THE LATE VOLUNTEER REVIEW 421

PORTSMOUTH.

The official reports on this review are published'
Lieut.-General Sir George Buller, in his report,
describes the amount of force and the character of
the manceuvres of the day. He praises the manner
in which they were done, and says
" Major-General the lion. James Lindsay, In-
spector General of the Reserve Forces, was
indefa-
tigable in all the arrangements previous to and o 0
the day of the review, assisted, too, by his activeand efficient staff officers, and I may add that the
appointment of this officer will be of essential value_
in increasing the general efficiency of the volunteer
corps.
" As a general observation, in conclusion, 1 may
state, although with some exceptions, that the 10-
struction drill, the practice of the simple deploy
ments, the oblique and direct echelon movement'
the observance of strict silence during movement,'
and the cessation of fire when ordered are want,in„T
and not sufficiently considered, and without Wet,,v
no volunteer force would be of much avail, if r.;
quired to take its place in the field with regece
troops. The simple rules of skirmishing, tool toy
long advantage of cover, and not remaining 11":4,
long in it, should be inculcated, for without ti't
knowledge generally no lesson is taught or learn
by the assembly of large bodies for sham fights. 1,0
" I beg to bring also under the notice of '0
royal highness the efficient assistance rendered,°
this occasion by the mayor and civil authorit3e3
and which insured the success of the day."
The Duke of Cambridge and Sir John Pakil!,,;
ton both expressed complete satisfaction with "
report.

An attempt has been made, says the Daily Pie:
graph, to excite sectarian animosity by the announcoaiell
that the official invitation forwarded to Cardinal cellollo
from the Castle, on the occasion of the Prince of 'Wifj
e%
visit, was addressed by the Premier's directions to ~)0
Excellency the Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin. 11,,10f
sting of the appellation resided in the two little wordS
Dublin." No doubt, if the impotent Ecclesiastical Titri.,
Bill had ever been anything but a dead letter, an Lig.1.511
Minister could not have described the Cardinal as Arc:
bishop of Dublin. But that ill-advised act has long D.':
fallen into disuse, and is now about to be formally'
scinded. Under these circumstances, the Record it" €,e4
would be puzzled how to describe the Primate of the if' t
Catholic Church in terms which would not be inconsi°tijelle
with the assumption that in these realms the exists n 9
of the Papacy is not officially recognised. Styled by
name, a cardinal would be offensive to the " No PcP,eltil
party ; and even if the prelate had been addressed tit
the curt simplicity of a Quaker's letter, the Pr°t...„eSieso
Electoral Union would still have been indignant uto
the superscription had been couched in such terms leo
render the invitation an insult and not a compliment lest
real head and front of the offending is that the Cart`,lo,
sat as an honoured guest at the Prince of Wales's
The recognition thus given was as gracious as it
liette,
complete. On account of some question of okief:n eo
Cardinal Cullen had, down to the occasion of the Pr' CveC
visit, never dined at the Castle. The difficulty/ Neliateeot
it may have have been, has now been suecessfulli;lie
over, and both at the conversazione of the Royal P the
Society and at the visit to the Hospital °' 01,00
Mater Misericordite, his eminence wore the rod cr to
-
of State belonging to his office. Our cIL
gret with regard to the courtesies shown recu
to the dignitaries of the Irish Catholic Char-ti,el
not that they have been shown at all, but that tent
were not shown long ago. It is a significant c °lot in
upon the temper in which we have ruled Ireland, t - of
this present year of grace a mere formal intercha7od
civilities between the representatives of the Orovi oistor
the h'ghest authorities of the national Church of th cola'
kingdom should b 3 deemed matter for discussion t'note/
ment of any kind. Heretofore the honours, 01°1 500°a
and dignities of ecclesiastical life have been giveni
the Channel to the purposes of a creed held 01;3'
0
small minority, and viewed with disfavour by .tv ont:
majority ; while the priests of the popular religl;tiVsi
persecuted and proscribed, are still compelled t°all thl
on the charity of their flocks, still excluded frolo
rizes offered by the State to those who embracJ a 1100
career. Persons unacquainted wilt Ireland catto,,tLO:
judge to what an extent this social ostracism of tiro AoL:
