THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. DE,fro OrNEtT, JCNE I.
We had a splendid day yesterday
Wise the celebration of
her Majesty's birthday. MountNva3 crowded.
Some thousands came from the surrounding
witness the review. There was a large numeer°oufuttr7 t°
present, the pensioners taking the right and the marines
the left, the 23d and 77th the centre; reaching from the
signal station on the west to the gate leading out on
Stonehouso Hill to the east, two deep. The firing was
not so good as on some former occasions; said to be in
consequence of one of the field pieces missing fire. On
the whole the strangers wore gratified. The only ships
that fired were the Impregnable, 78, flagship; St.
George, 120; and Bellerophon, 78; but the little battery
at Mount Edgcumbe, as usual, joined in with its 21 guns,
whichli
had a very pleasing effect.
Prince c,nry of the Netherlands, accompanied by
two tf his sui'e, honoured Deptford Dock and Victual-
ling Yards with a visit on Friday afternoon last, and
was 'attended in his inspection by Captain. Superin-
tendect tha Hon. R. S. Dunda,, C. 8., and the principal
