Piracy, therefore, is neither very frequent, nor, when it is committed, does it remain unknown. Scuttling vessels, or making their crews walk a plank, is a practice only of ancient times, and those who would now establish a police to pre vent it must be better read in the history of the Buccaneers than in Lloyd's Lists. Modern pi rates are all plunderers, and rarely wholesale murderers. Their humanity has outgrown the practice of drowning the whole crew to conceal the evidence of their guilt. The motives which they have for piracy lead them into some port to sell their plunder, and as almost every part of the world is now under, or near the jurisdiction of some settled Government, every act of piracy is soon published to the world, and a means taken to apprehend the pirates. It is one feature of this case, that the piracy must be committed by some one species of ves sels, while the species of vessels which traverse the seas are extremely numerous. In modern times pirate vessels are generally small, low brigs or schooners. They must be armed, and they must carry an unusual number of men. The pirate vessel must be either a schooner, a brig, a ship, or a barque. She is either long and low, or short and broad, of the size of 100 tons, or 300 tons. She is a clipper or junk, or of some particular and almost unmistakeable description. To prevent such a pirate escaping, it would not only be needless, it would be a waste of time, and tend to her escape, were the cruiser sent after him to stop and overhaul every vessel that might be in his track, though as different from him as a river-barge from one of her Majesty's war steamers. But when acts of piracy have been committed, and the pirate vessel is described, we believe that the captains and crews of merchant vessels, so far from obstructing cruisers in finding out the pirates, would, in the great majority of cases, lend their most willing aid. Their lives and pro perty are in jeopardy from the pirates, and in stead of resisting examination by any men-of war, they would appeal to the men-of-war in their vicinity, of whatever nation, for protection, and be sure to find it. Nor would any captain of a merchant vessel, nor even a captain of an Ame rican man-of-war, to whom it should be ex plained, that piracies had been committed in the neighbourhood, that his vessel corresponded to the description given of the pirate, object to show who and what he was, or in any way en deavour to thwart a cruiser which was in pur suit of some marauder. it is true that we call the slave-trade piracy, and in suppressing that we are thwarted; but, henious as the offence is, we have no right to quarrel with those nations which have not yet become, atter we had car ried it on for many years, converts to our mo dern opinions. Those who will not help us to suppress the slave-trade will willingly help us to suppress that piracy which preys on their ship ping as well as on ours. We contend, then, in opposition to those who demand a great system of maritime police to prevent or suppress piracy, that a system of police amply sufficient to the purpose already practically exists. It will be time enough to doubt it when some national flag has protected a,known and acknowledged pirate. We contend, too, that practically a recognized right of search, so far as is necessary for the suppression of piracy already exists, and is cheerfully and willingly submitted to, and enforced by, all maritime nations. We further contend that it would be quite unnecessary to stop all ships, a great Indiaman for example, even when piracy was common, committed by a Baltimore clipper per haps, to make them prove that they were not pirates, while it would be most absurd and mis chievous to stop them when no piracy was heard of. To suppose that there is a necessity for a general sea police to examine all vessels, in order to prevent piracy, is tantamount to sup posing that every man who walks or rides abroad, must be stopped by some Government authority, and made to give an account of him self, even when no robberies are ever heard of. What the Americans resist, and most justly, We read in the daily and weekly papers, in leaders and in letters, a great deal of what we -must take the liberty to denominate ignorant gabble, about Piracy, all of which ends in ,some reclamation against the monstrous folly of supposing that to hoist an American flag is to protect a pirate, or in favour of a general . police of the seas to overhaul all vessels and to secure commerce against piracy. From the per severing industry of these writers it might he supposed that every quarter of the world is in fested with pirates, who could not be put down because they are protected by some national flag. The reverse is the case, and with the exception of the slave trade, which has only recently been declared piracy—and which the money-loving planters of our colonies are _extremely anxious to renew, disguised under another name—the seas, it is believed, never were more completely free from piracy in every qtiarter than at present. We have heard of one American