GRENADIER GUARDS.
THEIR DEPARTURE FROM ENGLAND. London, July 22. Twenty-two thousand persons witnessed the departure of the Grenadier Guards. Many scenes were witnessed as the men bade their friends farewell,
and they were accorded an ovation as the steamer moved off.
Large crowds assembled to witness the departure of the Grenadier Guards, wlio embarked for Bermudas at daybreak. The greatest enthusiasm was displayed, and a large number of police were required to keep the crowd in order. The men were cheerful, and were taken straight 011 board H.M.s. Tamar, at Chatham. The popular impression is that tho Guards have been harshly treated. Many members of the House of Commons are urging Mr. Edward Stanhope, Secretary of the War Department, to reduce the sentences passed on those convicted of mutinous behaviour.
