Military Displays In England.
The Queen reviewed the Crimean regiments
at Aldershot on the 18th instant, brilliant
company being with her. immediately in the
front Of the line the officers of each regiment
with "A certain number of privates, selected
from the Oldest and most gallant men-of each
regiment, formed in square, from the upper
centre Of which her Majesty addressed them in
the following words:
"Olhcers, non-commissoned officers and
soldiers: wish personally to convey through
you, to the regiments assembled here this day,
my hearty welcome on your return to England
in health and full efficiency. Say to them that
have watched anxiously over the difficulties
and hardships which they have so nobly borne,
that ! have mourned with deep sorrow for the
brave men who have fallen for their country
and that have felt proud for that valor which,
with their gallant allies, they have displayed on
every field. / thank God that your dangers
are over, whilst the glory of your deeds re-
main. But / know that, should your services

Everything about this review was perfect
except the most essential--the weather. Weep
ing skies play sad havoc with fine plumage and
scarlet uniforms, and as Field Marshal Prince
Albert rode about the ground attended by the
Duke Of Cambridge and brilliant staff,
dyeached to the skin, the reader of the narrative
cannot avoid arriving in his mind at the con-
clusion that this playing at soldiers under
circumstances so untavorable and without any
nececessity, was a little ridiculous. In gal.
lantry to the sex of the British sovereigns,
close carriage was provided, which protected
her from the inclemency of the weather but
when the rain for a short time ceased to patter
she stood up bravely in the vehicle--now
thrown open-and addressed the soldiers pres
ent in a speech la Napoleon.
The entry of the Guards into London, on
the 9th, was a grand affair, and drew an i'm
mense crowd into the streets to witness it.
The Queen welcomed them from the balcony
of Buckingham Palace. Afterwards she re.
viewed them in Hyde Park.
The PaImerston Administration.
LONDON, Saturday, July II. The Palmer
ston administration have recovered from their
defeat of yesterday morning and the head of
that Cabinet still retains his position as the
leader of the House of Commons. Nor need
we add that Government, throughout the whole
of yesterday, never contemplated the necessity
of resignation so long as their defeated bill was
supported by Lord Derby aud the member for
Bucks We know the names Of ministers, how
ever who would have thrown up Office at once
in the face of humiliation 80 complete. for
the bill which the Commons refused to sane
ton was Cabinet measure and one OF such
serious kind as to involve change in the con-
stitution Of Parliament and the prerogative of
the Sovereign.

of the western governments of Russia, to ind-
