THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA. His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, accompanied by his Grace the Duke of Wellington and the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, and attended by Chevalier Bunsen and the members of his suite, arrived at Nune ham, the seat of his Grace the Archbishop of York, shortly before six o'clock on Tuesday evening, from Oxford. Upon alighting, the royal party were received by the Archbishop and several members of his Grace's family, the Noble and Gallant Duke introducing the illustrious Prince to his venerable host, who led the way to the grand saloon of the mansion, where the guests honoured with invitations to meet his Royal Highness were as sembled. Viscount Melbourne, the Countess of Essex, and Miss Johnson, and Mr. Samuel Rogers were, among the company ; and each having been formally presented to the Prince, his Royal Highness, with the members of his suite, and several of the circle, walked in the grounds near the house for a short period, and then re turned to the mansion to dress for dinner, which was served in the banquetting-room at eight o'clock. The Vice-Chancellor of Oxford and Mrs. Wynter and Dr. and Mrs. Buckland were among those present. The party included his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, Lord Melbourne, the Dowager Countess of Essex and Miss Johnson, Mr. Samuel Rogers, Mr. Henry and Lady Francis Harc )urt, Mr. Egerton Harcourt, Miss Harcourt, and several other members of his Grace's family. In the suite of his Royal Highness were Chevalier Bunsen and Mr. Ernest Bunsen. Yesterday morning the Prince rose early, and walked in the gardens attached to the house for some time. After breakfast all the gentlemen of the party mounted on horseback, and rode round the Park, from dif ferent points of which there are splendid views of the city of Oxford, the river Isis, and other beautiful pastoral scenery. At ten o'clock the horses were ordered to be put to, and at a few minutes after that hour his Royal Highness (having first taken leave of his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, and the other assembled guests, and thanked his vene rable host for the hospitality shown towards himself and suite) entered the royal carriage, and drove off in the direction of Thame, where the first relays of horses were taken on. From Theme the Royal party proceeded across the beautiful vale which at this part of the country is skirted by the Chiltern hills, and entering Buchinghamshire, proceeded direct to Aylesbury, where they again changed horses at the White Hart Hotel. From there the distinguished tourists proceeded direct to Stowe, the seat of the Duke of Buckingham, a distance of 20 miles, on arriving at which they were received, in the absence of the family, by the Duke's librarian, who had prepared a very hand some dejeuner upon learning, a f ew h our ' s previous to the Prince's arrival, that his Royal Highness proposed to honour Stowe with his presence. The Royal party reached Stowe about 3 o'clock, and after partaking of luncheon, inspected the mansions and grounds. The Prince was greatly pleased with this beautiful seat, and the Royal party devoted nearly three hours to an examination of its variedfattractions. At 6 o'clock the Prince left Stowe for the Wolverton station on the London and Birmingham Railway, en route for Derby, where it had been arranged his Royal High ness should pass the night. In consequence of the lateness of the hour on Monday at which the plans for the Prince's tour were arranged at Strathfieldsaye, no intimation of the intention of his Royal Highness to avail himself of the London and Bir mingham Railway had reached the directors of that com pany ; but the notice which appeared in the papers of yesterday having been observed by Mr. Glyn, the chair man of the board, th a t gen tl eman immediately conferred with the secretary, Mr. Creed, and a royal saloon car riage was dispatched by the down mail train to Wolver ton, to await the arrival of the Prince. Thus, even had his Royal Highness arrived at one o'clock, everything would have been in readiness for his reeeptiOn. AA it happened, however, the royal party did not reach Wol verton until shortly before seven o'clock, when they were received by Mr. Bruyeres, th e su p er i n t en d ent of the line. During the period occupied in transferring the carriages to the trucks, his Royal Highness accompanied Mr. Bury, the superintendent of the locomotive depart ment, through the extensive range of workshops where the locomotive engines are repaired, and generally over the establishment. His Royal Highness expressed him self much pleased with the excellent order which pre vailed throughout the departments, and surprised at the magnitude of the arrangements. The half-past five o'clock down-train from London reached Wolverton about half-past seven, and the royal carriages being attached, the Prince and suite took their places, and in a few minutes were proceeding rapidly towards Rugby, en route for Derby, where they passed the night, at the Midland Counties Hotel. His Royal Highness proceeded at six o'clock this morning to Chesterfield, devoting three hours to an exa mination of the beauties of Chatsworth, returning ,to Chesterfield, and proceeding thence to York, which city they will reach at four o'clock. After inspecting the cathedral and taking refreshment, they will go on to Newcastle, which they will reach at half-past nine, and after a short pause, proceed onwards direct to Edin burgh, taking up their quarters at Douglas's Hotel. On Friday the royal party will visit Glasgow. HAMRURGH MAIL. BRESLAU, AUG. 2..—According to the most recent Recounts from Poland, numerous arrests now take place at Warsaw and other places, and kihitkas, with prisoners, frequently set out in the night for the interior of Russia. Perhaps these occurrences are connected with the affair at Posen. The renewal of the cartel causes, under these circumstances, a more painful sensation. The Russian police now feel more confident in pursuing the secret patriots, now that their flig►ht has been made almost impossible. Travellers who come from Bohemia say that, during the late disturbances at Prague, several pla cards were taken down from the walls by the police, which call to mind the ancient glory of the Bohemians, and openly recommend the re-establishment of au indepen lent kingdom of Bohemia. Numerous copies of these placards are in circulatian, some of which are not ill-written. ST. PETERSBURGLI, AUG. 6.