Several telegrams have been received respecting the progress of events in India, one of which arrived at the Foreign-office yesterday afternoon, and appeared in our thud edition of last evening, together with the very interesting collection of despatches published in the latest Gazette. This day we give a telegram received by the East India Company at a late Lour last night, and add some others that have also come to hand. The chief feature in the new intelligence, which covers dates from Bombay to the 9th January instant, relates to a victory obtained by Sir JAMES Otrrizsir over the rebels, in the vicinity of Alumbagh, on the 22d December. It appears that the gallant General took the initiative, and, having attacked the enemy, speedily dispersed them, and captured four guns, with but little loss on his own wide. Such a proceeding may be in accordance with a strictly defensive position, such as Sir jimEs . ° l3l 'R4}e was directed to maintain. The teat would be, 'whether the great point of defence lihic h he was bound to protect could be in any degree imperilled by the movement ? If not, ho was, of course, justified in acting according to hi.; own discretion... Sir Hu Ron had marched from Indore to relieve Bangor, and was expected to reach Sedoa ou the 10th instant. The population of Indore fully restored. had been disarmed, and tranquillity .The Punjaub and &dude were all quiet, but st rong suspicions were entertained of the Xhota . poor Rajah's movemcnt3. It would is eei , difficult to understand how any person should now irrevocably connect himself with a des perate cause. Experience, however, proves that all ordinary calculations are defeated by the movements of natives. They hold back when . there might be some ground for antic:- tersipbra,ry triumph; but when Lll is hopeless then they have plunged recklessly into the vortex. tore. On the 12th inst. Sir COLIN CAMPBELL had marched towards Furruckabad, intending to pro ceed from thence to Agra. Brigadier WALPOLM had also proceeded towards Calpee, Mawah, anii Agra ; while Brigadier CHAMBERLAIN was ope rating in liohilcund, intending afterwards to join Sir COLIN,. at Agra. It will thus be seen that three distinct columns are scouring the cluntry in all directions, which will subsequently be united at Agra, to be in readinesi for any service that MOT be deemed expedient. Colonel SEATO had reoccupied Mynpoorie on the 27th December, ..,;41- ea ted the rebels, and cap- ' h av i ng previously Lured six guns. The despatches, respecting the recent events at Cawapore, are of a peculiarly interesting and im portant character. We have t h e e xp lanations g iven by Generals WINDHAM and DUPUIS, and the un equivocal defeat sustained by the former, which materially endangered the position at Cawnpore, and rendered a second massacre by no means im possible. We have also two despatches from Sir Comar himself. The first, referring, in some degree, to that of his subordinate, of which he clearly disapproves, although that disapproval is perceptible rather from what he leaves unsaid than from what he actually says. General WINDHAM clearly condemns himself. It requires no further statement to show that he not only exceeded, but acted in direct opposition to his instructions. The significant reticence of Sir CoraN shows that he at once perceived the mistake committed, which rendered it unnecessary for him to make a direct complaint. He also took care in the subsequent proceedings to keep his second in command in the back ground, where if he could not do much good he could not do much mischief. The posts of honour and of , danger were filled by men on whom the Comman der-in-Chief had reason to know he could impli citly depend for faithfully and efficiently carrying , out his instructions, without endangering the success of the entire movement in the attempt to win undue laurels for themselves. It was generally rumoured that Gen. WIND IMAM'S instructions were to remain strictly on the ldefensive, keeping particularly in view the safety of the bridge of boats by which the communica tions with the main body under Sir COLLN were to be maintained, and the safety of the fugitives ensured. His own statements show that this was the case. Were it otherwise he would not have made the abortive attempts at explanation. "Having received information of the Gwalior Contingent, but none for several days from Lucknow, in answer to my letters to the chief of the staff, I was obliged to act for myself." On this Sir Comx simply and briefly remarks that General WLNDHA3I'S complaint of not receiv ing instructions is explained by the fact of the letters which he sent announcing the approach of the Gwalior force not having I come to hand. The first notice of the embarrass ment was the distant sound of the cannonade. But, to place the question