seven brigands under the lead of one
Spanos, who, by his daring acts and
adroitly-laid plaEs, holds the destiny
of the country ia his hands. ALI at
tempts to capture or drive them from

are so employed two hundred and
eighty-three men, of ages varying

The grand military review took
place at Brighton in accordance with
the programme previously announced.
An immense crowd witnessed the ma
neuvers, which we're conducted on a
large scale and were rendered more
than usually interesting by the re.
hearsal of the battle Of Dorking. The
troops in the field, including some
twenty thousand volunteers, were di-
vided into two armies, one Of inva-
sion and the other of defense. The
enemy was supposed to have effected
a landing In ShOreham Harbor. The
movement commenced with an at
tack on the village, and was captured
after an obstinate resistance. The in
vaders then advanced on Brighton,
and after repulsing that bodyof troops
took up a defensive position. The
army of defense being largely REIN
took the offensive under Gene
raj HarsfOrd and attacked the invaders
with success, although the latter broke

created great confusion for a while. |

Iides having been impartially beaten, /
The mock fight was succeeded by a
march, which was not satisfactory,
The review on the whole is considered
failure. The weather was fine, al.

md the air strong and bracing. The
rains took down large numbers of
p~ectators from London.