vessel having been recently boarded and plundered ; we have heard of pirate junks in the. Chinese seas, and of some pirate boats on the coast of Greece ; but, in general, we repeat , piracy is seldom heard of. The zeal of these scribblers to subject com merce to new thralls, is the sickly offspring of the false theory that nothing in this wide world can be well done which is not done or controlled by Governments, and which would have a police with passports for the sea, as there is upon the . land, so that no man or ship should voyage or travel an inch without a ticket from some con stituted authority. At the present day, as is now generally acknowledged, there is no part of the frorld—he it the United States, where the mone tary icystem, the offspring of Government, is is, using the suspicion of piracy as a pretext for stopping their vessels, and subjecting them to the brutal insolence of a sea police. Far from blaming them for that, we think they are per fectly in the right, and we hope that the ship owners of England will imitate their example; we are sure they will if they study their own in terest, and protest at once against establishing a general maritime police, for which a whole herd of ignorant unthinking writers are now daily and weekly calling. Sir ROBERT PEEL has given the vacant Bishopric of Chichester to Dr. GILBERT, the Principal of Brazen Nose College, and the staunch opponent of the Puseyites. He was the person who called the orthodoxy of Mr. WIL LIAMS in question, and organised the opposition to him on account of his theological opinions. For his opposition to the Puseyites and his triumph over them Sir R. PEEL has rewarded him. We at once see which theological party is in the ascendant, and that Sir ROBERT is resolved to restore harmony to the Church by quashing Puseyistn, He may affront many friends by that, he may kindle the anger of the Puseyite Post and the Puseyite Times, but he is so strong, and so much the necessity of his party, that he may despise them all, and neither Puseyite Journals, nor Puseyite Parsons, will show any anger at his decision. We think that they are very properly treated. They could not have been more contemptuously slighted had they gone to the poll and been de feated. Their retreat betrayed the insincerity of their own professions, and invited the opponents of their theology to despise them. If it be true, as asserted, that the Puseyites are merely looking for promotion in the Church, this decisive step of the Premier will soon silence them, and probably extinguish the sect for ever. That would be a pity, the men are so learned. We believe with regret that no steps have yet been taken to form and lead an Opposition dur ing the ensuing Session of Parliament. If they have, they are so secret that those most inte rested in the knowledge have received no com munication on the subject. This is not as it should be; and if the late leaders of the Li beral party decline the honour, perhaps be cause they cannot make up their minds to sanction the enlarged demands of the Anti-Corn-law people, they ought, in courtesy to many disinterested and staunch followers, to make known their intentions. They were mainly instrumental in making the Corn-law repeal, or modification, a party question, and it will not be manly to run from the helm while the storm which they have evoked is raging. We hope, speedily to hear, therefore, that Lord JOHN . RUSSELL has asked. the Opposition Members to meet him, and is prepared, by a bold and just policy, again to unite the bulk of the people around the Liberal standard. With respect to the great question of the Corn laws; that is now placed in such a position that the Legislature cannot shirk it. We need ad vocate it no more;, it has penetrated into the ,hearts of the people, and the abolition has be come, as it were, an indestructable part of the national mind. The Corn-laws have been taken up by the ministers of religion, removed from the domain of 'calculating economy, and placed, like wilful " murder, in the category of crimes, To, argue that fraud can be bene ficial, that murder is injurious, - is a ridiculous superfluity. In fact, the public has taken the question out of the hands of its newspaper advo cates, and in spite of all opposition will carry it to a successful issue. The zealous and fervent men who carried the slavery abolition, and are now zealous also to carry Con,-law abolition, will admit, we are sure, of no compromise; they will not sit patient under, much less sanction, half a felony; and now that the question is in their a complete blunder; be it France, where dis content continually endangers the existence of the throne; or be it England, where ter rible di ot i e ss brands our s o - ca ll e d paterna l • Government as an imposter—where the proper work of Government is done with eN cri • an appr oximation to p ro p riet y and success. On "Ibis account the idea of extending the sp here.o the operations of Government over the sea seems -, at present pre-eminently ct„Lisurd. At the same time :the practical ignorance 0 ' f