beyond all doubt, General WINDHAM himself repeats his instructions, and attempts to show that ho conformed there with. He says—" In retiring within the en trenchments I followed the general instructions issued to me by your Excellency through the Chief of the Staff—namely, to preserve the safety of the bridge over the Ganges, and my communi cations with your force, so severely engaged in the important operation of the relief of Lucknow. As far as possible I strictly adhered to the defensive." In fact, he fancied he was wiser than his commander, and fondly hoped that he would have a Gazette of his own, in which he should rival the lamented HAVELOCK, whom he was not permitted to supersede. He ought under almost any circumstances to have awaited a decided answer to his communica tions with the Commander-in-Chief before disre garding his instructions. But that did not suit his book. To stand on the defen sive may be very useful—a most important link iu the great chain of operations, but it was not sufficiently brilliant for the dashing guards man. He thought he could defeat the advanced division, and that it would strike terror into the enemy, but he did not calculate on meeting with so serious a rebuff ; which completely turned the tables. There is an unworthy sneer at Brigadier WIL SON who fell so gallantly at the head of his regi ment. General WINDIIAM says, Brigadier WIL SON thought proper, prompted by zeal for the service, to lead his regiment against four guns placed in front of Brigadier CAR THEW. In this daring exploit he lost his life, together with several valuable and able officers." This is plainly an attempt to find a scapegoat for his own errors, and one which, we suspect, will not prove very successful. The whole mull may be described, in the words of Sir CoLIN—" All this appeared to be dis astrous enough, and the next day the city was found to be in the possession of the enemy at all points." We cannot enter into the exploits of Sir COLIN when he arrived, which will be found in every way worthy of his ancient reputation, and descry- Lig of the high eulogiunis bestowed on it by the Governor-General. The emancipation of the Press in British India from the temporary thraldom to which it has been unconstitutionally subjected by Lord CANNING and his coadjutors, in the Council at Calcutta, is, we take it, the first duty incumbent upon the House of Commons immediately upon the reas sembling of Parliament. A proceeding so dis graceful ought not to be tolerated beyond the in terval occupied by the non-sitting of the Legisla- If for nothing else, fur this, at any rate, the present Governor-General not only deserves, but absolutely demands, severe and instant reprehension. His policy, in regard to the Press, is beyond the reach of any possible justification. As we observed yesterday, it is an admitted principle of the law of England, in regard to the freedom of public and printed discussion, that no circumstances can by possibility arise by which the subjection, of the Press, once again to the- auparviaion of a censor ship, could be viewed as in any way admitting of justification. It has been so considered ever since the Freedom of the Press was at length practically and substantially and permanently secured to Englishmen, towards the close of the last century, thanks to the energetic and patriotic resolution of the Right Hon. CHARLES Fox, the then leader of his MAJESTY'S Opposition. The determination of that great man then, at last, so signally triumphed, that in the very teeth of a Tory Government, the long coveted boon was acquired, and acquired completely. Then, but not effectu ally till then, England enjoyed in truth the price less advantages of free printing—printing o f whi ch M. GUIZOT has written in his literar y masterpiece, the " Hi s t o ry of Civilisation" — the them e of Bo much declamation and so many corn c°lnin"luaedeit no is r this any declamation can over ex . 111°11- Places, but th e merit an d effects o f w hi c h no ldiaivlm ust." of our libertiPs meAtin" ANC% a i s i hle boon, this pall a was aptly designated by Si r P HILLIP FR wantonly ravished from.) t that Lord C ANNING h a s the possession of BrLish subjects in Hindostan at a J a free press were d es i rablein T n t a u .l re when, if e ve r, at this pre c i se moment—the a, it is assuredly in the history o f the great Asiatic turning point P ' It is not, we are b o ld to affirm e , 4lnsula ; respect whatever extrava gan t to declare that "- dare that the recent decision of the Council at Calcutta (bring ing the journalism of British India uuder the influence of a new and a rigid censorship) takes us back in imagination at a single bound to the decision of the Star Chamber in the July of 1637, when that despotic Court decreed, among other trifles, that—there should