" 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. 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, Dee.

No wonder they charge so much for transit over:the Panama Railroad I It is said that as many he men beings died in the course of its construction, while working on it, as there are sleepers beneath its rails between Panama and Aspinwall. Arriving at Aspinwall, I em barked on the " Northern Light," and in a few days I landed at New York, steaming past Cuba and the Bahama Islands on my way. It was my intention to procure a theatre and perform in New York immediately, but no house being vacant, I proceeded at once to Boston, and securing the Academy of Music there—by the way, one of the most commodious and most comfortable theatres I have seen—gave my performance of magic every night for a month, and then produced " Rob Roy," in a style which seemed to astonish the natives of New England. Leaving Boston I paid a flying visit to New Bedford, the home of the American whale-fishers ; a pretty town of which it may be truly said that the houses are built of whalebone on foundations of blubber, cemented with sperm oil. Here I played at a theatre which is not a theatre ; in other words, it is a theatre which the New Bedferdites will not call a theatre. They call it Liberty Hall, though to all intents and purposes it is a playhouse; but as Liberty Hall they patronize it. From New Bedford, I returned to New York, and was fortunate enough to secure possession for three weeks of the Winter Garden, the most eligible and one of the most commodious theatres in the metropolis of the United States. You will observe that it is called a " garden," not a theatre, but as they cull within its walls many of the choicest flowers of British dramatic literature, the name may net be so inappropriate. My three weeks at the Winter Garden was even more of a success than any of my previous suc cesses since leaving England. It was a "sensation," as they term it here, which astonished even sensational New York. Every night before the curtain rose, a board had to be put out in front, with the words painted on it--" Stan ding room only ;" and every night more money was pre sented at the doors than my money-takers could take, every inch of seat-room being already occupied. lam using no exaggeration but simply stating that which the reports in all the journals of New York will confirm when I say that, since the Winter Garden has been built, no such season of three weeks has been known within its walls. My desire waste continue in New York, but I had no op. portunity for doing so. The theatre had been pre-engaged by Mr. Barney Williams, and at the expiration of my three weeks I had to vacate. 'lt was very much against the grain to do so. The tide was with me, and I wished to take it that it might flow on to fortune. My wish was impotent; there was no other theatre to which I could or would go, and therefore I left New York, resolving to return to it again, and re-appear at the Winter Garden with more wealth of magic than I have displayed there already. I regretted leaving for another reason, that being the expected arrival of the Prince of Wales. I knew how great a reception he would get from the American people ; I knew that, as the son of Queen Victoria, he would be received with acclaim and greeted with enthusiasm ; I knew that it would be an inspiriting sight to a Scotchman to see the Lord of the Isles, Baron Renfrew, entertained by the citizens of democratic New York, and therefore I wished to remain and witness it; but fate willed it otherwise, and I had to leave for Phila delphia, from which city I now write to you. Here, how ever, I have had a chance of seeinghis Royal,Highness, and knowing how interested every one at home must be in the progress of the heir apparent through these Transatlantic lands, I am induced to believe that a few hastily-written lines from one who is on the spot, reporting how the Prince has been received, may be as useful to you as they may prove interesting to your readers. At the same time, I send you cuttings from various American papers, informing you of more than I have time to write. Possibly the papers themselves may not fall in your way, and therefore the ex tracts I enclose may be of service. It has been very curious to notice the interest that has been taken in all the movements of the Prince ever since he landed en American soil. Even while in Canada, and be fore then, when in New Brunswick and Prince Edward's Island, his daily doings were chronicled in the New York Herald in the most amusing away. What time he rose, what he had for breakfast, what sort of pen he wrote with, which way he brushed his hair, what was the pattern of his cravat, and what the size of his pocket handkerchief, how many cigars he smoked, and how many young ladies he looked at, were all matters of sufficient importance to the great American public to be transmitted for their delectation along hundreds of miles of telegraph wire to the office of the New York Herald. The enterprise of that journal in all matters relative