EASTER BEVIKW. It is probable that the Easter review will be held at Palmerston or Mosgiel this year. Lieutenant-colonel Stavely has placed himself in communication with heads of battalions with a view of ascertaining how many men would be likely to take part in the demonstration. In consequence of the refusal of support 'by Government, men attending the review would be required to pay their own expenses.
