Menotti Garibaldi, son of General Garibaldi, has passed through this town on his way to Poland. Several Swiss military men have also set out for Poland. A meeting has been held at St. Gall, at which it was resolved to raiso subscriptions on behalf of the Poles. ITALIAN SYMPATHY WITH POLAND. TURIN, MARCH 8. A meeting was held here to-day to consider of the presentation to Parliament of a petition in favour of Poland, and to assist the insurrection by subscription. The chair was taken by Signor Brofferio, and the principal speakers were Deputies Carroll, Lineo, General Klapka, and M. Pascal Duprat. NAPLES, MARCH 7. A meeting, presided over by Deputy Ricciardi, was held here to-day, to discuss the propriety of sending to the Poles an address expressing the sympathy of Italy; and further, to express the wishes of the Italian people that the capital of Italy should be transferred to a town near the Roman frontier. BRESCIA, MARCH 8. At a meeting held hero to-day, under the pre sidency of Deputy Zanardella, an address to the Government was voted, praying for the continu ance of the armaments for the purpose of opposing everywhere the enemies of nationality and liberty. Perfect order prevailed. INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. MARSEILLES, SUNDAY, March 8. The Messageries Imperiales steamer Labourdon nais, with the India and China mails, and 43 pas sengers, arrived here at 5 a.m. to. day. INDIA By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have received files of papers from Bombay to the 12th of February, and from Calcutta to the 4th of February. We take the following summary of news from the Tones of India : " The rebel leader Desput Sing has been slain in Cen tral India by a party of Sepoys, after a desperate resistance. It is confidently stated at Calcutta that Sir Charles Treve.. lyan is prepared to propose the abolition of the income tax. The Indian Electric Telegraph Department is about to be thoroughly reformed, and the lines now in use are to be superseded by posts and wires of permanent construction. The reform is due to the representations of the Bombay Government. The Hon. M. H. Scott has introduced a bill into the Bombay Legislative Council to punish as fraud the adulteration of cotton. The members of the Commission some time ago appointed to report on the adulteration of cotton and other descriptions of produce in Guzerat have submitted the result of their inquiries to Government. Mr. Denis Hely has been tried in the High Court of Calcutta for riot and murder in the affray which took place in No vember, 1861, near the estate of the Messrs. Morell in the Soonderbunds, 100 miles from Calcutta, and has been acquitted. The B. I. Steam Navigation Company's steamer Burmah was completely wrecked off Pulicat, near Madras, on the 27th of January; passengers and crew saved, but the cargo and luggage entirely lost. His Excellency Sir William Mansfield, Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay Army, arrived at Nusseerabad on the 30th of January, after having paid a visit to Ajmere. He next proceeds to Neemuch, and from thence to Mhow. General Farrell will shartly resign the command of the Mhow Division of the army, his tour of service having expired ; he will, it is , expected, be succeeded by Major-General Honner. Colonel Oucherlony, of the Madras Army, has issued a prospectus of an Indian Contract Building Company. Three thousand shares, of £lO each, have already been taken up in the Madras Presidency, and there is reason to believe the scheme will be supported elsewhere. His Excellency Sir William Mansfield has recorded a further minute on European vagrancy in India. The European inhabitants of Calcutta have given a grand ball in the Town-hall to the Countess of Elgin, in acknowledgment of the hoopi alities of Government-house. A dinner was given at the Byculla Club on the 29th of January to the senior officers of the Indian navy, the officers of her Majesty's ship Severn, and the officers of the French frigate Japon. The Rajah of Bhownuggur has given £l,OOO to the Lancashire Relief Fund. MONEY-MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTEL- LIGENCE. BOMBAY, FEB. 12. The Galle news by the last Calcutta steamer came to hand on the 4th inst. The Behar, with the direct English mail of the 19th ult., came into harbour on the morning of the 10th inst. Money has been in more demand, and the Bank of Bom bay has raised the rate of discount 2 per cent. In the bazaar, however, money is procurable on somewhat easier terms than at the bank. Exchange on England has further advanced,and we quote bank bills at 2s. 15-16 d. to 2s. Id. ; first-class credits at 2s. 11-16 d. to 2s. lid., and document paper at 2s. lid. to 25. lid. The market closes rather in favour of sellers. Government Securities.