GRAND REVIEW BY HErli, MAJESTY, IN

HYDE PARK.

On Monday, one of the most splendid reviews held in the
neighbourhood of the.metropolis for many years, took place
in Hyde Park, before her Majesty and many other members
of the ,royal family, the foreign ambassadors and ministers
resident in this country, and the foreign ambassadors and
ministers extraordinary, with their respective suites.
The troops reviewed were—three troops of royal horse ar-
tillery, having two guns each ; Ist regiment of life guards,
the 2d ditto the royal horse guards (blue), the 10th royal
hussars, the 12th royal lancers, three batteries of field at-
. tillery, having four guns each ; the Ist and 3d battalion of
:the grenadier guards, the Ist and 21 battalion of the Scotch
fusiler guards, and the Ist and 2d battalion of the rifle

brigade._
lt being anticipated that the review would be attended by
a vast concourse of persons, every pracaution for the per-
serv-ation of-the public peace was adopted on Sunday by the
commissioners of the metropolitan police, who ordered 15
superintendents, 49 inspectors, 96 sergeants, 960 constables,
and 96 constables in private clothes, to assemble in Hyde
Park, near the reservoir, close to Grosvenor-gate, on Mon-,
day morning at nine o'clock, for the purpose of keeping the
ground, and the persons who acted as special constables on
the day of the coronation were likewise directed to assemble ,
at six o'clock, a.m., in Scotland yard, for the purpose of i
being appointed to a similar duty.
The appearance of the morning indicating the probability
of a fine day, as soon as the gates of Hyde Park were opened,i
numbers of men and women, laden with chairs, tables, forms,
benches, and planks, entered the park, and commenced
forming erections close to the carriage-road abutting on Park-
lane, for the purpose of persons viewing the splendid spectacle,
in which they were unmolested by the police, so long, as they
did not trench too far on the line of ground marked out for
the evolutions of the troops. At seven o'clock each of the
six principal entrances into Hyde Park (Kensington, Hyde
Park-corner, Stanhope, Grosvenor, Cumberland., and Vic-
toria gates) were taken charge of by a mounted. inspector, a
sergeant, and 10 constables of each of the K, L, N, R, T,
and. V divisions, who bad strict directions not to admit, until
after the troops were withdrawn, any carriages save those of
the royal family, and the members of the various embassies;
and also no horsemen, except royal personages, ambassadors,
foreign ministers resident, foreign ambassadors and minis-
ters extraordinary, with their respective suites in regular at-
tendance upon them ; and excepting also tier Majesty's
ministers, her Majesty's aides-de-camp in uniform, mounted
officers belonging to the troops reviewed, general officers in
uniform, commandants of corps in the united kingdom in
uniform ; an arrangement which, vit are happy to say, was
highly conducive to the preservation of order among the
vast assemblage.
Long before eight o'clock numbers of respectable people
began assembling in the park, and took up positions on the
various seats and standings, for which sums varyin from 6d
to 5s were demanded, and cheerfully paid ; and by Ioo'clock
not a place was to be procured-for either love or money.
The- troops began arriving as early as nine o'clock ; the de-
tachments of tile 4th or royal Irish-dragoons, and of the 20th
infantry, appointed to keep the ground, being the first to en-
ter the park. They were soon after followed by the royal ar-
tillery from Woolwich, the grenadier guards from Portman-
street barracks, the Scotch fusilier guards from St. George's
barracks, the 2d regiment of life guards from the Regent's-
park barracks, the 10th royal hussars from Hounslow, the
rifle brigade (billeted at Chelsea and Fulham), the royal
horse guards (blue) from Knightsbridge barracksohe 12th
royal lancers, (billeted at Kensington and Hammersmith,)
and the Ist life guards from Windsor. About the same time
General the Marquis of Anglesey, K.G., G.C.8., Col. Rogers,
Lieut.-Colonel Wbinyates, Lieut.-Colonel Cleaveland,..Lieu-
tenant-General Sir Charles Dabiac, K.C.8., and Major-
General D'Oyley, to whom had been deputed the command
oa the line, the royal artillery, the royal horse artillery, the
field batteries, the cavalry, and the foot guards and infantry,
entered the park from Grosvenor Gate, in full military cos-
tume, with their various orders and badges, and their horses
splendidly caparisoned, and attended by their respective
aides-de-camp and orderlies.