theo"-sea,poliee r.ealots is astonishing. -Th ey suppaS` that there are fleets of pirates at sea, and that they sack and sink vessels and murder the crews, without their deeds ever becoming known ; while the facts are, that no single pirate vessel ever makes her appearance in the - - rdinary track of merchantmen without the C unutance being soon known through every Journals. bands, sliding scales and fixed duties must both be given up. By the arrival of the packet-ship Cambridge, Captain BARSTOW, at Liverpool on Friday even ing, we have received New York papers to the 4th inst., being four days later than the last arri val from that city. The Ist being New Year's Day, was observed as a holiday, and on the 2d (Sunday) little or no business was done. On the 3d, business transactions were rather brisk, pre paratory to the sailing of the packet. The year just closed had been very far from a prosperous one for the commercialists of the United States. Brightand cheering were the prospectswith which the American journals ushered in the year 18 , 11. The banks in Philadelphia had declared their in tention of resuming specie payments, and four teen days subsequently did actually resume them. The banks of Baltimore and Virginia, and those of the South and West, were expected to follow the example of Philadelphia; instead of which they resolved not to resume, and thus the whole banking system was thrown into a state of inextricable confusion. The Phila delphia banks could not stand alone, and thus the entire currency of the country at home became deranged to the material injury of the national credit abroad. To remedy these evils a Bank Bill was prepared, but when it was about to pass Congress, President HARRISON died, and his successor President TYLER, thought proper to veto to it, and thus leave matters as they stood. Congress is now assembled, but there are few indications that much good will be done this year. The amendments proposed in the Constitution, and the right of search question, are dwelt more upon than the monetary affairs of the Union. The currency is in a deplorable condi tion, and some States are without a currency at all. Stocks of all kinds have fallen within the year to a ruinous extent. As compared with the 31st of December, 1840, the 31st of December, 1841, exhibits a decline Of 25 per cent. in Pen sylvania Stocks, 27 in Ohio, 57 in Illinois Bonds, 57 in Indiana, 34 in American Exchange Bank, 44 in United States Bank, 34 in Mechanics ditto, 60 in Farmers' Trust ditto, 65 in Illinois State ditto, and so on of all other descriptions of American domestic stocks. Much of this evil is attributable to the influence of newspapers opposed to the credit system; but the system must have been unsound which fell before the attacks of BENNETT'S He rald, notwithstanding their quotation by the London press. There is one piece of information brought by UMMLinY OF NEWS AND übitc " Who runs may read." rOP.F.IGIT. MM. de Valmy and Thiers were the principal speakers in the French Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, on the question of the Address. Both opposed the re entrance of France into the European concert. On the 13th inst. Senor Olozaga presented to the Spanish Chamber of Deputies an address in answer to the Regent's Speech from the Throne, conceived in a spirit very flattering to the Government. The French journals having asserted that M. Gon zales had presented to the Queen the Royal Speech at the opening of the Session, and that her Majesty had handed it to the Regent, the Gazette of the 13th declares that, after the Queen had ascended the throne, the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs presented himself the speech to the Regent, without its passing through the hands of her Majesty. A letter from St. Petersburgh of the Bth of January says :—"lt is positively affirmed that the army will be considerably . reduced immediately after new year. Some steps preliminary to the measure have already been taken ; the places of Commandants in several fortresses are abolished, the battalion of the reserve in the regi ments of infantry are to be broken up, &c." Letters from Nice announce the death in that town of Count Grote, formerly Hanoverian Ambissador at the French Court. _ these Journals, which is calculated to encourage a hope that something will be done by the Legis lature to settle the currency question. It is this :—there is not money in the State coffers to pay the wages of the members of Congress. Now, although the members of Congress might bear with tolerable equanimity the empty cof fers of other people, they will not exhibit any surprising indifference to the state of their own. Congress is composed of men by no means indif ferent to their own interests. On the 31st ult., a steamer went down to the quarantine ground, New York, to receive the luggage of Sir CHARLES BAGOT, Governor-Gene ral of Canada, on board the Illustrious, 74 : forty-two tons of luggage were hoisted on board, including two carriages. The Illustrious saluted the United States flag with twenty-one guns, and it was not