BRITAIN'S REALM.
The Grand Military Review at
WtRdsOr-Cardinal Manning TO the
Irish Farm LabOrers.

LONDON, July 9.-The weather in London
was very bright and fine, and not too hot
for the grand review of volunteers by the
Queen in the Great Park at Windsor. The
occasion was observed as almost complete
holiday. Utmost interest was felt in the
review by all classes, and one hundred
thousand spectators went to Win dsor tC-
daV. The number of volunteers partici-
pating is $1,000, much the largest ever hith-
erto assembled. The review was considered
as an experiment to test the possibility of
a rapid concentration Of volunteer troops,
of whom there are about 200 600 iu the
island of Great Britain. Two lines of rail-
way, the Great Western and South western,
had to do all the transportation from Lon
don. The troops fell into line at three
O'Clock p. m. The Queen left the
castle at FIVE o'clock under a ROYAL
salute, and proceeded to the Great
Park, accompanied by the Princes aud
Princess and Duke of Cambridge, Com
mander-in. chief Generals Sir Garnet Wolse-
ley and Sir Frederick Roberts and a brilli-
ant staff. The march was finished about 8
O'Clock In the evening, when the troops
marched to the railway station aud departed
forth with. The Russian General Skobeloff
turned his thanks for the invitation, ut
said he must leave Paris on Saturday for
Russia to visit, on the 18th inst, the grave
of his mother, the Countess Skobeloff, who
wss murdered in Roumalia.
There was an enormous number of spec
tatOrs at Windsor to-day to witness the re-
view by the Queen of the volunteer troops.

brilliant. 1t is believed that 90 900 troops
participated. No contretemps occurred.
The progress OF the land bill, although
favorable, is not such as to justify Mr..
Gladstone's hope that Parliament will rise
on the 6th Of August. Several clauses Of
the bill have been postponed, so that not
quite half have yet been acted on.
After the entire fifty clauses
have been considered the postponed
C 'auses will be taken up. Then the govern
ment's new clauses and then private mem
bers' new clauses. The government intends
to ask urgency for the supply when the land
bill has passed the committee and the debate
on the Transvsal is finished, provided the
Conservative members consent to support
the proposal, which they probably will do
rather than have the session of Parliament
prolonged.
LONDON, July 10.-Cardinal Manning last
evening received the deputaion of Irish
farm laborers, which had been received on
the previous dav by Mr.. Forster, Chief SecrC-
tsry for Ireland. Cardinal Manning said
that the Land League, when operating
within the limits of law, human and
divine, always had his sympathy. He
always regarded it as a legitimate
organization, and so long as 1t keeps within
the law, 1t should never have a word of dis
couragement from him, and he prayed that
It might succeed. He spoke in high praise
Of the recent speech of the Archbishop of
Cashel, and said he thought that under
the guidance of the faithful Bishops and
clergy of Ireland the League would be
directed into the safe path. The condition
OF the laborers, he said, had his earnest
sympathy, but the land bill cannot effectu-
ally deal with the question. 1t was disap-
pointing that the laborers are not more
closely identified with 1t, but the bill is so
long, unwieldly and complicated that it
would be impossible to introduce so awk-
ward a subject as the Irish laborers. 1t
was better for them that the
subject be reserved for the future A
Royal commission ought to be appointed to
take evidence solely on the condition of the
laborers. The appointment Of such COM
mission should be sought at the next ses-
zion of Parliament, but a sanitary commits
sion ought to be provided for by the land
bill, which could compel those possessing
an interest In land to provide proper
dwellings for laborers."
