pEATIT OF LIEUT. WILSON.

Lieut. William Leyland Wilson, second son of the late
William Wilson, El., of the Army Pay-office, died on
the 25th inst., at Cheltenham, in the 231 year of his age.
He was promoted from acting mats of the Vengeance,
84, for active service in the Black Stu during the Rus-
sian war, and was recently in command of the Hardy,
2, screw.

THE COLDSTREAUS AT ALDgRSHOTT.

Common report attributed to the Queen the inten,ion
of reviewing the troops at Aldershott on Saturday, at al
rumour, which the fineness of the weather—for if was
quite a "Queen's day"—seemed to sanction, attracted a
great numbir of visitors, who, on arriving at the camp,
had the mortification of learning that the troops were
not under arms, and bad not received any intimation of
'her Majesty's desire to inspect them. But those who bad
made the journey were not without their reward, for,
though there was no review, the day was as full of a• -
venture and pleasant excitement as any that has occurred
,ince'Aldershott was reclaimed from solitude, and con-
verted into a great military station. The sun shone forth
in unclouded sptendnur, the country beautiful, and the
landscape all around the camp presented those infinite
varieties of form and colour, of sound and fragrance,
which are so delightfully characteristic of a midsummer
day in England. It was one of Nature's holidays. The
strains of martial music, the contrast of costumes,
and the many striking incidents of camp life enhanced
the interest of the scene ; and when the Celdstrearn
Guards arrived, after an absence of nearly two years
and a half from their native land, and marched into
quarters amid the enthusiastic acclamations of the troops
already encamped, the picture was remarkably brilliant
and animated.. The regiment was conveyed from Ports•
mouth in special trains, and reached the camp about 1
o'clock. The rank and file were dressed in their new
tunics, hut ma. y of the officers wore the tail coats and
epaulettes in which they quitted England. All were in
heavy matching order—the heaviest they bad marched
in since they went where glory led them. But seldom
were they seen in such gallant guise. They had bueches
of roses in the MUZZ'CS of their firelocks, and in their
hands bouquets presented to them by the ladies of Ports-
mouth. Nor was it uninteresting, as indicating charac
ter, to observe the strange souvenirs which many of the
men brought-home with them from the scene of their
adventures. Some had Russian dogs, some had Turkish
goats, one had a pet singing-bird, another a black hen,
and a third—a veteran warrior, with a beard worthy
of E,au—fondled in his bosom a little white kitten.
A. ragged old dog, which answers to the name of
"Joss," is an object of fond solicitude to every man
in the battali in, and very naturally so, for this chien au
regiment smelt powder at the Alma and Balaklava, and
felt it, to his sorrow, at Inkerman, where he was shot
through the leg. The faithful creature followed the
regiment through the whole campaign, and deserves a
medal of more precious metal
,than the base pewter sua-
peoded from his neck. The tenderness with which there
pet animals are treated proves that there is no moral
affinity between the heads and• the head-dresses of the
men, and that it may he said of the "Celdstrearns" as •
truly it was observed of that rugged philanthropist, Dr.
Johnson, that they have "nothing of the bear but the
skin."

After the troops had had time to rest themselves the
men fell into rank. The band of the Rifles, which was in
waiting for them at the station, struck up " Home,
sweet Horne !" and to that tender and pathetic melody
the Coldstreams marched into camp. The troops turned
out to cheer them as they passed, and the villagers, who
were scattered in various groups along the dusty road
from Farnborough to Aldershott, welcomed them en-
thusiastically.
The present representatives of this famous batlalion
are young, stalwart, sinewy men ; but it must not be
supposed that they are in the main, or even in a large
proportion, the identical Guardsmen who left London in
the dim dawn of a raw March morning in 1854. Of the
850 who followed the drum on that memorable occasion
only 112 have returned, and even these are 4o strangely
altered that, as Sheridan wjttily remarked of the change
in his own appearance, " their oldest creditors would
not know them." The regiment is at present 1,100
strong, and, though not a few of the men joined so re-
cently that they have never been in lotion, they are fine
soldierly: fellows, and it is not to be doubted that they
will worthily sustain the glory of their colours.

The Caogne Gazette states that it is in contemplation
to erect a monument to Handel at Hine, his native
town, and that a committee of the principal inhabitants
had already been formed for the purpose. The statue of
the celebrated composer is to be randy for the secular
fete of the anniversary of his death, which took place on
April 13, 1752.

[A.DvnitTisintENT ]—Holloway's Pills should be taken
for the Cure of Dropsy.—Females at a certain period of
life become liable to this complaint, which first makes
its appearance by the swelling of the feet, legs, and
hands, and thus making strong inroads on the constitu-
tion ; numbers of dropsiCal patients, even when their
cases were pronounced hopeless, have been cures by
taking Holloway's pills ; and this medicine having stood
the test of years as a certain remedy for this malady, no
one so afflicted should avoid giiing it a trial.— Sold by
