In electing the Austrian Archduke 11..TAximiLIAN, Catholic M 6 xico has secured for herself a Catholic Sovereign. Ar .d an Austrian Princo has been chosen thus by M 'xico, at the very time when the Viennese Go vernment is beginning to be regarded with the me st favour in Europe, among the more earnest lot ers of, and believers in, Constitutional Monarchy ---r as the best of all forms of Government. To the di wupted Republican institutions of North America, a to announcement of Mexico's transformation into a; i Empire, under the sceptre of his Majesty LAXIMILIAN 1., cannot possibly be regarded other ts -.se than as "a heavy blow and great discourage nab snt !" Upon Austria itself the effect of this choice of ono of her Archdukes as the future Emperor of a State conquered by the sword of France, Ca nnot, on the other hand, but be one tending to El/ aw Austria and France more than ever har m oniously together. A result, that, obviously, very Tpopitious, at this moment, for the Poles ! These are among the principal reasons, though they are by no means the only reasons, why we conceive that we are authorised to regard with complacency the Election, by Mexico, of the Emperor MAXIMILIAN. a u rns of the er e The value and importance Registrar-General lift themou ef t o th f e th ß e e r t nk of m dry figures into matter for general consider a ti on . The sound basis of fact which they give us affords a foundation to most important theories, and guards ns alike against extravagant credulity or dangerous indifference. We are enabled to detect the first symptoms of any ,great epidemic without waiting till the insidious fce is already in our midst. We can take those hygienic precautions which are of more value than medicine, in the same degree that prevention is better than cure. In the case of the recent prevalence of email-pox w© were enabled, thanks to our accurate system of registra tion, to remark the increasing number of deaths as soon as the disease began to spread, and to take im mediate steps to enforce the practice of vaccina tion, to which modern society OWES so much. The attention of the proper authorities would not have been directed to the real evil while idle gossips and lovers of horrible tales would have circulated fear ful rumours among the ignorant and timorous, thus increasing the danger by spreading the panic. As regards the births and marriages, too, the informa tion thus acquired is very useful. It affords a test of our national welfare, which is generally tole rably correct; and the social economist can form a pretty good judge of the internal state of the coun try from its records. In England this year there is a considerable increase in the marriages on those of the same quarter in the last two years. It will be remembered that last year a considerable dimi nution in their number was perceptible in Lanca shire—a fact which it was not difficult to trace to the prevailing distress. It is therefore satisfactory, as vindicating at all events the prevalence of a hope for better times coming, to find them again increasing, the numbers for the corresponding quarters being 5,431, 4,887, and 5,245, the figures for this year thus nearly amounting to those for 1861. The principal increase is to be found in Liver pool and West Derby, which are furthest removed from the depressing area of the cotton famine, but it is satisfactory to notice a considerable increase in the numbers of Manchester and Salford. According to this evidence, Manchester, the best qualified to judge, does not despair of the fortunes of the county, and we trust it will not be long before such sanguine anticipations will prove to have been well founded. The high rate to which the emigration statistics have risen is doubtless due to the influence of the distress. In the half-year ending at Midsummer no less than 121,096 quitted the country, the greater part being bound for the United States, which, under existing circumstances, appears to be somewhat singular. The number for the quarter is 83,290, an amount sufficient, one would think, to satisfy Mr. FERRAND and the other advisers of wholesale deportation of the unemployed masses. The birth rate is satisfac tory, as showing the rapid rate at which our popu lation is steadily increasing. The number in the quarter was more than that of last year by nearly 4,000. In the metropolis alone there were nearly 26,000 in the thirteen weeks. It is not surprising THERMOMETER. This morning This day at Two o'clock .................... Barometer-3 0 . 06 .

