It must be con fessed that Sir E. BULWER Lrrrox had a very difficult task yesterday, and that he fulfilled it in the best possible manner. The right hon. baronet was well received by both parties when he appeared on the hustings. He truly observed that he came forward with mixed feelings, for he had to thank the constituents for returning him for the fifth time as their representative, and to lament the loss of his colleague and the reverse sustained by the Conser vative cause in Hertfordshire. Another circum stance also conduced to render the election a period of annoyance, and the right honourable baronet took occasion to denounce in the strongest manner the " electioneering fraud" which had been basely employed by some unknown individuals. He denied and repudiated it "in the name of every honest Conservative," adding, that in the " battles of public lif e , so long as honour is kept, nothing is permanently lost." Sir E. B. LYTTON spoke in a good, humorous tone of the success of his adversary, and ascribed his success to other than mere political causes, Mr. COWPER being th e near connection of a " brilliant and - popular leinis ter whom many Conservatives did not desire to dis place," and also haying the advantage of being one to three, so that he obtained many " split votes." In a complimentary manner the right hon. baronet strove to explain the triumph of his opponent did not show such a decrease it the power of the Conservative party as some ima• gined, although he gave the electors the wise ad vice that they should make this defeat stimulate their efforts on another occasion to obtain better results. lie concluded his very suc cessful address by declaring that tranquil a3' affairs now appeared before long there Would in all probability be questions both at home and abroad in which the interests of the country would be " vitally engaged." The successful Liberal candidate, the Hon. H. COWPER, was enthusiastically received, and he expressed his gratitude to the electors for the honour that they had done him in very glowing terms. He said that it was a great victory for his party, as well as a triumph to himself. He also alluded to the • fraud" against whioh they had had to contend ; and he very fairly stated that he be lieved the Conservative party were as indignant at such an act as he and his friends could be. The proceedings altogether went off very quietly, and a good feeling was manifested by all sides, which contrasted favourably with the disturbances that took place at other elections throughout the country. In North Essex Major BERESFORD has lost his seat, and Mr. Dunn, who was returned at the head of the poll, paid a graceful tribute to his friend and colleague. The hon. member declared that the success of Sir THOMAS WESTERN was partly owing to his having caught the sentries napping at their posts, in the security of supposed victory. This is very likely, because nothing is more unwise than to neglect opportunities. Sir T. WESTERN had the satisfaction of announcing that he was the first Liberal who had been returned for that division of the county since the Reform Bill ; so that his vic tory was of more consequence than an ordinary election triumph. It is a curious circumstance that the last time the Liberal party was represented in that part of Essex was by a relative of the hon. baronet's. In South Warwickshire the Conservatives succeeded in preserving their seats, although there was a sharp contest. Lord DUNCAN, the defeated candidate, however, appeared a general favourite on all sides, and both his successful com petitors testified to his merits. In North Wilts the same happy unanimity did not prevail, and the various arrangements of the " compact" by which the representation was neutralised was sharply criti cised. On the whole, it may be said that more changes of one sort and another have taken place during this general election than ordinarily occurs even at such important junctures. The intelligence brought by the Moravian indi cates a crisis in the social system of the South. The representations which have been made to President JOHNSON respecting the exceptions to the amnesty proclamation have unfortunately proved unavailing, and the confiscation clauses are being carried out in full severity. The United States and Federal territories have been divided into five grand military divisions, each under a separate general—Generals MEADE, SHERMAN, SIIERIDAN, THOMAS, and lIAL LEOS being selected for the office—while these five great districts are sub-divided into eighteen military departments, each again under a special commander, so that there are no less than twenty-three military commanders placed in authority over the people. This is a somewhat startling state of things for a nation which used to boast of its exemption from the evils and expenses of a standing army. These military appointments have only been recently made—the War Department promulgating its orders on the 14th. Two days previously the work of confiscation was begun at Richmond, where a department " for the confiscation of the property of persons who have aided the re bellion" has been established under Judge UNDERWOOD. On its opening it seized the Tredegar Iron Works, and served the tenants of several large proprietors with notices to pay them no more rent. It is not surprising to learn that great consternation exists among the people, or that all improvements and operations on estates are sus pended. No one can tell who may be the next vic tim, and, in fact, it is already plain that every one whose property is worth confiscating will be included in the sentence. It is so easy, after a time of general excitement and convulsion, to substantiate a charge of having by some act of omission or commission favoured the rebellion. Private jealousy or preju dice, covetousness of his emoluments, or greed for his property, may serve before so arbitrary a tribu nal to condemn a man on charges which it is impos sible to disprove after the lapse of two or three years. When once the system of confiscation begins no one knows where it may stop, and the people of the South may well be terrified at the prospect be fore them. When a party professing to fight for a principle takes care to turn that principle to their own advantage, their conduct is, to say the least of it, suspicious ; and the patriotism and humanity that can overlook