THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious !krtic'e of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, !nid has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been Drought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a Perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. lie then bought some Pr Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which rcrled off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor cY's food for s qttle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced 1 e conclusion that its celebrity arises solely f rom its ownin , ..insic merits, and the great demand for it can Prueeed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those "ho have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle Will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a Pamphlet which is sent post-free.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay.has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded, demonstrating his success and explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

The following is the summary of the Overland China Mail of Nov. 15 : The London mail of the 25th September arrived here-on the 9th inst. The only important intelligence of the fortnight comes from Shanghai, where the tariff and trade regulations, supplementary to the new British treaty with China, have been signed by Lord Elgin and the Imperial Commissioners; the latter having received an answer from the Emperor yielding the point, which was referred to him for settlement. In accordance with the system of secrecy which our plenipotentiary has pursued, no official information has been given in regard to the tariff and regula tions; but it is reported that the import of opium has been legalised under a duty of 30 taels per chest ; that the other duties upon imports have been fixed at an ad valorem rate of 5 per cent.; and that the duties upon exports. have been approximated to a similar rate, excepting those on tea and silk, which remain as they were before. Considering the enormous tax which we place on the import of tea into Britain, Lord Elgin could not, with any face, have demanded a reduction of the compara tively trifling Chinese duty. Lord Elgin and his suite intended to proceed up the Yang-tsze in the Furious, starting on MOnday last, the Bth inst., and accompanied by the Retribu tion and Cruiser, with the gunboats Lee and Dove. If practicable, they mean to ascend as far as Han kow, nearly 800 miles distant, and his lordship will thus be able to determine, by personal inspection, what ports should be opened on the river under the new treaty. Various rumours are in circulation as to the special object of this excursion. By some it is hoped, and by others dreaded, that the squa dron may be fired upon by the rebels when it passes Nanking, and thus British power may be brought in conflict with a power in China inimical to the interests of commerce. The expedition was ex pected to be absent from Shanghai for about three weeks, so the report of his lordship's speedy ap pearance at Hong Kong, to which some gave credit, turns out to have been incorrect. We are informed that Lord Elgin expressly prohibited all strangers tram tictn-6 - 4 , ..00 2 0mpany the expedition. On both sides of the Yang-t&ne"the rebels !cave been committing great devastation, and are said to have slaughtered every person in the city of Luhho, of which they had never previously been able to get possession. The improvement in the state of Alatters at Can ton continues steadily to progress, though not much business is doing there; and besides the sale of teas, there have been some transactions in regard to cotton manufactures. Elsewhere will be found a translation of Whang's proclamation autho rising the resumption of trade, which was received by us too late for insertion in our last overland issue. There have been no special indications of late of hostility towards foreigners, on the part of the people of Canton and its neighbourhood ; but until they get the opportunity of cutting off a few foreigners, it is impossible to know with certainty what impression has been left on their min ds by recent events. On -the 7th inst. several fires broke out at Canton, and were supposed—but with what truth we cannot say—to have been the work of incendiaries. Two large junks, belonging to the contractor for the troops, were destroyed, along with a number of bullocks and other stores on board. The bakery was only preserved by the active exer tions of the officers and men of the gunboat Star ling, soon assisted by seamen from other English and French vessels. No further intelligence has reached us of the pro gress of the allied French and Spanish force at Cochin. At Manilla, on the 29thu1t., three Annamese mandarins, who had been captured by the force, were presented to the Captain-General of the Phili ppines, and it was with difficulty they were assured that it is not the custom of civilised nations-to tor ture and put to death prisoners taken in war. They had good reason, from the conduct of their own countrymen and neighbours, in dreading death at the hands of their captors ; for two French Roman Catholic bishops have suffered martyrdom in Cen tral Tonquin within the last two years. One of these, Msgr. Melchior, died so lately as the 28th of July of this