Looking through the Mexican intelligence, has been of late, and, for that matter, still is, for all the world like peering through the tube of a kalei doscope. With the same materials—as valueless, some of them, as so many little bits of coloured glass—the changes arc so total, so rapid, so very bewildering, and yet, each of them in turn, to all appearance so complete in itself, and in a manner so exceedingly symmetrical ! Even the momentary crises of anarchy—when, like chips of bead and bugle, the political nonentities of the hour, there, have been recognised, as it were, in the very act of changing places—Mexico has presented to view a certain picturesqueness. JUAREZ and his rivals, poussetting and balanceing, to the right, to the left, hands across, and more frequently still at daggers drawn, up the middle and down again, have , presented to view the Mexicans themselves, in the first instance, like the Christmas-eve company in Mr. .FEZZINVIG'S country dance "in various stages of affectionate grouping,"—sometimes it may be allowed, also, in various stages of grouping any thing but affectionate ! Afterwards came the tripartite intervention. England and France, with Spain, projecting at first a joint interposition be tween the belligerents. Abandoned, as some might say, left in the lurch, by her sometime associates in the enterprize, France perseveres as France is, under the like circumstances generally in the habit of persevering. And, although, in thus per severing, she alone remained consistent in re spect to the enterprize, France immediately learns that a change has come over the spirit of the dream of her Mexican project, so far as any change could possibly be effected in it, by the somewhat perverse withdrawal of all farther sympathy on the part of one at least of her two intending associates. General FOREY lands with his expeditionary force, a force consisting of some of the picked troops of the first military nation in the world. The Mexican anarchists are expected by most observers—particularly by those numbering themselves among the more enthusiastic believers in French prowess—to succumb almost imme diately upon the advance inland of the in vading army of Frenchmen. Time elapses, however, and nothing whatever of the kind occurs. The republican soldiers of JUAREZ are still, there, in arms —unconquered. So far from gaining any brilliant success at the outset of his Mexican campaign, General FOREY appears to stumble into a succession of difficulties. One blow is parried after another, When they are not actu ally parried they are evaded. Ominous rumours come floating eastwards across the Atlantic. The French are announced to have been driven back— are stated at length (and that, moreover, pretty confidently) to have been actually defeated with a sanguinary loss. Suddenly, however, after delay upon delay, these ugly and sinister misstatements are swept aside altogether as misstatements clearly and definitively demonstrated. General Poetry, girding up his Joins—all things being pre- Pared—advances inland at the pas dcharge. And, as NAPOLEON'S good fortune will have it, immedi ately upon the very morrow of the perverse rejection by Paris of all the Imperial candidates without one solitary exception.come to the EMPEROR at Fontainbleau, iuthe very nick of time, the tidings of the Fall of Puebla. They come so suddenly, so unexpectedly, e ,„ opportunely for the Emperor of the FRENeR, that they have all the effect of a coup de theatre. Afterwards, almost as abruptly after a little intermediate pause, come tidings also of the F all of the city of Mexico itself. The victorious general, in one of the earliest of his exulting despatches, indulges in a certain amount of hyperbole, that is in the descrip tion of the pupular enthusiasm o f the Ile x : cans on the arrival of the victors, a description adornin g th at FORE - Vs to th e I mperial very dispatch of General Minister at Paris. This triumphant despatch of the French General talking, as may be remembered, of the French soldiers as " crushed" under the w e i ght the bouquets and garlands showered down upon them from the windows, as they marched into the captured city. to shouts of " Viv o l'EmPereur, viva l'lmperatrice !" Now, as the very latest new s from _Mexico, came ringing to us across the Atlantic, other cries of " Viva l'Ernpercur !" But, this time, the EMP EROR whose name is thus ardently greeted by the Mexicans is—not IN-APo. The evid ence taken at ih© in quest uon the er- LEON III!