till the officers went on shore that they learned that the Prince of WALES was born, whose health was quaffed in many a bumper. The New Yorkers received the British officers with great courtesy, and several entertainments were spoken of as intended to be given to them. Among the first to visit Sir CHARLES BAGOT was Lord MORPETH. The Crown Prince of Hanover has been indisposed for some days. Letters from Copenhagen of the 14th inst. says : "By a Royal resolution of 29th December, the sum of 38,000 dollars is assigned for the erection of a light-house on the Han.sholm, on the north-west coast of Jutland. According to a stipulation in the treaty on the Sound Dues contracted with England, the sum of 2,900 dol lars is to be allotted annually, in the budget, to keep it up. The capture of the Texan Santa Fe expedition by the M ex ire, s isconfirmed in these Journals. Want of space prevents us from publishing the details to-day, but they will shortly appear in the columns of The Sun. There is no news of any interest in the French The Minister of War has decreed the esta blishment of libraries in all the military posts throughout Algeria. Each of them is to consist at first of between 200 and 300 volumes, treating of the art of war, geography , history, voyages, literature, sciences, and arts. Five of those li braries will be opened in the chief towns of Bona, Constantine, Oran, Mascara, and Philippe ville ; and eleven others in the secondary posts of Blidah, Boufarik, Bugia, Cherchell, Djidjeh, Guelmah, Koleah, Medeah, Milianah, Mosta ganem, and Setif. Algiers already possesses a library and a museum. The Augsburg Gazette of the 16th instant states that the Greek Bishop of SERAJEWO had been deprived of his rank for having made some complaints in favour of those of the Greek Church under his care. A short time since the Vladika of MONTENEGRO received a considerable sum of money from the Emperor of RusslA, toge ther with the cross of the order of St. ANNE, set in brilliants. PUBLIC OPINION. The Post, arguing upon the statement made lately by the Chronicle, that orders for woollen cloth to an im mense amount can be executed in Belgium and Prussia at a rate of 15 percent. under the rate of British manufac ture, observes that, if this be so, it is sufficient to show that all our boasted manufactnring advantages are quite insufficient to secure that monopoly of the markets of the world, " which the organs of the British manufac turers are in the habit of so modestly claiming as their undoubted right." The Chronicle appears to anticipate but little public benefit from the approaching Session of Parliament, and comments on the continued reserve of Sir Robert Peel and his organs, as regards the measures of Government. " If," says our Contemporary, "we were to conjecture the plans of Ministers from the speculations of the Press by which they are supported, we should feel very posi tive that it was the intention of Government to repeal the New Poor-law, and restore the old ; to abolish the Penny Postage and restore the old rates ; we should believe that the first measure of the Session would be one for limiting the hours of labour in our manufactories, and the second one for restricting the use of machinery." The Times gives a flat contradiction to the statement that the East India Company have given an order to foreign manufacturers for a large amount of military clothing, observing " this, to be sure, was given as a mere rumour, but a rumour which all presumptive rea sonings must have served to contradict. The report was entirely without foundation, and the whole super structure, therefore, built upon that stupid assumption, falls to the ground." The Advertiser, speculating . on the proceedings of the approaching Session, is of opinion that the intention of Sir Robert Peel is to content himself with a very vague reference, in her Majesty's Speech, to the existing dis tress, and to his meditated measures for a modification of the Corn-laws. "And the ground," adds the Adver tiser, " on which he has come to this conelusion is, that it will be far better to make these questions the subjects of specific statements at an after period." The Herald contains an article on the subject of the withdrawal of the Puseyite candidate for the Oxford Professorship of Poetry, wherein our Contemporary con gratulates his readers on the circumstance, and adds, " We look upon the result of the struggle as a signal triumph to the Established Protestant Church of this country ; but by no means as the extinguisher of the Newman and Pusey Romanism." We quote the following from the Durham Chronicle:— " The election of Lord Morpeth, by one of those simul taneous and powerful impulses of public opinion which every now and then mark the sense of a people on ques tions of deep national interest, would be a condemna tion of the character and policy of the Peel Government rather too decided and unequivocal to be acceptable either in Downing-street or Dublin Castle. So, for the grace of both, Dublin Castle has put itself forward, by the ex ercise of all its influence