the crimes of the poor man, but finds it indispensable to punish the misdeeds of the rich, is very much of that character. Why is the limit for clemency to be drawn so rigidly exact that the man who owns $19,500 may be forgiven, while the man who has $20,000 is beyond the pale of mercy? We can imagine nothing more fatal to the interests of the State, nothing more injurious to the social welfare of the country at large, nothing more suicidal on the part of the Government, if they wish to rule a tranquil people constitutionally. The embittered feelings of the South will in any case be difficult to bear, and it will be long years before the Confederate States re cover their former prosperity, even under favour able circumstances, but if such a course is pursued as these Virginian proceedings seem to indicate there is nothing but discord and misery to be looked for, So that under the union which has been held up to us as the most fortunate combination of civil power with social freedom, we have an absolute military government all through the country, with a wholesale system of confiscation in the South which appears to have been copied from the annals of the Reign of Terror. Every one knows how the evil grew when once the denunciations of interested parties were listened to, and now it was quite enough for a man to possess anything which his fellows coveted to insure his arrest, the seizure of his pro perty, and perhaps his execution. We have not yet seen that in America, but they are entering on the same ruinous path. France learned her revolu tionary doctrines from the New World, and •she appears to have paid back the lesson by teaching them the lesson of anarchy and despotism combined under the name of Liberty. The negro difficulty does not seem to lessen. Fights have occurred between white and black troops at Charleston, where the military among the negroes still continues, and the military authorities in the city found it desirable to take measures against a slave insurrec tion. Great dissatisfaction is felt throughout South Carolina at the garrisoning of the posts by coloured troops, and their removal is loudly urged Altogether, the prospect of America at peace is not more hopeful than the picture of America at war. The Prince and Princess of WALES have won golden opinions everywhere since their marriage by the affability which they have displayed and the .readiness which they h ave man if es t e d on all occa sions to take an interest in what was passing around L them. The visit which they are now paying in the [ West of England has been a very successful and brilliant one, and it is very fitting that the Prallo: should visit Corn wa ll , with which h o i s so inti mately- associated. The present may be regarded as hi s first visit to the place, and he could not have made it under happier or more auspicious circum stances. It is also very fortunate that the PamcvsS has been able to accompany him, as great disappoint ment must otherwise have been experienced. The enthusiasm which was everywhere evinced proves that there is no fault to find with the Cornish people, and that his Royal Highness is high in favour in that locality. At an early hour of the morning the Osborne landed at Fowey, but the people as sembled to greet their royal visitors with a genial reception. An address was presented to the Prince from the inhabitants oZ the place, - Much oet forth the pleasure tha: was felt by I'HE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVEAING, ULY 25, 1805. the inhabitants of that ancient borough in the arri val of his Royal Highness and the Princess in his " ancient duchy of faithful Cornwall." Many ancient associations were connected with the spot. EDWARD the Black Prince was enter tained within the " Place" where the Prince and Princess repaired on their landing. Yes terday their royal highnesses landed at_ Penzance, and there received an address from the corporation. It may fairly be expected that the remainder of their excursion will prove as happy and prosperous as the commencement, and thus form an agreeable re miniscence to the royal visitors in after .times. Everywhere the Prince goes about - without any useless ceremony, and thus he is enabled to witness for himself the style of the places which he visits, and the inhabitants are enabled to see him without press or parade. The warm welcome which the Prince and Princess have received in Cornwall, and indeed everywhere they have passed through, must be very gratifying to their feelings. The Wimbledon Meeting has come to a brilliant and fortunate termination, and the grand con cluding ceremonial of Saturday passed 'off with spirit and éclat. Many of the incidents of the occa sion were especially interesting, and the close con test for many of the principal prizes heightened the excitement always felt in the result of the compe tition. The Elcho Challenge Shield, which was one of the most hotly fought contests of the meeting, was so evenly balanced between the English Eight and the Scotch Eight that the issue turned upon the position of one shot. There was a difference of opinion on the sub ject, and the matter was left in abey ance for further reference ; but it was ended by Captain Ross, on the part of the Scottish Eight, gracefully waiving the point in dispute, and leaving the trophy in undisputed possession of his English rivals. As Lord ELCHO justly observed, with such close rivalry there was no real defeat in being beaten, and we hope that next year our Irish friends will fulfil their threat, and carry the Shield to Dublin. The Queen's Prize, always the prominent feature of the Wimbledon Meetings, was carried off by Private SHARMAN, Wimbledon common being one of those places where skill and merit have undisputed pre-eminence without any favouritism. The honours gained there are felt to be fairly won, and are consequently duly valued, while the number of first-rate shots, which increases year by year, makes the task of winning the prizes no trifling achievement. Perhaps the general character of the shooting was more gratifying to the real friends of the rifle movement than the feats, however skilful, of any individuals. It shows that the real object of the meeting is attained, and that the whole style and character of our rifle shooting is rapidly im proving. The originators of the annual meeting deserve great credit for the idea, since it keeps up that spirit of enterprise and emulation without which a large body of men will be certain to flag. The prizes were gracefully presented to the heroes of the day by Lady SPENCER, in every way a most suitable donor, since she has always taken a kindly interest in the success of the force ; and to Lord SPENCER the riflemen are indebted for permission to come to Wimbledon. Altogether the meeting, de spite the dissolution, has been one of the most bril liant on record, and bears satisfactory evidence of the increasing skill and unflagging spirit of our British marksmen. WRECK AT BLACKFlttAns.