There has been so much said about the ill health of Lomdon lately, that the actual facts will be looked for with some interest. It seems that after two years of improved public health the mortality in creased last autumn, and has remained at a high rate ever since. The average for the three quarters ending in June is 2-191 per cent., whereas in the last nine months it has been 2 . 313 per cent., and it is singular that this increase is not confined to one part, but is spread throughout the country. We are not sur prised, for instance, to find the manufacturing dis tricts suffering fram an unusually heavy mortality, but the distress in the cotton districts has not happily affected the general trade and prosperity of the country sufficiently to render that an expla nation of the high death rate elsewhere. Neither is it due to one particular ailment. Measles, usually ranked among the mildest of zymotic diseases, has been remarkably fatal in the manufac turing districts, nearly one-fourth of the total of deaths being in some pa r t s attributed to it. This i s so singular that it is worth special attention. It is to be feared the: a reduced state of the system consequent upon the distress of the last eighteen months has something to do With it. But while measles people in L ancashire, small-pox is bus busy in are L7BB deaths b e i ng registered in killing on d on , the quarter. It is time that the authorities should I eee that the laws respecting vaccination are strictly enforced, and the importance of this precaution more fully shown to the ignorant and prejudiced. Mr. MARSON, the surgeon of the Small-pox and Vac cination Hospital at Highgate, who is well quali fled from his experience to give reliable information, found that when amall-pox attacked persons who . _ had not been vaccinated it killed one in every three, whoreas vaccination reduced the mortality to one in 15. The virulence of the disease is abated in every way, but it is important to know that much depends on the manner in which the operation is performed. We have to thank these records for collecting much valuable information, and for en abling the public to guard against many dangers to the general health. great part of the evil consists in delaying necessary t work, and also in disputing which party is to 1 undertake the necessary alterations. It would f seem that the company, in one place, had put up a fence four and a half feet high, owing to the t r h ep e r s e i s ti e e nt e a n f tio the of n ra o ilw e a who y farmed theland accident alongha p. and tiepht up a pity pbaerrierswhtehraetvetrhey aeydiedninmoatlegoweorne, b illikelyity of to any accident be e t e h u u r s r i prevent tthee same poss possi bility be so considerable immediate m i e m m e tedei theaptre vicinity e v e e xpe et n t s h e e couldoc occupiers of ground in the of railways from themselves undertaking the task. The fact is, that both sides are to blame, and surely this terrible misfortune will make them bitterly regret the iil-saved trouble and expense of putting up fences. The obloquy of the affair will rest with the neighbourhood in which the accident happened ; but exactly the same I blame attaches itself to all parts of the country, wherever trains arc passing to and fro, and the same shortsightedness prevails in making the need ful preparations for guarding against such events. Besides those killed, many persons have been seriously injured, and perhaps for the remainder of their lives will have cause to regret their ill-starred journey on this occasion. It was to an excursion train that the accident occurred; but there does not appear to have been any of those mistakes and blunders made that two years ago caused so much confusion in this special kind of traffic, and created so much trouble and suffering in so many quarters. The sole cause of the disaster was the want of due foresight on the line, and that indifference is shared by so many persons residing in the neighbourhood of railways that it is to be earnestly hoped that this sad occurrence will servo as a warning that they will turn to good account. It is very satisfactory to notice that the distin guished members of the French medical profession are raising their protest against the disgraceful practice of vivisection. The conduct of the EMPEROR in this respect has been most praiseworthy. Some time since a deputation from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals waited upon him, and explained to him the great extent to which this pernicious custom was carried on in France. The EMPEROR promised to give this subject his attention, and he has done so. If the result be that this cruelty is put down, a great benefit will have been conferred on the people by the prohibition. Nothing demoralises or deteriorates the mind more than such revolting acts of cruelty. Those who are callous at first become downright brutes as they proceed, and those who at first shrunk back become hardened at the repeated efforts. The excuse given, that such a course is necessary, is quite absurd. The fact is that those who uphold such practices do it for the love of the thing itself. They delight in experiments, and it is in the cause of scientific discovery that such tortures are inflicted, and not for the sake of the benefit of their fellow-creatures. The perpetrators of such acts profane the name of the humanity they profess to serve. Nothing can justify the infliction of such atrocious cruelty, and the best answer to the untenable reason, that it is done to gain knowledge, is that right cannot come from wrong. The worst is that the same animal is kept for fresh experiments instead of being killed at once after the tortures inflicted. It would be only right to render such revolting acts impossible by the stringent exercise of the law. It is a disgrace to any civilised country in which such deeds are enacted, No one possessed of right feeling in or out of the profession but will raise