and authority, to preserve Down ing-street from the mortifying humiliation of defeat." The Hull Advertiser, writing on the Corn-laws, ex presses itself as follows :—" The poor Tory who resists the repeal of the Corn-laws, is either the most infatuated or the most self-denying of men, for he voluntarily with holds bread from his starving family to increase the ren tal of a landlord who is less solicitous about his exist ence than that of a deer in his park, or a pheasant in his preserves." The West Briton observes—" We meet with complaints in some of the Tory journals that Mr. O'Connell does not, in his magisterial capacity, repress his feelings of partisanship. It was scarcely to be expected that Daniel would exhibit a perfect model of decorum, but his sins in this way do not appear to us very flagrant. If the Tories wish, however, to pu. , ish open partisanship in men high in authority . , their indignant virtue may find ample scope for displaying itself in another quarter." In reference to the Dublin election, the Dublin Even ing Post remarks :—" The Reformers are thoroughly or ganised, and prepared for the struggle, and they will enter_ the lists in the full confidence of victory. In a fair fight—upon equal terms—the enemy would not dare to show themselves, because they know that a vast majo rity of the electors support Lord Morpeth. This is well known at the Castle, and hence the reckless intimidation openly practised—the public use of the Viceroy's name, as the partisan of the Orange candidate I" The Paris correspondent of the Augsburg Ga zette states that the Prince of CAPUA had re quested the mediation of Lord ABERDEEN be tween him and his brother, the King of NA PLES. It is said that Queen VICTORIA had as sisted the Prince with a loan of money. The Journal du Havre of the 10th of January has the following notice :—" A letter from a respectable quarter, which has been received here this morning, announces that it is almost decided that the plan for completing the iron railway from Paris to the sea, will be presented to the Chamber in the course of this session. It is added, that two companies have made offers to undertake the work." The day before yesterday, by virtue of a mandate of the Prefect of Police, M. Gilles, Commissary of Police, of the quarter of Mont de Piete, went to the residence of M. Itegnier Becker, a factor in the Rue de Chaume, No. 9. M. Becker is accused of having been concerned in the manufacture of forged notes on the Bank of Haiti. M. Gilles likewise seized some important papers relative to this affair.—Constitutionnel. The Court yesterday continued the examination of witnesses in the affair of M. Lehon, the ex-notary. These depositions disclosed a great number of instances of abuse of confidence, abuse of power of attorney, of swindling, &c. The affair will take up several days. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, JAN. 20.

On Saturday morning Sir H. Halford, Dr. Cham bers, and Mr. Cutler visited their Noble patient ; we re gret to state there is no alleviation of his sufferings. A bulletin was issued at one o'clock, of which the following is a copy :—" His Grace the Duke of Cleveland has passed a restlQss night, and is not quite so well to-day as he was yesterday." " St. Jaraes's-square, 22d January, 1842." A late Bombay paper states that when the plague devastated Malta, about 3.0 years ago, the commanding officer of one of the garrisons, hearing of the escape of the oil-porters on the opposite coast, ordered his men to immerse their linen in oil every morning, which entirely secured them against the disease. - THE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACT.— On Saturday at the Petty Sessions, holden at the Holland Arms, Kensington, Mrs. Riddell was charged with hav ing a weighing machine of an unjust standard. The machine was produced, and was of the most clever con struction ; it appeared perfectly correct until the weights were added ; but upon a 41b. weight being placed in each scale a false draught of 4oz. was discovered , and there ;vas a gain of one ounce in the draught upon every pound beyond. The defendant said she had recently taken the shop, and the scales were a part of the fix tures. She solemnly declared her ignorance of their de ficiency. It appeared that the defendant was a respect able deserving woman, and the Magistrates fully excul-. pated her from any blame, and only fined her a shilling and the costs, which were, however, generously declined by Mr, • Connell, the clerk. STATE OF TILE BOROUGH.—Nothing can pre sent a clearer proof of the strong moral character of the poor half-starved English artisans than the decrease of crime at the present , unprecedented season of misery and privation—a time when a great majority -of the people are absolutely starving, and yet their honesty remains unshaken. According to the calendar of our approach ing sessions there are only ten cases for trial, and these are principally depredations committed by old offenders, practised thieves—raen, whom no circumstances would make honest.—Munchester Times.