be no more than twenty master printers, besides those of his MAJuSTY and the two Universities ; that no printer should have more than two presses and two apprentices ; that there should be no more than four letter founders allowed, cum cateris paribus. In regard to which atrocious act of tyranny one of our historians and certainly not the least sagacious among their num ber, to wit, LINGtA RD, has remarked that " a more effectual scheme to enslave the press could not be devised." The present Governor-General of India has apparently studied the records of RUSHWORTH to some puipose. The Council at Calcutta under his benignant auspices is modestly but effectively emulating in the reign of Queen VICTORIA the notorious Court of the Star Chamber in the days of our first King CHARLES. Insomuch that we may here, at this moment, pertinently echo the query appended to that comment of the national annalist—" But whence did this Court derive the power to make such a regulation ?" Whence, in deed, and at what time, and under what circum stances, was this enormous authority delegated to the Council at Calcutta ? An authority upon the exercise of which no Administration in this country—however rashly daring—would have presumed for a single instant to have adventured. The legality of the course thus pursued, in a matter of this vital import, Lord CANNING and his colleagues in Hindostan, is precisely what we would now have at once boldly discussed and clearly and definitively ascer tained by the Imperial Legislature.

The Mayor and Corporation of the borough of Windsor waited upon Prince and Princess Frederick William of Prussia yesterday at Windsor Castle, and presented an address of congratulation to their Royal Highnesses upon their Marriage. The Queen, the Prince Consort, with the Prince and Princess Frederick William of Prussia, left Windsor Castle shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Her Majesty was accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Princes Arthur and Leopold, the Princesses Alice, Helena, Louisa, and Beatrice, and the Duke of Saxe Coburg. In attendance were—the Countess of Desart, Lady Churchill, Lady Caroline Barrington, the Hon. Caroline Cavendish, the Hoc. Flora Macdonald, Lord de Tabley, Colonel the Hon. A. N. Hood, Sir Frederick Stovic, Colonel the Hon. Charles B. Phipps, Major- General the Hon. C. Grey, Lord Alfred Paget, Lieut.- Colonel Ponsonby, and Mr. Gibbs. The Queen was received at the railway station of the Great Western Railway by a Guard of Honour of the Scots Fusilier Guards, and the band played the national anther* upon her Majesty's arrival. The Queen went in State in the evening to honour the performance of her Majesty's Theatre with her presence. _ _ _ The Royal Procession left Buckingham Palace at 25 minutes past 7 o'clock in 11 dress carriages, escorted by a detachment of Life Guards. The Yeomen of the Guard lined the Grand Hall, and a Guard of Honour mounted in the Quadrangle of the Palace, the band playing the national anthem when her Majesty appeared at the entrance. The Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, Prince Arthur, and the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa, attended by Lady Caroline Barrington, Major-General the Hon. C. Gray, Mr. Gibbs, and Lieutenant Cowell, preceded the Queen to the theatre. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent {attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson and Sir j George Couper), their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary, and the Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, met the Queen at the theatre. Her Majesty wore a white silk dress, with flounces brocaded with gold branches and roses, trimmed with• blonde, a diamond necklace and earrings. The Queen's headdress was a diadem of diamonds and feathers. The Princess Frederick William of Prussia wore a dress of light blue tulle over blue silk, trimmed with white blonde, a large diamond brooch with pendants, a necklace and earrings of diamonds. _ Her Royal HithEess wore a wreath of sweet peas as a headdress. The Duchess of Kent wore a dress of white moire an tique, trimmed with white blonde, tulle, and satin riband. Her Royal Highness's headdress was formed of white ostrich feathers, with roses. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a dress of white silk, with three flounces embroidered with gold ; a sapphire necklace and ornament. Her Royal Highness's headdress was composed of a small tiara of diamonds and white feathers. The Princess Mary of Cambridge wore a white silk dreks with three flounces, trimmed with light blue terry velvet, a diamond stomacher, a diamond necklace and earrings. The Princess's headdress was formed of a tiara of diamond stars, blue flowers, and brown leaves. PRINCE FREDERICK ALBERT or PRUSSIA.