his voice against the practice, and no one has yet clearly defined or fully proved any known benefit that has ever been gained to society by such horrors. The ignorant are taken in by the dogmatic assurance of the learned that it is neces sary, but those skilled torturers would find it very difficult to make the experienced believe in the necessity. It is not altogether an idle belief that encourages one to hope that the worst is over in this horrible practice, and that a stop will speedily be put to the practice of vivisection that has so long continued in France. When one of the chief members of a profession sets his face against any custom, a great step is gained in the right direction. Instead of proving beneficial to the young surgeon to witness such displays, such indifference to brutal torture, and such wanton cruelty, it must render him very unfit for his vocation in after-life. To deaden all sympathy with suffering, and to harden the mind to all consideration, is not at all the way to fit one for walking through the world amid scenes of trouble and anguish. wherever "mankind and miseiy are found." The thousand ills tha flesh is heir to are sufficiently trying in themselves to endure without the professor of medicine, who is sent for to minister to the afflicted, regarding all pain as a joke, and considering the intensest torture a good opportunity for making observations. Such would be the result of the continuous practice of vivisection, and it is highly to the credit of all con cerned in putting down this disgraceful practice in France. No one who strtves to assist in this good cause will ever regret the trouble that has been taken, or consider that he has not conferred a benefit on all concerned.

The - Wiener Zeitung ~. of this d ap Aug. 6. following important official communication :—" His Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty has addressed autograph letters, bearing date Vienna, July 31st, to all the Sovereigns who are members of the Ger. man Confederation and to the Senates of the four free cities (Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck, and Frank fort), by which letters the German Confederates are invited to meet his Majesty in person, in order that the question relative to a re-organisation of the Bund, which shall be in accordance with the spirit of the ti me s , ma y be t a ken into con• sideration. His Majesty proposes that the Federal city of Frankfort shall be the place of assembly, and that the first sitting shall be held on the 16th of this present month of Au gust." The letters in q uestion, which are 35 in n um b er, were written some three or four week s ago, b ut they were not signed until Friday last. The m i ss i ve addressed to the King of Prussia was p resented by the Emperor in person, as his Majesty wished to give his Royal relative a special proof of his good will and kindly feelings towards him. A per son who saw the two Monarchs meet at Gastein says that the King of Prussia had tears in his eyes when retired to a r oom w hi ch was once g l n a s te Archduk e J o h n, and there they he shook hands with a n d embraced the Emper or , and that the Austrian Mo narch also display e d some emotion.

F ranc i s J oseph of Austria dined with Frederic Willi am o f P russ i a, and his Majesty's next neighbour was the in fatuated author of the Prusso-l-tussian Convention of the Bth of February. Soon after dinner the Aus trian monarch returned to the villa which the Countess of Merau had placed at his disposal, and in the course of the evening M. von. Bismark went there to pay his respects. lam not aware whether the Prussian Minister was admitted to the presence of the Emperor, but it is probable that he was not, as his stay at the villa Was very short, and he ap peared to be much out of temper when he left it. His Majesty, who is said to be in excellent spirits, returned to Schonbrunn late in the evening o Tuesday, the 4th inst. The 16th instant is likely to be a very important day for Germany, for on it the Emperor of Austria, who is at the head of the German Bund, will in person bring forward a project for its reform. Men in office profess to know little or nothing of the intentions of his Majesty, but a foreign diplomatist has given me to understand that the following are the principal features of the Austrian project of reform :-1. Germany to have representative insti tutions like those possessed by Austria; 2. The German Parliament to consist of two Chambers— the upper ono to be a House of Peers, the lower one a Chamber of Deputies. The Upper House to bo partly composed of persons nominated by the different German potentates, the Lower House to be formed of deputies elected by the represents- tives of the people in the various German States. 3. Only those Austrian and Prussian provinces which are part and parcel of the federal territory to have a right to send representatives to the Ger man Parliament. 4. The method of proceeding in federal matters to be simplified. 5. An efficient executive pow er to b e esta bli s hed. Such power either to con s i s t o f the representat i ve s of Austria, Prussia, a n d B avar i a, or o f the representatives of Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Saxony, Hanover. As the ex-Minister Count Bernstorff de clared that Prussia wished to exclude Austria from the Germanic Confederation, it is not likely that the Austrian propositions will find favour at Berlin, but the German nation so ardently desires a reform would be of the Bund that it will hardly be inclined to attend as it would be a to the special interests and bye-ends of the Pros. sians. In my opinion, a well-organized, the representa powerful, and ind e p en d e nt German Confederation a great boon to the world at large, the Federal States aed a P guarantee for the maintenance of tive system in sa f eguard o against the encroachments of F rauce Oa the one a id e , an d a Auebi4 Qu the 04111 ; VIENNA, AUG. 10.