At 10 o'clock the troops formed in the following order

viz , in contiguous columns (the cavalry in close columns.
and the infantry at quarter distance) from the right of the
Serpentine River. The royal horse artillery, the household
cavalry brigade, the first battalion of the rifle brigade, the
brigade of foot guards, the second battalion of the rifle bri-
gade, the light cavalry, and the field batteries of artilleries.
At the same time the various divisions of police-formed
a square of large dimensions at the extremity of the ground
marked out for the evolutions of the military. They were
placed two paces from each other, and between every sixth
man was a private either of the 4th dragoons or the 20th foot,
patrols from which regiments also paraded up and down.
There was only one line of spectators formed instead of two,
as at previous reviews, which occasioned a great press on
those in the front ranks. Another cause of great complaint
was, the continued passing of persons dressed as, military
officers to and fro through the line, many of them returning
with ladies, whom they placed in front of the line, and there-
by created repeated disturbances.
Shortly after half-past ten o'clock, the Duke de Nemours
and Marshal Soult (Due de Dalmatia), attended by General
Count Sebastiani, General Count Colberg, Count de Bern,
Colonel Boyer, and a brilliant suite, entered the lines, from
Grosvenor-gate. They were immediately received by the
Duke of Wellington, Lord Hill, (commander of the forces),
Lord Combermere, Sir Charles Dalbiac, &c., and conducted
down the lines. At a quarter to 11 o'clock his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge, attired in a field-marshal's uni-
form; Prince George of Cambridge, dressed as a general
officer, accompanied by his Serene 'Highness the Duke of
Saxe Coburg, the Duke of Nassau, the Hereditary Prince
and Prince Maurice of N assau, Prince Prince Ernest of
. Hesse Phillipsthal, Prince of Leiningen, Prince Christian
of Holstein, Prince Furstenberg, Prince Kotchoubey, Prince
Frederick Schwartzenberg, Prince Von Putbus, Count Za-
wadowsky, Count Cruquemberg, Count d'Andilot, Count d'
Aertchot, Count de Katting, Count de Bonde, Gen. Count
Alton, Marquis Miraflores, Baron Bulow, Baron de Seydlitz,
&c., entered the lines from the same gate, attended by a num-
ber of grooms in the royal livery, and took up a position close
to the staff erected for the royal standard, directly opposite
Grosvenor-gate.
• Eleven o'clock was the hour appointed for the arrival of
her Majesty, at which time never was so brilliant a scene
.before witnessed in this country. The weather was most
propitious, the sun shining in all its lustre, and the park was
crowded by, it is computed, near 290,000 persons, attired in
splendid dresses, varying in hue with all the colours of the
rainbow, while the windows of all the houses in Park-lane,
and every other spot from which a sight of the review could
be obtained, were crowded by a brilliant assemblage of beauty
and fashion, the tops of the houses being also covered with
spectators. The Queen, who left Buckingham Palace with
her attendants in four of the royal private state carriages,
each drawn by two horses, attended by her aides-de-camp on
horseback,- and'escOrted by a troop of the first regiment of
life guards, did not enter the gates of Hyde Park until 20
minutes after 11 o'clock, when a salute of 21 guns from the
royal artillery announced her entrance. The staff, with the
royal and notain personages above mentioned, immediately
took op a position to the east side of the flagstaff, flanked on
the right by the carriages of the ambassadors, &c.; and at
25 minutes to 12 o'clock her-Majesty entered the lines, when
the royal standard was instantly hoisted, and the whole of
the troops presented arms and saluted. Her Majesty, who
looked remarkably well, was most• enthusiastically received.
After the staff and noble and illustrious foreigners had
paid their respects to her Majesty, the. Queen proceeded in
her carriage, followed by another carriage, containing her
ladies in waiting, down the lines, each body of.troops pre-
senting arms as she passed, and bands striking up the na-
tional anthem. She was attended by the whole of the splen-
did cortege which had awaited her arrival, and the tout en-
semble was most magnificent. On the return of her Majesty's
carriage to the royal standard tile troops commenced their
evolutions. They first marched past in ordinary time, after
which the artillery and cavalry formed in cloie columns upon
the right of the ground. On the 'Duke of Wellington ad-
vancing near the royal cortege at the head of his regiment,
(the grenadier guards,) his Grace was most enthusiastically
cheered. The foot guards and the rifle brigade then marched
past in quick time, and, having wheeled, formed into line.
Whilst the Infantry was thus forming, the artillery and ca-
valry trotted by, and, having passed, the cavalry formed aline
at 200 paces in the rear of the infantry, when the artillery
formed on the right and the 'field batteries on the left of the
line of infantry. After the infantry had formed their front
they commenced firing volleys by battalions from the right:
They Oren advanced, the two rifle battalions in column and
the foot guards in
,line. The line then retired in direct
echelon of battalions, from the left, and, when halted, formed
squares on the centre sub-divisions of battalions, a manoeuvre
which was much applauded.. The squares then fired, after
which they reformed columns and retired, forming in the
rear of the cavalry. The cavalry then advanced, and, having
attacked the infantry, retired by threes from the right of
squadrons, through the intervals of the infantry, and formed
lines. The infantry then returned to their original positions
by deploying round by the skirmishers, the artillery firing
from the flanks. The infantry then commmenced file firing
in a most masterly manner, which occupied 11 minutes, and
the firing having ceased, both lines then advanced in parade
order, and saluted. The band of the grenadier guards then
struck up " Got) save the (been," and precisely at two o'clock
the review being ended, her Majesty quitted the ground, fol-
lowed by her staff, and the brilliant cortege; under a salute of
21 guns. The demonstrations of loyalty and attachment
evinced by the crowd towards the Queen were, if it were pos-
sible, more fervent on her departure than on her entrance.
She was loudly cheered during her progress through the park,
as were also the Doc de Nemours and Marshal Soult.
Fully an hour elapsed before the park was in any degree
clear of the vast assemblage, or the various bodies of troops
had taken their departure. The 10th royal husears, headed
by their colonel, the Marquis of Londonderry, on leaving,
passed down Park-lane, and on arriving at Holdernesse
House, the residence of the noble marquis, the hand turned
off, and entering the opposite garden, playid,"during the pub-
lic breakfast given by his lordship, numerous favourite airs.
On the Duke of Wellington's leaving, his carriage being un-
able to get up, his grace, leaning on the arm of the Earl of
Munster,.proceeded up I'ark-lane, through Stanhope-gate,
and down Hyde Park, to his residence, followed by hundreds
of respectable persons, by_whorn he was loudly cheered, and
who vied with each other in shaking bonds with the " Hero
of Waterloo." His grace looked remarkably well, but much
fatigued. Another public breakfast was likewise given by the
Marquis of.Breadalbane, in Park-lane.
We regret to state that several accidents, some of them of
a serious nature, occurred during the morning, by persons
falling from trees, &e.—Mo.ining Herald.