—Fives and Fives-and-a-Half declined about a half per cent., but have again rallied, and we repeat our last quotations—viz., Fours, 94/rs. ; Fives, 104/rs. ; and Fives-and-a-Half, 112 rs. Imports—There has been a continuance of demand from up-country in the bazaar during the fortnight, under the influence of which prices have gradually hardened, and our quotations for gray goods are again, in almost all in stances, considerably above those of our last. Within the last day or two there has also been some slight inquiry making by speculators. Certain descriptions of shirt ings, as 36-inch and 45-inch goods, are becoming very scarce, and holders are, as a rule, indifferent about sell'ng. The daily clearance from the native bazaar we have heard variously estimated at from 300 to 500 packages of gray goods a day, but in any case there can be no doubt that a considerable impression has already been made upon stocks, and as there appears to be every likelihood that during the remainder of the season there will be an equally healthy demand before the monsoon, wo shall probably see a great scarcity of many descriptions of staple goods. Glasgow and other fancy goods within the last few days show signs of improvement, and as the hot weather approaches are likely further to advance. Freights have declined 10s to 16s since last mail left, in consequence of duller advices of the cotton market at home and the arrival of several large vessels from Galle in ballast. There is but little inclination to make engagements for im mediate shipment, and until tht new crop arrives in quan tity it hardly seems likely that rates will rally. We quote rates as dull. For Liverpool—Cotton, £3 108 to £3 16s ; seeds, £3. For London—Cotton, £3 10s to £5 ; seeds, £3, (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) CALCUTTA, Feb. 6.

They have commenced active hostili ties against Vicksburg with very questionable suc cess. Due preparations for the assault were made Ind a brisk fire opened, which being immediately and effectively responded to by three of the Confe rate batteries the mortar boats had to change their position. They then renewed the bombardment, but apparently had not succeeded in producing much effect when the Asia left. We hear no more of the assault on Charleston or Savannah. Pro bably the Northern Government are urged on by the disaffection of the North-West States to make an Effort for the navigation of the Mississippi. Ac cording to the latest accounts discontent is spread ing throughout those districts, and the opposition to the policy at Washington is on the increase. The general tone of feeling in thee, provinces must be watched with anxiety by the PRESIDENT and hii Cabinet, but there is no question that unless the capture of Vicksburg is speedily accom plished their secession from the Federal side may be hourly expected. Nearer home the PRESI DENT is not more fortunate. The debate on the Conscription Bill, whose stringency was fully de scribed by the last mail, is said to have been most acrimonious. The bill has had to encounter the oppositio n of the Democratic party, some of whose members declared that ar& attempt to enforce the obnoxious conscription. 'would produce a Northern rebellion. We suspect that in the present state of affairs the Government will find it difficult to carry out the measure to its full extent. Meanwhile all we hear of the Confederates shows their increasing confidence in their own prospects. The capture of the great Federal ram, the Q ueen of the West, whose building was an affair of such time and con sideration, has fallen into Confederate hands. She was captured while attacking the fortifications on Red River, thus making an important addition to the Confederate forces, and still further diminishing the naval prestige of the North. The Southern journals, sensible of the changes in their favour, assert that the issue of the rebellion must be decided by Southern arms, not by conferences or treaties. The South no longer watch anxiously fur peace — they feel that the issue is certain, and only wait till the North, exhausted by internal dissensions, fruitless exertions, and financial complications, are driven to make the first advance. The face of affairs has entirely changed in the last six months, and the recent Southern successes at sea must have con siderably shaken the confidence of the most com placent Northerners. By the next