The Illustrated News thus speaks of the magnificent steamship Alexandra :—" The deck saloons, formed upon the plan of the hurricane deck known in America, consti tute the great novelty. . . . . This is considered a great advantage to the present steamship. Her burden is 157.29 tons, and, being flat-bottomed, her draught of water is scarcely four feet, enabling her, therefore, to carry the weight of a deck saloon, &c. .. . . Her horse-power is calculated at 140. . . . She is capable of travelling at the rate of 20 miles an hour. . . . She is calculated to carry 1,048 passengers, and these can be so distributedthat there need be no fear of ' overcrowding.'" Fare for the Review, 21s. No luggage allowed.

We aro requested to state that in consequence of the im mense number of gentlemen intending to shoot in the great handicap on Thursday next at these grounds, Offer, who supplies the birds, has received orders to be on the ground at twelve o'clock with 100 dozen of his best blue rocks. Dramatic Fete and Fancy Fair. That it is good to be merry and wise, as well as, to be honest and true, may be remembered among the wholesome recommendations of a certain old ballad, which conveniently set forth in a lyrical form a curiously concise code of morals. The song may have exerted through successive generations a direct beneficial influence over the hearts of its hearers quite sufficient to justify the oft-quoted re mark of Fletcher of Saltoun ; but wh itever effect it may have had in the past, there can be no doubt the sentiment was felt in its fullest force at the Crystal Palace on Satialay. Neither better merri ment nor more profound wisdom could easily be dis - covered in conjunction than at the annual fete and fancy fair, which remind so many thousands at Sydenham of the existence of the Royal Dramatic College at Maybury. Prudence, under the mask of Fun, has already invited many to listen to her sug gestions who would otherwise sh r i n k f rom th e grave utterance of a formal lecture on the vicissi tudes of Fortune, and we have long since found out that charityis not the less a dignified cardinal virtue for occasionally donning the cap and bells, and em broideiing the white robe with motley devices. When actors and actresses assemble at the Crystal Palace to augment the fund they have raised in maintenance of the asylum for their less prosperous brethren and sisters, they work with a will to lighten even other hearts than those of the aged and infirm inmates of the Dramatic College. Dull must he be of soul who could have passed by any of the " shows" of Saturday without feeling more buoyant in spirits for their contemplation. That a closer intimacy with the wonders on view gene rally led to the further removal of all weight about the region of the pocket only further testified to the force of the agency employed. There is a supply of amusement provided on these occasions which ought to satisfy the most eager appetite for mirth, and, to do the public justice, they evince a relish even of a feast which is found occasionally to partake of a Barmecidal character, that always shows a kindly determination to make the most of the good feeling with which the entertainment is given. Many counteracting influences on Saturday drew a large number of the usual supporters of the fete away in other directions ; but as if the grand law of compensation operated to make amends for the deficiency, the Thespian festival was on this occasion honoured by the presence of an illustrious visitor, who will have to be recognised in the sentence which records the profits of the day as a noun of multitude signifying many. At an early period reports were circulated that the Viceroy of Egypt was likely to attend the Dramatic College Fete, and his arrival was awaited with considerable eagerness. Soon after fuur o'clock his Highness entered the building, accompanied by their Excellencies Raghib Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Telaat Pasha, Chief of his Highness's Council ; General Seymour, Colonel Stainton, and Mr. Larkin. The Viceroy was received at the central transept entrance by Mr. lonides and the other directors and chief officers of the company, who then conducted his Highness through the Egyptian and Roman corridors, across the nave by the Renaissance and Italian Courts, to the open balcony communicating with the Royal box, which was specially prepared for the reception of the Prince of Wales on the occasion of the late festival in aid of the Restoration Fund. The Viceroy gazed with evident delight on the thoroughly English landscape which was before him, and the upper series of fountains being brought into play the grounds of the Palace were presented under their most effective aspect. From the Royal box the Viceroy then surveyed the busy scene which was being enacted in the central transept, and the surging movements of the throng, the tasteful appearance of the stalls with their fair occupants, the clamorous invitations of the managers of the various shows, and the zeal with which all the " entertainers" were