to the Prince of Wales has been most surprising. As an illustration of it take the following story which I believe is entirely true and well known to the press of New York. The Prince was about to visit Niagara Falls, and all the New York papers were alike anxious to give an early report of his visit, descriptive of how he liked the Falls, how the Falls looked when irradiated by the presence of royalty, how fast the water rushed on that particular day, how the Prince enjoyed himself, whether he was wetted with the spray, whether he whistled the air of Henry Rus sell's " Mighty Niagara," or recited to his Grace of New castle the verses of Charles Mackay, and other such edi fying and mighty informative information. The Times wanted to be first in its report, so did the Tribune, but the Herald, with its elephantine might, determined that none of ites contemporaries should make so much capital of the Prince as it intended to do itself. Mr. House was at Nia gara ready to report proceedings to Mr. James Gordon Ben nett, the proprietor of the Herald at New York. The Prince had not arrived, and there was a chance of the Times or Tribune getting possession of the wires before the Herald. In his perplexity, Mr. House flashed along a mes sage to Mr. Bennett, asking him what he was to do in order to keep the wires open. "Telegraph me the Book of Genesis" was the response. That was done. Still the report of the Prince was not ready. " What am I to do now ?" asked Mr. House. " Telegraph the Book of Revelation all the way through," replied Mr. Bennett; and the clerks turned to the end of the Bible, and telegraphed accord ingly. In the office of the Net& York Herald are the two Books of Holy Writ as this telegraphed. The first time, I suppose, that ever a chapter of the Scriptures was sent along a wire. The telegraphing of the Book of Genesis alone cost, I believe, 700 dollars. From this you may judge of the excitement the Prince of Wales has caused, and the importance which Americans attach to his visit. No such chronicler has Prince or Potentate had before since the world began. Xenophon has done much to immortalize Cyrus, Johnson lives in the pages of Boswell, and the Prince of Wales, Albert Edward, is for ever photographed by Jenkins. No more cordial greeting could her Majesty's son have experienced had he gone amongst the most aristocratic of people. Had he visited this country in his princelyposition instead of simply as Baron Renfrew, he would have been re ceived with more show, but, certainly, with not more cor diality nor more respectful esteem. Understanding the de mocratic character of the population, he has fraternized amongst them with the utmost bonhemme, preserv ing _. geniality of deportment without sacrifice to dignity.

RETURN OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. (FROM THE TIMES' SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) HER MAJESTY'S SHIP ARIADNE, PLYMOUTH, Nov. 15. After a dull and tedious voyage of nearly 27 days, his Royal Highness and suite completed their long American tour, and landed in England again to day. The length to which the voyage from Port land has been protracted—a length only equalling the average winter passages of sailing ships—may probably have given rise to apprehensions in the public mind as to the "rose and expectancy of this fair State" being buffeted about in all directions by the rudest of rude storms. For the romance of the delay, however, I am almost sorry to say there was but little of this. Few winter passages across the North Atlantic have lasted so long in which the ships have fallen in with so few storms or heavy seas. It was especially desired to make a quick passage-14 days was the outside spoken of at Port land—but there was nothing but a long gloomy average of fogs and head winds, relieved now and then by a gale in the opposite direction to that in which the ships were going, and in contending against which that insatiable monster of the deep —leeway—soon swallowed up the fruits of previous days' hard steaming, and left the squadron to begin de novo with increased impatience but diminished coal. To this and other causes must be ascribed the reason why Albert Edward was the first Prince of Wales who ever spent his birthday knocking about the Channel in a south-easterly gale, and to the same reason, I suppose, we must ascribe it that the Hero, the crack steam line-of-battle ship in the English Navy, made, on the whole, rather a poor passage for a sailing New York trader. I say the Hero made a bad passage, for the Ariadne could have been in England in less than 12 days had it been required ; but whether the Hero went fast or went slow (the latter was the rule), her consort was bound to keep her company, and it necessitated almost as much work on the part of her crew in shortening sail to keep behind the flagship as it would to have accomplished one of the fastest passages ever made by any frigate in the service. It is now very nearly a month since I closed my last letter, detailing the progress of his Royal High ness through the United