THE SUN.
LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1860.

THE ROYAL REVIEW.

The Royal Volunteer Review this day has set
London on the move. The Strand has presented a
moving mass for the last three or four hours—and
as none but the Brave deserve the Fair—fair sun-
shiny weather has come on to shed its splendour
on this auspicious day. The sight is truly cheering
in a national point of view. The long, close-serried
battalions marching on to the enlivening sounds of
the respective bands is altogether a very soul-stirring
display. The men themselves walk with a truly
patriotic step of pride and self-reliance to the—

" Stormy music of the drum."

Column after column keeps pouring along from
the South over Waterloo Bridge, and from the
East in long array. We cannot help wishing that
NAPOLEON 111. were here to witness how true
British Pluck has roused the many thou-
sands that now pour along the Strand to
the cheers and welcome looks of the assembled
multitudes that crowd the streets in rapturous joy.
The Queen may well be proud of the sight re-
served for her this afternoon in Hyde Park on this
truly National occasion. It is a grand display of
patriotic and spontaneous fervour such as no coun-
try on earth has ever witnessed nor could match
in all their panoply of slavish pride.

A letter from a well-informed writer in Sicily
gives us a clearer conception than we have had be-
fore of the causes of the vast moral superiority of
GARIBALDI'S soldiers to those of the King of
NAPLES. His success seems almost miraculous ;
it reads more like some of the exploits of the old
Hebrew judges than of a general of modern times.
Yet the main facts are beyond doubt. Five and
twenty thousand Royal troops, well equipped with
the best modern implements of war, well supported
by artillery, and amply supplied with ammunition,
have had to capitulate to a little band r.ot exceeding
about half as many hundreds as there were thou-
sands against them. Then they are getting on
board as fast as they can, and but too glad to get
out of the reach of the bayonets of the men in red
shirts.

Bat what was the larger army composed of ?

Of men without
any military traditions or mili- '
tart'
spirit--men whose chief enthusiasm was
for plunder—who whenever they have been needed
for action,havei,,,„ stimulated by their officers, by
the single inducement of plunder. The Neapolitan
soldiery were, indeed,ore formidable to the sub-
jects of the KING than o any one else. Their
object always was, with thee ready

They had become f;oldiers by conscription merely ;
they had no ardou r, like the French, for military
glory ; they had 1541 en duly drilled by their pious
KING in morning and evening prayers, in con-
fession, and masses, and it was hoped, perhaps,
that this would do for them what religion did for
the old Puritan is and Covenanters. If the old
KING really fane;ed so, had he now been living he
would have seen pie difference between a faith and
