Lord Wolseley, and many Princes and Prinâ€" cesses were present on .the famous plains of Aldershot on Monday, to witâ€" ness a review of over 18,000 of the best troops in the Kingdom. This review is interpreted in London as a means of satisfying the Queen that her troops are ready for any emergency they muay be called to meet in the Transvaal or elsewhere. It is known now that the Queen returned from Balmoral castle mostly for the purpose of attending this review, and in view of the fact of her Majesty‘s natural reluctance to atâ€" tend such functions, the importance of this review is manifested. Not since the Queen‘s jubilee has a | more magnificent army corps passed before a European sovereign, and while 6,000 additional troops remained | in their barracks, the display affordâ€"| ed the Queen ample evidence of har‘ military resources. All the regiments which took part in the review were those which would answer the first | hurry call to arms for the Transvaal | or elsewhere, and as the various batâ€" talions swung past the Royal carriâ€"| ages their fitness evoked the heartiest 1 applause.

B., says:â€"At the trial of James Gover, | who killed Wm. McLean, his wife‘s ; betrayer, the jury on Duesday evening, | after an hour‘s deliberation, reported | that they had acquitted the accused on | the charge of murder, but found him guilty of manslaughter, The prison-‘| er‘s counsel appealed for clemency,| stating that Gover‘s wife, who was filled with remorse, had mortgaged her | home to furnish funds for the defence, | and hoped to win her husband‘s parâ€"| don.

Captzin of the Lake Huron Puts Some of the Crew Under Arrest, A despatch from Montreal, says:â€" There was a smallâ€"sized mutiny on board the steamship Lake Huron on Wednesday morning, and the polics had to be called out. It seems that the boatswain and about 12 of the crew on Puesday absented themâ€" selves from the ship without leave. On their return next morning they were put under arrest by the captain. This they resented, with the result that a free fight ensued, during the progress of which a few heads were bruised. No serious damage was done, however, and the arrival of the police soon brought quiet to the scene. as one of the finest reviews within their experience. Sir Wim. Yan Horne‘s New Farm at selkirk. ‘A flespatch from Montreal says:â€"Sir William Van Horne, in an interview on Wednesday night, referring to his new farm at Selkirk, said :â€" "My chief object in starting the Selkirk farm is to stimulate the cultuâ€" vaiion of the unoccupied lands in the vicinity and about Winnipeg by showâ€" inz what resu‘ts can be obtained from them.

In the meantime the Transâ€" vaal continues buying provisions and war material ; and it has arranged with the Netherlands Railway Company to have absolute control of the railway lines in the Orange Free State in the event of war."