The Messageries Imperiales steamer, with the above mails, passed off Messina on the Bth, and is expected to arrive at this port on the 10th inst., with 69 passengers, 1,054 packages of sundries, and 980 bales of silk. The Emperor arrived at Pin on Saturday last. An immense concourse of people, more than 100,000, were present, who cheered his Majesty. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested. Le Pays observes that, although the Archduke Maximilian has hastened to express his thanks to the French Emperor for his Imperial Majesty's con gratulations upon the Archduke's nomination by the Junta as Emperor of Mexico, his Imperial Highness fails to indicate, even by a single phrase, whether he consents or not to that nomination. RECOGNITION OF REVOLTED STATES, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—The effects of the non-recognition of the Confederate States will be a war lasting for years, carried on by the invaders in a barbarous manner, disgraceful to humanity and Christianity, the con tinued starving of the operatives of Lancashire and Lyons, and the injury of Europe as well as of the belligerents. Why does England not recognise the south ? Not from any feeling of right and justice, 'out from the cowering of Earl Russell to the braggadocio of the North and his pandering to the Bright and Cobden party at home—and that after his own statement that the North are fighting for empire and dominion. That the Confederate States are united as one to win their independence, we have ample proofs in the fact of man, woman, and child being ready to die for their country, and in Mr. Vallandigham's address to the intm of Ohio, that he did not meet a single Unionist in the South. There was not the same unanimity in France when Lord Palmerston recognised the empire, which was right, as the greater portion of France willed it, though Earl Russell dismissed him from the Foreign-office for so doing. In France there were Republicans, Orlean ists, and Legitimists. In the Confederate States all are Confederates. Earl Russell recognised the kingdom of Italy. Why, then, should not the South meet with the same treatment? The English people are lovers of fair play, and cannot refuse to our own flesh and blood what they have granted to foreigners. X.Y.Z. Hudson's Bay Monopoly and Canada. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,-- The Canadian Parliament meeting on the 13th, no doubt the proposal of the Duke of Newcastle, through the Under-Secretary, to renew this gigantic monopoly, and grant to an irresponsible private company three-fourths of British America, will be there fully con sidered. Canada, some years ago, having sent Chief Justice Draper to oppose the renewal ofthe monopoly—exclusive privileges and lease of the Company —desired to have the country opened in colonies under the Crown, with equality to all, and exclusive privileges to none, which Lord Derby's Government intended doing, and which ought to be done. Lord Bacon says all monopolies are against the principles of the British Constitution, and are, therefore, illegal. Parliament has never sanctioned the grant of Charles the Second, which has always been questioned, though, if confined to the shores of Hudson Bay, as intended by the merry monarch, few would demur. Parliament this session has abolished the rights of fishery on our coasts and rivers, though granted some years ago by Parliament and the Crown because they were injurious to the public good and public interest. Why, then, should the Duke of Newcastle attempt to continue a monopoly that has been the incubus of British A merica, preventing settlers on our priaries and driving them to the bordering ones of Minesota and Wisconsin ? People will not settle under the rule of an irresponsible