—Yesterday the navi gation of the fairway channel at Blackfriars-bridge was stopped in consequence of a barge laden with railway iron plates having sunk near the centre span of the tem porary bridge. Divers were employed at once to get the cargo up, with the view of getting her afloat. In the afternoon a great portion of the cargo was hoisted into barges, and it is fully expected that the sunken vessel will be raised to-day, and the navigation of the river re-opened. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.—At the assize court at Salisbury last week George Prior, a clerk in the employment of Messrs. W. IL Smith and Son, news agents, of the Strand, London, was charged with embezzling the sum of .£9 11s. 7d., the property of his employers. It ap peared from the evidence of Mr. Faux, the superintendent of bookstalls for Messrs. Smith and Son, that the prisoner had received orders from him to prepare his accounts for transfer to another clerk by the 12th June. On the arrival of Mr. Faux at Salisbury on the 12th June he found the pri soner had absconded, taking with him the whole of the pre ceding week's receipts. It was proved in evidence that the prisoner had received three sums of money on the 10th June on account of Messrs. Smith, for which he had given re ceipts, and not accounted for. Mr. Justice Keating sen tenced him to eight months' imprisonment with hard labour. TIIE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF AN INSPECTOR OF POLICE AT EAST STONEIIOUSE, DEVON.—From the time of the occurrence about four p.m. on Saturday, till late in the following (Sunday) evening, the unfortunate man, Annis, continued in a very dangerous state; but his chances of life were then felt to be somewhat improved. Ho is kept perfectly quiet, and from the fact of his having survived such a serious wound for so many hours, and having, if anything, changed for the better, it is hoped that his strong constitution will enable him to recover. He is under the care of Dr. Boith, deputy inspector general of hospitals ; and Dr. Reid, of the Devonport Dockyard, on Sunday evinced his interest in the unfortunate man's fate by visiting him. The motive which impelled Bunter to commit the desperate act is easily divined. Annis has rendered himself peculiarly obnoxious to marine-store dealers and people of that class by his proceedings as a detective metropolitan police-officer, and complaints of his having exceeded his duty have been often made. Bunter seems to have had a special grievance ; for two years since he was committed to prison for four months for unlawful possession of Government property, on a charge preferred by Annie. When ho was first brought to the station Bunter was in an excited state, and said to the officer on duty there that ho had not committed the act in a passion but had been premeditating it all day, and that he only wished his arm had been stronger. Subsequently he told Mr. Superintendent Ross that he only regretted the thrust had not been effectual. PURITY OF ELECTION.—A Droitwich correspond dent sends us the following as an instance of a cheap elec tion :—" Sir John Pakington came here to be elected for this borough. Met his friends at the George. No cakes, no wine ; but, to make up for it, plenty of shaking of hands. Went to the Town-hall, hqd a speech, off 1.30 to the mayor's to luncheon ; thence to the station. The only farthing spent was 6d. for the fly to the station."—Bir mingham Post. A gentleman's yacht has been seized in South ampton water by the Custom-house authorities, in conse quence of contraband goods having been found on board. The owner has been exonerated from all blame, but the captain has been held to bail, and some of the c rew h ave been committed to prison. The Customs laws ar e very severe in such seizures, as yachts generally are ex em pt e d from official supervision to prevent the pleasure of yachting from being diminished, and from the belief that the rank and character of yacht owners are ample security that the revenue laws will not be infringed. MR. HUGHES'S ELECTION EXPENSES.—The elec tors of Lambeth, determined that the return of Mr. Thomas Hughes shall not be at his personal cost, have commenced subscribing to a fund of £1,200 to clear the whole expense. The subscriptions range from one shilling upwards to £lOO, and the list is in a promising way to wards speedy completion. The act cannot be too highly commended, since, although there are good grounds for believing it is not in accordance with Mr. Hughes's wishes, it has an inevitable tendency to improve the political mora- lity of the constituency, and to efface the corrupting in fluences of the enormous expenditure in the Boupell con test some years ago.—South London Chronicle. THE STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADE.—A nume rously attended meeting of master builders was held yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration the circumstances connected with the strike at Messrs. Cubitt's. A favourable feeling to wards the Workmen was manifested. At the same time it was considered that an immediate advance of wages, giving no time for the completion of existing contracts, would cause a great loss to the employers. A long discussion took place, lasting upwards of three hours, during which several resolutions were proposed, but ultimately a resolution was adopted to the effect that the advance of wages from 7d. to lid. per hour take place on the 28th of August next, in stead of the Ist of January, as originally intended, on con dition that the strike at Messrs. Cubitt's be withdrawn by the 29th inst. ; and it was also resolved that notices should be posted that those men who continue at work after the 29th inst. should be considered as acceding to this arrangempt.