mail we shall probably hear of mischief done by the Queen of the West ander her new owners, who never fail to make the most of an opportunity. Last Saturday will long live in the recollection of all who were fortunate enough to witness it. Nothing could have been more satisfactory than the whole affair. None of those unlucky events and unseemly contretemps that often mar the effect and detract from the splendour of such shows inter vened on this happy occasion. Such a display of genuine enthusiasm is seldom witnessed, and there can be no doubt that long after the superficial adjuncts of the pageant have passed away, the memory of this heartfelt welcome will long live in the recollection of the chief actors. The young Prince and Princess must have felt there was more than pomp and splendour in the gay adornment of the streets through which they passed, more than compliments in the plaudits that greeted them. They knew that the hearts of the people were touched by their presence, even the commonest and roughest members of the community seemed awed into respect, and moved by sympathy as the royal pair went by. Their youth and grace enchanted a►l hearts, their gracious demeanour charmed all beholders, and their progress indeed was a triumphal march. The Roman Generals re turning from the " march that led their eagles round the world," dragged their captives at their chariot wheels in chains. How much grander was the procession of our Prince, whose reception realised the prophecy of some verses that were written about him same years ago— " And o'er his subjects shall Victoria's heir, Reign in their hearts and find his empire there." Another thing worthy of note was the conduct of the crowd. It is on an occasion of this kind that the character of the English people is displayed to full advantage. No other country in the world could have presented such an appearance. It would have been well for our brethren across the Atlantic if they could have come and taken a lesson of the working of constitutional government from the evidence of Saturday. There is great benefit to all classes in being taken for a time away from the hackneyed common places of every day working existence, to turn their attention to other themes. The vision of a different existence to their own comes like a beam of sunshine or a dream of romance to the thoughts of those immersed in business and steeped in cares. Not one of those who watched the course of the Royal pair but seemed to wish that their course through life might be as bright, and to look on their happiness and honour with no feelings but those of heartfelt satisfaction. It is always a relief when such a day is over. With so many conflicting circumstances and diverse in terests, one is always afraid of something occur ring to detract from the tout ensemble of the affair, and so let us rejoice that the inauguration has been happily accomplished, and trust that the final ceremony may be as prosperous to-morrow. Of one thing we are certain, it will be hallowed by a nation's prayers, better offerings to lay on the altar, where the bride and bridegroom kneel, than any of those costly gifts that far " out shine the wealth of Ormus or of Ind." Vox populus vox Dei has been often quoted, and the Prince and Princess may take that for their consideration in reviewing the events of Saturday. It was a triumph of various kinds, and the general feeling of rejoicing was doubly welcome, after the gloom of the last two years. Let us trust it was the forerunner of peace and prosperity for the nation that came out to meet them, as well as for those who were the objects of general attention and regard. When the House of Commons agreed to close the animated and spirited discussion on the affairs of Poland, and to leave the question in the hands of the Government, it was with the understanding that the English Cabinet were to give expression to the prevailing sentiment in terms which, however courteous, were firm in tone and unmistakeable in object. It was understood by the House and by the country that Lord PALMERSTON pledged himself and his coadjutors to address a strong and immediate remonstrance to the Russian Government. Important as was the expression of English feeling, as shown in Parlia ment, the press, and the platform, the Cabinet of St. Petersburg could very easily shut its eyes and ears to all popular demonstrations. It was necessary for the Administration of the country to address itself direct to the Imperial Government of the CZAR, which could hardly refuse to listen to the voice of an English Ambassador. There would have