When a former Grand Duke Constantine was in Poland, in command of the Polish army, the Poles possssed great political advantages over the Russians, by which no small amount of jealousy is said to have been occasioned. No difficulty will be caused by the existence of any such jealousy now, for, in the present day, even Russia possesses an amount of liberty which the Poles have learnt to envy.—Times.

" The author of `Drealailan V and Aletheia' has risen to a height so very close to the summit of genius, that he may be commiserates for his inability to grapple with the last peaks of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and illusion : the landscape is most luxurious; and the mnsic of verse excellent , "—Literary Budget. "Mr. Rent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham 'is a cabinet picture. Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. 'Fructidor' shows what Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries, His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum. charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist. Bnt it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas ter of versification. The flow or his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. the Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a g e nu i ne pa th os, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story Oi the affections."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His 'Aleth e i a was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Smtt. There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."—Daily News. "Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor 'is a very close and victorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed." —The Critic. "The pictures Mr. Kent makes arc carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World, " We like some of Mr. Kent's minorpoems even better than `Dreamland.' Ile is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the Monody on Lord Strangford affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music shown in ' The Morris Dance s.' "—The P , ess. "It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English Solig, by dev ting the outpourings of his Muse to their Special illustration. There is not one of the many pictures here colleo'ed which is not perfect in all its parts -whether we consider he sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of most mellifluous verse, so that, while the mind is fully gratified, the senses—so to speak —are equally charmed."— Bentley's Miscellany.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. " The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath. —A very useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell proprietor of the Turkish B aths in the nei g hbourh ood of til e Post-office, which present s to the uninitiated a mass of lute! resting information, while those who have already encouraged this new system will derive additional advantage if they observe some of the practical regulations which the writer ondeavours to enforce." —Herald and Standard, N0v.12, 1861. " The Post-office Turkish Bath a, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist, in as far as lie has established, in the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the 'Turkish Bath. . . Our object being- merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Dlartin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement , which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could des ire lilo himself . .as been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of th e , regenerated We may and justly say made, it i that s ' n a :co m m an i of 'a Turkish Bath.

The room and lawn were but thinly at•. tended, and the attention of those present was principally directed to comparing on the Derby and Oaks, which it is needless to say, from the unusual size of some of the volumes, consumed the greater portion of the afternoon. The partial settling also upon the recent Bath meetings was entered into as the occasion presented, but the final settlement will take place on Saturday. Speculation in consequence of these drawbacks was scarcely entertained, and the repeated attempts made by some of the most indus trious were met with silence or a refusal. The Marquis ap • peered to hold his own, his friends appearing to be particu larly fond, but still stood out for half a point more than the layers were inclined to concede. Buekstone, by many con sidered a "false favourite," was, as usual, surrounded with uncertainty ; and those who appeared to possess the soundest information appeared affected with the doubt that attends the money-market. 6to 1 was his opening price, hat shortly after half a point more was offered to obtain a customer, and at the close 6 to 1 was betted several times, but still offered at the close. getiand was asked after, but did not appear in such good odour as at Bath, 100 to 8 being readily offered against him. The Stockwell colt was backed somewhat freely at 13 to 1, and Ensign and Caterer at a point more. N'epittnns was in demand at 100 to 7, booked to some money. 25 to 1 was freely taken about Argonaut, who appears to be the " Simon. Pure" of Sir Joseph, and 40 to 1 about the Clarissa colt. THE OAKS—This interesting ladies' race was introduced, but little was done in the way of business. Hurricane, the One Thousand winner, was freely supported at 4 to 1, but the backers tired out the layers, and at the close 3 to 1 was her highest price. Bto 1 each was taken to small amounts about Sappho, Olive Branch, and Q.E.D. 10 to 1 against ArrSoulaoind 1.2-16 I wastetted against My artner, and 100 to 6 Miss Vivian.