year. In our last Overland we anticipated that an un fortunate affair between foreigners and Kwang tung men, both resident at Fuhchau, would become a matter for consular jurisdiction ; and such has been the result. It originated in suspicion, on the part of the former, in regard to the relationships of a certain class of the Chinese population, to which the special correspondent of the Illustrated London News devoted much attention, and to which the Bishop of Victoria did not allude in his letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, on " the relations of Western Christendom with the population of the Chinese Empire." This suspi cion led to a violent assault by some of the English at Fuhchau, on a party of Kwang-tung men engaged at a private feast, all of whom were severely " punished," and one of whom was carried off, deprived of his tail, and imprisoned on board a receiving ship until released by a man-of-war's boat sent for the purpose. Mr. Mcdhurst, the Consul at Fuhchau, found it necessary to fine the assaulters 100 dole. each, from whence we conclude that they were to a great extent in the wrong. The only local matter of interest in this place has been a long examination in the Insolvency Court of Mr. W. M. Robinet, whose extraordinary premed ings have attracted the notice of the commercial community on both sides of the Pacific. Some time ago Mr. Robinet went from this, with a cargo of silk he had shipped, to Valparaiso, and on the voy age an attempt was made to set fire to the vessel and cargo. Though this proved unsuccessful, it disclosed that the silk was not silk but gunny bags, worth nothing ; and Mr. Robinet then attempted, or pretended to attempt, suicide. When the vessel reached Valaparaiso, he was non inventus, and it was said he had thrown himself overboard. How ever, after a few days, Mr. Robinet re -appeared, with a story that, vexed brit, he deception practised on him and the consequent embarrassment of his affairs, he had intended to drown himself, but was prevented from doing so by the number of sharks and whales he saw in the water ; that, next, he tried a dose of laudanum, and this had only the effect of setting him to sleep in an out-of-the-way corner of the ship ; that he was an honest man ; that he had been deceived by the Chinese, because of the services he had rendered to the allied forces on the Canton river ; and if his creditors at Valpa• raiso would only let him go back to China, he would demand the aid of the allied forces in obtaining the' arrest and punishment of the Chinamen who had deceived him. He was allowed to go back, and on his arrival here was arrested on the suit of his principal creditor, the American house of Russell and Co. On his applying for a release, the case of the vessel Mercedes and the gunny bags was not gone into, but enough appeared of his style of con- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 29, 1858.

Several of the Indian papers give alarge space to addresses, on the part of the Mussulman community, to the Queen of England. A few days after the reading of the proclamation at Calcutta there was a Mahomedan meeting, and an address to her Majesty was voted unanimously. The meeting was attended by a pretty good number of the leading members of the Mahomedan society of Calcutta, and the chair, at the request of those present, was occupied by Cazi labdool Bari. . The proceedings were commenced by Moulvee Md. Abdoor R owoof addressing the Meeting at some length, expatiating chiefly on the good - government which British rule has introduced into this country, and the unceasing solicitude for the prosperity and advancement of its people, displayed by those en trusted with the duty of administering. its affairs. He expressed also his deep and heartfelt regret at the evils and misery entailed on the country in the course of the late disturbances, caused by the fool ishness of a set of ambitious men, and dwelt parti cularly on the royal grace and clemency of her august Majesty the Queen towards the princes, chiefs, and people of India, as evinced in her most gracious proclamation. e concluded by moving . the 'first resolution : That as her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to extend her royal benevolence to her Indian sub 7 jects, and to hold them out hopes of present and - future wel fare, on the occasion of her taking - the adininistration of the' British territories in India into her own hands, it is as much the duty of her subjects of the Alahomedan persuasion, as of any other class whatsoever, to present her a bumble and dutiful address, expressive of their devoted loyalty and at tachment to her crown and person. It was seconded by Moulvee Kubeerood Deen Ahmed,' and carried unanimously. Moulvee Md. Yfuzhur, honoiary secretary to - the Mahomedan Atsociation, produced a Persian address, with trans lation (both of which. had been prepared by the committee), and, reading it to the meeting, moved the second resolution—" Thdt the address just now read be. approved and adopted." •It was seconded by Moulvee AbcloO Luteef, and carried unanimously . The following is the English version of the ad. dress : May it please your Majesty,--We, your Majesty's most loyal and humble subjects belonging to the Mahomedan community of India, beseech your Majesty's permission to approach your Majesty's