private company when they have our colonies and the western states free to them. So unpopular and despotic is the sway of the Hudson's Bay Company at the Red River settle ment, where the chief population lies, that the people have risen and released a prisoner against the will of the company's servants. The Duke of Newcastle is a" know-nothing" of the opinion of the Canadians and inhabitants of the Red River settlement, and must have been misled in offering to renew the monopoly. _ TRAVELLER. Proclamation of the Archduke Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico. The following intelligence, dated Havana, July 22, is published by the New York journals : The French transport Milan arrived here yester day from Vera Cruz, having left there on the 13th inst. She brings dates from the former capital of the Republic to the 10th inst., on which day, in the city of Mexico, was proclaimed the Empire, the Archduke Maximilian to fill the throne. The Council of Notabilities being duly assembled by a previous convocation declared unanimously, with the exception of two votes, that the Mexican nation through them selected the empire as the form of government, and through them proclaimed the Archduke Maximilian of Austria Emperor of Mexico, and that should his highness refuse the throne thus offered him, they implored the Emperor of the French to select a person in whom he had full I confidence to occupy the throne of Mexico. The public proclamation of the empire of Mexico took place in that city on the 10th inst. A courier was immediately despatched to Vera Cruz, and the Milan sent off with the news. It is stated from Vera Cruz that all the towns along the route of the courier made immense manifestations of joy on the promulgation of the news, and at Vera Cruz 100 guns were fired in honour of the event. THE NEW EMPEROR OF MEXICO.—The Moniteur of yesterday says:—" The Minister of Foreign Affairs has received from the Consul-General of France at Havana the following telegram, trans mitted from Queenstown ou the Bth of August : `Havana, July 21—By the Milan, which arrived to-night, I learn that on the 10th of July the Arch duke Maximilian was proclaimed Emperor by the Assembly of Notables held in Mexico.' " A FEEBLE REJOINDER, Perhaps the feeblest rejoinder ever penned by mortal man has just been written by the Rev. F. D. Maurice, and published in last Saturday's 'Spectator. It is evidently supposed to be an answer (!) to the inimitable sarcasm given in this August number of Fraser by T. C., i.e., Thomas Carlyle, called (in Latin) " The American Iliad in a Nutshell" —an epi gram at once quoted b y us from Fraser into o ur own co l u mns. As a specim en of F. D. M,'s (that is, as we have said, the Rsv. F. D. Maurice's) notion of smartness in the shape of repartee, here is his very amazing rejoinder copied bodily from the Spectator of Saturday : A.N EPISODE IN N THE UCE " ILIAS (AMERICANA) I N." DIALOGUE.

They believed what he told them, and said that they should act upon. Idiot parsons went so far as to say that the words we Use on Sunday about a person who was put to (Leath as a slave being • the corner-stone of the universe were true. What could we do ? It was a matter of life and death. We raised the shoot for Gigmanity. We affirmed that slavery itself, not the person who suffered the death of the slave, was the corner-stone of the universe.

Orders have been issued by the heads of departments, instructing the police to arrest any persons belonging to the establishment or otherwise who may be found loitering in or about the thoroughfares during the time appointed for, the Queen's arrival. The clerks and others occupying offices in the vicinity of the avenues lead ing to the pier are also warned not to approach the windows.