[ADVERTIS EMENTd—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Ve xation avoided I—T h i s Ointment is the most powerful agent for the healing of wounds, old ulcers, indolent sores, and all s!rum ous diseases of the' skin which, from local or constitutional causes, have hitherto resisted all ordinary modes of treatment. Holloway's Ointment rubbed upon the abdomen and aided by a judicious course of his Pills acts miraculously on the di gestion, and obviates all those obstons o in the mes enteric glands kno wn by the pallo r , a ttenuation, and gradually increasing weakness of the sufferer. The combined effects of Ointment and Pills are irresistible inn all long-continued diseases which ever pro duceof the digestion, circulation and glandular system. Holloway's .remedies are suitable for all ages and conditions, for all climates and coustantione, disarragement The company who undertock to supply sample plates or slabs of iron of the mp - ..oved quality re quired for the armour coating of the Caledonia, under construction at Woolwich, having failed to do so, the contract has been handed over to Messrs. Hill and Smith, Brierly-hill Iron Works, Stafford shire. Mr. Smith, one of the firm, yesterday visited the Caledonia at Woolwich, end finding that the works were in a very advanced state, he informed the authorities that the first despatch of plates would arrive without delay. Each weighs eight tons, is 3ft 3in wide, 15ft long, and 4-,in thick. The Worcester, old 46-gun sailing frigate, hav ing been completed fitting foi a training ship, and jury-rigged, left the Medwty yesterday for the Thames, where she will be stationed. the Admi ralty having lent her to the Aarine Society, to be used as a training vessel. The Worcester was con structed at Deptford several years ago, and has never been to sea, having been attached to the Chatham sailing reserve for a considerable period. On Wednesday a numerous body of shipwrights at Chatham dockyard commenced the removal of the coffer-dam at the entrance to No. 7 slip, on which the iron-plated frigate Royal Oak, is building, in order to lay down the " ways" for the launch of that vessel. As soon as the necessary works con nected with this portion of the undertaking have been completed, the dam will be refixed, until its final removal for the launch. The energies of the hands connected wit & tileßevtaraj,, departments .aitt, now devoted to fixing tile armour-plates to the frigate's sides, but this operation necessarily pro ceeds ',slowly, owing to the want of the requisite machinery for preparing the slabs of iron, the fac tory, adjoining the slip, in which the machinery will be fixed not being likely to be ready for some weeks to come. It is intended to place two lines of armour-plates on the Royal Oak's sides before she is launched, but according to present appearance it is probable that by the period named for launching her one tier of armour-plates will scarcely be fixed. I number of workmen have commenced the re moial of the sill and granite sides of No. 3 dock at ChEtham, to allow of the Royal Oak being ad mited into it as soon as launched. The Royal Oak is 53 feet 9 inches in breadth, without her exterior plaiking and armour places, which will only give a snail space between her sides and the dock. ;The Ramon, 21, which is at present in the third dock, wil be undocked to-day, to have her masts fixed on board. .

Yesterday a portion of the depot of the 83d Regi ment, the head-quarters of which have recently ar rived from India, left Chatham garrison, and pro ceeded by railway to Dover, where the 83d Regi ment is stationed. The detachment that left Chat ham yesterday numbered 270 men of all ranks, under the command of Capt. W. MinhEar. The depot com- panies of the 83d are still attached to Chatham gar• rison. Most of the men despatched to Dover yes• terday were volunteers to the 83d from other reg ments. The out-pensioners belonging to the Chatham district, under the command of Lieut.-Col. It. Jen kins, having completed their annual period of train ing, were inspected yesterday morning on Chatham Lines by Col. H. Jervis, commanding the Ist depot battalion. The six companies into which the divi sion is formed were drawn up on the ground at 10 o'clock, the total number of bayonets present being close upon 400. Each of the men was furnished with 15 rounds of blank ammunition. The line broke into companies and marched past in slow and quick time, the steadiness and regularity with which the veterans performed these movements eliciting great commendation. The companies were afterwards put through an extended course of manoeuvres, which were effected with remarkable regularity. The file, company, and volley firing was also pronounced very good. At the termina tion of the inspection, which occupied upwards of two hours, Col. Jervis expressed himself highly satisfied with the manner in which the men had acquitted themselves. Several important alterations are being carried out at the headquarters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, by which increased facili ties will be given to the officers and men quartered at Brompton Barracks for physical training. The removal of the various schools to the new buildings specially erected for them has enabled the autho rities to construct what has long been felt as a most important adjunct to the Royal Engineer establishment—a gymnasium for the use of officers and men. A building is being erected on the site of what once formed the laboratory, where every requisite will be provided