throne, with these our most loyal and respectful acknowledgments for your Majesty's most gracious proclamation, read to us on the Ist of the present month •f November, 1858, by one of the secretaries of your Majesty's Indian Government. Ancrwe humbly beg to lay at your Majesty's feet this the expression of our most complete satisfaction at the an nouncement made in your Majesty's most gracioui procla mation aforesaid, of having assumed-in your own hands the government of these your Majesty's Indian subjects. And we humbly beg to lay before your Majesty also this the expression of our heartfelt gratitude for the gracious in terest in and the solicitude for the good and prosperity of your Majesty's Indian subjects, evinced in your Majesty's gracious proclamation aforesaid, And we beg leave to lay before your Majesty also this the expression of deep appreciation of the value of the pro mises made, and intentions set forth, in your Majesty's gracious proclamation aforesaid, more particularly of your Majesty's gracious intention to protect all your Majesty's Indian 'subjects in the free exercise of their respective religions, to secure them in the enjoyment of their ancient rights in the land, to advance them accordin g to their de serts to posts of honour and t rus t i n your Majesty's royal service, and to cause to be regarded with care their ancient rights, usages, and customs. And we further crave to hereby most respectfully repre sent unto your Majesty our admiration of the royal cle mency which extends to persons guilty o f h av i ng th rown off their allegiance to your Majesty in the course of the re • cent unhappy disturbances,- the fullest pardon and oblivion of their offences, and also our admiration of the judgment and discrimination - which excludes from the benefit of such par don and oblivion, persons guilty of offences which it were alike i.mjust and impolitic to let go unpunished. And, we most humbly beg your Majesty's permission to represent unto your Majesty our earnest and deep-rooted belief and conviction, that in the promulgation of your Ma jesty's rule, and that of your Majesty's heirs and succes sors over these territories, is to be found the best and truest security for that prosperity and social advancement which it is your Majesty's gracious desire to promote in your Ma jesty's Indian dominions; and we further most humbly beseech that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to place trust and reliance on the earnestness and sincerity of this our representation. And, lastly, we most humbly beseech your Majes;;y's•per mission to join your Majesty in prayer to Almighty God, that by vouchsafing strength and knowledge to all He may enable your Majesty, and your l'slajesiT i s heirs and succes sors, to fulfil and-realise the gracious intentions of your Mr jesty, as ntained in your Majesty's most gracious procla mation esaid ' - , humbly beg your Maj'esty's permissimi tO:Sub; scribe ourselves your Majesty's most loyal and most dutjlol subjects. In Bombay the native community have forwarded an 0 address, of which the folloWin,, is a copy:— _ _ _ To her Most Excellent Majesty the Queen. May it please your Majesty,—We, the undersigned, your Majesty's native Indian subjects residing in the town and island of Bombay, duly considering th e i m p or t ance o f th e modifications lately introduced into the government of Bri tish India ' whereby the direct sovereignty of these terri tories has devolved upon your Majesty, desire on this auspi cious occasion to approach your Majesty's throne with an expression of our sincere loyalty, attachment, and devotion. Firmly assured • as we are that the great principles of moderation, impartiality, and justice, characteristic of your Majesty's government in all parts of the British Empire, will henceforth, as ever, be scrupulously recognised, we venture to offer to your Majesty our humble and hearty congratulations on the assumption of your royal supremacy over this vast country, and we beg leave at the same time to express our cordial hope that the important change of administration which has thin been inaugurated may have the effect of plaeinc• your Maj es ty' s ru l e i n I n di a o n a b as is still more secure than that upon which it has rested for so re my years. "With earnest prayers for the welfare of your Majesty, of the Prince, your illustrious Consort, and of your royal family, as well as for the speody restoration of tranquillity in the disturbed provinces of British India, and for a long continuance of peace and prosperity in your Majesty's dominions —we, with the profoundest respect, subscribe ourselves, your Majesty's most dutiful, humble, and de voted subjects. The signatures which are appended include those of Sir Jamsetjee Jebheeboy, Jugonnath Sunkersett, Cursetjee Jainsetjee, and other influential natives. The total number of names exceeds 3,000. A good reason has been assigned for the Mussul m en's eagerness to testify th eir loyalty. Al t h oug h the mutinous Hindoos in the late rebellion were as cruel and as sanguinary as the Mahomedans, yet the latter are regarded as the prime movers and. insti gators. Nor were the Moslems of the North Western provinces alone regarded with suspicion, but nearly all of that faith throughout India were considered as accomplices. Hence the desire was natural that