States. Scarcely anything remains to add to that transient record save his arrival and embarkation at Portland, and having followed his Royal Highness throughout "unto this last," a few words more will suffice to bring to a conclusion the narrative of the first great public colonial visit ever made by a Prince of Wales. The good citizens of Portland seemed, on the whole, to be rather disappointed that the Prince could make no formal visit to their town, and that it was merely used, in fact, as a port for embarka tion. It was only doing justice to their hospitality to state that they left no effort untried which could induce his Royal Highness to extend this part of the programme into a more lengthened visit, and in the hope that they might be successful they had arranged a little series of excursions and fetes for their illustrious visitor, which by dint of early rising and late travelling might possibly have been got through in a week. But the fiat had gone forth that the Prince would embark on the 20th, and so, as on every other occasion of this long and varied tour, the programme was adhered to, to the day, the hour, and the minute. It must have been almost a painful office for those intrusted to carry out these arrangements on the route to have to refuse these continual kind offers of respect and welcome which were pressed upon the Royal party at every town through which they passed. They were refused, however ; had they not been, the Prince could scarcely have got through his tour in less than 12 months. So Portland, like the rest, had to remain contented with its good intention➢, and expend its hospitality on the officers of the Royal squadron, to whom before the arival of the Prince a magnificent Ball was given, and every possible kindness and attention shown during their short stay. There were the same scenes of enthusiasm in Boston on the day of the Prince's departure as on his arrival, only differing in character. It was less a welcome than :a kind and regretful farewell. On this day, as on all the days during the Prince's visit to this fine old city, the English and American flags were intertwined over the monument erected to commemorate the battle of Bunker's-hill. Long after the train had left Boston this great column could be seen with its rival banners for the first time floating together over the emblem of bygone strife. At Portland there was no formality about the reception, The people were out in thousands, cheering and de lighted—kind and respectful as everywhere, quite content if they only saw the Prince, and knew that he in turn saw and appreciated their welcome. There was a short drive made round the town, and then the party went to lunch at the Prebble house, for there was much leave-taking to be gone through and kind Canadian friends to bid fare well. Mr. Rose, of whom all had so many warm recollections, was there, with Mr. Cartier, the Prime Minister, the Mayor of Montreal, and the leading gentlemen connected with the series of superb entertainments which that great capital of Canada gave the Prince. There were gentlemen too from Halifax and New Brunswick, Quebec and Toronto, London, and Hamilton. All who had been in any way concerned in the magnificent dis plays and receptions of the great Canadian colonies were waiting to wish his Royal High ness a happy voyage back, and take a kind leave of their young visitor, 'who on that soil will al ways be remembered with pride and affection. A little before 3 o'clock his Royal Highness left the hotel to embark. Nearly two months previous it had been arranged that the departure should take place from Portland at 3 p.m. on the 20th of October. "The day and the hour" had come, and, with the same perfect accuracy which had distin guished every movement of the long progress, this last appointment was kept, Crowds thronged the streets down to the wharf, the hill overlooking it was black vo;th ppnple, thP ghipa in tho 'boy. dressed with colours. There was great shouting, cheering, and waving of handkerchiefs as his Royal Highness, with the chief members of his suite, stepped into the Hero's barge, and one long-shouted farewell seemed to fill the air as the boat shoved off from American soil, and the first Prince of Wales who has ever visited the United States quitted the shore with the love and good wishes of all its people. There was a moment of ceremony as the Hero, Ariadne, Flying Fish, Nile, and Styx manned yards and slowly thundered out a Royal salute. Another salute as the Prince's standard went up to the Hero's main. Then " boats recall" was hoisted, and before 5 o'clock the Royal squadron was steam ing out of the harbour. One last salute was given as the vessels passed the forts. It was returned gun for gun, dotting the hills with smoke, till the crowds were hidden and the land lay in a dim blue haze, which gradually sunk lower and lower in the horizon. On board the Hero the Prince, with all the im• mediate members of his suite, was embarked. The Ariadne had only two of the Prince's travelling companions, if I may so term them—the son of