been no risk in this course of action, for France was even more eager than ourselves in the cause, while Aus tria, under the influence of England, would most probably have joined them. Why, then this delay ? It is reported in Paris that England was unwilling to join in any decided measure, and had even communicated to Austria her fears lest France should avail herself of the opportunity to extend her frontier to the Rhine, thereby terrifying that uneasy Power into withdrawing her adhesion to the proposed note. Left to himself, the Emperor of the FRENCH has carried out his views by sending a despatch to ALEXANDER 11., lacking, however, the weight which a joint note from the three first-rate Powers would have carried with it. The answer is daily expected in Paris—not in London. The mild phrases and courteous diplomacy which accord with home instructions were not very formidable to the Autocrat of the RUSSIA& We question very much whether this line of conduct will give much pleasure to the English public, who will be scarcely satisfied unless their country takes a very prominent part in behalf of the Poles. It will not be enough for English statesmen to stand aside indulging in an exchange of diplo matic courtesies until the Poles have, by the aid of of untrained swords and scythes accomplished their deliverance,and then come forward to expressoursym pathy. The feeling of Englishmen for the struggle of oppressed nationalities for independence lies deeper than this, and we should be glad to be assured that Lord PALMERSTON and Earl RUSSELL do not find it easier to respond to it within the walls of the British Parliament than to represent it at the Cabinet of the CZAR. (REIITERIS TELEGRAM.) THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. SOU FHAMPTON, MARCH 9. The Hamburg and American Company's ship Bavaria, from New York on the 23d ult., has arrived off Cowes en route for Hamburg. She has 48 passengers, and specie on freight of the value of 144,040 dole., of which amount 86,400 are for England, 55,200 for France, and 2,640 for Hamburg. On the 2d instant she spoke the Bremen bark Columbia, bound east, and on the 7th the British bark Joan Taylor, bound west. The New I ork Herald of the 22d ult. says " From the South we have an interesting commen tary upon the diplomatic correspondence of M. Drouyn de Lhuys and Mr. Seward in the Richmond papers. The plans of the French Minister for me diation and peace are pretty roughly handled ; in fact they are rather uncivilly declined. The Em peror himself is somewhat snubbed, and Mr. Seward's letter to the French Minister is described as the sublimity of insolence. The Southern Con federacy, we are told, needs no commissioners to settle the difficulty either of French or any other suggestion. The Commisioners already exist in the persons of Generals Lee, Beauregard, Longstead, Jackson, and Joe Johnston. The _Richmond Inquirer says that the Union forces of General Jefferson Davis were encountered and dispersed by the rebel General Forrest at Franklin, on the 17th inst. Captain Hutchinson, of the schooner Olive Hay ward, arrived yesterday from Corms, reports that on the 10th inst., in let. 26, long. 64.41, he saw the rebel privateer Richmond, which chased his vessel for three hours, but being to windward of the Re tribution, he escaped by outsailing her. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday. There was a large attend ance. The depredations of the Alabama were the principal subject of discussion. Memorials were adopted calling on Congress to pass the bill em powering the President to issue letters of marque and reprisal, on the issuance of which authority the Chamber has before it the propriety of fitting out volunteer vessels to capture the Alabama ano other rebel cruisers. Resolutions were also adopted calling on the Government to occupy, by an armed force, the Texan borders contiguous to Mexico, through which latter country an important contra band trade is carried on for the relief of the rebels. Also resolutions in favour of the constructions by the Government of an oceanic and coast line of telegraph from Galveston to Fortress Monroe and Washington. 