—Prince Lebanow Rastowsky, the Emperor's Aide-de-Camp, set out on the 2d instant for Silesia, to convey to their Ma jesties, the King and Queen of Prussia, the cordial congratulation of their august relations here, on their wonderful escape from the late murderous attempt on their lives. The Grand Duke Constantine, who has been ab sent for some months, arrived yesterday at Cron stadt, and immediately proceeded to join the Imperial family at Zarskojaselo. his interview with his suffering sister, the Grand Duchess Alexandria, is said to have been extremely afflicting. The Princess, whose illness becomes every day more threatening, had expressed of late the most anxious wish to see her brother, since which account the Grand Duke ha: returned as quick as possible. The squadron at Elsinore is expected at Cronstadt in a few days. BERLIN, AUG. 14.—Letters from Vienna say that during the visit of our King there will be conferences on the riots of the weavers in Bohemia and Silesia, and that very important measures may probably be carried into effect in common by these two Powers, and that, perhaps, a cordon may be drawn between Bohemia and Silesia.

The Court, having heard the whole of the evidence for the Crown, and what the prisoner had to allege in his defence, and duly deliberated thereon, were of opinion that the charges were fully proved, and sentenced Mr. Mundy to be dismissed Her Majesty's service. The Collingwood, 80.—Rear-Admiral Sir G. F. Sey mour, returned from leave yesterday, and re-hoisted his flag on board the above ship.

She would have gone yesterday, but was detained for the inspection of his Royal High ness the Prince of Prussia and party.

Her trial cruise will last, we are informed, three days, during which time she will touch at Devonport. The Cuckoo steam mail packet, Lieutenant Command ing A. Parks, having undergone thorough repair, re turned to Weymouth this morning. The Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.P., First Secretary to the Admiralty, visitedlthis port on Sunday Ipst, to com municate the orders of the Lords Commissioners - with reference to the visit of his Royal Highness Prince William of Prussia and suite, announced for the follow ing day, and the approaching visit of inspection by their Lordships of this port. The Hon. Gentleman returned to town by train on Monday morning. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. LOSS OF FOUR LIVES. Within the last two or three days a melancholy sensa tion has prevailed amongst the inhabitants of B: rleng by the following painful and fatal occurrence. On bunday last the Sovereign fishing-smack, the property of Messrs. Allen and Hughes, at Barking, arrived in the creek, after a week's fishing along the north-east coast, having, in attempting to render assistance to a Dutch vessel in distress, lost her master, Mr. Nicholas, two apprentices, as also the captain of the foreigner. From the state ments of the remainder of the crew it appears that on Sunday morning, while they were cruizing in the Boston Deeps, eff the Lincolnshire coast, between Cromer and Flamborough-head lights, their attention was drawn to a vessel apparently in great distress a few miles distant. Mr. Nicholas immediately brought his vessel up and made all speed in bearing down to the one disabled, which proved to be the Neptunus, laden with iron and bound from hull to Altona. On boarding her they as. certained that she had sprung a leak during the gale_of wind on the previous day, and to prevent her foundering the crew had been working vigorously at the pump during the whole night. It being evident, not withstanding their exertions, that she was rapidly fil ing, and being much exhausted by the continued lab , nr, they endeavoured to run her into the Humber„ but very trifling way could be made owing to the circumstance of the wind blowing from the westward, and the vessel being deeply laden. They hail got the ship's boat out on the smack coming up, in case of emergency, and Mr. Nicholam, seeing that the unfortunate vessel would shortly go down, advised the captain and his crew, to lose no time in escaping, the latter shoving off in their own boat, and the former getting into that of the smack. They had scarcely, however, reached half a dozen yards before the brig completely blew up by the force of water under her deck, her hull at the same moment parting in half, and she instantly sunk. Mr. Nicholas and the captain of the ill-fated vessel, perceiving the danger their frail craft was in of being drawn down by the eddy produced by the foundering of the ship, exerted every effort to get clear of it. Unhappily, however, they were overtaken by the draught, and the boat was almost momentarily sucked under, with all on board, viz., the two masters and two apprentices. The other boat's crew, who had a most narrow escape from meeting with a similar fate, witnessing the distressing occurrence,. made all haste to the spot after the eddy had somewhat subsided; in the hope of picking up the unfortunate creatures, but they were never seen afterwards, and must have all perished. The remainder of the crew of the fishing smack then started homewards with those of the Neptunus. On her arriving at Gravesend, the de plorable catastrophe was immediately made known to the tide-vi alter, who communicated the loss to Lie.) d's. The crew of the brig were then landed, and were for warded yesterday to their respective homes at the ex pense of their counts y's consul. TRADE WITH SPAIN.—In pursuance of directions from the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, the collectors and comptrollers at the several ports of the kingdom have been ordered to make a re turn of the Spanish vessels at their respective ports ; and also to specify if there are any, and if so what, local charges or dues at their several ports applicable to Spanish ships over and above such as are paid upon British.