the Mahomedans of the metropolis should wish to remove any doubt of theirloyalty which may exist. Perhaps a similar feeling prompted the Nawab of Moorshedabad to forward the following congratu latory address to her Majesty:-- Madam,—On the 31st of August the British empire in the East passed under the d irect authority of your most gracious Majesty. The benigu rule of your Majesty now extends also to Inditi, and its moral and physical effects will soon be felt throughout the land, especially by rendering justice attainable to all, rich and poo r , and by developing the boundless natural resources of thi s great empire. I hail the event as the commencement of a new era in the history of India, and as the forerunner of a mighty change which opens the vision of a bright fiiture. Wherever the banner of your Majesty is unfurled, industry, arts, and science, fol.- low in•its wake, and carry with them prosperity, civiliza; tion, and education—those inestimable blessings which everywhere so largely contribute to the happiness of your Majesty's faithful subjects—and add fresh stability to the throne. As the descendant of one of the oldest ruling families of Hindostan, and the acknowledged faithful ally of the British Government, I d esirespermission to be one of the first to lay this my humble tribute of loyalty, respect, and affection at the foot of the throne of your Most Gracious Majesty. May the God of mankind shower his choicest blessings upon your Majesty and family, and that long life, health, and happiness may be th e portion of the mighty Sovereign of Great Britain is the fervent and sincere prayer. of, madam, your l‘lajesty's most humble and faithful ser vant and subject, (Signed) SYBD Merl - soon ULLEE. Palace Moorshedabad, Nov. 1. A Lucknow correspondent writes, • under date of Nov: 5, 1858 : On the . Ist of this month the proclamation announcing the transfer of the Indian empire to the government of the Queen was read out before all the European and native troops. Mr. Forsyth read out the English proclamation, and Mr. Martin, the deputy commissioner, the vernacular copy. The troops had all been assembled at a very early hour on the plain adjoining the Delaram•ke- Kothee, and it was here that the proclamation was read. Nearly all the gentlemen and ladies of the station were present. A royal salute was fired after the proclamation had been read out, and shortly after each regiment marched off to its own encampment. Accard.ing to the programme, which had been circulated last week, parties were invited to attend at the Chuttur Munzil and Furad Buksh to witness the games and amusements that were to go on on the other side of the river —and also to partake of tiffin, which was laid out in the spacious halls of these palaces. The chief commissioner and civil and military staff occupied the river front of the Furad Buksh, and the rest of the Christian community were assembled in the adjoining rooms of therhuttur Munzil. At 2 o'clock the amusements began—they consisted of racing on foot and horse back—jumping, leaping, boat racing, &c. These amusements lasted till six o'clock in the evening, and immediately after dusk there was a display of fireworks. All the neighbouring buildings were also „illuminated. Much credit is due to those officers who in sd short a notice managed everything on so grand a scale. The natives of the city did not quite understand the affair, and few came to hear the proclamation. The commissioner therefore on Tuesday morning went to the Char , k, and after assembling a large body of citizens, explained to them the reasons which induced the Christian community to rejoice on the preceding day. Mr. Wood, the city magistrate, then read out the pro clamation to them. The result was that in the evening the' principal streets of the city were illuminated, and all the influential natives had a grand nautch in one of the large emembarahs. From the districts we have not much news. 'Yesterday a telegram was received from Major Barrow from headquarters w hi c h i n ti ma t e d th e fall of Rampoor Kussiah. It was assaulted on the 3d inst., after three hours' firing, by Brigadier Wetherall, who captured five guns. Our casualties amount to about 30. The loss of the enemy is said to have been severe. • Two of our officers, Colonel Farquhar and Major Smith, have been wounded. The following is from the Singapore Times : Yesterday morning, Nov. 19, the reading of the Queen's proclamation took place on the Esplanade, A platform was erected in the centre of the plain, over which was placed a tent covering, supported by pillars covered with scarlet cloth, and fringed with drapery of red and white ; the flooring was also covered with red and white cloth ; in the centre there was a place reserved for the civil functionaries and the consular body, and on each side ample accommodation was provided for both ladies and 'gentkinen. Before 7 o'clock the 14th Madras Na tive Infantry, under the command of Col. Liardet, arrived on the ground and took .up a position on the north side, the Artillery and Golandauze with their field pieces being placed at the two extremi ties of the Esplanade. The south side was occu pied by the Madras European Artillery, the Ma rines of her Majesty's ship Amethyst, and the Volunteer Rifle Corps, whilst the front of the plat form towards the sea was lined