—MAN CHESTER, Friday.—His Royal Highness Prince Frede rick Albert of Prussia, who arrived here yesterday afternoon, with a small suite, from Belvoir Castle, the seat of the Duke of Rutland, has since paid a hurried visit to three of the principal manufactories in this city. His Royal Highness took his departure this morning for Eaton Hall, the seat of the Marquis of Westmin ster, whence he will proceed to Bangor, to inspect the tubular bridges. Thence he will go to Birmingham, returning from that town direct t.) London, in order that he may leave for the Continent, and be at Berli❑ in time to receive the Prince and Princess Frederick Wil liam of Prussia on their entry into that capital. THE VICEREGAL COURT AT DUBLIN.—This institution appears to be in a highly flourishing state, notwithstane. ing the recent attacks made on it in the House of Commons. The Irish " Court Circular," published in the Dablin papers of yesterday, contains an account of Lord Carlisle's drawing-room, held on the previous evening, and, printed as the Royal Court Circular is in our pages to-day, would extend over six of our columns. Three columns are devoted to descriptions of the ladies' dresses. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of Athol: visited the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. The visitors were accom panied through the establishment by Capt. Orr, captain instructor of the laboratory ; Major Vandeleur, captain instructor of the gun factories ; and Mr. Anderson, inspector of machinery, who pointed out and explained the various objacts of intere , t, including the new brass field-piece, gun and limber carriage, &c., just completed, and intended as a present to the Emperor of the French. MR. BRIGHT, M.P.—We believe that, according to his present intention, Mr. Bright will proceed to London, so as to take his seat in parliam en t, ear l y in the week ' after next. —Manchester Guardian. The report of the Electric and International Tele graph Company, preparatory to their meeting on the 4th of February, shows an available balance of 29,3231., out of which a distribution is recommended at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, leaving 7401. to be carried to the reserve fund. PREFERMENT.—The President and Fellows of Mag dalen College, Oxford, have presented the Rev. Henry Harris, 8.8., Fellow, Tutor, and Dean of Divinity in that society, to the living of Winterbourne Bassett, near Swindon, Wilts. The rectory is of the value of 034/. per annum, with a population of 289. SIR JOHN SOANE'S MUSEUM.—The trustees give notice that the museum, 13, Lincoln'-inn-fields, will be open this season, as usual, on the Tuesday in each week, from the 2d of February to the 31st of August, and likewise on Thursdays and Fridays in April, May, and June. Cards of admission to view the same are to be ebtamtd on written application to the curator, at the Museum, or to either of the trustees. FAVOURABLE RESULTS OF IRISH RECRUITING.—A. statement of the number of recruits from Ireland shows w little the feelings expressed by the Nation news paper are shared by the people. During the last fent. months the number of recruits enlisted in the northern district, of which Belfast is the head quarters, was as follows :—Sept., 221 ; Oot., 229 ; Nov., 395 ; Dec., 253 ; total, 1,098, or an average per month of 274. In the part of this month which has elapsed the recruiting parties have been equally successful. MINES.—A fresh impetus has been given to the Mining Market this week by the rise in copper and tin, and the demand for shares has been almost unprece dented. This we foretold some weeks ago, when the mareet was unduly depressed, and it was evident a reaction was near at hand. In addition to the improved tone given to the market by the rise in metals, money is daily getting cheaper and more abundant, with greatly restricted means for employing it. The funds are con sidered too high, hanks are not in favour, and as there are no mining companies on the Stock Exchange now to foster speculation, and end in the ruin caused l y the late mania in them, the attention of its members is properly turned to bona fide English mines ; moatthus , have a d v a e il i y s in e fi e r e e u a t i u n u g demand is spzinging up, which prices rendesr it ainumber. difficultto obtain shares in limitedmines and to aml Another effect of this demand will soon be evident ; we shall have a host of new mining companies, with tempting baits for specu'atovr, and it behoves, there fore, every agent who has the welfare of legitimate mining at heart, to look well into the merits of all the \n f e irno w trari u nat d ice er vb t a a elsu k e ings they report upon ; and it will also be well for the public to make proper inquiries before b eing led away by captivating addresses.