Saunders, one of the factory inspectors, for the quarter ending 31st March last, are the following passages :—" In March, 1343, utile mill-occupiers complained they could not get a sufficient supply of hands. The numbers at that time employed in twelve silk mills of Derby were 1,552 adults, 739 young persons, and 698 children, making a total of 3,009. In March, 1844, four mills which had been closed for some time, were at work in addition to the others and the total numbers employed were 2,186 adults, 1,079 young persons, and 1,064 children, making a total of 4,329—the increase in one year having been 634 adults, 320 young persons, and 366 children, making a total of 1,320 persons. This increased employment has been, I believe, almost entirely owing to the manufac ture of a a fancy trimming article called gimp. lam told that a great portion of this labour has been sup plied by families who had been induced to remove into Derby in consequence of such demand. Some of the silk throwsters in Derby complain now, as they did in 1843, that they have a difficulty in obtaining a supply of hands This I conceive to be in a great measure accounted for by the fact, that each mill-occupier wishes to get experienced hands, who of course are scarce, and must remain so especially during the time of an increasing demand for them. I am well convinoed there are still in Derby, many children whose labour will be made available if the demand continues or is increased, and this I think established by reference simply to two details to which I will briefly advert. Of 1,064 children now employed, there are only 366 boys, and the remaining 694 arc all girls. The latter are preferred in mills ' because they are more eas ily con trolled than boys, and will generally do more and better work than them. Again, of the 1,064 children under 13, the numbers between 11 and 12 are 633, and those under' 11 only 431. As it will be still open to the silk-throw ter to employ children as young as 8, it must be evident that a much larger supply of children under 11 can be ob tained than are now employed ; and these will gradually be taken up if all under 13 are limited to half-days, and the parents find the children so employed receive as sound and useful an education as others who attend school twice a day, and are not employed at all." BuxToN.—Earl and Countess De Grey intend to prolong their sojourn at the Great Hotel, to the middle of next month. The Hon. Colonel Dawson Denier, Mr. William Beckett, M.l'., Sir Evan Lloyd and Dowager Lady Triralestown, Sir George and Lady Philips, and Mr. Langford Brooke are among - the visitors at that establishment.

Via' —// e rr b _ x,~-e- z 7/ // /~ • SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. '1 he legitimate drama, like persons in a decline, seems to have been quite - renovated by a return to the locality in which it was nurtured during the days of its youthful vigour ; and Sitiller's Wells, under the management of • Phelps and Mrs. _Warner, in the days of Queen Victoria, bibs fair to rival what the Fortune Theatre (situated in the . same district) was in the days of Queen Elizabeth-, under the management of Philip Henslowe and Edward Al leyne. Night after night is Sadler's Wblls crowded by a most respectable and highly-attentive audience; to witness the masterpieces of Shalispeare and our glorious dramatists, performed as they can now be performed at no other theatre in London. Since the etommencement of the season the company has numbered amongst its members Phelps, Mrs. Warner, Miss Cooper, Marston, and John Webster ; more recently George Bennett has jointed them, and Sadler's Wells can now boast of the malt complete tragedy company that could, by possibility, at the pre sent moment be assembled within the walls of any metropolitan theatre. The audience .part of the thea tre has been newly fitted up, and the arrangements for the accommodation of the visitors to the boxes, which are under the superintendence of our old friend Notter, are admirable. The tragedy, of The Bridal, which was performed some few years since at Covent-garden, was produced here last evening with the most brilliant and the most deserved success. It is an adaptation by Sheridan Knowles of Beau mont and Fletcher's Maid's Tragedy. This play, one of the most powerful and poetical compositions Oft ever was penned, and which is inferior only to creations of Shakspeare, was laid aside at the Restoration, because it was considered to smack somewhat too strongly of disloyalty,: and Waller, who adapted it to the stage, attempted to render it fit for representation by altering the de nouement, and making the king repent, instead - of fall- . ing by the hand of Evadne; but the graceful, but feeble Waller, was no match for the masculine vigour of Beaumont, who is generally considered to have the principal hand in writing this tragedy ; they were as ill-assorted as Amintor and Evadne. Waller's altera tions were soon forgotten, and the tragedy again