62 more of the rebel prisoners taken at Murfrees boro, Tennessee, took the oath of allegiance to the United States, and renounced the Southern Con federacy at St. Louis on the 13th inst., and were thereupon released from the Gratiot-street prison. General Blunt, who is in command of the Depart ment of Kansas, in a speech at a Republican meet ing in Leavenworth, on the 13th inst., said it was supposed by many that the opposition in the war comes from the Democratic party. This he said is not true. Many who have been associated with them are the leaders, bat he believed the great mass of that party to be true and loyal. In the Senate on the 21st Feb., a memorial from the citizens of New York, asking for the establish ment of a submarine telegraph from Fortress Monroe to Galveston was presented. Bills amen datory of the Act to equalise the grade of line officers of the navy, dividing Michigan into two judicial districts, and granting lands to Kansas for railroads and telegraphs, were passed. Bills to incorporate the National Academy of Sciences, and granting a right of way through the military re serves of Kansas, were introduced. Mr. Powell offered a resolution that a committee of three be appointed to investigate the facts in reference to the arrest, imprisonment, and release of D. A. Mahony, J. A. Mullen, and Andrew J. Duff. Laid over. Mr. Powell also gavenotice that he should at an early day offer a resolution for a committee to investigate the conduct of General Gilbert in recently dispersing a convention in Ken tucky. A resolution to print 10,000 copies of the Currency Bill was referred. The bill for the dis charge of state prisoners, and authorising the sus pension of the habeas corpus was taken up, and an angry discussion ensued between Messrs. Wilson, of Massachusetts, and Powell, of Kentucky. An executive session was held, and the Senate ad- journed. In the House of Representatives a committee of conference was asked of the Senate on the disagree ing amendments to the Finance Bill. The Post offiee Reform Bill was next considered. An amendment that all soldiers in camp or hospital should receive and transmit letters free of postage was adopted, and the bill passed by a vote of 72 against 56. The Ways and Means Committee reported amend ments in the Internal Tax Bill, and Tuesday next was assigned for the consideration of the subject. The Senate amendments to the Posts Route Bill were agreed to. The Senate Bill to Prevent Cor respondence with Rebels was passed, also the Senate Bill to Punish Bribery. The Senate Bill authorising the issue of letters of marqu was then taken up and discussed till the adjournment. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. BERLIN, MARCH 7. The National Zeitung of to-day publishes a letter from Warsaw, stating that an engagement had taken place near Kalusyn, the result of which was not yet known. The official Dztennick of Warsaw has discontinued publishing bulletins relative to the engagements between the insurgents and the Russians. The two fractions of the national party called the White and the Red parties, have come to an understanding. The Neue Preuseische (Kreuz) Zeitung of to-day says :—" Reports are current at Warsaw that the Grand Duke Constantine is about to take his de parture. His Imperial Highness would temporarily be replaced by Count de Berg. His definitive succes sor would, however, be Prince Alexander von 1 Hessen." Proclamations issued by the revolutionary com mittee have been printed in Prussian Poland and Galicia, entreating the people not to allow them selves to be induced to rise in insurrection, as the only mortal enemy of Poland was Russia. WARSAW, MARCH 7. The insurgent bands at Piaskowa, Skala, Wid nara, Mrzyglod, and Karezew have been dispersed, The forests of Kampinos have been cleared of in surgents. Boglanowicz and Jasinsky, two of their chieftains, have met their deaths by being shot in engagements. LEMBERG, MARCH 7. The Russians have withdrawn to Miechow. The headquarters of Lan giewicz were the day before yesterday at Goszcz, where he was joined by fresh reinforcements. The eastern frontier of Galicia is strongly guarded on the Russian side. Considerable numbers of Russian troops are being despatched from Bessarabia into Poland. FRANCE. The Debats,° in commenting on the intelligence from Poland, observes that the object of General Mieroslawski appears to be to collect together the various bands disseminated throughout the govern ments of Plock and Warsaw, and after a, time attack Kalisch. As that town is placed on the extreme frontier of Russian Poland adjoining the Duchy of Posen, it cannot well be the theatre of a struggle of any length without Prussia showing either by her inactivity or her co operation what course of conduct she will adopt, and thereby proving if the Convention of Feb. 8 has become a dead letter or not. Considerable un easiness is said to prevail among the Russian gar risen at Kalisch, but to obtain precise information on the subject is exceedingly difficult. The Debats, after