§ LORD ELCHOsaid, that Her Majesty had graciously signified her intention of reviewing the Volunteer Force in Windsor Great Park on Saturday. As it was desirable that there should be as large an attendance as possible, he wished to know, Whether it is intended to give the gentlemen engaged in the Government Offices who are Volunteers a holiday on Saturday, in order that they may have an opportunity of going to Windsor? If the Government set the example by giving the holiday, it would be followed, he trusted, by employers in the metropolis.
§ MR. DISRAELINotice, Sir, has already been given to all those engaged in Public Offices who are Volunteers, that their public services will not be required on Saturday next, in order that they may have an opportunity of attending the review. That Notice has been generally 1567 communicated to all engaged in the Public Service, and if there have been any omissions I will take care they are supplied. I trust that the good example thus set by the Government may be followed by others.
