DEPARTCHR 01, THE PRINCE AND PRINCEIHI FRED-
ERICK WILLIAM Or PRUHSIA.--OR Saturday morning
at half-past seven o'clock, their Royal Highnesses
Prinoe and Princess Frederick William of Prussia took
leave of the queen and the Prince Consort and the
Royal family, and left Windsor for Prussia. The
royal visitors travelled on the Great Western Railway
line to Dover, and from thence cross the Channel to
Calais, from which place they proceeded by railway to
Brussels, for the ourisste of paying • visit to his Majesty
the King of the Belgians.
On Monday Her Majesty and the Prince Consort and
the Royal Family left ‘Vindsor Castle for the Isle of
Wight, where the court will remain until the 24th inst.,
and then return to Windsor.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, who, we
are happy to say, is now enjoying good health, will
remain at her residence, Frogmore Lodge, during the
absence of the court from Windsor.
The following is an Ixtract from a private letter from
Mount Athos, dated November 13 :—" His Royal
Highness Prince Alfred landed at Mount Athos, and
was received by Hassih Effendi, Kaimakan, and
Rutpei-Slanic, and the bishops and distinguished per-
sons of the monasteries. The prince, accompanied by
theme gentlemen, visited the monasteries and the libra-
ries attached to them, and all the places of note in the
mountain, after which his Royal Highness made • hunt-
ing excursion, during which he shot two stags and four
pheasants. The prince embarked after this party, not,
however, without making splendid presents to the
Kaimakan, bishops, and priests. During his sojourn
the convent and monasteries were splendidly illuminated
throughout the night,"

TRIAL OF DR. Sarriniasr.—Thoinas Sinethurt, 48
was indicted at the Central Criminal Court last week
for the offence of bigamy. Mr. Clerk and Mr. Beasley
conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Tel-
fourd Salter were counsel for the defence, Mr. Clerk,
in opening the case, said, that lie and his learned friend
appeared to prosecute the prisoner for the offence of
bigamy by the direction of the Secretary of State. It
would be idle to suppose that the jury were not well ac-
quainted with all the circumstances under which the
prisoner now appeared before the Court, but on the
part of the prosecution he had nothing to do with any
previous facts that had been inquired into, and all, that
devolved upon him was to inform the jury of the
nature of the evidence he should adduce in support of
the charge of bigamy. The ease that would be sought
to be establishel against the prisoner was, that in the
year 18:O4 lie was married to a person named Mary Dur-
ham, and that in December last year he was married to
a lady named Isabella Janke., his former wife being
then alive. Ile did not propose to enter into the cir-
cummitances connected with the second marriage, but
would merely state that Miss Bankes was a lady of con-
siderable property, and who had also great personal
attractions, and they were aware that she had died
since the marriage with the prisoner. The learned
counsel then gave a abort narrative of the facts, and
said that the simple question the jury would have to
decide was whether when the prisoner contracted the
second marriage his first wife wan alive. Evidence was
given in support of the charge, which was clearly iiroved,
and the prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for one year.
PRINCIPLE us THB LINT WITH PHILIUDICIL—A great
statesman of the last generation declared that "the wars
of nations were at an end, and that the future conflicts
of the earth that would fill the page of history were to
be the wars of principle ! " the truth of this prophecy
is being gardually developed; the war of principle
wages with unseen vigour. Among the foremost coui-
petitors in this vast arena, stands Professor Thomas
Holloway; with his famous but simple remedies, a l'ill
and an Ointment, lie may truly be said to have success-
fully combated with Prejudice and disease • the latter is
of course the ever-impending foe in all climes, but the
former, more especially in our favoured land, the inevi-
table opponent of all innovation and invention ; from
Holloway's first "essay in the lists," the medical pro.
fellation have been in array against hitu : how tacitly
however have they been induced to succumb, and own
that the unity of purpose evinced by this great man,
and the sufficieticy of the two remedies, have satisfactorily
proved the fallacy of the hypothesis that divers mala-
dies and varied features of disease require as many dis-
tinct and different remedies. Again—Professional
Prejudice has been avowedly overthrown from the
glaring confession concurred in by all that these remedial
agents have accomplished what the combined learning
and talent of the faculty could never attain—liniverial
Diseemination. It would be folly to calculate the pro-
portionate difference between the number of applicants
for medical aid (in common parlance) at a public dispen-
sary, and the incalculable multitude that are the daily
recipients of Holloway's twin remedies as applicable to
their need in the various phases of disease. We would
, simply ask the reader (conceiving it possible that lie
could accomplish the feat) to take a flying visit to our
numerous dependencies. Having first traversed India
and witnessed the universal popularity of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment in that vast and densely populated
region, let Lim bend his Southern course, and crossing
the equator, step suddenly imito the peace enshrined
posessaions of Australia, if he would ask what is the
gold digger's remedy for internal and external disease
there he would meet with the response, Holloway's Pills
and Ointment; let him take • more extended stride,
and, touching on his flight New Zealand and the innu-
merable islands of the Pacific Ocean, step finally on the
flourishing soil of British North America, be will still
find these medicines the alike adopted specifics for
disease with the Savage and the Settler. What princi-
ple of dissemination can be worthily compared with the
mighty organization instituted and consummated by
Thomas Holloway—we say, none! let it then advance,
conquering and conquer! its foe, disease ; and its aim
and object the alleviation of human suffering.
THICATRICALK.—The welcome given by the playgoers
of Dublin to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean after their long
absence from Ireland Ina been for its hearty enthusiasm
almost unprecedented in our theatrical annals. Their
eurgement commenced on Saturday week, Howiter
being the piece selected for the first night. The house
was filled to inconvenience, notwithstanding the incle-
mency of the weather. Since then the furor has
iiicreased, and each change of performance only adds to
the excitement, hundreds of people of all degrees having
been nightly disappointed in procuring even standing
room. The Dublin journals have rarely, if ever,
devoted so much space to dramatic critiques as they
have done upon the present occasion ; and it is almost
needless to say that, in common with the English press,
they are unanimous in according to Mr. and Mrs. Kean
the highest plum among those who have adorned the
British stags during the present generation. Besides
Hamlet, the other triumphs have been achieved in
Macbeth, Louis XI., The Wife's Secret, and the
Gamester. In the last-named most rigid of doinestie
tragedies the Mrs. Beverley of Mrs. Kean was pro-
nounced by those old enough to rember the palmy days
of Crow-street Theatre to be equal to the marvellous
delineation of the same character by Midi O'Neill (now
the widowed Lady Becher). The week's receipts at
Hawkins's-street must have been something enormous,
taking the aim of the house into account. The Earl id
Carlisle was present at the representation of Louis XI.
Mr. and Mrs. 'keen dined with his Excellency on Sun-
day week.
The Swedish t'hambers are engaged in the discussion
of the proposal which has been submitted to them by
the King as to the necessity for adopting measures for
the extension of religious toleration in the kingdom;
but it is feared that the liberal views of Hi Majesty
will be counteracted in at least one, if not in two, of
the Chambers.
The fund raised for the restoration of the octagon and
lantern of Ely Cathedral, as • memorial of the late
Dean Peapack' now amounts to nearly Zi,ooo. Th.e
Sem delivered by Mr. G. Gilbert Scott will, however,
Involve an expenditure of 0,000.