Lord St. Germans, the Hon. Mr. Elliot, and the Hon. C. Ellis, the son of Lord Howard De Walden. The pretty little Flying Fish took no one ; for in a vessel of such small size and comparatively low speed :it was not unreasonably conjectured that a winter passage over the Atlantic would be both a long and an uneasy one. How she has made her way through it is still unknown , for there was rather a strong swell on, with an adverse wind, the first night of departure, in which she was not able to maintain the speed of the other vessels, and gradu ally dropped more and more astern, parting cora middle of the night. It will very pany towards the likely be a week or ten days before she makes Eng lan d. A winter voyage across the Atlantic is the same for Princes as for other people—that is to say, always a long, dull, and comfortless affair—a damp monotonyof days and nights,slightly broken now and then by a thick fog or a sharp gale. On this run, and in going out, and as all through Canada and much of the United States, his Royal Highness had his usual ill-luck with regard to weather. There were head winds, there were calms, there were fogs, and in the short intervals when the breeze was favourable there was so much of it and to spare, that on the whole one rather wished the calms and fogs were back again. There was no desire to be fastidious on board the squadron. Any wind with *West in it would do. But, of course, this never came but once, when there was such a considerable admixture of the westerly element that I think everybody in his heart was glad when it was gone again. It is astonishing what an amount of discomfort is con cealed under the saying of a "Thirteen knot gale in your favour." For the first two or three days out both the Hero and Ariadne were under steam, The former was at full speed, the latter at less than half, and having to resort to every nautical artifice to keep her place behind the flagship. In spite of all, however, this beautiful frigate kept ranging up alongside and ahead of the Hero. There seemed to be no keeping her great speed within bounds, and between the intervals when the watch turned up to shorten sail'the main deck forward echoed with an impromptu song among the sailors, with the chorus of " Wait for the Hero, wait for the Hero, waitfor the Hero, she's a long way behind." There were " chaffing" signals, too, going on between the ves sels as to the state of passengers on both, and ironi cal offers of medical assistance in case they were very bad. In these, however, the Ariadne had much the best of it, for, with the exception of his Royal Highness and one or two others, the knot of passengers on the poop of the Hero was lamentably thinned by the first one or two days' head sea. Now and then the Ariadne ranged up so close alongside that both parties could converse from their respec tive quarter-decks by writing out their questions on black-boards, and holding them up. Once, indeed, the Ariadne came so close that both could speak with ease. experiment, however, was only at tempted once, for a heavy swell was running, and the two ships were within a hair's-breadth of coming broadside against each other, when the consequences might have been serious. Their yards actually touched, and nothing but the speed of the Ariadne and the indomitable coolness of Captain Vansittart saved them from actual collision. Even as it was many ran below, thinking the masts and spars would be about their ears. After this slight escapade open order was kept, except in fogs, when the Ariadne had to follow, almost touching the Prince's vessel. These fogs were as frequent as on the voyage out, and were a source of perpetual anxiety. Every officer on board the Ariadne was determined, come what might, not to part company with the Hero. Yet the danger—to say nothing of the difficulty of keeping together when both were steeped in yellow clouds, impervious to light, and almost to sound— can easily be understood. The mists seemed by their very weight and density to make the ocean dumb, and only a huge, silent fog swell, which seemed almost supernatural in its mute undulations, gave evidence that the vessels were really at sea. Every mast and spar was hidden, fog lights were useless even at a few yards off they only shone with a dim, thick, yellow glare, which might be a mile off or a yard for anything one could distinguish. The very sea itself was blinded out by this wet, dun, choking atmosphere, and as far as sight or sound could tell the Ariadne or the Hero might both have been, as they really seemed, in the clouds. Voices could be heard on board the Hero, and the creaking of her masts and cordage as she drooped o'er and over from side to side with the swell; but not a vestige of her form or lights could be discerned for a single instant. The fog hung, in fact, on every thing like a pall, and seemed to check Sight and noise, and even motion. The hero used to go ahead, sounding her fog whistle, till the shrill alarm was faint in the distance, and stifled in the thick air. Then the Ariadne would follow, sounding hers, till