for carrying on athletic exercises. The portion of the barracks formerly I used for the purposes of an infant school is being fitted up as coffee and smoking rooms. The huge 7in. muzzle-loading experimental gun, manufactured in the Royal gun factories at Wool wich, on Mr. Whitworth's principle, is now com pleted and ready to be despatched to Shoeburyness for trial. The gun has been bored and rifled on Mr. Whitworth's hexagonal system, and will carry an elongated shot weighing 1251 b. The proof charge as at present decided on will be 351 b. of powder, with a probable increase after the first rounds, which will be regulated by the select committee, the proof to take place under their direction. The weight of the gun is 7 tons Bcw t. and lqr. The marsh land adjoining the eastern portion of Chatham Dockyard, near St. Mary's Creek, hitherto used as a rifle range for the troops quartered at Chatham, being required by the Admiralty for the proposed extension of the dockyard, and the construction of the additional docks and basins, further practice at the range by the troops of the garrison, as well as the local Vo lunteer corps, is to be discontinued. An extensive tract of land a few miles from Chatham, adjoining purpose of a rifle rangeur a u e ffi d cby Government the Thames and t he North Kent Railwa y , has been ch capaciousernment to for the a llow several hun dred men to carry on t heir p ractice a t the sam e purchased time. The land has been levelled, and th e neces s a r y buildings for the use of the officers and men under ien o y linstruction erected. The first of the detachments selected to take possession of the new rifle range will leave Chatham garrison forthwith. During the time they are under rifle instrurtion the troops will occupy the new barracks at Gravesend, just com pleted. They are erected in a highly salubrious part of the town, and are constructed to accommodate 500 officers and men, but only half that number will be quartered in them in the first instance. In addition to the usual barrack buildings there is a hospital, lecture and reading rooms, school room, stores, &c. The sanitary arrangements of the new barracks have been made under the direction of the Army Sanitary Commissioners. RUSSIA AND POLAND. The news of the Grand Duke Constantine's ap pointment as Viceroy of Poland, will probably take the Russians less by surprise than the Poles. It is well known at St. Petersburg that the Grand Duke is ambitions, and that he has long been looking for ward to the important and difficult post which he is now about to occupy. The innumerable reforms in the administration of the Admiralty Department commenced under the Grand Duke's inspection were quite insufficient to absorb the energy of a Prince who, at one time, appears to have believed that he was born to Imperial command, and who, since the accession of the present Emperor,has been seeking to distinguish himself in every possible manner. Fortunately, there are not two roads to political distinction in the Russia of the present - 7.- N') nna—frem_.the Emp;-xe-e_ Rldest_ downward, could contrive to form even a respect able clique of supporters by favouring, or appearing to favour, retrograde notions. What used to be called the " Old Russian party"—apparently be cause a number of Old Russians belonged to it, and certainly not because it represented any ancient national principle—has, since the emancipation of the serfs, ceased to exist, and has now no basis on which to reconstitute itself. The German b'ireau cratic party, after pretending for a long series of years that Russia was to be civilized through its influence, is still the German bureaucratic party, impeding all real progress by its persistent habits of routine, while the leaders of the Constitutional movement are found among the chiefs of the most ancient and influential families in the Empire. If the " Old Russian party" included among its mys terious tenets a belief in the effleac icy of select conspiracies for the promotion of dynastic reforms, it is a remarkable, and certainly a very gratifying fact that the descendants of the most trenchant of all Russian reformers are found in the foremost ranks of those nobles who at Moscow, at St. Petersburg, at Toula, and at Tver assure Alexander 11. that he can save only his empire from dissolution by granting a constitution without delay. To read a formal well-considered statement of grievances in an as sembly open to all the world, to sign it, to take the opinion of the members upon it, with a view of for warding it, if generally approved, to the Emperor —this at least is a civilised mode of protest, and contrasts favourably with the more Oriental form which has been resorted to so many times in Russia during the last 120 years, and which was fully in vogue at the beginning of tho present century. Perhaps also this new mode of protest may lead to the desired result. At all events, it had already had the effect of dispelling any last illusion that may have existed as to the possibility of forming an anti-constitutional party among the high aristocracy of the country. It has made liberal ideas more than ever the fashion, and it is now more than ever im possible for a Grand Duke to achieve a political position otherwise than by declaring (or at least hinting) himself is favour of far greater reforms than any that have yet been taken in hand. Without wishing to offend or to pay undue com pliments to either of those Imperial liberals, we may remark that many points of similarity could be pointed out