In the course of the discussion, the fact that the Queen had actually signed a decree for the dissolution of the Cortes at the request of the late cabinet, though tho document was not acted cn, was confirmed. It was believed that the cabinet would be left at liberty to act as it might think fit in the question of the press, and that the administrative bills which have been S 3 much talked of will not be presented this session. THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER TEE EMPEROR O THE FRENCH. - - The following article appears in yesterday's Moniteur:— The criminal attempt of Jan. 14 has had results very different from those which its authors expected ; it has only served to consolidate what they wished to destroy. The universal horror it excited has been followed every where by the most striking manifestations on behalf of the Emperor and the Empress. The people, the national guard, the army, all classes of the nation, have joined the great bodies of the state in the express'on of the same sentiments. It may be said that all Europe has shared is them. All the sovereigns have hastened to send illustrious persons from their courts to convey their congratulations to the Emperor and the Empress ; the cities most important for their trade and population have not been willing to remain behind ; and that nothing might be wanting in this concert of demonstra tions, the press of every country has passed the same judgment on the crime and its c insequences. After the evident protection with which Providence has covered the lives of their Majesties, nothing could be at the same time more consolatory and reassuring than thus to behold :,11 hearts and all the arms of a great na tion gathering around its sovereign, and lavishing upon him the most incontestable demon , trations of their love and fidelity, both towards him and his race ; for the manifestations of which the Emperor and Empress are everywhere the object are not directed solely to the persons of their Majesties—they are addressed to the dynasty and imperial family—they are addressed to that child of France, whose birth has been hailed even in the remotest hamlets as the pledge of the country's security and future welfare. " Shorad I fall the empire would be yet further strengthened by my ehath, for the indignation of the people and army would be a new support for the throne of my son," These memorable words of the Emperor at the opening of the legislative session have found their echo in every heart ; this thought is reflected in all the addresses, especially in these of the army. The army— that faithful guardian of our institutions—in its noble frankness, declares that it has not merely taken the oath of fidelity to the Emperor, but to the Empire al'eo, to the Emperor's son and his dynasty, and that it will defend them, as it now defends the august chief, who restored to it its eagles and it glory. Therefore, Napoleon I. was right in raying that, if he bad been his own grandson, he would have risen *wain from the foot of th e Py renees . W e k no w by what signal manifestation those prophetic words have been realised. Notwithstanding the time that has elapsed since the fail of the imperial throne, France did not become mistress of herself until she hastened to restore it, and to place upon it the Emperor's heir. And it is not in France alone that the imperial throne rests upon the public consent. The whole of Europe, which formerly leagued to overthrow it, sees in it now the firmest guarantee I r her own tranquility and prosperity. She had not waited for the explosion of the late crime to display her sentiments. The reception which the Emperor has received from all classes of the population in his journeys to England and Germany is a proof of this, which cannot be gainsayed. Again,t such unison on the part of sovereigns and their peoples, what can the sect of demagogues, with its cut-throats, do ? Do those who put weapons into the hands of a few maniacs think they can gain the sympa ties of France by end avouring to strike her to the heart? The object of fereign assassins is to overthrow order in Frarxe in order to revolutioniA Europe. If they can have flattered themselves with any such illusion, the effect produced by their late attempt must have opened their eyes. They ought to be convinced that order in France does not rest on one single head, however firm that head may be ; and that the abettors of the crime, had they succeeded, would have strengthened the em pire, and would have been nest in all civilised countries with nothing but public execration.