At Bow-street on Friday the Hon. Henry Plunkett was fined 41., and a young man named Dukes 205., for assaulting police-constable Latter, 51 F. Mr. Plunkett positively denied the charge, and said it was not likely that he should strike the policeman as he was obliged to carry his left arm in a sling, and his right hand was severely cut. The Magistrate admitted there was a great improbability that a blow could be struck with a sore hand, but he was obliged to give credit to the statement sworn to. Both the defendants conducted themselves very peaceably at the station-house. On Friday, a native of Germany, evidently of disor dered intellect, applied at Kensington Police Court for an order to see the Queen. The Magistrate had left, but the Chief Clerk, after putting some questions to the un fortunate man, eventually persuaded him to go to the Saxon Consul, whose address was given him, in the hope that steps would be taken to prevent his being at the present moment an annoyance to her Majesty at Windsor. Mr. Smith, of the Harbour Master's office, who has been repeatedly examined at Lambeth-street on a charge of seducing a Mrs. Hunter, of Greenwich, and stealing property belonging to her husband, was discharged on Friday. It has been observed that Mr. Norton has more of these crim. con. cases brought before him than all the other Magistrates together. PINE Ala"' The report of the Commissioners at Paris, appointed to inquire into the project for erecting a monument to the memory of the late Emperor Napoleon, states that it should be " a sarcophagus of granite or porphyry, of a noble and rigid style of sculpture, and erected on an imperishable basis," and that besides the tomb and crypt to be erected in the Invalides, there should also be an equestrian statue of the Emperor on some spot near the hospital, on the outside. The reasons for this plan are thus expressed:—" Inside the Church, the tomb—out side the statue ! Nothingness in the sight of God ! Glory in the sight of men 1' CooßT—rasu zoNAßLE.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 19.—The anniversary of the birth day of our beloved Queen was celebrated to-day in this town in the usual manner. At noon there was a brilliant parade of the troops, which was favoured by the finest weather. We hear that the English Ambassador at this Court intends to give a splendid entertainment on the occasion of the baptism of the Prince of Wales. We learn, from accounts from Java, that on the 10th of July last year a convention, recognising the Nether lands authority, was concluded in Macassar with the newly-appointed Prince of Tunelle in Celebas, and signed by him and the inferior Princes of Tunelle in the presence of the Governor of Macassar, the military commandant, the officers of the garrison, the civil authorities, and the principal inhabitants. This may be considered as a fa- vourable sign of the establishment of peace in the island of Celebas. HANOVER, JAN. 17.—The evening before yesterday his Majesty the King went to Othfreden to meet the King of Prussia as he passed through that place.

After stopping a couple of hours, the King of Prussia continued his journey, and our King returned to this city yesterday evening. DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTRIIDAM, JAN. 21. Money. Bins.

COACH ACCIDENT.—(From a Correspondent.) —An accident occurred to the Norwich Magnet, be tween twelve and one o'clock on Wednesday morning, which, but for great caution on the part of Bonnet, the coachman, might have led to serious results. The fog being thick he had been driving very gently, and per ceiving a malt-waggon approach when near Bourn bridge, he pulled off as near the proper side of the road as possible; the waggoner, however, is supposed to have been asleep (a very common thing with these gentry), and his horses proceeded unchecked—the wheel of the wag gon caugh t the hind wheels of the coach, forced it back several yards, and overturned it. Bonnet and the guard were very severely bruised, and one of the coach horses s much injured that it has since been killed ; the pas sengers escaped with slight bruises. Not the slightest blame is attached to the coachman, who is one of the steadiest and most experienced drivers on the line. It is the intention of the proprietors to prosecute the waggoner. On Wednesday morning a fine female infant, about eight weeks old, was found in a pledging box in the shop of Mr. Sharp, pawnbroker, Broadway, Deptford. In the bosom of the child was a letter stating that the mother was a native of Gravesend, only 16 years of age, and that the father was a pawnbroker of Deptford. It likewise intimated that the mother would return for the child if the father refused to support it. LANDING OF THE KING OF . PR USSIA. GREENWICH, SATURDAY 3 P.M. His Majesty the King of Prussia has just landed from the Firebrand steamer. His Majesty was received on his landing by Prince Albert, and after remaining a few minutes at the Gover nor's residence, the Royal cortege set off for Windsor, attended by a detachment of the Life Guards. His Prussian Majesty is a remarkably ' fine-looking man, nearly six feet high, appa rently about forty-six years of age, and he appeared in excellent health and spirits, and seemed much gratified by the cordial reception he met with, the Royal party being loudly cheered throughout their progress. Notwith standing the unfavourable state of the weather, the streets of Greenwich, the quadrangle of the Hospital, and