between the Grand Duke Constantine awl i'rmee Napoleon, there being, however, LUIS difference in favour of the Grand Duke, that he has hitherto behaved with great discretion and has given his best support to the policy adopted by the head of bis family, and to the one really important reform which Alexander 11. is endeavouring to carry out. In smaller matters, but which more immediately concerns himself, the Grand Duke Constantine has distinguished himself by establishing a very useful and interesting journal for the navy, which from the beginning of its four years' existence has been re markable for the liberality of its tone, and by the assiduity with which he has attended the meetings of the Geographical Society of St. Petersburg, of which his Imperial Highness is president. More over, when some months since there was a question of dissolving the St. Petersburg Society of Political Economy, on the ingenuous pretext that it occupied itself with subjects connected with the conduct of Government, the Grand Duke interposed and saved the life of the association by the assurance he gave that all political questions brought forward at the periodical meetings were discussed in an abstract manner, and with the greatest possible calmness and propriety. He had often been present at these meetings, and, after the above little difficulty, at tended them more regularly than ever. In the absence of any recognised political bodies (apart from the " assemblies of the nobility," of which the importance has only just been dis covered), the scientific societies of Russia offer the only field in which any direct personal influence on opinion can be exercised. In two of the societies the Grand Duke Constantine has made himself a really creditable position, and that some good effect is experienced from his countenance, participation, and general support may be inferred from the fact that he was solicited at the beginning of this year to assume the Presidency of the International Association for obtaining a uniform decimal system of measures, weights, and coins. From presiding over associations, however, to governing a kingdom is a great step, especially when the kingdom to be governed is Poland, and the Prince appointed to govern it is the son of Nicholas. The Grand Duke Constantine will now have to give evidence of the possession of such qualities as he has never before been called upon to exhibit, and he will, moreover, have to take with him to Warsaw some real eoneessione, in tho abacuco of which ho will find the position of Viceroy as untenable for him as it proved to be for Gortsehakoff, for Souk hozanet, for Lambert, and for Luders. The Emperor's brother cannot proceed to assume the reins of government in Poland with the view, or, rather, with the foreknowledge, that he is going to make himself unpopular there. Indeed, the fact of his being accompanied by the Marquis Wielopolski may in itself be regarded as a sign that he will arrive there to confer benefits, and that ho will begin his rule by promulgating some suc h reforms as were recommended by the Marquis in the memoir which he presented to the Emperor at St. Peters burg last autumn, and of which one of the principal was understood to be the re - cs t a blis . hment of the Polish Universities , or, at least, of superior academies, capable of supplying their place. Whatever may be thought of the Russian mole of dispersing un armed? crowds, there cannot be two opinions as to the system of reducing a nation to subjection by cu tting off it s intellectual supplies. Any amount of occasional brutality, in the presence even of the slightest symptoms of resistance, is better than these persistent attempts to destroy the life of a nation by the roots. But the muc h desired educational reform is only one out of a large number which a really well meaning Viceroy, aided by such an adlatus as M. Wielopolski, will be able to introduce. There need be no difficulty in finding out where to begin, for tho Poles are in want simply of everything. There are many kinds of food which are good for a starving ma n, and many kinds of reform whioh would be of immense benefit to the Poles. At present they have no superior schools, n o political representation, and not only no liberty of the press, but not even liberty to publish one word in, their journals on the RAIL TVA Y AND OTHER COMPANIES. SOUTH LEICESTERSHIRE. Yesterday a special meeting of this company, in accordance with the standing orders of the house of Lords, was held at the Euston Station, Lieut.- Col. Bigge, F.R.S., in the chair; Mr. Pearson, the secretary, read the notice conv enin g the meeting in, and thereafter the heads of the b ill now pending Parliament, upon which it was resolved unanimously that the bill for conferring additional powers on the London and North-Western Railway in relation to their own undertaking and those of other companies, and for authorising a deviation in the line of the South Leicestershire, and for other purposes, be ap proved, subject to such modifications as may be made by Parliament and assented to by the directors. CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Gresham House; Mr. 1 1 J o, :h.Tutr. B a p o p rr a a r epohdaatitlertee,:tshlteastcehamaiirrme sa a t n i ir p: m e i s l i s d ce e a d ic . wurta ,op ear: ciatoe beginning of the present year. The inhabitants of the intermediate villages have already availed themselves of the line to a considerable extent. The bridge over Telly's Canal has been finished, and that over the Piallee, which has