EDINBURGH, Saturday. Yesterday forenoon the Prince and Princess spent two hours and a half in driving through the town and visiting Holy rood Palace and the Castle. Their royal highnesses and suit© left the Douglas Hotel in two open carriages and pair. All the morning a large number of people hung about in front of the hotel in the hope of seeing the royal pair, and after the carriages came to the doorthe multitude rapidly increased. On coming out their Itoyal Highnesses were loudly cheered by the crowd as their carriage moved slowly through. On reaching Princes-street the royal party drove east by Waterloo-place, Re" gent-road, and Abbey -hill to Holyrood. Here the Prince had the opportunity of showing the Princess the palace of his ancestors on the Scottish throne. With the apartments of Queen Nlary the Princess appeared deeply interested, and examined with much attention the relics and memorials of the Stuarts that are preserved there. The royal party also visited the picture gallery, with its long line of kings painted to order, and with its more recent accession of some genuine royal portraits of the 15th century. They were next shown the apart ments of her Majesty Queen Victoria, and lastly the beautiful but ruined chapel. Their Royal High nesses were conducted through the building by Sir William Gibson Craig, Lord Clerk Register, Mr. Matheson of the Board of Works, Mr. Gough , Keeper of her Majesty's rooms, and others. '!heir visit occupied about three-quarters of an hour, and as they came out they found a large con course awaiting them, attracted by the tidings that they had goblet to visit the Palace. There was no force to keep order, e.rcept the ordinaryguard at the Palace and a few police ; for an escort of the 3d Hussars which had come up from Peirshill was turned into the new stable-yard, the Prince having signified his wish not to be so accompanied. But there was no need of military to control the people, whose only fault was their too loyal eagerness to get near the carriage. 'Without any difficulty the crowd were got to open out and let the carriage pass towards the Queen's drive, and many enjoyed a view of the Royal pair to their hearts' content, and raised a hearty cheer to signify their pleasure and welcome. On entering the drive the carriage took to the right towards St. Leonard's, and many of the people immediately ran the opposite way, ex pecting that the circuit would be made; but after having gone up that part of the drive which skirts Salisbury Crags the carriage turned, repassed the Palace, drove up the Canongate, High-street, Lawn' market, and Castle-hill to the Castle, followed in these populous thoroughfares by great and applaud ing crowds. Their Royal Highnesses reached the Castle about 20 minutes before one, and alighted in front of the officers' barracks. They were received here by Major-General Walker, C. 8., commanding the dis• triet, and Major Hyde Page, aide-de-camp, a lso by d Lieutenant-Colonel L oc kh art , 92d Highlanders , and Fort Major Modonald. They we re first taken to Mons Meg B a tt ery , an d s h own the splen did view of the New T own an d shores of the Firth o f Forth —a scene which, in favourable circumstance s, 1 : equalled by few in point of variety, richness, an d beauty. The day was, however, very dull, the sky being heavily clouded, and the distant v i e w ob scured. It w as t h e only day for many wee k s that the fine prospect was not seen to advantage. T he attention of their Royat Highnesses was drawn to the curious old g un , M ons Meg, so long regarde d as a giant among pieces of ordnance. The contrast the lumbering and broken-winded monster shows with the Armstrongs of modern da te seemed much to amuse the visitors. The Prince and P r i ncess were then shown tue regalia of Scotland, and the various other anci ent . jewels belonging t o t h e S cottish Crown exhibited in the dark apartm en t i n the tower, hnd were nex t conducted to the apa r t ments i n wh i ch Q ueen Mary resided when a p r i soner i n t h e C astle, an d where she gave bi r th t o J ames VI . of Scotland. Fina lly,they were shown th roug h th e armoury , an d l e ft the Castle about 20 m i nutes p ast one . A t t h e ga t e they were again hailed by a large assemblage, and as the carriage drove slowly down the esplanade their Royal Highnesses received a perfect ovation, crowds pressing round the cacriage and cheering and waving hats and handkerchiefs with great hearti ness and delight. In the narrow thoroughfare of Castle-hill there was a perfect blockade, and the on y oy c a a l carriage did no t escape f rom the crowd t ill s reaching Castle-terrace, er r the aee Assembly-halloval party detour was made no w drove rapidly round the Castle, returning by Princes street. In East Pr returning a crowd h ad gathered, and the windows were thronged with, ladies and gentlemen, in the hope that a visit would be paid to th e N at i onal Gallery, but, although the Royal party passed on, the spectators were fully gratified by th e v i ew afforded them.