close upon the flagship, when the Hero again took up the scream and went ahead ; and in this manner, moving step by step, the nights and days would pass: On these occasions Capt. Vansittart, and Mr. Phillips, the first lieutenant, seldom left the bridge for an in stant. It was both dull and anxious work, espe cially as the fog always melted into a thick calm, leaving the vessels lounging from side to side with a heavy idle motion like a couple of " jibbing" horses that would back, or rear, or sidle, or do anything, in fact, but go on. The Ariadne carried coals enough for her voyage home, but the Hero only stowed some six or seven days' fuel, most of which, of corse, was reserved in case, as it really happened, of their coming on this coast with easterly winds against them. But, in spite of the care with which the coals were husbanded, it was evidently of no good lying becalmed 600 miles off Portland, so on Thursday, the 25th, both vessels got up steam, and went a-head, the Hero at full speed, and the Ariadne keeping her place with ease at little more than one-third, and with only from 81b. to 101 b. steam in her boilers. On Friday, the 26th, a signal was made to the Ariadne to tow. The idea of a 26-gun frigate towing a line-of-battle ship through rather a heavy swell seems almost ab surd, but the Ariadne, either under sail or steam, can do such feats as were never heard of from a steam frigate before. So the Ariadne took the Hero in tow, and actually dragged her along through a heavy rolling swell at the rate of nine knots an hour. Such an effort appears almost in credible, and I must own that, had I not seen it myself, I should have found some difficulty in be lieving that any frigate afloat could possibiy have done it. Both vessels were rolling rather heavily, and the hawser kept tightening and vibrating like a harp-string. No one knew the instant it would part, and as it was taken along the Ariadene's up per deck, where the men could not possibly be al waye kept clear of it, it was a constant source of anxiety to all. It went at last with a terrific snap at about 5 a.m. on the 27th. There were plenty of men near it when it parted, but providentially it sprung into the air and went clear over th e stern without hurting any one. At that time the long-wished for wind had come at last from the north-west. The towing, therefore, was not renewed, but both went on under all plain sail, the Ariadne shortening hers every hour to keep up with the Hero. During Saturday the breeze freshened more and more, the sea got up as the glass went down, and the wind came in fierce squalls, driving showers of sleet and hail before it. On Sunday it blew more than half a gale, and hour by hour, reef after reef was taken in by the Hero, and, of course, the Ariadne was obliged to follow the example. Both ships began to roll rather heavily, and stray traps went crushing about—the Ariadne creaked and groaned in every timber, the wind moaned and howled through the shrouds in every tone of hoarse and dangerous anger, while the clouds of hail drove over everything, and k ep t ringing and spinning from the deck like small shot. Everything was dark, wet, noisy, creaking below, while above nothing could be heard but the hurried tramp of the sailors, the roar of the s t orm , and dash of the spray as it leaped up over the ship's side on to the deck. This was the 12-knot breeze in our favour. About 3 a.m. on Monday this brief storm was at its worst, and struck down upon both ships in a succession of angry squalls. The Hero was abreast of the Ariadne, not quite a mile to windward, no longer towering with a mass of canvass moving with stately undulations over the ocean, but with a few wet, black-looking sails, close-reefed, and rolling quick and heavily—a mere hard-,struggling, weather-beaten ship. The squall which the copper-coloured clouds foretold came on her first with a hoarse, loud roar, as if a mountain was in motion. At once it split both her foresail and her mainsal, and heeled her sharply over. What more it did I cannot say, for the storm seemed to muffle her up with clouds of mist and hail, till in a short time her outline only loomed faintly through the haze, like the shadow of a ship upon a watery cloud. The Ariadne's turn came next. With a loud premonitfary rush of hail and dash of sea up over her sides, the wind struck her, as sailors say, "like a hammer." The reefed maintopsail split at once. Then the forestaysail went. The almost instant destruction of this sail was a wonderful sight. The block holding it broke up, and the huge mass of wet canvass blew out :slatting in the wind with a fierce noise like volleys of musketry, and jerking every timber in the ship as though she was actually striking. Another minute and this, the newest and strongest sail in the ship, had blown away piecemeal in little shreds and fragments. With this squall the thick ness of the weather increased, till even the dubious, greasy light of the moon was damped out. A t last the clouds partially cleared at six o'clock, and then the Hero was nowhere to