en gaged in their various departments produced a visible impression on the distinguished spectator. The interest which his Highness took in the fete was increased by au explanation of the object for which it had been organised, and with a munifi cence which will be long gratefully remembered, the Viceroy added to the funds of the Royal Dra matic College the sum of five hundred pounds, giving at the same time another donation of five hundred pounds to assist in restoring that portion of the Crystal Palace destroyed by the late fire. It scarcely needed a knowledge of his Highness's gene rosity to increase the enthusiasm of i the assemblage. They had previously greeted the Viceroy after a truly English fashion, but on these facts becoming known the acclamations which resounded from every part of the building were naturally intensified, and as each successive announcement of the princely gift was made to the audience at the different ex hibitions, it became the signal for a series of pro longed and often renewed cheers. llis Highness and suite left the Palace at half past five. The general arrangements of the fete differed in no essential respect from the plan adopted in past years, which had its justification in the belief that by no other mode could so large a sum for the Col lege be raised in so short a time, and with so much amusement to the public. For many more than the 16,000 visitors there was, indeed, no lack of amuse ment provided, even if they pursued the unprofit able course of passing from end to end of the nave, without deigning to enter one of the many alluring exhibitions ranged along the sides. Among these temporary edifices the usual pro m i nen t pl ace was n o ic f ha th rd e s s o t r a i g 's e, Show," where that esteemed w ass as i found his old po s t as money -t a k er; Mr. Robert Keeley, assigned s atjeldi to veteran t b o e ' thus giving a countenance always secure of respectful recognition to this counterfeit presentment of the famous booth fraught with recollections of Green wich and Bartlemy. To those old enough to remember the kind of theatrical entertainment then enjoyed with such zest, and got through with such rapidity, the mimic representation of the Richard sonian drama must have afforded intense delight. The parade, with its motley throng of hirsute ban dits and buff-booted cavaliers, perpetually engaged in broad-sword combats, its dense population of pan tomimic personages, its indispensable clown, and its traditionary countryman, were maintained through out the day in a state of unflagging activity. If the audiences who afterwards gathered within retired with a somewhat confused notion of the plot of that exciting melodrama, " The Rightful Heir; or, the Ghost of the Hollow Beech Tree," their high ap preciation of the author and the actors was in no degree affected by the circumstance. When the legi timate was essayed, Shakspere's "Richard the 'Third," reduced from five acts to five scenes, was got through in as many minutes. It is no disparage ment to the tremendously tragic powers of Mr. J. Clarke as the crook-backed king, or of the histrionic abilities of Mr. J. G. Shore as Richmond, and Mr. H. J. Montague as Catesby, to record that roars of laughter followed every exit, and that when the Ghost of King Henry appeared at the end In a blaze of blue fire the spectral visitation excited only irreve rent mirth. It will in like manner not affect the repu t Ilion of Mr. J. Robins for courage to declare that wl:en he appeared among the wild animals exhibited in Wombwell's menagerie that his perilous position created amusement rather than alarm, and if we also aid that most of the statements made by the keeper with regard to the natural history of the inmates of the caravan were not implicitly believed, the strict veracity of Mr. Addison beyond the canvas boun dary will still remain unimpugued. Should Mr. J. L. Toole, who prefaced the performances of his clever Japanese troupe by a lecture on Japan, be ac cused of affording the smallest amount of geographical information, he may be accredited, on the other hand, with enlightening his hearers on every other topic, and atleast nothing could be more nationally characteris tic than the " happy despatch" with which he dis missed one audience to minister to the diversion of another. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul had to con tend with the disadvantage of "an auditorium" which allowed every sound to penetrate from with out, and permitted hardly anything to be beard within ; but here, as in other places, it was pleasant to find the imagination was kept in a healthy state of activity. Mr. Buckstone zealously devoted him self to the encouragement of athletic pursuits, though compelled through indisposition to remain for only a short period ; and if those who took les sons under his guidance are not by this time stronger of arm and lighter in purse, the fault rests not with the liberal distributors of the prizes, nor with his able assistants, Mr. Frank Matthews and Mr. 11. Widdicotnb. To protect the professional ladies who presided at the stalls from that excessive attention which was found in preceding years more compli mentary to their attractions than profitable to the institution, a light wooden railing fenced off the crowd of mere gazers and left a commodious alley open to all intending purchasers. Those who once entered here might leave all hope behind of reach ing the further extremity of the avenue without at least carrying about them a sufficient collection of autographs and photographs to render the hand writing and the features of every notable personage in the kingdom a matter of easy identification. Of the earnestness with which the occupants of the stalls and the providers of the various forms of entertainment exerted themselves to promote the cause in which they were collectively engaged evi dence was afforded at every turn. The visit of the Viceroy may be remembered as the distinguishing feature of this year's fete, but if not prominently remarkable in other respects, it is worth noting that the unflagging zeal and unabated activity of all concerned in its management remain as conspicuous as ever. If the funds of the Royal Dramatic Col lege are not materially augmented by the proceeds of that popular fete and fancy fair which is to be resumed this morning, there will be an excuse for losing faith in the power of feminine persuasion, denying the attractive influence of varied and amus ing entertainments, and being wholly sceptical as to there being any advantage in the recommenda tion of a good cause. THE NORTII LONDON SWIMMING CLUB. To show the increasing popularity of the useful science of natation, the above club, scarcely six months old, but yet numbering upwards of 50 members, had their first public race on Saturday, in the Pond, Lower-heath, Hamp stead, when, notwithstanding the showery afternoon, some thousands assembled. Next to the Serpentine there could not be well imagined a better plac for not only test ing the merits of the swimmers, but also for seeing the con tests. The pond is exactly 200 yards in length, and its greatest depth 35 feet. There was a strong muster at the club houso adjoining, Mr. Rowland Hill's "Freemasons' Arms," Downshire-hill, and at the time appointed all re paired to the heath, the weather being all that could be required. The race was A HANDICAP OF FOUR HUNDRED YARDS. —Out of the 17 entries 11 put in an appearance, namely, W. Williams and C. Carling, with two minutes start ; E. 11. White, 1 min. 50 sec.; R. Rousen, W. Wilkie, and C. Elphinstono 1 min. 20 sec.; G. Olden and T. W. Mingay, 50 sec.; G. Colo, 25 sec.; and J. Cole and W. Cole, 20 sec. start. The prizes were a fine Leander medal for the first; a silver Victoria medal for second (given by D. Pamplin, who swims Gurr for the championship this morning), and a small silver medal for the third. On the eleven competitors appearing on tho platform it was an interesting as well as an exciting scone. Mr. Harry Loverell, of the Field, kindly undertook tho'duties of starter; ?Ir. G. 11. Vize, the noted swimmer, was timekeeper; Mr. Rowland Hill acted as judge; and Mr. Charles G. Powell, the president of the club, had the general management, and under the latter's judicious arrangements this, the first race, was brought off satisfactorily, and to whose courtesy wo arm much indebted. On the word "Go" the first two breasted the water to gether ; the three next, in the order given above, made a straggling affair of it, but the others got off well with the exception of little Elphinstone (a mere stripling), who lost start altogether ; so well and pluckily, however, did the lat ter swim that he quickly overtook and passed the five in front of him and rounded the flag first (half the distance) in 4 min. 10 sec. ; G. Cole came next ; then G. Olden, followed by J. Cole, the rest, with tho exception of White, who had given up, close together ; the return journey increased the excitement, each being urged in his exertions by the shouts from the thousands on tho banks; Elphinstone gamely kept in front on turning for nearly 50 yards, when he was passed by the Coles, Olden, and Mingay; between the latter six a fine struggle took place ; at 30 yards from home G. Cole was leading, when that fine powerful swim mer J. Cole came out in grand form, collared the leading man a few strokes from home, and eventually won, amidst loud cheers, by a bare yard, G. Cole second, W. Cole third, G. Olden (three yards behind the latter) fourth, T. W. Mingay fifth, and the game little Elphinstone sixth ; the rest did not persevere. The time occupied in the race was exactly 7m. 31sec. ; the winner, J. Cole (allowing for the lm. 40 sec. start he gave), accomplished the 400 yards in sm. 54 sec. Mr. S. Leslie Nibbs's ornamental swimming and floating was really wonderful to witness ; his performance alone was a real treat, and worth the journey to see. Tho prizes will be presented to the winners at the club meeting at Mr. Rowland Hill's, "Freemason's Arms," on Wednesday evening next. A good deal of speculation on Gurr and Pamplin's