ceased to be . an acting play. About four years since it was revived by Macready, who entrusted %said= Knowles with the task of adapting it for representa tion. The task could not have been confided to fitter hands. Possessing the same heartiness of fealiwg, the same vigour of thought, the same vein of poetry as Beaumont himself, Knowles set about his labnetr of love—for to him it must have been a labour of love—in the true spirit ; lie has cut out a great doe, which would not be tolerated on the stage in three days, and has added three scenes, but so thoroughly has he been imbued with Beaumont's spirit, and to artistically has he introduced his new matter, that a spectator who had never read the original would be puzzled to discover where the alterations had boon made. The cast last night was very strong. We had Phelps as Melantius, Marston as Amintor, G. Bennett as the King, Mrs. Warner as Evadne, • and Miss Cooper as Aspasia. Phelps, as Melantit looked anti acted the honourable, high-minde4 courageous, but injured soldier, to the life. There was an intensity in his acting in the scene with Amintor, in which the latter discloses to him the cause of his sorrow, that told : most effectively; and in the scene w ith Evadne, in which he taxes her with her guilt, and makes her swear to be revenged, he was quite appalling. We know of no lady on the stage who could have personated the haughty Evadne so to the life as Mrs. Warner did. In the scenes with Melantius she was inagficent. We never saw Marston to greater advantage than in the character of Amintor. He seems to have made this line of character completely his own. George Bennett, in the King, did that which lie has so often done before —made a second-rzte character of first rate importance by his excellent acting. Miss Cooper had but little to do as Aspasia, but that little wasgper formed beautifully. Take it altogether, we kriofr not when we have seen a tragedy acted so admirably as a whole—there was not a weak part in it. The cos tumes were magnificent and appropriate, and the.play altogether was put upon the stage with the greatest attention. The applause was enthusiastic at the fall of the curtain, and Phelps and Mrs. Warner were called for and received with the customary honours. The house was crowded to suffocation in every part. DESCENT OF THE « MONSTER BALLOON." TO THE EDITOR OF THE. SUN. SlR,—Having been Mr. Hampton's companion on Monday evening in the car of his " Monster Balloon," allow me to particularise the journey and descent. We left White Conduit. gardens with ease and a moderate ascending power, and although the car con tained three cwt. of ballast, Mr. liampton did not discharge an ounce of it, for the following reasons : In the first place the intrepid aeronaut studied to afford me a good view of the metropolis ; the altitude the balloon attained, and the course she took, being calculated to produ ce th e d es i re d gratification. I was enabled to gaz on this treat city under very favourable circumstances. Beholding around me so much that was grand and interesting, my Trip, although short, was sweet, indeed. The novelties, entertainments, and beauties of London have fre quently afforded me amusement and instruction, but the enthusiasm and real d e li g ht I experienced in viewing its characteristic features, with their grandeur and various peculiarities, was a pleasure so great and impressive, that London has ascended in my estima tion through my having ascended from London. Mr. Hampton's second reason for not exceeding half a mile was this balloon has very properly been designated a " Monster," and it being the first time she has ascended from London, he was desirous of convincing the thousands who were beneath that she really merited that appropriate title. As the at contained three cwt. of ballast, the balloon had sue cient power to take up four persons, and an ample supply of sand. Mr. Hampton, however, determined to take no stranger with him until after a second trial had been made of the improvements in his balloon, which have already been mentioned in the papers. The reason that I was favoured was owing to in timate acquaintance with Mr. Hampton, to the satis faction I telt as to the strength and safety of the machine, having observed its construction, and, more over, from a little ambition to be the first to ascend with the aeronaut in his " Monster Balloon." The descent of this new and splendid balloon was effected with perfect safety in a meadow belonging to Mr. Thomas Rust, of East Ham Hall, East ham. about twenty minutes after our departure from the gardens. The valve car, and other improvement:, acted with satisfaction to Mr. Hampton. I am, Sir, your obliged servant, lIENRY WELLS. AGED OPERATIVE COTTON-SPINNERS.—Mr. Stuart, factory inspector for Scotland, states that in the New Lanark factory are two women, whose names are Marion Train and Margaret Mackenzie, still employed as spin ners, and who have been at work there as such since 1793.