be seen. The last that bad been seen of her was through The mist, when she was apparently heaving to to reef. So the Ariadne hove to also till nearly nine o'clock, in the hope of her consort being still in the neighbourhood. At nine o'clock tho gale was almost as bad as ever, but the sun was bright for a short time, yet still the flagship was nowhere visible. Blank conster nation fell on all the Ariadne's, from captain to crew, for to part thus, after all their long days and nights of trouble, was felt to be mortifying indeed. After a delay of two hours and more, Captain Van sittart came to the conclusion that the Hero must have run before the gale, and was still ahead. Acting upon this supposition, which proved to be quite correct, all the sail which the Ariadne could safely carry in such a heavy breeze was crowded on, and away she went, tearing through the waves at the rate of more than 13 knots an hour. For the credit of this noble vessel, ho wever, I grieve to say that in this her first real trial in a heavy sea she proved rather an uncomfortable ship. It is true she was running almost before the wind and through the trough of a very heavy sea; but, making every possible allowance for these disad- I vantages and her weight of coal, it still by no means accounted for her tremendous lurches. She rolled with a deep, slow, heavy motion, as if almost at times about to capsize. To say that she dipped her main deck guns under water, of course means a great deal, but even this is short of what the Ariadne accomplished in her unwieldy gambols. She rolled from 24 to 26 degrees to:windward,!and from 30 to 36 or even 33 to leeward. In some of her lurches over to leeward it was only possible to guess at the number of degrees she went, but her inclina tion may be judged from the fact that in one tre mendous dip she made she actually dipped her quarter-boats into the water. This was certainly her worst, though she very often. heeled over so as to bring the boats within a few inches of the sea. The shot was sent below from the upper deck, and the long 68-pounders so lashed that, unless she actually turned over, they could never move. Two of the light brass howitzers forward, however, were capsized, and some anxiety was felt during the heaviest rolls lest any of her huge main-deck guns below should get adrift. Fortunately, however, they had been well secured, and never moved an inch. All our troubles, however, were forgotten when, though the gale still blew, the weather cleared, and the man at the mast-head hailed that the Hero was in sight. It was only from the mast-head, however, that she could be seen under the very meagre allowance of canvass which Commodore Seymour meted out to her on all °Cell gioab—about 11 .2. 11 - : milo, ,Aucncl. The instant the discovery was made, additional sail was crowded on the Ariadne, and the way she tore through the water was " a caution." The He:ro herself must at least have been going 10 knots bf2fore such a wind, and a stern chase is proverbially a long chase ; yet in less than five hours after first sighting her from the mast-head the Ariadne was alongside once more, and the Hero signalled how glad she was to be re joined by so good a consort. - With the night the wind—the only favourable wind we had—died away, and left both ships rolling helplessly to the bidding of the long, smooth swell. Then came calms by day with fogs by night, then more idling and rolling, getting a start of wind. for a few hours to raise momentary hopes of still making a fair pas sage ; then again calms, and yet more fogs, till the chances of reaching England 'a:ader 14 days waxed fainter and more faint with e ach day's non-pro gress. Then the Ariadne would tow again. To prevent danger from the hawser parting while on board, the end was made fast to the shackle of her stream cable—a huge piece of iron, equal, according to the calculation. 'of the dockyard au thorities, to nearly three times the strength of the towing hawser. Yet bef ore the towing had lasted half an hour the shacklre broke, and left the Hero adrift. I would venter o humbly to suggest that the Lords :of the Admix alty should see this wretched piece of iron-work. The fracture shows a worse kind of metal than on e would expect to find in the coarsest pig-iron. Yet•on the strength of this shackle the Ariadne herself, with all on board, might have to depend for sat 'ety in her most trying emergencies. It is impossible that it could have been tested at the dockyard 'before it was issued, as it broke at less than half the strain it is professed to have been proved to. A larger shackle was then got up, and with this the Ariadne again set to work, and pulled the Ilex o through the water some 200 miles, making every timber in the ship reak and work awfully under the strain. After 20 hours of this work the hawser • parted on board the Hero, and as there was then n little wind the tow ing was not renewed, but both vessels crept on under sail, the Ariadne, as usual, though having her mizentopsail and topgallantsail backed, dodg ing about on all sorts of