with the jolly tars of the Amethyst. The military arrangements were under the direction of Brigadier M‘Leod. Under the abl e managemen t o f Capt. T. Marshall, the yachts and ship's boats—about 60 in number— were arranged in the form of a crescent, all being gaily decorated with flags. A few minutes before 7 o'clock his Excellency the Governor arrived, and was received with a salute. His Excellency took his station on the centre of the platform, surrounded by his Honour the Recorder, the Hon. the Resident Councillor, his Highness the Sultan of Johore, the Consul-General D'Egremont, the French, 'United States, Sardinian, and Hamburg Consuls, Captain Grenfell, R.N., and several naval and military offi cers. His Highness the Tumongong attended in his carriage, but owing to indisposition was not able to alight. Many thousands of natives were also pre sent, as also a large body of police. At 7 o'clock his Excellency the Governor, in pursuance of instruc tions from her Majesty, read _aloud the Queen's Pro clamation in English. The Madras European Ar tillery, Marines, and Volunteer Rifles changed their position to the north side of the Eiplanade, extend ing the line of troops. The native population, at the request of his - Excellency, were desired to ap proach the platform, and the proclamation was then read in the Malay language, after which copies of the proclamation in English and Malay were distributed- amongst the Europeans and natives present; A royal salute was fired by the artillery on the ground, followed by . a feu de joie by the Royal Marines, Volunteer Rifle Corp s , an d 14th M.N.I. His Excellency the Governor then proposed three cheers for the Queen, which was followed by a burst of enthusiasm, and re-echoed by the thou sands assembled on shore and on board the shipping and boats. The band of her Majesty's ship Ame thyst played the National Anthem. Brigadier M'Leod then called upon the troops to give three cheers for the Queen, which was enthusiastically responded to. The Volunteers were so ardent in expressing their loyal*y as to wave their caps in the air. On the departure of his Excellency the Governor, at 8 a.m., the troops presented arms, and shortly afterwards they marched to their respective quarters. The affair passed off with the utmost order, harmony, and good feelinf , ; a more loyal demonstration could not be wit nessed. We ought not to omit noticing that Government-hill . flagstaff, the Masonic-hall flag staff, and the ships in the harbour were gaily de corated with flags, and the morning being a fine one, added to the happy feeling manifested m eiTry fa ce. The only fact of the fortnight, beyond the sur render of Amethie is the issue of a new interest Order. The interest on " Company's paper," the Indian debt, may henceforward be drawn in Eng land, holders receiving not a specified sum in cash, but bills for the number of rupees to which they would be entitled in Calcutta. The Order was so badly worded that the brokers at first imagined transfer in England was disallowed. A second notification from the Treasury, however, removed the di ffi culty, and some large sums will be sent home. The price has not, however, risen so rapidly as expected, Company's Five per Cents. remaining at 51 discount. Both Orders are annexed. " THE INTEREST ORDER. " NOTIFICATION. " Fort William, Financial Department, Nov. 12. " The holders of Indian Government promissory notes are hereby informed that, from a n d a ft er December, 1858, interest on the promissory notes will be made payable, if desired at the East India house in London, by bills on demand on the gene. ral treasuries of Calcutta and Madras, subject to the rules and regulations at present in force, or that may hereafter be issued by the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for India, or by this Govern ment. " 2. When holders of notes in Calcutta desire that the interest thereon should be made payable by bills issued in London, they must present their notes at the office of the Accountant General to the Government of India, where an cnfacqment will be made on each of the notes in question as follows : " Interest payable in London by draught on Calcutta (or Madras, as the case may be.)

Extract from Minutes of Consultation transmitted by the Government of Madras, on the 15th May ; 1858, to the late Court of Directors of the East India Company : The Government express their unanimous, strong, and earnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com prehensive view of the wants of the country, may be deemed necessary to develop its undoubtedly great resources, be commenced at once boldly and on a large scale, be pressed forward throughout all times and under all circumstances, and be looked on, and be practically treated, as in fact they really are, as the most economical, because the most pro fitable, undertakings in which the Government could pos sibly engage. It is needless now again to bring forward the innumerable instances in which money has in the Pre sidency been most advantageously invested in irrigation works. The proceedings of Government have, in this re spect, been only too dsultory and vacillating, and it is confidently asserted that India could be placed in a position to pay all her own expenses, and gradually dis charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc tion.