summing up the intelligence brought by the last telegrams, says : " What is exact and authentic is the proclama tion addressed by General Nazimoff, Governor- General of Lithuania, to the troops under his com mand. Politics at times, and war almost always, live on falsehood, but it must be confessed that Gen. Nazimoff singularly abuses his right to present facts in the manner most favourable to his stategy. In order to bring over the peasants to the side of Russia and exasperate them against the landed proprietors, he reminds them of the benefit of the abolition of serfdom, for which they are indebted, according to his account, to the Goverment of St. Petersburg. It was the nobility of Lithuania who, in a petition ad dressed to the Emperor Alexander 11. at the time of his accession, had first and spontaneously prayed for the abolition of serfdom. What is more, the Em peror, by a letter which was made public, took care to thank the landowners of Lithuania for what they had done, and solemnly held them up as an example to the Russian nobility. Such is the real truth of the matter. And yet under such pretexts, attempts ore made to excite the pea sants almost to a regular slaughter or jacquerie, without feeling any uneasiness at the effect which such examples might produce in Russia itself at the moment when the 3d March arrived P Sixteen years ago the Marquis Wielopolski made his debut in the political career by addressing to Prince de Metternich his famous protest against the massacres of Gallicia. He there laid the bases of his Panslavist system by horror for the Austrian Government, which he de nounced as the instigator and as the accomplice of that great catastrophe. The Emperor Nicholas,' he exclaimed, is too good a gentleman to ever have recourse to such means.' At present, when the Marquis Wielopolski is the Chief of the Civil Government of Poland, will he send to General Nazimoff a second edition of the Lettre d'un Gen tilhonzme Polonais aM. de Metternich.

The detachment to Paris are to consist of a battalion of sharpshooters taken from each regiment successively ; and of 50 horsemen in turn from each regiment of Spahis. The infantry and cavalry will both remain a year in France. EXTRAORDINARY ENGINE CHASE.—An extraor dinary occurrence took place on the Caledonian Rail way on Thursday, the 26th of February, which had very nearly been the cause of a fearful accident. It appears that early on the morning of that day an engine was detached from an up luggage train at Beattock station, and shunted on the down line for the purpose of taking in water. When this operation was completed, the driver, instead of going to the points and returning to his proper line, put on steam and started for the south alone. The fireman, who was on the platform, Peeing that if the engine kept on it would inevitably meet the down limited mail face to face, lost no time in getting ready another engine, which fortunately had steam up, and started in chase on the proper or up line After a race of 13 miles he overtook the truant engine near Locketby, and on getting alongside leaped from one engine to the other. Ho had just time to reverse the engine, wake up the driver, who was asleep, and then run to the adjacent signal-post, when the limited mail came thundering along from Carlisle at 40 miles an hour. It was fortunately stopped by the signal in time when within a few yards of the runaway engine. Had the fireman hesitated as to the . proper course to p ursue , even f or one minute, a very seri ous accident and loss of life must have occurred.—Cisrhsle Journal.

In Pall-mall some alarm was created among the crowd by a cab-horse taking fright, and dashing at full speed amongst the people. Two men, John Roaks, a picture.frame maker, and Isaac Tucker, a carpenter,were knocked down and run over. They received severe injuries, and were removed to Charing-cross Hospital. A number of accidents, of a more or less serious nature, occurred from the dangerous practice of rushing between the horses and vehicles in the streets. A boy named Smith was so badly injured by a kick from a horse, re ceived near London-bridge, that he was removed to Guy's Hospital, where the operation of amputation was performed, and his life is despaired of. Several females and children have been injured from a similar cause. In the rush consequent upon the passing of the procession along Pall-mall East several ladies were thrown down and severely in jured. Mrs. Lydia Constable, 31, Cleveland-street, was trampled under foot, and was in imminent danger of her life. Her shoulder was dislocated, and