The marine store dealer Bunter, who stabbed Detective Inspector Annis with a sword, on Satur day, made a desperate attempt to commit suicide in the police cells to-day. He broke his breakfast basin, and with the pieces cut the arteries of his arms and throat in such a manner that he ie not expected to survive. Annis is still in'a very desperate condition. PRUSSIA. THE LIBERAL BANQUET AT COLOGNE. COLOGNE, JULY 23. During yesterday evening, and until late in the night, both bridges over the Rhine were occupied by military upon the other side of the river, and intercourse between Cologne and Dentz was thus cut off. The steamers engaged by the Banquet Committee to convey the invited guests were occu pied by pioneers, who were ordered to permit their departure. Under these circumstances the majority of the guests took the Rhenish railway for Ober lahnstein, in the Duchy of Nassau, whence the following telegram has just been received : 66 OBERLAHNSTEIN, July 23. " The participators, in the banquet to the depu ties have arrived here uninterrupted, and encoun tered a hearty reception. The train which left Cologne at 9.25 consisted of 20 carriages, and was accompanied by a band. The guests were warmly cheered at all the stations, especially at Bonn, Ro landsesk, and by the passengers on board the steamer Merkens, at Remagen. Many of the houses in Oberlahnstein are decorated with the German flag." The result of the visit and the occupation by troops of the hotel occupied by the guests have already been telegraphed. SPAIN AND PERU. MADRID, July 22. The Correspondencia de Espana of to-day says— "We have grounds for stating that the Spanish Government entirely disapprove the course taken by Senor Tavira, our envoy at Chili, and that he will consequently cease to represent Spain in that Republic. Senor Pareja, who has always opposed the arrangement made by Senor Tovira, will pro bably replace- that diplomatist." A periodical asserted yesterday evening that some agitation prevailed in Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia. We do not believe that reaction or revolution has any means of creating a conflict. But, apart from our private, opinion, there is no thing, according to our information, to cause the slightest apprehension with regard to public tran quillity. The suppositions of the Opposition press that diffi culties at home and abroad .will prevent the recog nition of Italy from being carried out are entirely gratuitous. The recognition of Italy is a fact. The wish of the Government in this matter has already been made known at Florence, with the reservations that Spain has considered expedient, in the mode followed by the other Powers who have recognised the Kingdom of Italy.

The usual games were keenly contested, after which the party adjourned to the large and commodious mess hut of the corps, which was beautifully decorated and lit up, and some very clever feats were successfully performed by members of the corps, such as cutting an apple with a sabre on the bare hand, cutting a solid bar of lead, cutting an apple tied up in a handker chief, without damaging the handkerchief ; cutting a leg of mutton, and loaf of bread, the Saladin feat, &c., all of which were received with great applause. Among the suc cessful competitors in the outdoor sports were Mr. Mal colm, M.P., who threw the hammer 79ft., and the Hon. Mr Gordon, younger brother of the Earl of Aberdeen, who dis tanced all his opponents in the high leap, clearing easily sft. 2in. DEATH OF JAMES CROCKETT, THE LION TAMER. —James Crockett, recently attached to Howe's European Circus, and well Known both in this country and Europe as a tamer of wild beasts, died yesterday after non, about four o'clock, in the dressing-room of the above named circus, which was being exhibited at the time to an immense audience, that was waiting impatiently to wit ness his exploits with the animals under his management. Mr. Crockett enjoyed his usual health during the day, and had been driven through the street in company with his lions, which fact, taken in connection with . the excessive heat of the sun, seems to give the best and most rational clue to the solution of the mystery of his death. The de ceased was a native of England, unmarried, and perhaps 45 years of age. At the time of his demise Mr. Crockett was costumed for the ring, and was about to appear before the audience. We believe that be was on his way from the dressing-room for this purpose, when he staggered, fell, and almost immediately expired. Coroner Carey held an inquest upon the body, but the verdict has not yet been made known. His loss to the establishment to which he was attached will be irreparable.—Cincinnati Gazette, July 7.

