DEAL, Tuesday Morning,

Precisely to the minute, at half-past nine, her
Majesty, accompanied by the Prince- Consort, the
Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and
other members of the Royal Family, and attended
by a most brilliant staff, quitted the pavilion. Her
Majesty rode the same charger and wore the. same
half-military riding-dress as on Saturday. Prince
Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Cam-
bridge were all in full uniform.
The Royal cortege passed at once across the
heath to the Long Vatte.y, where
.the troops were
drawn up in one magnificent line of cavalry ex-
tendinc, upwards of a mile and a quarter in length.
The Heavy Brigade, consisting of the Ist Life
Guards, and 4th and sth Dragoon Guards, were on the
right. The centre was occupied by three troops of
Horse Artillery, with 18 guns. On the left were.
the Light Brigade of three regiments—the 10th,
11th, and 15th Hussars. As her Majesty came
upon the ground the whole force saluted, the bands
playing " God Save the Queen." Her Majesty
then minutely inspected each regiment, riding
along the front of the whole line—a ceremony
which occupied more than half an hour, after which
the cortege returned to the head of the Long
Valley, while the whole force rode past in troops at
slow time. This manoeuvre was beautifully executed
Each troop and battery rode by, with the steadiness
and evenness of a wall, and, once past the
Queen, wheeled round with the rapidity of light-
ning, and reformed in squadrons and brigades upon
the plain. Slight as these movements were, they
quite sufficed to show that "seeing" a review would
be out of the question. The dust was in solid
banks, which hid everything; and only at very rare
intervals, and after the troops had been some time
stationary, could the helmets of the Dragoons and
Life Guards be discerned above the cloud, glit-
tering in the broiling sun like points of fire.
The dust and the heat, which had reached a de•
gree of intensity rarely felt in England, made many
imagine that the review would not take place.
After a sort interval, however, her Majesty moved
to a hill overlooking the valley from the south,
and the troops were then rapidly man cevred, though
with what effect it is almost impossible to say, for
beyond one or two movements; when the troops par-
tially emerged from the clouds of hot sand in the
valley, everything was totally invisible to spectators
and performers alike. The first manoeuvre, and,
as it happened, the best and most impressive,
was plainly seen from the south side of
the valley, and this was one grand charge
of the entire force. The six regiments,
with the three troops of Artillery, formed a line
that completely filled the valley, which they tra-
versed from end to end with the speed of lightning.
and with a rush apparently as resistless as the
sweep of destiny. The light and heavy brigades
then apparently charged alternately, retiring
through the intervals of each other's squadrons
with astonishing rapidity. Two or three
times, also, the Horse Artillery cane into action,
with a rapidity and vigour of sire that, as coming
from only 18 guns, was something perfectly
astounding. The whole review lasted little more
than an hour, for 'b,Elhat time the sun was at-its
fiercest; and the heat on the heath was unendur-
able. A little before one her Majesty returned
to the Pavilion again and partook of lunch. Soon
after 3 o'clock the Queen and the whole of the
Royal family. left the camp in open pony carriages,
and, escorted by a detachment of Light Dragoons,
proceeded at once to the Farnborough station,
whence the party were conveyed per Royal train
to Gosport.
Throughout these Royal reviews it is but fair to
state that the railway arrangements of the South-
Western have been admirably well calculated for
the convenience of the public.

The will of the Right Hon. Gcorgiana Dorothy,
Countess of Carlisle,late of Castle Howard, in the