she received severe contusions. She was re moved to the Charing-cross Hospital by the police. At the same time Eliza Searle, 34, St. Martin's lane, was thrown down and received injuries of a similar character. Several others were also injured, and had to be conveyed to the hospital, where the house surgeon, Mr. Mallam, attended to their re quirements. A cruel outraage was committed in the same street, upon a boy named James Edward Blatch, aged 15 years. He got hold of a shilling that had been foolishly thrown from a window amongst the crowd. A man immediately knocked him down, and then fell, sitting, on his face, and remained in that position until the poor boy gave up the shilling. The boy had to be carried to the hos pital, where he was found to have sustained dreadful injuries to the face. At other hospitals several per sons came for the surgeons to dress wounds received in fights for places, and in one instance from a blow from a policeman's staff. During the dreadful crush which took place in the crowd endeavouring to pass through the iron gates at the entrance of Hyde-park, after the procession had passed through, a poor woman with an infant in her arms must have been crushed to death through her anxiety to save hrr child, when a volunteer officer, who it was afterwards ascertained was Lieutenant Hamley, of the Duke of Corn wall's Rifle Volunteers, seized it out of the arms of the mother, and carried, or rather was carried with it, holding it up as high as be could across the road at Hyde-park-corner, and down about 50 yards in the Green-park, when he laid it down almost exhausted; and although many who had witnessed Lieut. Hamley's conduct offered to take the child, he refused to leave it until the mother came. It turned out that the mother was pushed by the crowd down Piccadilly, and it was half an hour before she recovered her child. On her finding it her joy was so great that she could scarcely speak. She was afterwards assisted home by women who were passing. Sh e was t h e wife of a bricklayer living somewhere in Pimlico. Mr. Weekes, sculptor, and Mr. Boxall, portrait painter, have been elected Royal Academicians. The honours of the Associateship have been given to Mr. Le Jeupe. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A sad accident, resulting in the immediate death of two men, and serious injury to a third, occurred on Thursday on the South Yorkshire Railway, near Wombwell Station. The three untortmate men formed part of a gang engaged in repairing th e li ne, and when a tra i n approac hed they either did no t h ear, or did not understand, t h e warning to stand olear, cons equen tly th e t ra i n s truck them, killing two of their number, named John James and Bingley Swallow, on the spot, and so injuring the third, named Thomas Turner, that there seems to be no hope of his re covery. \I! rt • , 1 EN , etnnia HER MAJESTY.

PRINCE ALFRED A LIEUTENANT.—A. letter from our Malta correspondent, under date of March 3, says " His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, since his re moval to the Royal Naval Hospital, has been progressing most favourably. Last week shortly after his removal, he passed his examination for lieutenant. The captains who examined him were the Hon. T. Egerton, of the St. George ; W. 0. Stewart, of the Marlborough; and Commander Mar soil, of the Firefly. Directly the ceremony was over his commission as lieutenant was handed to him, and he now awaits kis passage to England to join her Majesty's ship Racoon. It is strange that he should have passed his first step to promotion in an hospital." _ Sir Robert Peel has forwarded a cheque for £2O to the Dublin committee, to be distributed on the wedding day of the Prince of Wales amongst 100 poor persons in that city. THE ANGLO-CHINESE EXPEDITION.—On Thurs day last a magnificent despatch paddle steamer, ordered by Captain Sherard Osborne for his Anglo-Chinese fleet, was successfully launched from the yard of Mr. John White, of West Cowes, Isle of Wight.

The engines, which are of 300-horse power, are constructed by Messrs. Day and Co., of the Northam Ironworks, and will be placed and fitted on board in the Southampton docks. From the beautifu l lines of this very handsome steamer, and the reputation of her builders, this last new addition to Captain Osb orne ' s fleet will, it is con fidently predicted, attain a high rate of speed under steam. The screw steam yacht Thule, lately the property of Mr. Arthur Anderson, has been purchased for use as a despatch boat for the fleet, and is fitting out for the purpose in South. ampton docks. rAYB.