match took place. Pigeon Shooting. WELSH HARP, HENDON. So successful did the novel water shooting at Hendon prove on Saturday week that a Free Handicap was made for Saturday last. The card contained the names of no fewer than 108 noblemen and gentlemen, of whom only. 26 put in an appearance, the field mustering 29 with the addi tion of three post entries. The morning in town was very dull and threatening, and rain falling heavily during the afternoon the attendance was only limited. After a sharp thunderstorm the traps became very wet, and the birds hanging, a largo number were killed and wounded. Even under most favourable circumstances the pontoon system is by no means a favourable shooting test, as the birds do not face the water, and rising immediately, without any "dash," they fall an easy prey to the marksman. As a proof of the facility for making good scores, six of the competitors killed all their pigeons (7), and in shooting off the ties the Marquis Graham had to score his fifteenth successive bird before he became entitled to the first prizo (£B5). Col. Owen Williams, who " broke down" after the fourteenth roun', took second money (.£35), and the third (£l5) was secured by Mr. Rogers. Betting previous to the Handicap was very brisk, Capt. Fredericks, a very fine shot, and Mr. Rogers being most in demand, and the former was unfortunate enough to miss the first bird iu the tics. All round the execution was of a most deadly nature, 131 "kills" being recorded against 42 "misses." The ground arrangements, under the personal superinten dence of Mr. Warner, the host of the Harp, were of the usual excellent character. THE GUN CLUB, SHEPHERD'S BUSH. Notwithstanding the groat attractions at Wimbledon, Lord's Ground, and Hendon, the attendance at this ground on Saturday was large and the sports interesting and specu lative, no less than eleven handicap sweepstakes of £1 each being brought to a satisfactory issue; but in conse quence of the superior quality of the birds supplied byOffer, the wagering was from 6 to 4 to 7 to 4 only on the gun, at which price large sums of money chaiiged ovum The The National Rifle Association. The unfortunate change in the weather which so spoiled what would otherwise have been the impos ing spectacle of the reception of the Belgians by the Prince of Wales, had a considerable effect on the shooting. During a portion of the afternoon of Saturday the rain poured dawn in such torrents as to make practice au impossibility. Shooters and register-keepers were alike driven to seek the scant shelter that the camps afforded. Many volunteers, from the time thus lost, were unable t) fire in com petitions for which they were entered, while the pool targets were of course deserted, to the great loss of the Association. This interruption was the more to be regretted as the programme embraced a very large number of competitions. The first important match of the day was for the China Challenge Cup, a piece of plate, value £525, given by the volunteers in China for competition amongst the home volunteers. To this the National Rifle Association add £5O. The conditions of the competition are that each county shall send a squad of ten efficient volunteers to fire at 200 and 500 yards, five shots at each range. The squad making the highest score take the cup, which remains for the year in the custody of the Lord Lieutenant of their county, and a purse of £25. The second squad takes a purse of £l5, and the third a purse of £lO. The competition took place before the rain came on, and was therefore satisfactorily con cluded. The winners were the West Yorks, who made 296 marks, or within a fraction of an average of centres. The second squad—that sent by the Queen's Edinburghs—were only a short distance behind with 293 marks, and the Staffordshire ten came in third with 288 marks. The second competition of the day was that for the Belgian Challenge Cup, a piece of plate pre sented by the Chasseurs Eclaireurs and other Bel gian visitors to Wimbledon in 1866, for volley firing. The National Rifle Association add £75, divided into £3O for the first squad, £2O for the second, £l5 for the third, and £lO for the fourth squad. The conditions are a squad of ten men from any battalion, each squad to fire five rounds kneeling at 400 yards, in accordance with the army regulations for volley firing. The squad making the highest score wins the cup, which is held by the commanding officer. The bad weather interfered so much with the shooting' that it was impossible to finish this competition. The squad sent by the Berkshire battalion, and made up from the Windsor Company, was understood to stand very high amongst those firing on Saturday ; but whatever may be their score, they deserved great credit for the soldierlike, automatic style in which they worked together. In the contest for the Martin's Challenge Cup, with £5O added by the Association, the conditions of which are that marksmen of 1866 and 1867 only shall fire five rounds with the Enfield, the winners and scores were as follows : .........