the piers were all crowded, prin cipally by well-dressed females. From an early hour this morning the streets of Greenwich presented a most animated appear ance, parties continually pouring in by steamers, by railroad, by coach, cart, gig, and every de scription of vehicle, all eager to catch a glimpse of his Prussian Majesty, on his first setting foot on British ground. One gentleman who was near us, stated that he had come all the way up from Yorkshire, having travelled nearly 200 miles on purpose to witness the landing of his Majesty. Admission to the quadrangle of the Hospital could be procured only by ticket from the Governor. Those holding tickets were ad mitted by the eastern gate ; and the pave ment in front of the east wing was appro priated to their use. The space at the end of that east wing was occupied exclusively by those connected with the Hospital, and the whole of the quadrangle was reserved for the suite of the King of Prussia and Prince Albert, and the members of her Majesty's Government. The boys of the Royal Naval School were drawn up on the steps between the Chapel and the Painted Hall. The Pensioners were drawn up around the inside of the quadrangle, and the Guard of Honour, consisting of the Royal Marines, was drawn up within the quadrangle, facing the river. At twenty minutes after one o'clock the arrival of Prince Al bert at the west gate of the Hospital was an nounced by loud cheering, and immediately his Royal Highness, in a travelling carriage and six, accompanied by out-riders and other attendants, drove up to the Governor's resi dence, and was received by Sir Robert Stopford, at the door. Immediately on his Royal High ness entering the Hospital, the Union Jack, which had been previously flying over the eastern wing was struck, and the Royal Standard of England hoisted. At half' after two o'clock the approach of the Firebrand was announced by trumpet, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accom panied by the Duke of Wellington and his Suite, left the Governor's House, proceeding down the steps to meet his Prussian Majesty. The Governor's barge, accompanied by the Admiralty barge,then boarded the Firebrand,and his Majesty landed under a royal salute of twenty-one guns. Immediately on his appearance at the head of the stairs, the Guard of Honour presented arms, and the officers lowered the colours. All the usual honours were paid to his Ma jesty, the bands of ?he different Regi ments playing " God save the Queen." His Majesty and suite then entered the Go vernor's residence, where they remained a short time ; and at three o'clock, his Majesty and the Prince left in his Royal Highness's carriage for Windsor. The Royal suite followed in other travelling car riages. Throughout the day . his Royal Highness Prince Albert was received with loud cheers, whenever he made his appearance. The arrangements which were under the superintendence of Lieutenant Rivers, were admirable, and reflect the highest cre dit on that officer ; and we have to express our thanks to the officers of the Hos pital generally for their kindness and affability , in affording us every accommodation in their power. The Royal party proceeded en route to Wind sor Castle by the Kent-road, Camberwell,Wands worth, Hampton Court, and Staines. His Majesty the King of Prussia embarked at Ostend on board the Firebrand steam-ship at seven o'clock on Friday evening, which pro ceeded on her passage accompanied by the Light ning steam-vessel. They dropped anchor in Mar gate Roads shortly before twelve o'clock the same night i at which place they remained until after five o'clock yesterday morning, when they weighed anchor and continued their voyage. The following is a list of the names of the dis tinguished individuals who attended at the house of the Governor, Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, to greet his Prussian Majesty on his arrival : His Royal Highness Prince Albert, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, the Earl of Haddington, the Earl of Ha rdwicke, the Right Hon. Lord Blomfield, Lord George Seymour, Lord Hill, Sir James Hamilton, Sir George Murray, Sir John Ross, Sir George Whitmore, Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir Geo. Cockburn, the Prussian Embassy, Colonel Owen, Colonel Dun das, Colonel Conolly, Officers of the 15th Hus sars, &e. &c. At the conclusion of the ceremony Admiral Sir Robert Stopford sent for Mr. Superintendent Mallalieu, of the R division of metropolitan po lice, and complimented him on the very excel lent manner in which the police arrangem en t s had been made and carried out during the day. PROGRESS OF H. R. 11. PRINCE ALBERT AND THE KING OF PRUSSIA TO WINDSOR. On the Royal cavalcade arriving at the New Cross-roads, Deptford, it proceeded along the new road to Camberwell, and down Acre-lane to Clapham, and thence onward to Wandsworth, where the first relay of horses was stationed. From an early hour of the forenoon the line of road from the entrance of Camberwell to the town of Windsor was one continued scene of ani mation. On the major portion of the line large numbers of persons had on Friday collected, in anticipation of the arrival of the Royal visitor, but their numbers were far exceeded yesterday. Near the Western portion of the metropolis Wandsworth was the point of attraction, it being understood the Royal cortege would change horses at the Spread Eagle Inn, in that village. From eleven o'clock the carriages