The various receptions accorded TO the
different contingents Of the British army on
their return from Egypt have been some
what stoo much Of . muchnsss," and the
Royal Review, held In St. James Park .
week ago, was = fitting winding up OF the |
uhsle affair. Whoever arranged the show |
did good s.rske Of political wsrk for the
Government. The reasons for going TO war |
ut oil are rather obscure, but by judicious |
parading Of the victorious army John Bull 10 |
nattered with his show Of military power, |
and 10 kept In good humor ready for the pre- |
ssntation or the little bill.
The review itself was = success IN every |
way, the various detachment Of troops pre-
ssnting . splendid spread Of color, and
flashing helmets, and 1t really seemed pity
that such Hue looking fellows should be en-
plsyed on such poor piece Of work. Sir
Garnet Wolselsy aud the Duke Of Con-
naught were the heroes Of the day, and Sir
Evelyn Wood and other familiar faces were
quf-kiy recognized by the crowd, and came
In for good share Of public applause.

"Not another cent of my money shall these
English hackers have" was the ejaculation
Of Mr.. Walton, the great "plunger," when he
lost some thousands at the Derby races last

Monday next will be another royal day for
| city dignIl aries. The Queen will enter the
city In state and open the new law courts
in the Strand. They consist of an immense
pile Of buildings designed by the late Mr.
Street, and will shortly be occupied by the
various legal iuminaries now shining At
Westminster.

tention to the cattle trade Of the United

couple Of inches above the knee, exposing
their lower limbs bare. The Bedouins were
somewhat puzzled at this sort Of dress, and

diers. They also noticed that the soldiers

added 10 their wond.rment, for the British
harem turned ou, ith rifle and bayonet, and