While the Royal apartmentS` in this ancient
palace are being fitted up for the reception of his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the exterior
improvements, which have been same time in pro-
gress, and which were expected to be completed
before the arrival, on their way north, of her
Majesty and the Royal family, who usually pass a
night here at least on their way to and from Bal-
moral, have been quickened and expedited, so that
if posSible they may be 'finished, or nearly so, on
the Prince's coiling.. Within the last few years
very extensive improvements have been made in the
external aspect of Holyrood. Formerly sur-
rounded with small houses and gardens, and
almost inaccessible either from the town
or the park, it now stands in the midst of
a somewhat spacious and neatly-enclosed gar-
den, and a carriage drive of ample breadth has
been formed all along its front, communicating on
the one side with the New Town, in the centre
with the Old Town, by way of Canongate, and on
the other extreme with the Queen's drive, the Royal
parks, and the hills of Arthur's Seat. Among the
still more recent. improvements carried out are the
renovation of the ancient mansion of Croft-an-righ,
situated in the north-east caner of the palace gar-
dens, occupied some time by the Regent Murray,
while his sister, the beautiful Mary Queen of Scots,
still held her brief sway over her turbulent nobles
and distracted kingdom ; the erection of elegant
lodges at Holyrood, Parson's-green, and St. Leon-
ard's, the outlets of the park ; the formatiou of a
fine sheet of water in the valley below St. Anthony's
Chapel, and skirting a portion of. the drive ; and
the-extension of the drive" from St. Leonard's to the
village of Duddingstone, opening up some very
picturesque ground, and a very useful public
thoroughfare. The principal improvements still in
progress are the erection of elegant iron gates at
the different entrances to the quadrangle in front
of the palace; time enclosure of another large piece
of ground within the Royal park, almost below
Salisbury crags ; and, in particular, the substitution
of a somewhat ungainly statue of her Majesty,
placed in front of the palace some years ago, by a
quaint but magnificent fountain taken from a dilapi-
dated but still, attractive model in the courtyard of
the ruinous palace of Linlithgow. This fountain,
which is Gothic in design, is chiefly remarkable
for its sculptural embellishments, the most char-
, acteristic of which are a series ' of figures de-
' scriptive of the costumes and pursuits of the
frequenters of the old Scottish Court. These figures,
which are 16 in number, and are from 18 to 20
inches in height, have been executed from models
furnished by Mr. Thomas, of London, who deserves
much credit for the lively manner in which he has
effected the:,e " restorations." For the supply of
the fountain, water will be obtained from the ad-
joining hills, and when its numerous jets are in full
play, It cannot fail to prove a welcome and beauti-
ful decoration to the Palace. The execution of the
work has been entrusted to Messrs. Beattie and
Sons, Edinburgh, under the superintendence of
Mr. Matheson, of the Board of Works. Its cost,
which is about £1,400, has been provided for by a
Parliamentary grant for the purpose. There are
various directions still in which the work of im-
provement may be carried out, but the progress
made within the last six years has already done
much to compensate for the neglect into which for
many years this interesting and picturesquely en-
vironed palace was allowed to fall.

BA CILELORS OF AGILITY.

When the discovery was made, recently, that
British soldiers in barracks, on home duty, and
protected by all the resources of a perfectly sup-
plied commissariat, die off at the rate of 22 per
1,000, military men were at their wit's end to
supply reasons for so monstrous a mortality. Many
singular hypotheses were broached, with a view of
reconciling all that is tiresome and odious in mili-
tary discipline with the laws of health ; ltt liberal
andintelligent soldiers declared that the want of
exercise and amusement for the men, the devouring
ennui and indolence, took all life and flavour from
their leisure hours as from their periods of duty.
lowered their spirits, and depressed their health.
This judiciOus view was especially supported by
Colonel Lindsay and in the analysis of the evi-
dence which was given in the Lancet at the time,
the necessity for active and out-door exercises and
games to fill the leisure hours was strongly indi-
cated. A recent distribution of prizes at Joinville-
le-Pont has revealed. to the public the existence of
a gymnastic military school, where such exercises
are cultivated. to the highest point, and with the
greatest advantage to the service. An eye-witness
reports that the solemnity was graced, by the

edsidatesfor distinction are all officers or
s, having already served, and the
object of
competition is the diploma 'of ' Monitor,'
or rather the degree of Bachelor of Agility,'
which is conferred upon the most dexterous in
manly sports, with the view of securing the ap-
pointment of gymnastic master in one or other of
the regiments of the French army. The institution.
of Joinville confines itself entirely to the ins'ame-
tion of gymnastics and other bodily exetcises,
whether imparting strength, skill or grace, e,ecord-
ing to the system here adopted. We are surprised
that every soldier in the French service
is not an Admirable Crichton. 7,:he per-
