HER MAJESTY AT ALDERSHOTT.  ------- OW The fishing in Lochfine is interrupted by 611,0 is pleasant feeling prevailing between the drift net .fit-'ether upper Lochfine and the trawlers from Tarbert and 89, stations down the loch. It is reported that the latter,_ed termined to enforce trawling in the upper loch, have 817. themselves with muskets, and that shots have ueen farc  The manceuvres incident to repelling the attack of an enemy advancing upon London by the Farr ham-road were renewed at camp yesterday morning. Her Majesty, accompanied and attended as on the previous day, quitted the Pavilion at 11 o'clock, and as soon as the Royal cortege had taken up its position at the centre the evolutions, such as they were, commenced. The actual review may be told in a few words. The lovers of mere fire and stunk° were to a certain extent disappointed, yet as' picturesque spectacle the whole affair was OM?' rable. The heights of Hungry-hill on tit Air southern aspect are broken into knolls, weeuv-4, ravines,. hedgerows, and orchards, in the moat pleasing variety ; the effect, therefore, when. the army advanced, when the orchards inclosures were wrapped in smoke, and the glen; filled with brilliant masses of troops, was beautitil' beyond description. The defence of the lines began in the usual man" n. er, with a sharp, sputtering fire from the rifle in advance, which was soon supported by a hea cannonade.... The rapid crackling fusilade from. t invincible sharpshooters, who were entirely produce, by trees, showed the admirable defensive cap ahll ties of the .post, but it was not until the hex, ettns came into play that the really formine 0 naturer. of the position was fully manifested. Frond. 00. different points on the steepest Iveights,,tro heights apparently inaccessible to cannon, v"Tia muzzles only just peered over the brows of the hier.' came broad red streaks of flame aud stunning re,ot berations which almost shook the earth. Not a krill had been overlooked, not a single avenue from whdled the enemy could approach was left ungner• ht or free from a murderous cross fire of six or ogee pieces of ordnance. As the cannonade grew TT°. general and the enemy was supposed to have "e ric loped all his forces the troops lined the breastvje.he in dense masses, and now from all points along __LA line arose one of the most tremendous and sustanl,`; rolls of musketry and cannon that had ever NY positowii the echoes of Aldershott. The whole seemed wrapped in a dense cloud, amid which °was th.e. great spurts of flame from the artillery, for visible. This terrific demonstration continneuray, nearly half an hour, by which time the cable of , of being merely mortals after all, and cap annihilation, were supposed to have had enel!g. aoethis feu d'enfer. The troops closed up, and 1.11 th e tions of four poured through the openings inbat. breastwork in dense bright streams, while .0.0 in teries of artillery scrambled down the heishteairy, pursuit in the best way they could. Tha ca v the and Horse Artillery made a rapid movelnent en 00 right, and the advance along the whe:ie line hec,Aeop general. The whole mass poured_ down the guns s. lopes in front of the position (excepting the.„goein the batteries, which remain.ea to cover the -,,-oas ment), the Riflemen were thrown out, and thew -dor and orchards began to echo like distant thliet.o2o under the continual fire. For some slier', e pursuit of the flying foe was thus naed, tamed, after which a general halt was soll",oe. and some. of the regiments piled arms. A" -oil r. ied their provisions and water for the (110 halt it was at first generally imagined that the rewas .called to allow the men to dine heierierval newing the pursuit. However, after an of. about an hour, which was employed toyed bald the je. sty and the Prince Consort in riding ale,'" 01 iine and inspecting the work, the " asseinb,i'lantior sounded, and, not a little to the surprise and bri" ance of the public who had come too late, ea cl- at Bade .made the best of its way back to calnP the few minutes before one o'clock. Contrary te,,s oo eneral custom on these occasions, there nier marching past, and so the review terminated.; after Majesty at once returned to the Pavilion, anu„ • .her 7 partaking of lunch quitted camp, attended v;,1300 usual escort. The Royal train was Dtten at the Farnborough station, and started wit Majesty for Southampton at 4 o'clock. h il. lt is mere justice to those intrusted with Lens:lrael way arrangements to say that both on Ni t° asand Tuesday they gave every satisfaction unusual influx of visitors.