This second prize was a piece of plate value £25, presented by the proprietors of Land and Water. The winner was Private J. Road, o f the 14th Staffordshire, who scored the best 18 that was in the competition, no ono being able to approach- nearer than that, the " highes t possible" of Sergt. Major Cooke. On Friday and Saturday the struggle for the Albert series of prizes commenced. It will be con tinued to-day, and close to-morrow evening. It is the first of the small -bore competitions of the meet ing for a series at 200, 500, GOO, and 800 yards, each of the value of £l3O. The accuracy of small bore men is nosv so great that it is hardly likely that less than the " highest possible" will take a prize at any of the ranges. The names of several well known good shots gere mentioned as having attained the maximum of 20 marks, and by the time the score closes, the cream of the best shots of the United Kingdom will appear on the register. The competition for the Enfield Association Cup closed on Saturday. The marvelloas score of 37, three short of the highest possible, made by Mr. Edward Ross, and Private Marsh of the 12th Nor folk, was never touched, though several eompetitors totalled up 36 marks, Mr, NarBll, theixfore l from . // ~ ~ ~~ . PRICE Id. STAMPED sd. making the highest score at 500 yards, becomes the winner of the prize. A similar contest for a cup for small-bore mem bers of the Association coinnienced o❑ Saturday, but from the unfavourable weather very few persons shot for it. The sixty highest scorers in the first stage of the Queen's Prize paraded at 9.45 a.m. on Saturday morning in front of the Council, and had the mili tary Whitworth rifles served out to them, with which they will compete in the second stage. Targets were placed at their disposal for sighting, and they will continue their practice to-day before commenc ing the grand contest of the meeting to-morrow morning. In the second series of extra prizes, for Enfields, at 500 yards, five rounds, the following is the cor rected list of prize winners : SECOND SERIES, EXTRA PRIZES. Prize Pt s. i Prizo 1.

As a sequel to the International Enfield Match, there is a competition by the highest scorer in each team, for the possession of a splendid piece of plate called "The Irish International Challenge Trophy." The three highest scorers were Private Smythe, of the Ist Lanark, for Ireland, who made on Tuesday last the fine score of 68 ; Private Hay, of the Lon don Scottish, for Scotland, who made 65 ; and Corporal Rumball, of the 3d Herts, for England, who made 63. These three excellent shots fired over the same course on Saturday (seven shots at 200, 500, and 600 yards), when Private Hay im proved on his previous score by registering 66, while the other two competitors fell off respectively, Private Smythe to 53, and Corporal Rumball to 42. Scotland, therefore, holds the trophy for the year. The match between the Lords and Commons, fixed for Saturday afternoon, and which would, but for the storm, have been the most brilliant of this series of contests between the Upper and Lower Chambers of the Legislature, was deprived of much of its interest. The crowds of fashionable specta tors who would have eagerly watched every shot of noble lords and gentlemen bad been driven away drenched and disheartened from the common. It was, therefore, no small credit to the competitors that they should have come gallantly to the scratch and contended in the most closely fought match that has yet taken place between the two Houses. Five of a side were all that could be mustered ; but these proved to be wonderfully even in skill. The conditions were 200 and 500 yards, 7 shots at each, any rifle, any position. At 200 yards the Lords were five ahead; but at 500 yards, the admirable shooting of Lord Eleho, coached by Captain Ross, Mr. Fordyce, and Mr. Malcolm, turned the scale, and the Commons became the winners by 6 marks, nominally, but really only by two, because one noble lord fired at the wrong target, making a bull's-eye, of which his squad did not get the benefit. The following are the scores and the names of the com petitors : COmmONs. 200 500 Tot. Mr. Lemont... 20 22 42 Mr. Malcolm 27 27 54 LORDS. 200 500 Tot.