t:sc:ks to keep with the flagship. In this manner, now creeping on for a few hours with a faint wind, then steaming a little through calms and fogs, the :Ist of November found the ships in that part of the ocean called " the be ginning of the Chops of the Channel," with the sea like glass, fogs by night wii ;la a long fog swell, and a steady easterly wind agai nst us during the day. On this, the Ist of Novembi sr, we were 600 miles from the Lizard—at noon o a Monday, the sth, we were 430. These figures give the best idea of the amount of progress made in this time. The Hero had not coal enough to ste am, and the wind was too strong in the day, and the swell too much at night, for the Ariadne to toss. Thus day by day and hour by hour was passed, with these two fine ships lying all but idle in the water, and everybody fuming and fretting for the fair wind, which the more it was wanted " the ro,ccre it wouldn't come.' Gn Monday, the sth, there was another at tempt made to tow the Hero, but then there was a heavy swell on, and after some three hours the hawser parted agrain, and both ships jogged on as usual, creepimg up slowly roercb to ant wind ward,inen and passing many siail of similarly engaged.

Everybody studied the barometer, which still kept obstinately high, and everyone thought the wind must come round ell, .the next day, though yam' 4D. STAMPED, SD. the next day was, of course, as bad as ever, and only brought such small additions to the live stock as starlings, thrushes, and a woodcock blown off the land, showing that the wind was likely to be hard and very lasting. There was only one comfort left us, and that was, that since the great weight of coals on board the Ariadne had been got rid of by towing, she never rolled at all worth speaking of. On Wednesday, the 7th, the ships were near Gal way, and it was thought the Hero would have made for that port, filled up with coal, and then steamed home. But for some reason or other she did not, and on the next day the wind was too strong and she could not have done it had she tried. Friday, the 9th, the ships were back again in the same place that they had been on Monday, the sth, while on Sunday the 11th, they were some 30 miles further off the land than they had been on Sunday, the 4th. Altogether, with the wind, rain, and hail, it was not an encouraging cruise, espe cially as fresh provisions were out, even to the vege tables, and there was nothing to eat but the saltest of ship's salt stores. On Monday, the 12th, both vessels were well into the Bay of Biscay, making a long slant down towards Ushant. If the wind changed to either south or north west there would be a chance of getting in ; if it did not, there was nothing for it but to wear and stand out to the west again —perhaps for another week, per haps for a fortnight, and all this on salt provisions. It was not in human nature to bear it with patience and the barometers were consulted every hour and every minute that night. At last they began to fall. Then came rain, then little puffs of fair wind, coquetting and flapping about the huge sails. Gra dually it came round more and more from the West till by 10 a.m. on the 13th, the 24th day out, there was, almost for the first time, a fair wind, and both ships at last making their course stood towards England. The breeze, however, was but a poor one. In the night it almost died away, though the Hero ' still kept the double reef in her topsails to a light wind that scarcely moved her five knots an hour. A yacht would have gladly spread all her canvass to the wind which was keeping this crack line-of battle ship under double-reefed topsails. On the morning of the 14th the wind came decidedly fair —a strong sou'-wester, under which, running full before the wind, both ships went hissing and rush ing through the water at the rate of more than 12 knots an hour. This was all very well, but as some slight uncertainty existed as to where the vessels were, and consequently whither they were going, it was evident that they could not carry on long that way. There had been no observations for some days, and when there had been any, the Hero's dif fered from the Ariadne's and the dead reckonings from both. Observations from stars only made mat ters worse again. So, as the weather was thicken ing and the wind inshore, both ships shortened sail at 1 o'clock and hove to to sound ; coarse gravel was got in 83 fathoms, which the chart said meant off Ushant, but this was almost doubtful, so soundings were taken again at 6, and the bottom at 60 fathoms placed the first soundings above suspicion. The course of the vessels was, therefore, altered to east nor'-east, and under shortened sail the Hero and the Ariadne stood across the Channel for the Lizard Light. This, the last night of the cruise, was as foggy as any, and once the Ariadne missed the Hero and red rockets, but the rockets were answered by the Himalaya, which had been long on the look out for us. At last the Ariadne put on full steam, and running up at 14 knots an hour, overtook the Hero, cautiously creeping towards