Notice was recently given by Herr Bernhard Becker that he had reassumed his post as President of the General Association of Working Men in Germany, and he issued at the same time the fol lowing appeal : " I herewith order that, immediately after the receipt of these directions, thai the delegates of the General Association of Working Men in Germany, throughout the country, shall hold working-men's meetings, at the latest on Sunday next, the 23d July, and lay before them the following resolution for discussion and adoption : " Considering that it is our duty as independent men to support the party of progress, wherever it advocates right and liberty ; that the right of union is absolutely necessary to the success of our move ment, in the defence of which our interest coincides with that of the party of progress ; that our right of union has often been obstructed, and that we have obtained no redress in answer to our just complaints thereof to the Prussian Government ; that the already very scantily permitted right of union in Prussia and in the rest of Germany must not be still further abitrarily limited, but is rather to be extended to again allowing of popular meet ings being held in the open air without preceding permission from the police ; that the illegal attack made by the Police-President in Cologne upon the party of progress with respect to the right of union would, if successful, involve us all in its conse quences—considering these reasons, the General Assembly of Working Men convoked in —, resolves : " The working men of Germany, while decisively disapproving the proceedings of the Police-Presi dent at Cologne, testify to the members of the ma naging committee of the Liberal banquet in that town, of the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, and of the party of progress generally, in so far as they bravely and firmly strive for the preservation of the legally existing right of union, their full and entire sympathies, and assure them of the active co-ope ration of the working classes during the struggle : —" Working men !" concludes the appeal, " Now is the time to show energy, and by mass meetings to uphold a right indispensable, together with un shackled liberty in speech and writing to the achievement of all further freedom. May the working class, which constitutes the immense ma jority of the inhabitants of the State, in this case cast its influence into the scale, and demonstrate its fitness for free institutions." New Postal Regulations• The following regulations were yesterday issued by command of the Postmaster-General :- A new postal convention having been concluded with Belgium, which will come into operation on the Ist of August next, the following alterations in the rates of postage, &c., applicable to the correspondence exchanged between the United Kingdom and Belgium will take effect on and from that date, when prepaid letters will be charge able as follows :-By direct packet-not exceeding loz. in weight, 3d. ; above loz. and not exceeding loz., 6d. ; above loz. and not exceeding lioz., 9d. ; above lioz. and not exceeding 20z., ls, ; via France-not exceeding foz. in weight, 4d.; above joz. and not exceeding loz., Bd. ; above loz. and not exceeding Iloz., ls. ; above lioz. and not ex ceeding 20z., Is. 4d. ; and so on, adding one rate for each additional half-ounce, or fraction of half an ounce. When posted unpaid letters by either route will be chargeable on delivery with the above rate and an additional sum of 3d. ; and letters insufficiently prepaid will be chargeable as un paid letters, deducting the value of the postage stamps affixed to them. The foregoing rates comprise both the British and foreign charges. Letters addressed to Bel gium, superscribed by the writers with the word " Urgent," will be delivered at the place of destination by special means. All such letters must be registered, and they will be liable in this country to the same charge as other re gistered letters-viz., 6d. each letter in addition to the postage. An extra charge for the special delivery will be levied in Belgium. Upon every newspaper, duly regis tered for transmission abroad, and posted within 15 days from the date of publication, addressed to Belgium postage must be paid in advance, by means of postage-stamps at the following rates :-By direct packet, not exceed ing 4oz. in weight, Id. ; above 4oz. and not exceeding 2d.; via Franco, not exceeding 4oz. in weight, 2d.; ; ,, above 4oz.and not exceeding ilb.,4d. ; adding, 2d. or 4d. for each additional jib.

Patterns or samples of merchandise may also be sent to Belgium, subject to fol lowing regulations :-1. The patterns or samples must not be of intrinsic value. This rule excludes all articles of a sale able nature, and, indeed, whatever may have a value of its own apart from its mere use as a pattern or sample, and the quantity of any material sent ostensibly as a pattern or sample must not be so great that it can fairly be considered as having on this ground an intrinsic value. 2. There must be no writing or printing in addition to the address of the person for whom the packet is intended and the ad dress of the sender, other than a trade -mark and numbers, and the prices of the articles ; and these particulars must in all cases be given, not on loose pieces of paper, but on small labels attached to the samples or the bags con taining them. 3. The patterns or samples must bo sent in covers open at the ends, so as to be easy of examination_ Samples, however, of seeds, drugs, and so forth, which cannot be sent in open covers, may be enclosed in bags of linen, or other material, tied at the ne c k ; or th e b ags may be entirely closed, provided that they be transparent, so that the officers of the Post-office may bo able to satisfy them selves as to the nature of the contents. 4. No article likely to injure the contents of the mail-bags, or the person of any officer of the Post-office, may be sent through. the post as a pattern.