Their practice excited considerable curiosity amongst the volunteers, a goodly crowd of whom sur rounded the firing points. Several of the com petitors were obviously not much accustomed to target practice. Those who made the best shooting had evidently undergone a course of musketry instruction somewhat analogous to our Hythe system. They stood to their work in good military attitude, though probably one of our Hythe staff sergeants would, in some minor details, have been able to suggest improvements. The Belgian weapons —at least those of the contingent who are row here —are far inferior to our regulation arms. They are arms of large bore, those of the Garde Civique having the appearance of smooth-bore muskets, adapted to modern requirements by being rifled with four shallow grooves. The weapon of the Chasseurs Eclaireurs is about the length of our short Enfield, but also of large bore with polygroove rifling. The artillery carry a carbine of a similar character. The musket of the Garde Civique ap pears to have a fixed block for a back sight, which would not give sufficient elevation for 500 yards. The rifle of the Chasseurs has a flap and slider to adjust the sight for different ranges. The bullet used must be heavier than the Enfield, but the charge of powder appears to be lighter. At 150 yards the practice made, though inferior to what we should expect from fairly good shots, was respectable, and at 209 yards the same result may be anticipated ; but unless the arms are much bettor than one would imagine from their appearance, the shooting at 500 yards would be very wild and unsatisfactory. Seve ral of the Belgians fired a round or two from the Enfield with results that show they would soon be able to do well with them. It is, therefore, the the consideration of the council wh ether for t e series a few good Enfields m i g ht not be provided for the Belgian marksmen, so that th e competition might be conducted with some little satisfaction to all concerned. f° e d i n the Yesterday Divine service wag : 3 i morning under the large shelter a tt e nded, as t e r e m r . p D r I leeh men ts ta from all the voluntee r corps in o lice.

On Saturday his Imperial Highness the S u lt an paid a visit to her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle, where the illustrious visitor was received with befitting state. The streets of Windsor were decorated, and from the houses banners and flags were hung, or were suspended on cords stretched across the roadway. Great crowds of people, gaily dressed, thronged the footways, and filled the win dows. The acclatnations of welcome with which the Sultan was received in the Royal borough were very marked, and they were gracefully acknow ledged by his Imperial Highness. Shortly before 11 o'clock the Sultan, attended by a numerous suite, filling 19 Royal carriages, left Buckingham Palace, escorted by a detachment of the Royal Horse Gu trds (Blue), and was driven to the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway. The Royal reception rooms, as well as the station, were tastefully decorated with •.ctch effect. Many choice plants and flowers wcee dis posed in the waiting rooms, and on that portion of the platform reserved for the Royal train which was to convey the illustrious travellers. The platform was carpeted, as was the front of the station where the Sultan and his suite alighted. A guard of honour of the 2d Battalion Grenadier Guards, with I th m e p ir er b i a a nd, was lnigi drawn Inesswas up re in ce s i id ved e the by st s at ir ion H D . anie ts' l Gooch, Bart., M.P., and other principal officials of the Great Western Company ; Mr. R. R EYk M.P. for Windsor, with Major-General Hooda Y t i n d s Colonel Hardinge, for the Queen. The special train, which was of seven carriages, including three magnificent Royal saloons, moved from the station at a quarter-past eleven o'clock, and reached Windsor at a few minutes before noon. Here the preparations made were very complete and of a similar character to those at Paddington. Upon the platform, in front of the Queen's waiting rooms, were their Royal Highnesses Prince Arthur and Prince Louis of Hesse, attended by their re spective suites. Prince Arthur wore the uniforin of the Royal Artillery, and Prince Louis a Prussian unform, with a helmet. The Mayor and Corpora tion of Windsor, in their dress robes, with the mace, &c., were in the waiting room. A number of spec tators had been admitted to the station, but. the platform where their Royal Highnesses stood in front of the waiting room was kept clear by lines of troops. In the courtyard of the station, where the Queen's carriages were drawn up, was a guard of honour of the Ist Battalion Scots Fusiliers, under the command of Colonel White, and a captain's escort of the 2d Life Guards, with standard, :was in waiting. The band of the 2d Life Guards was also stationed there. All the military were in full dress, and the bandsmen in their State uniforms. On alighting from the train the Sultan cordially shook hands with Prince Arthur and Prince Louis of Hesse, and was conducted to her Majesty'slcar riage, which was drawn by four white horses,' and preceded by outriders in scarlet and gold, while the Guards saluted and the band played some Turkish music. As to the procession of carriages, headed by that in which sat the Sultan and the Princes, with the principal Minister in attendance on his Imperial Highness, left the station yard, it