Metropolitan Police-office, 4, Whitehall-place, 6th March, 1863. The City Present to the Princess. On Friday, at a special meeting of the Court of Common Council, held at the Mansion-house, the Lord Mayor presiding, a report was brought up from the Royal Reception Committee stating that they had selected, and now recommended for pur chase, a diamond necklace and earrings, as a pre sent from the Corporation to the Princess Alezandra of Denmark, on her marriage with the Prince of Wales, and for which the Common Council re cently voted the sum of £lO,OOO. The necklace , with its accompaniments, was shown to the mem" bers of the Court by one of the Messrs. Garrard, goldsmiths, of the Haymarket, and was much ad mired. It consists of 32 Golcondi, diamonds (old English cut), the centre stone, from which the rot graduate, weighing 13 carats 3 1-32 grains. The beauty of this collection of stones was represented to lie in the uniformity and harmony of size, shaP e o and brilliancy. The earrings are equal in quality to the necklace, and consist of very large brilliant tops and drops with diamonds between, the top stones weighing 121 carats, and the drops, which are said to be matchless, 17i cams, the whole weight of necklace and earrings being 171 1 I 1-16 carats. On the motion of Mr. Anderton, Chairman of Committee, their recommendation was adopted, and it was referred back to them to give effect to the wishes of the Court and to make the necessary arrangements for the presentation of the necklace t 0 her Royal Highness the Princess. The Princess Alexandra received the City pre. sent at Windsor to-day at 3 o'clock. The civi° authorities were met at the South-Western station in Windsor, from whence they had the honour of being conveyed to the Castle in hPr Majesty's car• riages. The Royal Reception Committee met at Guildhall this morning, at 10 o'clock. The Reception of the Princess by the Danes. As mentioned on Saturday in our columns, the Danes resident in London had manifested the ir desire to meet the Princess Alexandra immediately On her landing on English soil, to give her a hear* ? welcome. The Mayor of Gravesend met their wishes in the most obliging manner, and placed a large number of seats nearest the pier at their dis' posal, where a tent, splendidly decorated with E°g s : lish and Danish colours, was erected, and over wh ich was seen the Royal arms of Denmark, supported 1,1 the old Dannebrog. A large number of ladies ood gentlemen filled the tent, the brilliant toilets of the former consisting chiefly of the rational red 91 1 white, and all wearing a Coventry ribbon rosette °' the same colours, with the silver cross of the Dan n , , e ' brog in the centre bearing the inscription " M tn den VII. Marts, 1863" (in remembrance of the 71 7, of March, 1863), which had been specially de bi g neu for the occasion by Mr. Barkentin, a Danish artist' resident in London, the same gentleman who ha designed and executed the splendid silver ca se which the Dines are about to present to the Pet °, cess as a wedding gift. While the Royal salute° were being fired, and the pretty girls of Eng land strewed the path with flowers, the Pri lij cess entered the Royal carriage, with his 1109"1i Hi g h n ess the Prince of Wales and her i llll°- trious parents, the Prince Christian and Pr ill ; cess Louise of Denmark. At the Danish s tall ' the carriage halted, and an address, b and ; somely bound in red velvet, with the Danis h er°,, on the cover, was presented to the Prin cess by deputation of Danish ladies, consisting of Mrs Westonholz, Mrs. Simonsen, Mrs. Delcon 3 y o, Mrs. Lihme, while the Royal party were olosc, heartily and enthusiastically cheered by 11113 % hurrahs, which, by the way, are marked by Qd emphasis being placed both on the first and sec ° syllables. The Prince Christian of Denmark handed the address to the Princess, and, thanking the deP utad d tion most graciously, the Royal party conti quit their triumphal passage through the town. It a have been very gratifying to the fair Princess auto her illustrious relatives, immediately ori landingt_ e be thus received by the Daniell commu nity Il Sung and to be greeted in the mother tongue . The Princes and Princesses, who accompany their ° ls ar , to this country, and who were in the second riage, also received a well meant wel come ft°to their countrymen. boa In the metropolis the Corporation of the city 40 placed at the disposal of the Danish re sidehts ose seats on the stands round St. Paul's, wh ele t w o who could not go down to Gravesend thus obtoeso a capital view of the procession, tied by this 113 or a very large majority of the little D c et munity were accommodated.