His Excellency Sir John Bowring has been suf fering from severe illness, and it is expected that on the return of the Lieutenant-Governor, now absent on a trip up the coast, he will proceed to Manilla for the benefit of his health. This will probably cause a delay in the prosecution of one of Sir John's favourite schemes, the formation of a Freya, or sea-wall, road and frontage, which are much required for the health; safety, and adorn ment of the colony, but the construction of which is much opposed at present, partly for private reasons and partly on the ground that other public works are of more pressing necessity. The 7 ncrican colours, has been seized, on a char F ,c of dent, by the authorities at Macao; and various wild rumours are flying about as to the illegality of the seizure, and the probability of the representative of the United. States demanding indemnity and redre s. It hap pened that the governor of Macao was about to proceed up the coast on a trip at the time of the seizure, and this has been torturod into a proof that he wished to avoid the difficulty ; but we cannot learn that anything much out of the way has hap pened, or that, if there has been a mistake, it can not be rectified in the usual manner. The 59th Regiment has not yet left Hong Kong for the Cape, but it is expected to do so within a week, and in the Lord Raglan, which brought the Ist Royals here. As tenders are advertised for the removal of a number of invalids, it SCTMS that the hospital ship Belleisle will not be sent home at present, and it is likely that the lowest tender will be made by the steamer Princess Charlotte. The Cairngorm, Chieftain, Lammermoor, Morning Star, Friar Tuck, West Derby, and Warrior Queen have been despatched from Whampoa for London, and the Meliora, for Dublin. The joseph Fletcher has also been despatched from Shanghai for London. ARRIVAL OF PRINCE ALFRED AT MALTA. MALTA, DEC. 23. On Sunday, the 19th Dee., at 10 o'clock a.m., ll.M.'s steam frigate Euryalus, Capt. Tarleton, C. 8., on board of which H.R.H. Prince Alfred, second son of our gracious Sovereign Queen Vi: toria, is serving as a cadet, entered the grand har bour of La Valetta, under steam from Tangiers. Having saluted the flag of Admiral Fanshawr, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief, as she rounded St. Elmo Point, the salute was immediately returned by the ecrew line-of-battle ship Marlborough, and on I ass ing Fort St. Angelo a royal salute was fired from that fort. Off the Fair-weather Buoy the Euryalus was m_t by the Master-Attendant of the Malta yard, Mr. Mainprise, who piloted her to the buoy at the entrance of the Merchants'-creek, and even before the port officer on duty, Capt. Blenkinsopp, of the Marine Police, had admitted her to pratique, the veteran Lieut.-General commanding the fore( s, Sir J. Pennefather, attended by his staff, pulled alongside in his barge, and as soon as pratique was given, went on board to pay his respects to his Royal Highness, and to invite hun to an entertainment for the following evening. The invitation was graciously accepted, a:d the entertainment came off with great eclat,•hav:n3 been attended by all the elite of the garrison. It was generally supposed that his Royal Highness would land in the afternoon, throughout which the bastions were lined with anxious and loyal subjects of her Majesty, desirous of getting a glimpse of this Royal scion of Britain's Royalty. But their expectations were disappointed for that day by the hoisting on board the Euryalus the pendant for Divine service, usually performed, as was the case with the other ships, in the morning ; and later in the day a circular was issued by the Governor to the members of the Council, the Lord Bishop of Gibraltar, and the Right Rev. Bishop of Malta, her Majesty's judges, magistrates, heads of civil depart ments, the consuls for foreign powers, as also an order by the General to the military to assemble at the palace on the morning of yesterday. Accord ingly, on Monday morning, at the early hour of 8, the bastions were again lined, and soon after 10 the Vice-Admiral Commander-in-Chief and the Rear- Admiral Superintendent of the Malta Dockyard, attended by their respective staffs, and the captains and commanders of the several ships-of-war in port, assembled on board the Euryalus, and were pre sented to his Royal Highness. The Prince, accom panied by his governor, Major Cowell, R.E., shortly before 11 embarked in a barge, and between two lines of men-of-war boats, proceeded to the shore under the Royal salutes from the ships in port, which also manned yards, and Royal salutes from the garrison, and landed at the Custom-house, where a guard of honour from various regiments received him, and where he satered the Governor's carriage, with Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Pennefather, Major Cowe'l, and Captain Breq. Aide-de-Camp and Private - Simretary to the ,t.ievernar, ami drove off by tilt Calcara-gate to the Palace, esForted "by /he officers of the military staff on horseback, .and followed by the Naval Commander-in-Chief and Rear-Admiral Superintendent, with their staffs in carriages. On entering Porta Reale, as was also the case at the Marina, his Royal highness was loudly cheered by the assembled multitude, and on passing the Ca thedral of St. John, a merry peal of bells was rounded, in which all the other churches in the town joined. His Royal Highness seemed much pleased with his reception, and repeatedly took off his cap and gracefully bowed in acknowledgment of the salutations of the people. On St. George's square, opposite the Palace of the Knights, another guard of honour was in attendance, and at the foot of the principal staircase,amidst the thrilling sounds of the national anthem, his Excellency the Gover nor, with the two bishops, the military and civil chaplains (Protestant and Roman Catholic).and the chapters of the cathedral and collegiate churches of Valetta, the members of the council and her Ma jesty's judges, greeted and welcomed the young prince. The master of the ceremonies on the occa s:on, Lieut. Drake, R.E., ushered the prince into the reception room, attended by the governor, the gene rals, the admirals, and the distinguished personages above mentioned. The military were first pre sented. Then came the foreign consuls, who were severally introduced by the doyen of their body. - Then followed other presentations, accordin to rank and station. After ab ou t half an hour his Royal Highness left the palace in an open carriage accompanied by the Governor, Gen. Pennefather, and Major Cowell, and drove round the town and bastions to the Pieta. On returning to the palace the prince partook of a cold collation, which had been spread in the Hall of St. Micha(l and St. George. After lunch the prince proceeded with the Governor to his excellency's country residence in St. Antonio. At 4 o'cleck precisely, under royal salutes from the forts and shipping, the prince re embarked on board the Euryalus, with the same naval procession as on landing. On re-embarking, as he passed the Melita (screw steamer), which had just arrived from Liverpool, Capt. Langlands mustered all hands aft on the poop and shrouds, crave three loud cheers, and dipped the colours, which the prince courteously acknowledged. Prince Alfred was dressed in the simple uniform of a naval cadet. lle has a pleasing lively counte nance, and the family likeness to his royal mother is very striking. On Tuesday, the 21st, his Royal highness was entertained at dinner by. Admiral Fanshawe, and on Wednesday by'the Governor, after which Lady Le Marchant had an evening party at the Palace, which, as well as the whole of Strada Reale, was brilliantly illuminated in honour of the Prince. Over the facade of the main guard shone in con spicuous letters the words " Viva Alfredo." Danc ing was kept up to a late hour, in which the Prince joined, and did not retire until nearly midnight. On Thursday, the 23d, his Royal Highness visited the Opera, the app: °aches to which were illuminated. On Christmas-day he will dine on board the Euryalus with his messmates, and on Monday, the 27th, the British, foreign, and native merchants, and members of the Chamber of Com merce and Exchange, will give his Royal Highness a gr o a n n i d ,e b ed ball at at tthheei2rBs&l, Rear -Admiral c e od nt ri will entertain the Pri nce a t dinner, and inna to then evening Mrs. C o d r i ngton has issued' cards to all theli lleave e e f t o e r o the A f lex an d island r to iaonineet Wednesday,the Prince, The 2 N 9 v t ll i o . will T--- Cr- _HE .ORNET AND HIS SUBSTITUTE.—The Alloa Advertiser has the following story :—" About a year ago a young gentleman (the name is given by our contemporarY) was anxious to p rocure a commission in a regiment of Dra g_, oons, and not posse ss i ng those mental qualifications which the Commander-in-Chief now requires, procured a substi tute to pass the necessary examination. The substitute duly presented himself to the examiners in London, and received a first-class certificate, which was recorded in the name of the aspirant who had employed him, and in a month or two afterwards the latter was gazetted to a car netcy. The substitute for nearly ten months has boon harassing the young cornet, and procuring from him by large sums of money, till at last he was tunablehreats to meet e n x l p e o e s t ul t .e hes e inordinate demands, when, about a month ac , o, the substitute anonymously communicated the fact to Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Commander-in-Chief, who communicated with the officer, desiring to know the truth of the statements. The cornet was obliged to admit the fact, and has in consequence been remove d by her Majesty from the regiment, and the valuo ho paid for his commission has been forfeited to the Crown."
