" Still more recently the university have had the privilege of enrolling your Royal Highness among its students. The university now gladly avail themselves of the opportunity of welcoming a Prince who has won from his instructors so much esteem as well as affec tion in his youth.

Of these associations some are derived from recollections of the circumstance to which you have adverted, that my lamented father held and valued the degreee with which you have to-day been pleased to honour me ; others are the result of my own ex perience of the university, and the many happy and I trust profitable days which I spent whilst studying within its walls. To the expression of these personal feelings I must add the gratification with which I find the university so intimately connected with the Industrial Museum, which we are about to open, by the contribution of its collections of natural history to that institution. I will only observe, in conclu sion, that I trust I may have frequent opportunities of evincing my interest in this seat of learning, and of cultivating the acquaintance of the eminent men who preside over it. CRYSTAL PALACE. — WHITSUNTIDE. NJ DYKWYNKYN'S GRINNING JOEY will astonish the Holiday Visitors Daily.. This part of the ceremonial being finished, his Royal Highness, accompanied by the Lord Provost, the Vice-President of the Committee of COuncil on Education, the Lord Justice General, the Lord Ad vocate, the Lord Justice Clerk, the Principal of the University, and the Commander in Chief for Scot land, about 3 o'clock proceeded to the Museum, which immediately adjoins the college. Here the party were received by Professor Archer, the Regius keeper of the Museum, and Capt. Donnelly, H.M. Inspector of the Science and Art Department, by magistrates and town - coantit in'tneleenucau ruties were assembled. When the party had taken up their position, Prince Alfred requested the Rev. Dr. Lee, a dean of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, to open the proceedings with prayer. This having been done, the city clerk read to his Royal Highness an address from the Lord Provost, magistrates, and town coun- - cii, of which the following is a copy :-- To HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALFRED. " May it please your Royal Highness, " We, the Lord Provost, magistrates, and coun cil of this city, desire for ourselves, as well as on behalf of the community over which we preside, to offer your Royal Highness the expression of our warmest welcome to Edinburgh. "As the son of our beloved Queen, and as au alumnus of our university, yourßoyal Highness can never fail to be received here with affection and en thusiasm ; but the circumstances of your present visit, and the associations connected with this cere monial, excite peculiar andmingled emotions. In re lation to this very building, your illustrious father performed one of the latest acts of his useful and noble life. Ever anxious to lend the aid of his high countenance to whatever promised to accelerate the material progress of the nation and to promote the happiness of the people, the Prince Consort laid the foundation stones of the Industrial Museum and of the new Post Office, sketching on that occasion in broad and masterly outline the influence which both institutions were calculated to exercise. " Your Royal Highness has now come amongst us to finish what was so auspiciously commenced. We accept your presence, for such a purpose, as an omen of good, and an assurance that your Royal Highness, cherishing your father's high ambition, covets as your richest inheritance some portion of such a life, a heart, a mind, as his.' " The citizens of Edinburgh will associate this institution with the name of the Queen and the memory of her illustrious Consort ; and we fondly hope that the study of the valuable collection of in dustrial products which it contains may serve to stimulate the energy of future generations, and enable Scotland to send forth many workers to do good service to our common country 'in fruitful strifes and rivalries of peace.' " We humbly ask your Royal Highness to receive the renewed assurances of our loyalty and attach- ment to the Queen, her person, Crown, and family. It is our earnest prayer that her Majesty may long be spared to reign over a great, a happy, and a prosperous country." The LORD PROVOST then said—May it please your Royal Highness, I have the proud and envied privilege, as chief magistrate of this city, to present you with the document constituting your Royal Highness an honorary citizen of this ancient capital. In doing so, I am affected with a variety of emotions, to which I cannot adequately give utterance. A leading feeling in my mind at this moment, how ever, is the consciousness that I am officially ad dressing a living and conspicuous representative of a long and double line of Royal ancestors which stretches back to the dim mists of antiquity—a line which on the one hand extends through the Tudors and Plantagenets toWilliam of Normandy, and which on the other, in an equally unbroken chain of consan- guinity, reaches through the Stewarts and Bruces to Malcom Canmore and his famed Anglo-Saxon Queen. But independently of these historical associations, and reflecting on topics more congenial to the pre sent occasion, I am affected by the consideration that your illustrious father initiated on this spot— the ancient Kirk of Field—a movement of great im- portance to the prosperity of this section of the United Kingdom, ,and of immense benefit .to Edinburgh in particular. It