been the cause of so much delay and expense, the directors have every reason to believe has by this time been com pleted, and a communication established with the Mutlah. The expenditure on th© line having been found to exceed the amount which the directors were led to believe would be sufficient, they ask permission to raise £50,000 by shares or debentures, of which, however, only that amount will be issued which may be found indispensable. Much of this excess over the estimate is due to increased scarcitx of labour and rise of wages in the district. But the increased wealth of the native population thereby indicated will be advantageous to the line when open. Of the last sum of £50,000 authorised by the shareholders to be raised by debentures, on the 18th Nev. last, £40,000 only has been sanctioned by the Secretary of State for India, and the issue has been confined to this amount. Mr. Bruce, one of the consulting engineers, stated in his report that it was probable the Government would postpone the opening of the line throughout until after the monsoon in September. It appeared that the cost of completing the line and providing rolling stock would be about £376,000, and that the expenditure has been incurred with the express sanction of the Government in India in every detail. The capital account showed that £326,534 had been received and £324,228 expended, leaving a balance of £2,306. In reply to questions, it was stated that it would be necessary to provide jetties and tramways for the purpose of loading ships from the railway trucks and for unloading them into the trucks ; also to pro vide a dry dock or slip for the repair of vessels in the Mutlah. The cost of providing these adjuncts to the railway would be altogether about £75,000, and would pay for the outlay. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, re electing the retiring directors, electing Mr. C. Johnson an auditor, in the room of Mr. Austin, resigned, and authorising the directors to raise an additional sum of £50,000, in shares or debentures, at a rate not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum. 11A VITTIV ANTI) 111". el: ST; The report of the directors states that the prefe rence shares created at the last meeting have been issued, bearing interest at 8 per cent. Tho whole of the additional plant recommended by the engi neers has now been despatched. Charters from Kustendjie now form a prominent feature in the shipping intelligence from the Black Sea. The revenue account for the past half-year exhibits a loss, but this has been due to the very limited amount of trade which it has been possible to carry during the past winter, which has been one of ex treme severity and of unusual duration in the East. Snow fell to a great depth, and its melting was attended with unexampled floods, submerging a small portion of the lino near the centre, 3ft. 7in., and a considerable area to a less extent, thus ren dering the'prosecution of the traffic difficult and ex pensive, and at length altogether stopping it. The working expenses are now reduced to a scale which leaves a fair margin of profit. No further damage has been done to the mole since the gale of October last. A considerable quantity of stone is now ready to be carried on to the mole. The wharfage accommodation is intended to be increased, so as to afford berths for six vessels, drawing 18 feet of water, to load at once. There will then be facilities for the despatch of 12 per week. The efforts which have been made to procure a complete settlement of the company's claims against the Turkish Govern ment have not been hitherto successful. /NTERCOLONIAL ROYAL MAIL STEAM. The directors of this company state in their re port that £101,670 had been received up to the 31st of December in respect to the original and new shares, and the liabilities, including the balance of loans on mortgage, balance of profit and loss, making a total of £142,878. This sum was repre sented on the credit side by property in steamships, sailing 'vessels, coals, stores, in hand and by debts duo to the company. The working account showed receipts amou ntin g to X 78,293, and dis bursements to the extent of 69,697, leaving a ba lance of £8,596 which, with £719 from the pre ceding account, gives £9,315. The dividend to the 30th of June last absorbed £3,679, the further sum of £l,OOO bad been applied in the reduction of preliminary expenses, &T. ; and out of the resi due it was proposed to pay a dividend for the six months ending Dec. 31 at the previous rate of 71 per cent. per annum clear of income tax. The directors state that Captain V. Hall had a lreadyda . i n t ro duced an econo mical s y ste m of acommo working, e had effected a vast im p rovement in the condition of the vesse ls, had enlarged their passenge r ti on , and otherwise had given satisfaction t o the colonies. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday the bill o f th e Birkenhead Docksand West d West Cheshire Jun c ti on was passed in Mr. H owes ' committee. The case f or the Birkenhead , Flint shire, and Holyhead Railway for a branch line ter minating at Queensferry, on the north of the Dee, about six miles in length, with a branch over the Dee to the Chester and Holyhead at Hawarden, was opened by Mr. Calvert, Q.C., and evidence taken. The company propose to cross the Dee by a bridge, six miles below Chester, to consist of nine spans, 50ft. each, and 10ft. headway, but the Lords of the Admiralty report to the committee that such bridge at the site intended would be injurious.

