DEPARTURE OF PRINCE DEOROE OF SAIONT.—The
two Portuguese war steamers which arrived at douth-
aniptoil on the 15th ult., viz., Use Bartholomew Dios,
commanded by the Duke of Oporto, and the tiagres
left that port on Tuesday morning for Lisbon. Prince
George of Saxony, who is about to marry the Princess
Donna Maria Anna, sister of the King of Portugal.
einharked on board the Bartholomew Noe on Monday
afternoon. Beyond the frigate manning yards, the em,
bareation was unattended with any ceremony.

A letter from Berlin nye: " As the Princess Frederick
William, daughter of the Queen of England, WOS Ull
Tuesday walking in her drawingroom, her Royal High- .
nen fell and cut bench f in the head, but fortunately not
variously."
A Cabinet Council was held on Friday at the official
residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in Down-
Mg Street. Tin Ministers present were the Earl of
Derby, the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, the Lord Chancellor,
the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hr.rdwicke, Mr.
Secretary Esteourt, the Earl of Malineebury, General
Peel, Lord Stanley. and Sir John Pakington.
PRINCE ALFRED AT BETROUT.—The Euryalus, with
Prince Alfred on board, arrived at Beyront on Friday,
the sth of April, from Jaffa, at which port she remained
upwards of 10 days, au so to enable her officers to visit
Jerusalem and the river Jordan. She left Beyrout for
Sidon, and returned to the former place in order that
the captain, his officers, and the Prince may be present
at a ball given in the evening by Mr. Moore, the English
ConsuLGeneral, in honour of their arrival. Not that
the invitations are corded either for the invited to meet
the Prince or the officers of the Euryalus, for in this Mr.
: Moore haa shown good sense, and Beyrout is the first
place where his Royal Highness has been received
although with all due respect—without any of that
parade, and show, and fuse winch he hiss encountered
elsewhere, but which is perfectly incompatible with
his positien in a midshipman in the navy. When the
Eiirealus anchored in the Beyrout Roads the Pasha.
, attended by all the civil and military functionaries of
ti. provim r, cent on boned to pay their naipects to the
Prince. AS a Mater of course they could not under-
hOow it was bit the wmn 'if • reigning sovereign
ould possibly waive his rink while learning his profes-
sion. They were, however, receieed on board by the
captain, and, although introduced' to the Prince, were
tot.' that lie was to be considered as • simple iiikiship-
-1111311 of the frigate. The Podia placed his nail of horses
at the disposal of his Highness, and of this civility the
latter has availed himself once or twice during the week
he ha. been here. The Consul•Comeral asked the
Prince, as well as some of the other officers, to his
house, where they dined ard 4e4, retuning next day
to the frigate. This, howcver, is not more than the
usual attention shown by our consuls to the officers
of British men-of-war. in short there has been
no more fun mule about the &Hyalite and
Prince Alfred than there would have been
about any other large frigate, one of whose
midshipmen was furnished with good letters of introduc•
tie.. The Euryalus leaves tomorrow, either for Malta
or Censtantinuple. As regards our large frigates I wish
tiwy would show themselves a little oftener on the
I roast of Syria. In the last three years the Euryalus is
the first ship of war of any magnitude that has paid Us a
visit. It would be quite as well if we were to keep up
our influence, and show our strength a little more in
this country, where we were once considered—what we
are—as the greatest naval Power in the world. The
French, Austrians, Sardinians, Americans, and even
Russians parade 101110 of their very largest ships from
time to tune in these waters, but with us it seems
enough to send a gunboat or a surveying vessel now
and again to Syria, leaving many large ship* idle almost
the whole year in Malta harbour. In making mention
of the advent of Prince Alfred to lieyrout, I uught to
tell you hew anxious all the mountaineers of Lebanon
lowa been for the last two mouths about his co, g.
Like all Orientals they would couple the event with
KUM° future political event, and when told that such is
not the case, simply believe that you are trying to
deceive thrum. So soon as the guns of the Euryalus
were heard in the mountain all the emirs, sheiks, and
peasanta—Christiana as well as Druses—crowded down
to the town to pay their respects to the sun of the
Queen of England. They were much surprised, and
still more disappointed, when told that the Prince could
receive no one, being simply a young man learning his
duty as a naval officer. They can hardly understand
this, but yet they admire the stern discipline which
linker; no distinction between the son of the Sovereign
and the son of a subject. They have magnified Major
Cowell's rank into that of a general officer, and believe
that the Prince is attended by a general wherever he
got.s. Many of the more wealthy chiefs brought down
, with them leaven, anus, and other valuables, which
, they intended to beg Isis Royal Highness to accept of,
and cannot comprehend how it is that he would
, not be allowed to receive them. They are shrewd,
, too, in their generation, are these mountaineers.
" What a fine harvest," said one of them the other day
, to sue. " what a fine harvest the Turkish authorities
would reap from UK were a son of the Sultan to come to
Syria—why, the very pipe-hearers would make their
. fortunes."