cannot, I think, be but a pleasing thing for your Royal High ness to see this day so far completed that mag nificent museum devoted to the promotion of the scientific and industrial arts which was begun by the late Prince Consort. Thanks to the department which takes charge of such matters, the collection of works of art is already most valuable and instruc tive. And I should fain hope that the energy and patriotism which to this extent successfully carried Z.Z.Z PRICE.... ld. STAMPED sd. I forward the collection will not flag until the whole is perfected according to the original design. For myself, I humbly trust to be neither a useless nor an indifferent spectator of this national enterprise, but to be able to lend dignity to so magnificent a structure, by the endeavour to open up a new and broad thoroughfare worthy of the establishment. Speaking in the presence of so large a concourse of citizens, I ven t ure to express the wish that they will help me by doing their part towards the con templated imp rovements. As regards the more immediate object in hand, the presentation of the diploma or burgess -ship, the gift is, in one sense, of little or no value, yet we trust you will accept it as a token of our good-will ; nor can it he quit e f orgotten that the citizens b of Edin burgh of every degree have been noted for their b l o e y r al i nattachmentmt a o n t y h e i I C I u r s o t r m i , n o u , s and i e that s t t h a e t y es n m u e m n, and princes, among whom I may only recall the names of John Hampden, Earl G rey, L or d Pal merston, and your Royal highness's father, the Prince Consort. It only remains for me, as Lord Provost, to perform the pleasing duty of placing the diploma in your hands. Prince ALFRED, in acknowledgment, said—My Lord Provost, magistrates, and g ent lem: i n i , ex a p ee res ep . t my sincere thanks for the hearty welcome which I s h i a o v n e of th w is hi d e a h y y re o e u ei h ved ave i s n o E il d ,a i rm nb l u y rg g h t , ven in your address. The loyalty of this city and its inhabi tants is well known and highly valued by the Queen ; and I shall not fail to bring under the notice of her Majesty the feelings of attach ment to her person, crown, and family expressed by you in behalf of the community of which lam now proud to say I form a part by having just re ceived at yo ur h an d s th e f ree d om o f thi s ancient city. The occasion which has now called me amongst you, and the work of which I have been deputed to announce the completion, naturally recalls a feeling of mournful regret that my father could not have been spared to finish the work which he began, and in which he took so warm an interest. The opportu nity which has been afforded me of taking a part in this important ceremony emboldens me to express my strong desire to follow the footsteps of the Prince Consort, however feebly, in promoting those peaceful arts and sciences so necessary to the wel fare of the nation, so intimately associated with his name. This museum, including as it does, collec tions of natural history and geology, and passing onwards to other applications of industry, and hav ing illustrations also of the means of adorning them by art, gives to this institution a comprehensiveness I am not aware of any other museum possessing. The Prince was then invited by Professor Archer to inspect the museum, which his Royal Highness did, accompanied by a select party. Upon their re turn to the dais, Prince Alfred declared the museum to be open, which declaration was publicly stated by the senior herald, and was presently announced to those outside by a flourish of trumpets, and by the firing of a royal salute from the castle guns. The band then piayed the National Anthem, which brought the proceedings to a close, and his Royal Highness, after again perambulating the building, amidst the enthusiastic cheering of the large assem bly, withdrew. His Royal Highness subsequently visited the new General Post-office, opened a fortnight ago, after which he returned to the Douglas Hotel. The Prince again walked out in the evening, accompanied by the Hon. E. Yorke, returning to dinner at 8, and leaving by the limited mail train for the south at half-past 9. - Naval and Military Intelligence.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will he required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to givo bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEI 4 .:TII are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a bystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialito tertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth arc cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

On Saturday his Royal Highness Prince Alfred visited Edinburgh, in compliance with a request which had been made that he should formally inau gurate the new Industrial Museum, the foundation stone of which was laid by his father, the late Prince Consort, only two months before his death. During the stay of Prince Alfred in this city, while prose cuting his studies at the university, his frank and open disposition gained for him the confidence and respect of all his associates, and he became a great favourite with all classes of the community. His present visit to the city was deemed au appropriate occasion for conferring public honours upon him, and it was therefore resolved by the corporation to present him with the freedom of the city, and by the Senatus Academicus of the University to confer on him the degree of LL.D. Prince Alfred, attended by the