Loxpoy, June 24.—A review of 7,000 trocps w2s held by Queen Viotoria, st Windsor Park, this afternoon, in honor of the Ehah of Persia. The weather was showery, but tho crowds of speclators were enormous. After s series of rilliant maneuvres, the troops formed in line and marchea by tho Queen and Shah. Among the distinguiahed persons who aasisted at the re- view were the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Leopold, the Duke of Cambridge, coss Deatrice, the Czaro- witch and his wife, the Princass Dagmar. TIn the House of Commons to-dny, Heighesson, Under-Secrotary for the Colonial Department, moved the second resding of the Canada Loan Guarantee bill. He explained that tho money to bo raised by losnhas to be appropriated for the construction of the Pacific Railway. He praised the Canadian people for thelr publio spirit and loalty, and denied that the guarantees for the loan had been arranged for sny ofol.ieica! reason in connection with the ‘Treaty of Washington or the fisheries. B8ir Charles Dilke denounced the vicious sys- tem of guaranteeing euterprises and works for which colonies were not vot fit. He insisted that the guarantee of the bill ‘under copsiderstion was in the naturs of a bribe for the concesgions Canada had made in regard to the fieheries, 80 that the provisions of the Treaty of Washington might be execnted. He ronounced the Pacific Railway a gigontic Par- iamentary job, and concluded by moving that the second readivg of the bill be postponed six months. After speeches for and sgainst the bill by oth- er members, Mr. Gladstone rose andrebuttod the d:?u made by Sir Charles Dilke. The proposed guarantes, be said, had no connection whatever with the Treaty of Washington. Ac- tion on the bill boen purposely delayed until that treaty - was set- tled. The object of the measure was not to give Canada eo much hush-money, but to recognize s just demsnd she had on England in the Fenian raids on her territory. Canada suffered on England’s accomnt, and Canada had elected to cancel the debt we owed ber in this way. The original motion for the second reading was then caried, 117 to 15. e GERMANY.

The great question with the agitators of the movement is, How is the abuse tobe remedied? It is con- ceded that the Government cannot take official cognizance of the evil without materially alter- ing the immigration laws, and a plan for a new law isnow being drawn up by Afr. Monacacie and soveral other prominent Jtalian residents of New York. The rooms of the Importers’ and Grocers' Board of Trade were formally opened this after- noon.

The Central Method- ist Church, in which the fuperal services were held, was too smsll to admit the entire number of those who, by their presence, paid the last tribute of respect to the memory of their de- parted friend.

Interesting Excerpts from the Monthly Agricultural Report. The Cotton, Wheat, and Corn Crops. Special Disvatch to The Chicago Tridune, THE VIENNA COMMOSSIONERS. Wasmxoroy, June 24.—Thoe American Com- missioners to the Vienna Exposition, who wore suspended by Secretary Fish, are determined that the matter shall not end for the preseat with the State Department. They assert that gross injustice has been done them, and thai they have had no opportunity to vindicate them- selves. Itis probable they will make commcn cause, and, under the management of Gen. Van Buren, Chicf Commissioner, they will make a raid upon Becrotary Fish in Copgress. Tke lat- ter will come before that body in the form of & resolution calling upon the President for all the correspondence on the subject in the possession of tho Government, together with tho facts and circumstances, connected with the case. Van Buren's friends alloge that this corre- spondonce, if mado public, will show that the removalof the Commissioners was the result of a ploi on the part of Fisk and Jonn. Jay, Minister at Vienns, to get rid of Van Buren. and that there is no evidence, other than the mere assertion of Jay, to prove that there is 3oy truth in the charges preferred. Tho whole trouble is said to have grown out of an old E:r:nnll quarrel between Jayand Van Buren, fore the former_ was appointed Minister to appears to have warm friends .amon the New York, New Jorsey, snd New Englacd Congressmen, and the controversy mises to e bitter, if not interesting. It is likelv to re- sult in tho publication of the official correspond- ence, 80 that the people will be able to judge for themselves. SPANISH EMANCIPATION. Nearly a year ago the Secretary of State re- ceived a dispatch from Minister Sickles an- nouncing that the then King of Spain, ous. had signed regulations enforcing the emancipa- tion in Cuba and Porto Rico.

Hitherto the Spanish Government has failed to carry oat its pronisés, and Secretary Fisl is boginming to lespair of eny practical results in Cuba from the emancipation act. It has been discovered that before the time when it was supposed the Ewancipation edict wounld fabs Carict meaie ol ke, lives ih Porto Rico were sent to Cnba snd sold. The feeling between the United States and Cuta is not of the most friendly character, and it isstat- ed that within a short tims a sbarp correspons Austris. Van Buren many y dence has ed, whercin Secretary Fish tool occagion to csll the sftention of the Bpanish authorities to tke facs that, after the lapse of a year, they have failed to do what they smmiserl. sud that the patienco of the prople and tke Government of the United States iu nearly exbausted.

No estimate of the crop is made. o statistical returns of corn completed to Juae 1 do not include the ares and condition, for the reason that it is too early, but the foot-notes of the correspondence show that the plaating of corn in most Bections of the country kas been much retarded by the excesaively wat and cold weather, and that the pests which usnally thrive in such weather, the cut-worms, have commenced extensive operations, and threaten to greatly damage the crop.