No book pattern, or packet of patterns or samples, must exceed 2ft. in length, or Ift. in breadth or depth. In order to prevent any interruption to the re gular transmission of letters, a book packet or packet of• patterns, or samples, may, when it is necessary, be kept back by any head postmaster for 24 hours beyond the time when, in the ordinary course, it would be forwarded A new line of French mail packets has been established to run once a month between St. Nazaire and Colon, and, in connexion therewith, the Postmaster-General has made arrangements with the Pacific Steam Navigation Company to set up an additional British packet service between Panama and Valparaiso-thus (with the two existing lines of British packets) affording a third regular mail communi cation in each month between this country and the Pacific ports. The first packet of the new lino is appointed to be despatched from St. Nazaire on the, 6th of August next, and thenceforward a packet will leave on the 6th of each month, reaching Colon about the 30th, and the correspond ing British packet will sail as soon as the mails reach Panama. To reach St. Nazaire in due time for conveyance by these packets, letters, &c., must be despatched from London at the latest by the morning mail of the sth of each month, or, when that date falls on Sunday, on the evening of the 4th. Letters and newspapers for Columbia (New Granada) and the States of the Pacific intended for con veyance by the French packets will be liable to the same rates of postage as by the present British packets, and such rates must, in all cases, be paid in advance. Any corres pondence intended to be forwarded by this route must be specially addressed "By French Packet." On the Ist of August, and thenceforward, money-orders will be issued at all money-order offices in the United Kingdom on the Post-office at Basseterre, in the colony of St. Kitts, at the same rates of charge and under the same regulations as those already in force with respect to other colonies with which money-order business is transacted. Money-orders will also be issued at that office on all money-order offices in the United Kingdom THE DRAMATIC COLLEGE FETE.—.The accounts of tho Dramatic College festival are not balanced as yet, but though there was a considerable falling off of the attendance on Monday as compared with former years, the receipts, it is understood, are thoroughly satisfactory, averaging about £2,000. Tho largest contributors were Mrs. Stirling and Mr. Tools. The prize for impudence is with a young lady, name not to be mentioned, who, after persuading the kindly manager of the Palace to got her some flowers, stuck one in hiB button-hole and charged him 2s. 6d. for it. gpf -11111121: Ti n t /A.,4 HER MAJESTY. _ _ OSBORNE, July 24. The Queen drove out early this morning. Dr. Jenner arrived at Osborne on Saturday, and returned to London yesterday. -0- The Prince and Princess of Wales. FOIVEY, July 23. The whole of Friday morning was passed by the Prince and Princess quietly at Mount-Edgcumbe. In the afternoon they made a short excursion in the yacht Princess Alice up the Tamar, and at 8 o'clock they went on board the Osborne, which lay at an chor in Baron Pool. Secret though the movements of the Royal party had been kept there were hun dreds of boats crowded with people drawn up beside the landing-place at which they had come on shore on their arrival at Plymouth, and from which it in some way became pretty generally known they were that evening to take their departure. The Prince and Princess were accompanied as on previous occasions by Gen. Knollys, Major Grey, Lady De Grey, and the other members of their suite. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke of St. Albans, the Duke of Somerset, Earl De Grey and Ripon, and Lord and Lady Templetown were also of the party. When their Royal Highnesses appeared on the landing-place they were loudly cheered ; nor did the cheering entirely cease until they had quitted the barge which took them on board the Osborne. In addition to the distinguished persons whose names have been already mentioned, the Prince and Princess entertained at dinner on board the Royal yacht Capt. Le Bris, commander of the Magenta, and one or two of the other French officers staying in Plymouth. Captain Darcy, commander of the Osborne, had also the honour of receiving an invitation. During dinner the band of the Magenta played on the fore castle, with charming effect, severalairsselectedfrom some of the most popular operas. About 10 o'clock the yacht was brilliantly illuminated, and as the night was as calm as it well could be, and there was not the smallest ripple on the surface of Barn Pool, few sights could be more tranquilly pleasing than the glittering waters and the reflected light on the verdant slopes and wooded heights of Mount- Edgcumbe. At 3 o'clock yesterday morning the Osborne weighed anchor, andset out for the Cornish coast. It would seem somewhat strange that this should be the first visit of the Prince to a county so picturesque, and with which he is so intimately connected. It is true that some 20 years ago he honoured more than one port in Cornwall with his presence, but then it is to be feared his thoughts were of other things than the beauty of its scenery or the loyalty of its inhabitants. In 1846 it was that her Majesty and the late Prince Consort, bringing with them his Royal Highness, entered the same harbour, and visited the same scenes which he yesterday visited with the Princess of Wales. Since that time the warmly manifested attachment of the Cornish people to the Throne has undergone no diminution, and the congratulations which they then offered to her Majesty on the birth of a Prince they were ready with equal warmth to repeat yes terday to that Prince himself. His Royal Highness might have selected many larger and more important towns than Fowey for making his first entry upon Cornish soil ; for, to say truth, its importance is not great in that sense which makes those great hives of industry in Lan cashire so proud. But then Fowey is a place of conse quence in that sense which causes the highland laird to look down upon the wealthy sons of commerce ; or the Irish gentleman with a pedigree stretching back to