GRAND MILITARY INSPECTION

OF THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.

I This day being appointed for the celebration of her
Majesty's birth-day, the customary military inspection
of the household troops took place in St. James's-park.
At nine o'clock, the whole of the disposable force of the
five battalions quartered in the metropolis arrived, and
the ground to be occupied having been marked out by
the brigade-major, the troops took up their position as
tollows:—The dank companies of the Ist and 2d bat-
talion of the Grenadier Guards, flanked by the troops
appointed for duty at Buckingham and St. James's
Palaces. The two battalions of Coldstream Guards
occupied the centre; and the second battalion of the
Scots Fusileer Guards on the left. The Ist Regiment
of Life Guards, and the bands of the several battalions
preseint, were placed on the extreme right. The sight
was Most brilliant and imposing; the troops wearing
their new clothing, and forming three sides of a square.
The scene from the Horse• Guards was magnificently
grand. The number of rank and file present amounted
to nearly 1,500. At half-past nine o'clock, the officers
commanding the several divisions arrived, as well
as a number of fashionables in their carriages, who had
the privilege of entering the marked ground, which was
kept by d ,tachments from the various regiments. At
precisely five minutes past ten o'clock, the Duke of
Wellington, in field marshal's uniform, Prince Albert,
Grand Duke Constantine, Prince Leiningen, Prince of
Lucca, Duke of Saxe Weimar, Marquis of Anglesey,
Marquis of Londonderry, Duke of Cambridge, Prince
George of Cambridge, Colonel Drummond, &c., accom-
panied by a numerous staff, arrived, and were received
by the troops presenting arms, the bands playing the
national anthem. The troops having formed into double
open order, were inspected by the Duke of Wellington,
accompanied as above, after which the battalions broke
into divisions from the right, and marched past in slow
and quick time, when they again formed into line and
went through several minor evolutions, the ground not
being sufficiently extensive to admit of any grand ma-
nceuvres being performed. Another grand salute having
been given, the illustrious party and generals left the
ground, and the troops were marched to their respective
quarters.

PROGRESS OF CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY IN PRUSSIA.
—The Prussian Government,
not content wt
accord-
ing full and complete publicity to trials, has given direc-
tions that the courts set apart to the public shall be ar-
ranged in amphitheatres, so as to allow all visitors to see
ih
and hear all that passes. The public part of the new
court of the criminal tribunal at Berlin is even fitted up
with stuffed seats covered with velvet. •