the Lizard. Fortunately the light was soon made, and the cold grey morning at last showed the shores of Old England in the lofty, rugged, picturesque coast of Cornwall. The run to Plymouth was soon made, and before 10 a.m. the Hero and the Ariadne cast anchor inside the Breakwater, the ships in the Sound and in the harbour, and the batteries on shore saluting the Prince's flag. In a very short time his Royal Highness was ready to land. For the last time the ships manned yards, salutes were fired as the Royal standard came down from the Hero, and amid cheers from the crews of the Hero and Ariadne the Prince of Wales quitted the Royal squadron, and his long progress was brought to a close. His Royal Highnesi landed at the Royal William Victualling-yard, where he was received by the Plymouth Volunteers, under Major Duperier, and a guard of honour of the 12th; commanded by a field officer. At the station Colonel Lambrick and 100 Royal Marines formed a guard of honour on the platform. His Royal Highness, at the platform of the South Devon Railway, received addresses from Mr. Wil liam Luscombe, Mayor, and the magistrates and corporation of Plymouth, and from Mr. Ryder, Mayor, and the corporation of Devonport. With the Prince were the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of St. Germans, General Bruce, Major Teesdale, Capt. Grey, Dr. Arland, and Mr. Englehart. The Royal train started from Plymouth at noon. His Royal Highness looked extremely well, and before depar ture conversed on the platform with Lady Mount- Edgecumbe, the Hon. George Edgecumbe, Port Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., Admiral Superintendent Sir Thomas Pasley, Major-General Hutchinson, Commander of the Forces in the West, &c. Precisely at half-past six o'clock the Royal train arrived at the Windsor station, where the Windsor Rifles formed a guard of honour. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort came to the station to receive the Prince. There were also on the platform Mr. William Vansittart, M.P., the Mayor (Mr. Henry Driver), the Rev. H. J. Ellison, Vicar of Windsor, the Rev. Henry C. Hawtrey, Mr. Henry Stevens, Mr. Robt. Blunt, Capt. Turner, &c. The Prince proceeded to the Castle amid the hearty cheers of the inhabitants, the firing of a royal salute from the corporation ordnance, and the ringing of joyous peals from the bells of the Chapel Royal of St. George and St. John's Church. THE WIZARD OF THE NORTH AN AMERICA. Pro- We extract the following from a letter written by fessor Anderson, dated Philadelphia, Oct. 16: — Since my last the chart of my wanderings has consider ably enlarged in its dimensions, and my track upon the world's surface exhibits many zig-zags. When last I put myself ea rapport with Aberdeen, I was in California, dwelling beneath its clear blue Grecian sky, rambling over its auriferous soil, and performing to o ddly-constitutod and mostheterogenous audiences of Americans, English, Scotch, Irish, Germans, French, Spaniards, Italians, Mexicans, A r izonians, Kanakas, Mor- Chinese, Japanese, Son orians, mons, and tar-headed Indians. Since then I have sailed through the Golden Gate and down the Pacific, past Lower California, with its wealth of treasures yet undisturbed in the virgin soil, past the mountains of Mexico, peeping at Popocatapell in the distance, and seeing the dimly -out lined sublimities of Mount Colima, called in at Acapalco, the most land-locked of all harbours, anthdethcerlel it—mosthad the fears of yello w fever—" yellow jack," as y call strongly impressed upon me ; thence down the Pacific th o shores of Nic ara g ua, the p aradise of filibust and by e of Costa Rica , w hose coffee-trees cast their shadows on the Pacific waves; to Honduras, with its forests of maho gany ; and to New Grenada, w ith its internecine fighters, i ts pugilistic presidents, its Spaniards, and its In dians, its Senor Obaldia, the retiring governor, and its Santiago de la Guardia, the governor elect, the former of whom holds office because he is a good fighter, and could fight the latter, who in the same way is also a good fighter, and would like to challenge his predecessor. It is no en viable position to be governor of any Central American State. I trod on the soil of New Grenada for the first time when I landed at Panama. The troops of the President Obaldia were drawn up to receive us at the wharf. Blue jackets, white pantaloons, black face, and black bootless feet, were the outward and visible signs of the army of the republic. We lauded by daylight in the early morning, and the train was waiting to receive us. There were 47 miles of isthmus to be travelled over ; and for hauling you over those 47 miles by a very willling but very constitutionally weak locomotive, the charge is only 2 , 5 dols.— Anglia, five pounds. There was considerable difficulty in getting us along the road, especially during the first part ofrthora thecJour ney, when the train has to ascend an incline, from summit of which the traveller looks backwards to the l'aci- rin igs )I 0 2 3) 3 n) a Kilo cond idol.