the days of Brian Boroimhe, or it may be further, to prefer gentility and starvation to vulgar opulence. Not that it would be fair to insinuate that Fowey has been driven to make the choice, for there is less of poverty in it, their relative popula tions being taken into account, than in many a town which can boast of its wonderful prosperity. When Manchester was unknown Fowey was a place of note. Leland in his " Itinerary" describes it as a town "the glorie of which rose by wars in the reignes of King Edward I. and 111. and Henry V." " The shipper o Fowey," he adds, " sailing by Rye and Winchelsey, would vale no bonet, being re quired, whereupon Rye and Winchelsey men they fought, when Fowey men had victory, and then rose the name o ' the gallaunts o Fowey.' " " The Frenchmen," "he goes on to say, " diverse times assayled this town, and last most notably about Henry Vl.'s time, when the wife of Thomas Treffry the second, with her men, repelled the French out of the house in her husband's absence, whereupon Thomas Treffry builded. a right fair and strong embattled tower in the house, and in a manner made it a castelle." Fowey then, safely intrenched in its historic renown, can afford to look down with the contempt it evidently feels on those who, when Garibaldi set sail from it on the occasion of his re cent visit to this country, spoke of it as the " back door of England." Fowey, too, though it has little more than 1,500 inhabitants, was once a Parliamen tary borough, and was, like many other boroughs, disfranchised in 1832. But, apart from the historic recollections with which it is asso ciated, it has claims to notice which no Par liamentary action is ever likely to destroy. It is delightfully situated on the southern coast of Cornwall, about mid-way between Plymouth and Falmouth, and about half a mile in from the open sea. It possesses a miniature harbour, all but com pletely locked up by a series of small green hills charmingly grouped. At each side of the entrance to this harbour, which, though small, contains a large draught of water, two strong towers were in the re mote days of Edward IV. erected, and a stout iron chain constructed, which was to be drawn from one to the other, with the view, no doubt, of more effec tually securing the town against the attacks of the French. To-day the towers are ruins, and of the chain there are only two links in existence, which are carefully preserved in the grotto at Menabilly, the seat of Mr. W. Rashleigh, the representative of a family who, with the Treffrys, have from time immemorial been distinguished in the history of the locality, and have frequently been its representative in the House of Commons. The harbour itself is not more than a quarter of a mile wide, and snugly nestled under the hills ; on its north side is Fowey, while on its south side, and almost immediately opposite, is situated the little town of Polruan, which, without any greater pretensions than Fowey on the score of size, and with less on many other grounds, used in better times also to send its representative to Parlia ment. The struggle for pre-eminence would seem to have been highly injurious to both places, and has ended in their being deprived of that political im- portance to which each, no doubt, conceived itself to be justly entitled. Into the pretty haven which divides them the Osborne steamed at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, having just occupied three hours on the voyage from Plymouth. The hour was early, but not too early for the loyalty of the good peOple of Fowey, who were ready to give the Prince and Princess a salute which, if they were still asleep, must speedily have awakened them from their slumbers. In ac- cordance, however, with the wish of his Royal Highness, the salute was postponed until 2 o'clock, when it was thundered forth by the Fowey and Polruan batteries, served by the men of the Naval Reserve, of which force, mythical though it may be in the eyes of General Peel, there are something like 100 members stationed in this quarter. Shortly afterwards Lord Portman, Lord Warden of the Stanneries, accompanied by Mr. Lowry, Vice- Consul for Sweden and Norway, went on board the royal yacht, and to them it was notified that the Prince and Princess would land at 11 o'clock. Pre- cisely at that hour their Royal Highnesses and suite, with the Duke of St. Albans, and the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, who reached Fowey in the Undine a few hours after the arrival of the Osborne, entered the barge which was to convey them on shore. From thy; moment they did so until they reached the landing-place the crowds assembled there—for the inhabitants of Fowey turned out en masse to meet the Prince and Princess—cheered vociferously. Their Royal Highnesses were met a t the Victoria-stairs, at the foot of Albert-quay, a little spot flanked on each side by a few houses and not much more than the breadth of an ordinary street, by Lord Vivian, Lord-Lieutenant of Corn wall, Lord Portman, Mr. Kendal, M.P., Sir C. Rashleigh, and the Rev. Dr. Treffry, of " the Place,' who, on the part of the inhabitants of Fowey, presented his Royal Highness with the following address : " To ALBERT EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES AND DUKE OF CORNWALL. •-- - - "May it please your Royal Highness,—We, her Majesty's loyal subjects, the inhabitants of this ancient borough of Fowey, approach your Royal Highness with heartfelt con gratulations on the arrival of your Royal Highness and the Princess of Wales in your ancient duchy of faithful Corn wall. May your Royal Highness and your Royal Consort long live to honour this ancient duchy by occasional visits, until by God's providence your Royal Highness shall be called upon—a period which wo trust is very far distant — to reign over countless millions who now acknowledge with gratitude the benignant sway of her most gracious Majesty, your illustrious and Royal mother. Emulating the virtues of your Royal parents, may health and every earthly happiness attend your Royal Highness, her Royal Highness the Princess, and your youthful Royal progeny, and may the Giver of all good and power establish your Royal house on the throne of these realms to the latest generations." The