THE PRESENTATION OF MEDALS.

THE KING AND THE PEOPLE.

\VS OF TILL. LONDON TIMES London, June 13.

Amongst those who received medals at the presentation by the King yesterday were Majors-Goners] Mutton, Poic-Car-ew, and a number of Australian officers. The King looked 1 ale .and hearty.

The Times says the significance of the event lay in the attitude of the spectators, showing that the King never ).noi;e faithfully reflated the wishes of his people than by honouring with his own hand the soldiers who have shed their blood to cement the unity of the Empire. This also applies equally with regard, hi the medal bestowed on Lord Alilner, whom the paper describes as a statesman instinctively iden! died both by the people and our enemies with the Imperial policy in South Ai'rira. The Times points one (hat the bestowal of the incur.! on Lord Milner is strictly in accordance with precedents, and cites the presentation of medals to Lord Canning, after the suppression of the Indian Mutiny, to Lord iDlgin, on the conclusion of (he China war, and to the },iaiquir, o*' DuiVerin after the conquest of Burma.