was greeted with loud cheering, and the bells of St. George's Chapel and of St. John's Church rang peals. The carriages proceeded slowly up the crowded streets to their destination, and were every where received with the heartiest cheers, which the Sultan repeatedly acknowledged. All along the route the houses were profusely decorated with flags, &c. Leaving Park-street the procession ept into entered the Long Walk, and as it sw the Home Park a salu te of twenty-one guns was given. From the gates, the roadway leading through the grounds to the grand entrance of the Castle, between the York and Lancaster Towers, was lined with troops, on the eastern side by the 2nd Life Guards, on the western by the Ist bat talion Scots Fusiliers. The troopers were dis mounted. In the grand quadrangle of the Castle was a guard of honour, with colours and bands of the Ist Battalion Scots Fusiliers, under command of Colonel Peel. The spectacle was splendid in the extreme when the Sultan passed under the grand archway and alighted, as the troops presented arms and the band played. The Yeomen of the Guard were in attendance at the Castle, and the reception inside the palace was equal to the splendour of the public welcome without. Surrounded by the junior members of the Royal family, the principal officers of the household, and by the ladies of the Court in state costumes, her Majesty the Queen received the Sultan in the Grand Hall with a cordial greeting, advancing to meet his Imperial Highness, who, after making a salutation, bent and kissed the Queen's band. Iler Majesty kissed the Sultan's young son, Izzeddin Effendi. The Queen and her Imperial guest, with his suite, were then conducted by the Lord Chamberlain and other high officers of the H ouse hold to the Oak Parlou r, where they partook of luncheon. Covers were laid for 45. The visit lasted about one hour. His Imperial Highness the Sultan having taken farewell of her Majesty, quitted Windsor Castle, escorted and;a,ttended as before, at a little before one o'clock. At about ten minutes past one the Royal train left Windsor station for Paddington, which terminus was reached at ten minutes before two. His Imperial Highness was received here with the same ceremonial as when he started, and having entere the Royal carriage in waiting, returned under th d e same e scort to Buck ingham Palace. The Round 7able gives the following interesting remarks :—" Already China and Japan are coming to be looked upon as intimate neighbours, if not quasi-outlying provinces, of Californis, and the opening of the mail route via San Francisco has been followed by a variety of inter national enterprises. San Francisco has had for some time its Chinese newspaper and printing office, and another indication comes to us in the form of Asiatic guide books and English-Chinese phrase books, which bear the im print of California publishers upon pages of tea-box look ing text, in as matter-of-fact a way as a New York house would acknowledge the same provision for travellers to Franco or Germ an y . The Chinese and Japanese,not con tent with showing themselves in the streets of even our eastern cities until we have almost become familiar with their appearance, are reciprocating in the matter of litera ture. From San Francisco ar© to come the writings di Confucius, from Yokohama an English -Japanese c f tionary, and at P ekin and Jeddo the Bible and the 'Pil grim's Progress' aro being offered to the Orientals, and their own authors write histories o America and me moirs of W r ashingto n. In newspaper enterprise Japan vies with California, and at Jeddo is published a newspaper designed to post' its realm; in foreign news ; a re cent issue of which sheet, the 4 13ankok-Shin-Bun-Shi by name, appeared a conversation in London on the sub ject of the Panama intercontinental route. Even at Shang hai, where they light by gas and have learned photo graphy, the Tantai (governor) has bought type, presses, and the other equipments of printing offices, as they are amongst the outside barbarians, and the King of Siam has established an office under the charge of an English ma nager. At Jeddo also the Government has established a school where the English, French, and Dutch languages are to be taught. It is, we presume, for this school that the order is made for 20,000 text-books from Messrs. Ivison, Phinnoy, Blakeman, and Co., of New York. So far as Japan is concerned all this is hardly surprising, but that a desire for progress should have taken root in China seems almost incomprehensible. It is, neverthe less, a fact that Pekin is immediately to witness the estab lishment of a college for European lingual and scientific study. In 1~ most extraordinary document, the Tsong-li ya-men (Council of the School of Languages) represented the necessity to the Emperor, whom it no effectually im pressed that the memorial received the Celestial endorse ment, The Preceding is Approved.—Respect This.' In this efficacious manifesto, the wise men, after combating the general impression 'that it is contrary to Chinese dignity to allow ourselves to h e instructed by Euro pean masters.' proceed to argue that 'it is e lea . r now that Chinese genius has produced all it no :5 able to produce, and that intelli g ent persons do t conceal from themselves that, in order to walk alone in future, it must first resolve to receive fr om officers ffi eErtstraobpreoaands those sciences and arts in which it is deficient.'
