The Grenadier Guards.
DEPARTURE FOR BERMUDAS (Received July 24, 8 p.m.)
London, July 22
Large crowds assemblod to witness the departure of the Grenadier Guards, who embarked for the Bermudas at daybreak. The greatest enthusiasm was displayed, and a largo number of police were required to keep the crowd in order. The men were cheerful, and were taken straight on board H.M.S. Tamar at Chatham. The popular impression is that the Guards have been harshly treated by the officers, who are not in touch with the men through non-residence. 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.
