LONDON, March 80. 1874.
Quite genteei and orderly crowd lett Padding
ton station TO go down to windsor this morning,
Tor the purpose OF Witnessing the review. On
Saturday the boat mob had IL all their own
way-there were free fights at Waterloo and most
OF the other metropolitan and southwestern sta
lions; pickpockets were ION the rampage" and
the crush was tremendous Next Monday, being
Easter Monday, all Londoners who can muster a
few shillings win make dash for temporary
visit to the seaside, and mob law will be pre-
dominant. But partly on account OF these
past and future attractions, and partly ne
cause the railway fares were rather high
and no third class passengers were taken,
the gathering at Paddington this morning was
decidedly select Military men, both old and
young, were there in large numbcrs but the
members OF the Household Brigade. or troops spe-
clauy employed in escort duty on the queen, were
somewhat sad and out OF spirits, owing to the
death OF young Lord Rossmore, lieutenant OF
the Second Lite Guards, who was thrown from his
horse at the last Windsor steeplechases, and after
lingering Tor lew days in great agony, died on
Saturday. The morning partook Of the qualities
OF the present and OF the coming month, genial
sun being occasionally hidden behind passing
rain cloud, while southwestery breeze
came sweeping over the fiat open coun-
try proving that March, in his last days,
yet possessed the lion-like qualities which
distinguished his advent. One would think
that the good people or Windsor, to whom royal.
ties and celebrities are of daily occurrence, would
have enough OF sightseeing; but there they were,
crammng the station, watching ior the arrival OF
distinguished visitors, while the hackmen in the
yard outside attempted unheard OF extortion in
their charges for conveying you over the mile and
half which separates the station from the review
ground.
AT WINDSOR.
Most Americans who visit England make pill
grimage TO Windsor. and will bear me out in saying
That the Long Walk the name for the
straight drive OF three miles from the
Castle gates to the equestrian statue which
cuts the horizon, bordered either side
with the greenest turf, and with avenues
OF wide spreading OAKS and elms, is very lovely.
Even now, though the trees have only scarcely be-
gun TO bud, there is something grand and majestic
IN its sweep, and, with the road lined either side
by wen dressed people awaiting the Queens COM
ing, the Park mad quite lively appearance. The
review was to be held on wide open space or
turf lying between the Long Walk and portion OF
the Park known as Queen Anne's Ride. and al
ready the carbineers 1.-THE regiment to Which

The ground Tree from the intrusion of the populace.
The saluting point and centre OF observation was
an old oak tree, opposite to which had been
erected fagstan, bearing the royal standard of
England, now hurled ana dropping. No stands or
tribunes mad been erected, but on either side Of

subdivided had been enclosed with hurdles. That

press, the royal household, the students OF Eton

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
Ir the little three-cornered pen allotted to the
press l find some colleagues who had been away as
special correspondents with the Ashantee exped
tOn, and who are not looking any the better from
their enforced acquaintance with the Gold Coast
climate. Mr.. H. NJ. Stanley is not there. He Is
not very well and he is very busy with his book ;
but find Mr.. George Hentz, OF the Standard. and
Mr.. Frederick Boyle, OF the Dailv telegraph. Close
behind us is drawn up row OF carriages, one
Of which sits the Duke of Westminster, probably
the richest peer In England. with his Duchess
she was Lady Constance Grosvenor, daughter
Of the lovely Duchess OF Sutherland
and is herself q remarkably handsome Woman
and some OF the younger members Of their family.
There, too. on horseback, winding his way in and
out among the crowd is Lord Otho Fitzgerald
who was the Comptroller OF the Queens House
hold In Mr.. GladstOne's Ministry and also, splen-
didly mounted, Is the new Master OF the Buck
hounds, LORD Hardwlcke. This immense man.
with the handsome face and the gray beard, who
though ON &c IT, reaches to the tops Of most of the
carriages, is Mr. Ward Hunt, the First Lord of the
Admiralty; and close after him follows q very
homely man with red whiskers, Lord Cardwell,
who, as late Secretary OF War. was responsible for
the Ashantee expedition.
PREPARATIONS.
Meanwhile there is plenty to observe in the
preparations being carried on in the open space in
front OF Us and In the actors concerned in them.
Chief Of these is, OF course, Sir Garnet Wolseley
lean, wiry looking man, mounted on a waite Arab.
He has a shaved face and a griZZled mustache,
and is altogether more war worn and older look
ing than one would have imagined from his pub
lished portraits. BY his side ride men with whose
names the events OF the last fe days have made
rs familiar. He in the Hussar Uniform IS Baker, OF
the Eighteenth, and next to him Is Baker Russell.
Glover is here and thSre are loud lamentations
and some indignation at his absence. That man on
loot is a warrior and mighty man Of valor, the
chief OF the stan, Sir Archibald Alison, OF the
well known historian. He Is on foot from neces-
sity; he lost one arm In the Crtmea, and his re-
manning hand is just now SO afflicted by a pain.