Almost before the _last reverberation had died away up the Horn and across over the Asian hills, their Highnesses the Grand Vizier, A'ali Pacha and Capitan Pacha—the former dignitaries in a palace ca i qu e, and the latter i n his state bar g es — the the Osborne to tender his Majesty the Sultan's el come to the royal tourist. Mushaver Pacha (Sir Slade), the admiral of the port, followed a few minutes later in his 10-oared gig. The visit of the Grand Vlzier,--wbo waajn - f u4 uniform, and wore the Osmanie in brilliaats--lasted about half an hoar, after which his highness and A'ali Pacha rowed back to the palace. About a quarter of an hour later the Prince, accompanied by Sir Henry Bulwer, and Mr. Pisani, the first dragoman to H.M. Embassy, followed in the Capitan Pacha's barge, and in company with his highness. And here oc curred pdplt perhaps spethrheaopns by lvsslip in the etiquett e of the day's ceremonial. The Capitan Pacha—momen tarilyhonours to a Prince of Wales—enured first, instead of awaiting the Prince at th e foot of the steamer's ladder. His Royal Highnes s, how ever, adroitly failed to notice the blunder, and the l tv en el i t e y re o d f doings hbarge a t rg h e e quietly took his place in the centre of the stern- - sheets. The ambassadors followed, and a few sweeps of the powerfully-manned oars shot the elegant craft alongside the palace stairs. There his Royal High. ness was received by the Grand Vizier and the first c hamberlain, and a few steps behind by the Sultan himself, who conducted his royal visitor inside n u the palace, whilst his Majesty's privat e band, drawp close by, tendered the musical salute of " God save the Qaeen." At the interview which followed the only per sonages present were their Highnesses the Grand Vizier and A'ali Pacha, and his Excellency Sir H. Bulwer. At its close his Majesty accompanied the Prince to the door of the palace, in front of which the court carriages which were to convey his Royal Highness and suite to the British Embassy were waiting. There also—though hardly distinguish able from the dense crowd of natives and other foreigners—were waiting nearly the whole of the male members of our own community, who, as did many others of the attendant crowd, uncovered as the carriage containing the Prince, the ambassador, and General Bruce drove out o f the palace gates. His Royal Highness appeared to recognise the national salute, and bowed freely t his greeting fellow-countrymen on either kid iaeof the living double - wall t hou g h which the carrge passed. A troop of Lancers formed the escort, and closely followed by these and five other car riages with the members of the Prince's suite and the embassyofficials, the cortege proceeded at a brisk trot up the hill, past the Bellevu e Cafe, into the Grand Champs—where the Artillery guard was turned out in readiness to salute—and so down into estrum rvsof ('Solutes gcsvoi.....WhipTA affair: the main guard was under arms—up to the palace of the embassy. Dense crowds of curious spectators thronged both sides of this long route, fully a half of the windows on either side of which were also packed with curious "natives," keenly anxious to catch a glimpse of the future sovereign of Great Britain. An hour later his Majesty the Sultan returned his Royal Ilighness's visit at tho embassy, and, with this compliment of the round of the imperial and royal courtesies, ended the ceremonial observances of this first day of the first visit ever made by a Prince of Wales to Constantinople.