Prince having graciously received the ad dress, the Royal party proceeded up the quay, on which a guard of honour composed of the Fowey, Polruan Par, and Charlestown Volunteer Artillery were posted, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Gilbert. At the further end of the quay two arches of evergreens, surmounted by banners, with the words, " Welcome, Albert Edward and Alexandra," and " Velkommen," were erected on each side of the granite memorial raised in com memoration of the visit of the Queen and the late Prince Consort to the town in 1846, and to which the attention of the Prince was for a moment drawn by Mr. Treffry. Flags and evergreens were also profusely displayed throughout most of the streets, whilst some of the small craft in the harbour were all but extinguished in bunting. A. crimson flag with the plume of the Prince of Wales, and the initials " A.E.A.," floated from Point Neptune, the marine villa of Mr. W. Rashleigh, situated at the entrance to the harbour, and from one of the turrets of " the Place" the Royal standard was dis played. To this his ancient residence, with its battlements, constructed in former times for the purposes of defence, frowning on the little town below them, the Royal party were conducted from the quay by Mr. Treffry. But it was by no means the first time that a the Place" has been honoured with the pre sence of Royalty. Edward the Black Prince was entertained within its walls, while in her own times her Majesty and the Prince Consort paid it a visit. Yesterday the Prince and Princess were shown over the principal rooms, which contain many objects of great interest, accumulated since the days when Sir J. Treffry was knighted at Cressy. With the Por phyry Hall, which is a structure of quite recent date, they :expressed themselves particularly pleased. This hall, which is to be the new entrance hall of " the Place "—for all the arrangements connected with it have not yet been completed—is about 36 feet in length, by 20 in width and 30 in height. Its walls are built of solid red prophyry, slightly dabbled and beautifully polished, while the arched roof is of polished grey granite, intersected by ribs of porphyry, all the materials used in its construc tion being drawn from Cornwall itself. Over the doorway is a glass window, richly stained, and on the left of the hall an oriel, commanding a delight ful prospect. A chair manufactured by the cor poration of Exeter for Queen Elizabeth, on the oc casion of her visiting that city, forms portion of the furniture. On the outside of " the Place" is a small effigy of the lady to whom allusion has been already made, as having gallantly driven the French from the house while her husband was away. Having closed their examination of this and seve ral other interesting objects, the Royal party pro ceeded to Par, which is at a distance of about four miles from Fowey, to witness the process of ex tracting a piece of silver, 6,000 ounces in weight, from the furnace of the silver-smelting works of which Dr. Treffry is the proprietor. They then drove off to the Fowey Consols -Mine, and saw the " man engine " which is used for bringin g up and letting down the miners, a depth of 250 fathoms, at work. Here the Prince and Princess were again loudly cheered, and by none more loudly than by the little Cornish girls, tanned by the sun and over flowing with health and spirits, who work on the surface of the mines, and in whose gambols, awkwardly expressive though they might be of their devoted attachment to her person, the Princess seemed to take much pleasure. From this point-- for the day, - which had hitherto been very fine, sud denly became wet, the rain falling fast—her Royal . Highness, accompanied by the Duchess of Suther land, the Countess de Grey, the Earl of Mount- Edgcumbe, and Dr. Treffry, returned to Fowey and partook of luncheon at "the Place," whence her Royal Highness went on board the Osborne, shortly before 3 o'clock. The Prince of Wales, meantime, regardless of the weather, drove on to Restormel • Castle, which stands about nine miles inland, on a portion of the Royal property. In this castle Richard, King of the Romans, is believed to have held court. Its revels, however, are now ended. It is a fine old ruin, covered over with ivy, intrenched all round, and occupying a commanding position. In days of yore its four large dungeons, the walls of which yet stand, witnessed many a cruel scene. Its ruinous perfection is all that it has at present to recommend . it, and 4 could not yesterday afford the Prince of Wales that shelter to partake of luncheon which he obtained in its vicinity. His Royal Highness returned to Fowey about 5 o'clock, and walked, though it still rained slightly, through the streets of the town to the landing-place, and was thence rowed out to the Osborne. He was repeatedly cheered as he went along. In the evening Lord Portman, Dr. Treffry, and Colonel Peard—Garibaldi's Englishman, who re sides in this neighbourhood, and who accompanied the Prince to Restormel—had the honour of dining on board the Royal yacht, which lay in Fowey har bour until 3 o'clock this morning, when she set sail for Penzance, where, it is expected, the Prince and Princess will to-morrow be the guests of Mr. St• Aubyn. Their Royal Highnesses will, in all proba bility, pay a visit in the course of the day to Mount St. Michael. The Bay of Penzance is to be nated to-morrow night. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will leave town to-morrow on a short visit to the Duke of Richmond at Goodwood.; His Excellency Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, the French Ambassador, left Albert Gate House on Sunday for Faris en conge for a few weeks. The Duke of Dev.onshire and family will arrive in town next week from Chatsworth, in order to be present at the marriage of Lord Edward Cavendish, M.P., and Miss Lascelles. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester have left town on a visit to their Serene Highnesses Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar at Molcome, near Good wood, for the race week. The Marquis and Marchioness of Normanbh with the Earl of Mulgrave and family, have arrived at the Prince of Wales's Hotel, Scarborough, for the season.