PARIS, FRIDAY. The Emptror yesterday received autograph let ters of congratulation on his late escape from the Pope, the King of Bavaria, the Queen of Spain, and from the Prince Regent of Sweden. The Em peror has also received an autograph letter to the same effect from Queen Isabella. _ _ . A very numerous and highly respectable meet ing of Americans was held this afternoon in the Hotel du Louvre to express their sentiments on the recent atrocious attempt to assassinate the Emperor of the French. The Hon. John Wethered, ex member of the United States Congress, was called to the chair, and in a few observations he explained the object of the meeting. Mr. Pills, of Louisiana, then proposed, and Mr. Prescott, of Boston, seconded, the following resolutions :- 1 " Whereas by the constitution of the United States, the conduct of our relations with foreign Governments is confided to the President of the United States, we, as citizens of the United States now assembled, disclaimed all inclination of pur pose to interfere with the Executive of our coma ; ,try in the discharge of his duties :- 1 "And whereas, while temporarily sojourning in Paris, an attempt has been made to assassinate their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of th 3 French, and that by means which necessarily endangered the lives of many of both sexes and of all ages, against whom the murderers could have had no cause of " And whereas, Americans regard with horror the crime of assassination and such diabolical at tempts to commit it. "Resolved, that we have heard with detestation of the attempt made on the 14th inst. to destroy the lives of the reigning Emperor and Empress of the French. " Resolved, that we express our felicitations at the escape which, under Providence, has been ac corded to their Majesties from the terrible danger to which they were exposed. " Resolved, that the chairman of this meeting be requested to communicate these resolutions, so that they may be made known to their Majesties." These resolutions having been put from the chair were adopted unanimously, and the chairman signed them. The meeting then broke up. Letters to 15th Nov. have been received," says the Univers, " from Southern India, adjoining China. The intelligence from Cochin China and Tonquin is most afflicting, the persecutions against the Christians being as violent as in the very worst times.- The Annamite government had instituted in the capital a high court charged with the direc tion of proceedings against persons of the Christian persuasion. A great number of individuals de nounced as suspected, had been subjected to the most cruel tortures for not making known the residence of the missionaries, which, in most cases, they were quite ignorant of. The country besides was in the greatest disorganisation, and bands of pillagers from China were ravaging the country."

The fourth and last of the festival performances, in honour of the nuptials of the Princess .Royal with the Prince Frederick William of Prussia, took place yesterday evening at Her Majesty's Theatre. The house was decorated very much in the same style as on the former occasions, and had a gay and striking aspect.. On the panels of the second-tier boxes, immediately fronting the stage, were in scribed in golden letters, upon a crimson ground, the words "May Heaven bless them," an aspira tion intended no doubt for the royal bride and bridegroom. Her Majesty's box was draped very tastefully in crimson and blue velvet, the canopy being surmounted with the arms of England and Prussia. At the base of the royal box, on either side, a " beef-eater," whose appearance justified the appelatiotz, kept watch and ward during the whole performance, and two other of these officials wore stationed respectively on the right and the left of the proscenium. Tile Prince of Wales, the Princess Alice, and the rest of the royal children, occupied a box directly in front of the stage, and consequently at some dis tance from their august parents. Precisely at half-past seven o'clock the Queen and the Prince Consort, and Prince Frederick Wil liam of Prussia and his royal bride, attended by the Court, entered the theatre, and were received with cordial acclamations. The Queen wore a tiara of diamonds, the Prin cess Royal a wreath of white and red roses. The curtain then rose, and discovered the whole corps dramatis uc upon tho stage. The ladies were all dressed iu white. The National Anthem was sung with fine effect, Madame Clara Novello tak ing the solo parts. The additional verses by the Poet Laureate vr - Te given with suitable fervour of expression, and elicited enthusiastic applause. Solo—Madame Clara Novella. God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen ; God save the Queen. Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen. Additional verses, by Mr. Alfred Tennyson, Poet Laureate : Chorus. God bless our Prince and Bride ! God keep their lands allied ! God save the Queen ! Clothe them with righteousness I Crown them with happiness Them with all blessings bless GM save the Queen ! Solo—Madame Clara Novello. Fair fall this hallow'd hour ! Farewell, our England's flower ! God save the Queen ! Farewell, fair Rose of May ! Let both the people say, " God bless thy marriage-day ;" God bless the Queen ! Tho performance was as follows : THE RIVALS. Sir Anthony Absolute Mr. Chippendale. Captain Absolute Mr. W. Farren. FauWand Mr. Howe. Acres Mr. Mickstone. Sir Lucius O'Trigger Mr. Hudson. Fag Mr. Clarke. David Mr. Keeley. Lydia Languish Mrs. Malaprop Mrs. Poynter. Julia Lucy Mrs. E. Fitz williarn. THE SPITALFIELDS WEAVER. Characters by Messrs. Dfilington, Wright, Selhy, and Mi4l Arden. The comedy lost nothing of its attraction by the manner of its representation. The actors were all " up" in their respective parts, and played with excellent spirit and effee. The most finished per formance was undoubtedly that of Mr. Buckstone, whose very name, like the cashier's signature to a Bank of England note, is sufficient guarantee for the genuine fun and humour that he infused into " Bob Acres." His drollery shed merriment like sunshine through the whole house, and not only provoked hearty laughter in the royal box—greatest triumph of all—it proved too much for the gravity of the beef-eaters, who were compelled to relax their statuesque rigidity, and to laugh like less dignified mortals. The entertainments were over shortly after 11 o'clock, and the royal party were much cheered as they retired. The house was thronged with a very brillian . audience. Tirn rl2uxqi,4N ALLIANCE. The union of the Princess Royal with the heir to the Prussian Crown, is naturally looked upon by our foreign contemporaries as an event of some political importance. A Paris correspondent of the Nord, in reference to this subject, says '"Certain journals affect to see in this alliance of two royal families of England and Prussia the germ of a triple Anglo-German alliance destined to counterbalance that of Russia and France. That such a chimerical notion should becomo a reality, it would be necessary, that the relations between England and France on the one part, and Prussia and Russia on the other, should be materially altered. But what is certain at this moment is, that these relations have never been better than at present. I will go further, I will say that the relations between England and Russia, which until lately have not been all that could have been desired, are now as satisfactory as possible, and I can oven assure you—and you know I am not accustomed to make assertions on slight grounds— that before very long these relations will bo re established on a footing of cordiality, much to the common benefit of the two nations and tue peace and prosperity of Europe. To the Emperor Na poleon is to be ascribed a large share in this happy result, to which his benevolent efforts have so power fully contributed. Far from seeing in the union of the Houses of Prussia and England a symptom of a division among the great Powers on a revival of an old European balance, which, as a policy, has served its day, I find in it the germs of a durable good intelligence between all the great States, and advantageous for all." The St. Petersburg correspondent of the same journal says : _ _ " Two Years ago the English journals frequently attacked the policy of Prussia. Since then the relations between the two Powers have been en tirely modified. The recent alliance between the Houses of Prussia and Great Britain is looked upon as a new bond of friendship uniting the two great nations. The marriage of the nephew of the King of Prussia with the eldest daugh er of the Queen of England satisfies not only the desires of the two royal families, but also the wishes of the two nations. We sea the proof of this in the tone adopted in reference to this subject in the Prussian and English press. " The best relations of neighbourhood and con sanguinity have never ceased to reign between Prussia and Russia. On the other hand, the com mune between England and Russia is too important for both countries, that with us (in Russia) as well, that we should not regard with pleasure these frank and loyal advances between the policy of England and the pacific policy of Prussia." THE NEW CLASSICAL EXAMINER FOR ARMY COMM/S. SIONS.—The Rev. Nicholas Pocock, M.A., and late Michel Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford, has been appointed by his Royal Highness the Commander-in- Chief examiner in cla2sics for candidates for commissions at the Horse Guards.

He was for several years chaplain of hiss college, and one of the pro-proctors of the University in 1 1342, and has twice filled the office of exa m i ner in the mathematical schools, viz,, from 1844 to 1846, and a g ain from 1848 to 1850.
