DEPARTURE OF THE GUARDS FOR EGYPT.

Onr London Correspondent's Description of the Scene.

Last Saturday morning broke cold and oheeriess, a damp fog enveloped Westmin- ( ster in its folds, and an icy east wind pene- j trated' every nook and cranning of the ! places of shelter along the embankment. Nevertheless London was early awako. At j nine o'olock the Scots Guards- dearly be- ; loved of every true Cockney—were to em- . bark at Westminster Bridge, en route to J "smash the Mahdi,"and put things to rights j in the Soudan, and from tho Prince of Wales down to the humblest coster of Clare Market, all who could wore anxious to see tho last of the soldiers, and bid them heartily " God speed." What a scene it was ! Myself and some friends took up our station in the St. Stephen's Club (opposite tho Houses of Parliament), which commands views alike of the pier at Westminster and the ap proach from Groat Georgo street. At half past 8, when, with considerable difficulty, our hansom reached the Club door, a dense mob, composed in tho main of the "rough" element, stretched every way as far as tho eye could reach— lamp-posts, the embankment walls and railing, the gates of PalacoYard, Cleopatra's Needle, and every other point of vantage, had long ago been swarmed by " Tampers," and as tho police wero for once insufficient, " King Mob " had things .pretty much his own way. The people wero not, however, mischievously inclined. On such an occa sion kindly feelings animate the minds of even tho most depraved, and beyond now and then chaffing the shivering un fortunates on tho tops of the omnibuses and in private carriages, the crowd was quiet and orderly. We had not been enjoying the vagaries of the mob for many minutes when a loud shout and the distant strains of a military band indicated tho proximity of the Guards. Here they come ! It is a sight to stir the blood of the least martial and make even a a'street-boy's heart beat, Tho men are so soldierly, and march so cheerily in their picturesque new uniforms. The ordinary get-up of the Scots Guards we all know, but these tall, strapping young sters look strange in their long, dark serge overcoats, white helmets with brass straps, and all tho elaborate paraphernalia of havre sack, canteen, wator-bottle, etc. In front is the band, to the strains of which the solid column mechanically keeps step without effort-tramp, tramp, tramp. All round the men surges the crowd. One Guards man has his sister hanging on to his arm as he steps along, another his sweetheart, another his brother or a friend. But all are lull of spirits. "Good-bye, Dick. Mind you write." "Good-bye, Tom. Take care of mother." "Come back to us safe, old man." " Good-bye, and good luck." Such are tho expressions which, according to the newspaper men in the crowd, wei*o heard on overy side. Hardly any seemed to be maniel mint They were apparently going to war perfectly contented, and with out anxiety for those left behind. And now as the crowd grows thicker in Gieat Goorge-Btieet,l.ud cheers break forth, to which tho outward-bound warriors merrily reply, and tho roar of human voices drowns alike band and bugles. Tramp ! tramp ! tramp ! If this is going to meet the foo, may Englishmen always go in the Bame spirit and with tho same bright faces. Every eye is clear, oveiy step firm and elastic, evory voice at its best when cheering has to be done.

As the column enters Broad Sanctuary tho sun breaks forth from the clouds, and its light shines brightly on the hundred towers and pinnacles of Westminster Palace, still wet and dripping from the morning mist, until they sparkle as if tipped and edged with silver. Tramp! tramp ! tramp ! Tho crowd horo bids fair to break through tho strong cordon of mounted polico and Bmash tho dark blue lino into little bits, bo wild is its enthusiasm. Hats aro thrown up, ringing cheers from ten thousnnd throats (ill the air, and a mad rush towards the pier indicates the over power ing de.iro of everybody to viow tho embarkation. Loudor ascend the cheers, louder and more jubilantly rattle tho drums, and down the column pours—tronip, tramp, down tho stone steps, along tho gangways, and on to tho rivor steamer. It is a splen did sight. Tho bridgo and the bank aro literally alive with a denso London crowd, $nd now to crown all, the police make way through the throng for a quiot brougham, a bluff, portly gentleman, in uniform, emcrgos, and the band breaks, amidst a deafening roar of cheers, into " God Bless the Prince of Wale-."

11.H.11. trots down the gangway and on to tho pier, shaking hands with this officer nnd nodding to ihe other. Then he bare his head, and turning to the thionged steamers with raised hand, calls out heartily, "Good health, God speed, and a safe re turn !" Thenthestoamers castoff,the paddles turn, the crowd gathers itself together for a final cheer, ond amidst a waving of hats and continuous " hurrahing," tho boats disap pear down the river. A memorable sight this departure of the Guards, and one that those who witnessed it are not likely to forget.

SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

(BY telegraph—PßESS association.)

DDNEI.IN, this day. •The Government has accepted the services of tho Anderson's Bay Company. In the Woßt Waithuna dummy cases, tho Land Board forfeited the license of Eadie, who had deserted his section ; and, in regard to the cases of Bruce, Keen, and Donoghue Robertson, the Board will make further inquiry unless the ranger reports favourably on his next visit. There was not sufficient evidence to show that the other licensesof ex-sefvantsof Smith, of Greenfield j estate,areevadingthe Act, whilsteatisfaction is expressed with the occupation of Smith's two eons.