Hon. E. Yorke, arrived in Edinburgh about a quarter past 7 on Sa turday morning by the limited mail train from Lon don, by the North-Western line. He was received on the platform by the Lord Provost (Mr W. Cham bers, of Glenormiston, the well-known publisher), and Professor Lyon Playfair. Carriages were in waiting, and his Royal Highness was at once driven to the Douglas Hotel, in St. Andrew's-square, where he had breakfast. In the course of the forenoon the Prince, accompanied by the Hon. Mr. Yorke, took a walk through the city for an hour. He then re turned to the hotel, where he remained till shortly before one o'clock, when he drove to the Lord Provost's private residence in Chester-street in the official carriage of Lord Belhaven, her Majesty's Lord High Commissioner for Scotland. There was a large party present to meet his Royal lligh ness, amongst whom were the magistrates of the city, Lord President M'Neill, Lord Ardmillan, and the Lord Advocate. Shortly after two the party left his lordship's re sidence to proceed to the university, his royal high ness, who was dressed in Highland costume, taking his seat in the state carriage of the Lord High Com missioner—an open carriage drawn by four horses, and escorted by a troop of the 4th Hussars. The route was by Princes-street and North and South Bridges—the latter portion being lined by the Hussars and the 72d Highlanders. The Prince was enthusiastically cheered along the whole route, and frequently bowed in acknowledgment of the cordial greeting thus given him. At the university he was received by a guard of honour of the 72d, and on entering the quadrangle by the University Volun teers—the band of the 4th Hussars playing the National Anthem. Upon alighting lie was received by Sir David Brewster, the Principal of the University and the members of the Senatus Acade- -,- j.:141r:13 \ p • I , ..... 1, a (.._ e- ---- ; 2:2, _ ---,,.;..1---' ::, N'',-: ....• When charged and laid down i ;pt`'~ 1t: these Jacobi torpedoes were su iiiktitel - h - yeF-„f..... , :,./ cular plate of metal standing ofilatittailr 'kIW.Z. -i n_ ~, / water and working on a strong spiry lserin -- til-n.-' eccentric joint. This spring kept apart N Obi points, but any pressure upon the metal plate above —by the keel or bilge of a passing ship —pressed down the spring, brought the two gold points to gether, completed the electric circuit, and of course exploded the torpedo. The whole affair was very simple and accompanied with a certainty of action when brought into contact, by downward pressure, with another body, and yet, although these formi dable missiles may have formed an insurmountable barrier to the entry of our fleets into the harbour of Cronstadt or Sweaborg, they did no damage to the ships of the allied squadrons during the war. Any ship must steam directly over and strike such tor pedoes before they can be brought to act upon her, and it is the increase of the chances of a torpedo so acting upon a passing ship suggested by the trials of Mr. Abel's torpedo primers that invested those trials with greater interest than would otherwise have been attached to them. For the trial of these "primers" two boat's breakers were filled with gunpowder, with the primer fixed through the bung of the breaker. This primer has treble tubes, one within the other. The outer tube is of vulcanised gutta percha of about one-eighth of an inch in substance, with a thin leaden tube next enclosing a glass tube, the latter containing a well-known chemical agent. This treble tube is surmounted by a brass cap, from which lead ropes radiating in various directions from the tube capped torpedo, the object of this arrangement being that a passing vessel missing the torpedo should catch one or other of the ropes with her keel, and so, bending the tube or primer, break the glass inner tube, liberate its contents, and explode the torpedo. A passing ship might or might not be damaged to any material extent by such explosion, according to the distance of the torpedo from the ship's bottom ; but might not such a plan of firing tor pedoes be co m bi ne d w i t h ano th er o f fl oat i ng or i t i a l e l f ;l s i i u p n s keennd wreckagee..ivouri ng ftoor force fouling their p the screws through of s ho s- roadsteads or entrances to harbours and rivers? The use of torpedoes in • marine warfare will possibly never become certain until a submarine torpedo boat having a power of descending from and as cending to the surface of the water at the pleasure of its crew, with an abundant supply of air for a lengthened stay under water, and a simple motive power to direct and control its course, is p er f ected. ' In Le Plongeur, now lying in the basin of Cher bourg dockyard, the French navy possesses a vessel of the kind, which appears to have failed only from too much having been attempted in the endeavour to make Le Plongeur a sub-marine gun vessel, in lieu of a " torpedo-fixer." Our own mechanicia • • ns and chemists, independently of any official sanction or support, have given the subject much consideration, and a design for such a boat has been so far com pleted that its rough drawings have been privately submitted to persons fully competent to form a sound opinion on so important a subject, and their verdict has been favourable in the most complete sense. It is believed that such a vessel could, with perfect immunity from harm to herself, destroy with torpedoes any number of hostile vessels entering any of our numerous roadsteads or rivers, or even if engaged in reconnoitring any part Of our coast line.
