d passed with their pipers playing "Bonnie
Landdie—Highland Laddie," and the Rifles with their
Jager chorus, and the review was over.
The Queen and the royal party, who had been seated
in front of their tents during the review, now remounted
their horses, and proceeded, amid the cheers of the as-
semblage, to the royal marquee on " Magnet-bill,"
where a superb luncheon was prepared for her Majesty.
Before her Majesty left the ground, and several times
during the day, she expressed to Lord Seaton and to the
Duke of Cambridge her high gratification at the manner
in which the troops had gone through their evolutions.
Shortly before three o'clock her Majesty re-entered
one of the royal carriages in attendance, and, with her
illustrious relatives, returned to the Staines station,
whence they were conveyed by train to Nine Elms.
Of- the number of personapresent, some notion may be '
formed by the fact, that in three hours 14,000 tickets
for Chertsey were issued at the Waterloo station, and
up to the hour of nine o'clock on the night of Monday,
between 300 and 400 horse-boxes had been specially
engaged on the Great Western Railway.
The weather remained fine during the review, but
broke in the latter part of the afternoon.

" sick"—the total being 142 ;but, out of these, only six
cases are of a serious nature, so as to require their being
removed out of the camp hospital (tent) to the general
hospital at Chobham, Thus it will be seen that the
troops, considering the damp weather, are in good
health.

THE DUBLIN GREAT EXHIBITION.—Amongst the ad-
ditional objects which have been introduced into the
Central Hall, the most remarkable is a stand of piano•
fortes manufactured by Mr. Charles Cadby, of London,
which were displayed for the first time yesterday. They
are situate at the left side, near the entrance, and,
as well from their neat and elegant appearance as their
superior musical qualities, attracted very general obser-
vation. They form a new and important accession to
the collection of instruments, and consist of a semi-
grand and cottage pianoforte, constructed with new im-
provements, the invention of which has been patented
by the exhibitor. One of these consists of an iron truss-
bracing at the back, by means of which the pull of the
strings, which in upright pianofortes has a tendency to
draw the instrument out of plumb, and in course of tine
puts the mechanical arrangements and their musical
capabilities into disorder, is completely obviated, and a
counter-action produced, so effective that the pitch of
the tuning can be lowered or heightened at pleasure with
the utmost facility. It is estimated that in all ordinary
upright pianos there is a pull of from four to six tons
when the strings are kept tuned to concert pitch. The
tension of the strings exercises an obvious and powerful
influence in producing a forward inclination of the frame
of wood along which they are extended. This produces
effects which account, in some measure, for the prone-
ness of pianos of this shape to go out of tone and tune.
One of the obvious consequences is, that the sounding
board becomes warped or "buckled," and the quality and
quantity of the tone are impaired. Another result of the
original adaptation being injured is, that the proportionate
accuracy of tuning cannot be maintained, and a laxity
is involved, which no remedial measures can effectually
obviate, as the prime cause remains unaffected. By
the contrivance which Mr. Cadby has originated, these
evils are guarded against, and a perfect equilibrium is