of the neigh bouring gentry commenced entering Wandsworth and taking up favourable positions on either side of the high road, as near as possible to the Spread Eagle Inn, at which a party of her Ma jesty's servants arrived with the horses about twelve o'clock. Soon afterwards Superintendent Bicknell, with a large party of the V division of police took up a position in front of the inn, while detachments of the same division were placed at intervals along the road from Clapham nearly to Staines. Before two o'clock each side of the high road, notwithstanding the unpleasant character of the weather, was crowded by per sons of all ages, sexes, and classes, anxious to ob tain a sight of the illustrious visitor, and of her Majesty's Royal Consort. The windows of all the houses affording a view, however partial, of the road, were thronged by elegantly dressed ladies. In front of the Eagle Inn, extending to the Atlas Printing office opposite, floated a splen did union jack. - Beyond Wandsworth, at Wim bledon, and on to the town of Kingston, groups of persons were collected at every available point, the route having been altered from the previous day, to the disappointment of the inhabitants of East Sheen, Richmond, Twickenham, &c., who had anticipated the Royal and Illustrious personages passing through their locality. Kingston itself was, during the day, crowded by respectable persons from the adjacent villages. On the Middlesex side of Kingston-bridge large num bers of persons were also early collected, and the road to Hampton Court was lined on both sides. Near the Queen's Arms Tavern, opposite the gates of Bushy Park, where the second re lay of horses was stationed, were, from an early hour, arranged in rows the carriages of most of the neighbouring gentry for miles around, whilst the road from thence to Staines had, from the number of persons and vehicles passing and re passing, the appearance of a holiday. The town of Staines was also much crowded, more particu larly near and around the Clarence and Bush Inn, where the third relay of horses was sta tioned, and from thence on to Runnymede. At Wandsworth, and along the whole line of route, after two o'clock, ropeated were the re- -.• ports of the approach of the Royal cavalcade but noi.with€tanding the pelting rain which cl.B' scended ii•oin three o'clock, all classes maintaps-, ed their positions, many of the females standing ancle deep in slush. About 25 minutes to four o'clock a private of the 11th, or Prince Albert's Hussars (an escort from which regiment had, joined near the Windmill, at Clapham)gallopP ea into Wandsworth, and announced the approach of the illustrious party, and at 18 minutes to four o'clock the outriders in scarlet liveries were seen descending the hill into the village, followed .11 the Royal carriages. On the first carriage.wh icu contained only his Majesty the King of Prussia and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, reac hin g the front of the Eagle Inn, before the ent rance of which Superintendent Bicknell and Mr. !Tar-. vey, the proprietor, were standing, the sig nal was given for three of the most enthusias tla cheers we ever remember having heard, whi ch were re-echoed until lost in the distance. 1 111 . Royal Highness acknowledged the complim ent by repeatedly bowing, bareheaded, as did also the King of Prussia, who appeared highls' de lighted at the eagerness displayed by some el the fair sex, although completely saturated by the drenching rain, to obtain a sight of him. The change of horses occupied about fou r minutes, when the Royal carriage sped on its course at a most rapid rate ; the other four car riages, containing his Prussian Majesty's suite, not following for full six minutes afterwards. At thirty-eight minutes past four o'clock the Royal party reached Hampton Court, where a similar enthusiastic reception awaited them; and so anxious were the assembled persons to obtain a sight of the King of Prussia, that the police, un" der Inspector Dowsett. V division, had the greatest difficulty in preventing them from ob structing the change of horses. About twenty minutes past five o'clock the ad vance of the escort entered Staines, followed 1 11 a minute or two by the carriages, &c., when the enthusiasm displayed by the assembled hundreds fully equalled that exhibited along the whole of , the route. A strong body of police of the T di vision, under Inspector Otway and sergeant Burton, were in attendance, and prevented anY.,' delay in the exchange of horses, and the RoYa' party, without any further detentions, proceeded on to Runnymede, where the escort of the 11th Lancers was superseded by a guard of honour from the Royal Horse Guards (blue), and thence to Windsor. Along the whole line of road from Greenwich to Windsor, the churches of the different pa; rishes rang merry peals during the afternoon, an d in many places in the route were flags and ban' ners displayed. WINDSOR-SATURDAY NIGHT. ARRIVAL AT WINDSOR CASTLE OF HIS ItA. JESTY THE KING OF PRUSSIA. A His Majesty the King of Prussia, accompanie d travellingby his Royal Highness Prince Albert, in one e,; her Majesty's Royal carriages, arrived at the Castle a few minutes before seven o'cloc3 this evening, under a guard of honour c o mpose' of the Royal Blues, commanded by Captain For rester. His Royal Highness Prince Albert proceede a to town in the early part of the day, for the Put: pose of receiving his Majesty, and accompanyivb him to the Castle.
