kest uniforms in the Park were as distinctly'
seen as the coloured flags that marked the ground.
Her Majesty left the ground at 6 o'clock, in the
same order as she arrived, but some time elapsed
ie : • e eublic could get clear of the enclosures,.
The difficulty . _ etting a large body of troops out
of the Park has almost become a military axiom,
but the difficulty is not insuperable. The volunteer
officers solved the problem without confusion, ex-
cept a little crushing at the gates ; but the crush-
ing was more among the spectators than the troops.
While the first companies were passing her Ma-
jesty, five singularly-costumed figures appeared in
the centre gallery " clothed in white smite, mys-'
stic, wonderful," and hardly to be distinguished
from the ladies, though their beards forbad us to
interpret their garb as that of the fair sex. They
were the Moorish Ambassador and his suite ; two
wore turbans and the-others the white burnous of
which we heard so much during the recent Spanish
campaign. The capacious hoods nearly hid their
faces, and the drapery reached to the heels. They
came late and found no vacant places; her Majesty
observed their difficulty, and sent au officer to re-

quest the ladies to give the floors a front seat if
possible. The white-robed figures advanced a step
or two, saw the case was hopeless, shook their
heads, and politely retired. They were taken on
to the open ground, and stood through the rest of
the review, not far from the royal carriage; a naval
officer, who acted as interpreter, conversed with
them, and was very gravely listened to. It is to be
hoped he made matters clear to the Moslem mind ;
but their next despatch to the Emperor would be
worth reading ; it would probably resemble the
chapter in " Eothen" in which the travelling Briton
endeavours to explain to the Pasha the status of a
deputy-lieutenant, and the meaning of a Speech
from the Throne.

Grand as the martial display was, it is only by re-

collecting the apathy of former years, and the total_
estrangement of the middle classes of England from
all which pertains to a military organisation that
we can estimate the real strength and significance
of the movement. The amount of exertion re-
quired to bring these 20,000 men into the park at a
fixed hour must have been immense; nor is the
A:acrifice in time, labour, and actual cost a trifling
one. It can only be roughly estimated. Great as
the number seemed on the field, it was only a frac-
tion of the whole body. The preparations for the
transport to London must have begun at the distant
points on tile previous day. Through the whole of
Friday night and in the early dawn and during
the morning of Saturday the railway trains were
starting from the princial cities and arriving at
the London stations. The review itself was only a
part of the day's display', and not the most diffi-
cult. Many of the corps must have been under arms
and on the route nearly the whole of the previous
night, and most of them returned oil Saturday even-
ing. In London the course of business had been un-
settled for two days previously, and on Saturday
was almost suspended. Factories, banks, offices, the
Inns of Court, all sent their representatives to the
ranks. The general public, as if by agreement, made
the occasion a national holiday. An attempt to cal-
culate the numbers of the population that London
sent to Hyde-park, and to every point, spot, and
elevation from which the park can be seen, would
be utterly vain. There was a separate gathering in
the vicinity of Buckingham Palace to see some of
the corps arrive, and the Royal cortege depart, that
was of itself a spectacle.
Throughout the day the people displayed the live-

liest and most sympathsing interest in the appear-
ance and movements of the Volunteers. If the body
was a metropolitan corps a large portion of the
crowd pressed forward to discover and recognise
their friends in the ranks, or to examine and com-
pare the merits of the different companies into which
it was divided ; while, if it was a regiment from the
country, it was received with good-natured com-
ments upon the distance which it had travelled, and
the hard work and fatigue which its members had
to perform and undergo before they returned to
their homes.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.

The Royal Mail steamship Arabia, which touched
at Queenstown yesterday, arrived in the Mersey this
afternoon.

On the 14th inst., at 7 30 a.m., the Arabia passed
the loyal Mail steamer Niagara, en route for
Boston ; on the 19th, at 12 30 p.m., in lat. 50 54
N., long. 3312 W, the screw steamship Kangaroo,
bound west; on the 20th, in lat. 51 7 N., long.
26 W., the English ship John Clemins, bound east ;
and on the 21st, in lat. 52 N., long. 18 W., the
English ship Thetis, bound east; and, in long. 16
W., the bark Evangeline, bound cast.
The reported assassination of the Emperor of
Japan was discredited at New York ; and, as the
Chinese advices received in England are consider-
ably later than those received via California, an-
nouncing a peace, the probability is that both
statements are untrue.

The proceedings in Congress are without interest.
Mr. Andrews, the Consul-General for the British
province, had memorialised Congress, asking for
the enlargement and perfecting of the Reciprocity
Treaty.
Two ships had been chartered to convey the cap-
tured negroes at Key West to Liberia. The exact
number of negroes at Key West was 1,350, 80
having died since their first arrival. Government
pays for each of these vessels 10,000 dols. or 12,000
dols., and the Colonization Society gets 50 dols. per
head for exportation, the latter also being under
obligations to supply clothing at Key West and on
the Africaß coast.

Advices from Ruatan to the 21st ult. report that
Mr. Price, the Governor of the Bay Islands, had
arrived there and announced the separation of the
island from the British Crown.

The following are the "guarantees required from
the Government of Honduras for the purpose of
perpetuating the civil and religious liberty of the
inhabitants of the Bay Islands, and for the purpose
of transmitting the same unimpaired to their pos-
terity":—
" Art. 1. The ratification of all the titles to lands we now

posses..
" 2. The right to acquire more lands by purchase or other
legal method.
"3. The form of grants and transfers to be preserved as
at present, substituting instead of the present etyle the name
or style of the existing authority.
"4. The price of land and mode of assignment to remain
as at present, until altered by an Assembly chosen by tho
inhabitants of the islands.

" The right to choose representatives to regulate the
local law' of the islands.
" G. That no tax or loan shall be levied on the islands or
the harbours thereof without the consent of the inhabitants.
"7. That no troops shall be quartered on the islands
without the consent of the inhabitants.
" 8. Freedom from forced military service for ourselves
and the labourers in our employ.
"9. The use of the English language in the courts and
in the public records of the islands.
" 10. Freedom of ingress and egress without a syatem of

passports.
" 11. The free enjoyment of religious worship according
to the dictates of our own consciences.
" 12. That the laws and customs prevailing in the islands
while under British jurisdiction shall remain in force until
altered by the inhabitants.
" 13. That we shall be governed b resident yofficers of
our own choosing, and have the right of public mass meet-
ings to discuss our real or supposed grievances."
The report of Uraga's defeat by Woll was discre-
dited. In Durango the Liberal forces had been suc-
cessful. At San Blas the English man-of-war there
had landed 400 men for the protection of British
interests. Advices from Tampico to the 4th inst.
report that Uraga, with 9,000 men, had captured
Guadalajara, but the place was afterwards retaken
by Woll, who routed the Liberals. Uraga lost
both legs.

At Ilavannah, on the Bth, sugar was active,
middling and lower grades firm ; finer qualities
lower. Molasses dull. Exchange on London, 121
to 131, premium. Another American slaver, with
400 negroes on board, has been captured and sent
to Key West.
It is reported from Panama that four French
men-of-war had arrived in Callao ; that in Guaya-
quil General Franco was preparing to attack Flores,
and had retaken Massabi, and that forced loans
were frequent; also that in Ecuador Gen. Ayarza,
having been detected plotting against the Govern-
ment, was banished.

At New York on the 11th sterling
exchange was
at 109, 60 days. quoted
