TIM Pill NCI! or WA LKS AT It.ni E. —A letter from
Moine, in the Morning Post, datA the sth, says :
kite Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived safely
in this city yestenlay afternoon at half-past 4 o'clock
with Colonel Bruce and the several members of Isis
suite, and took up his residence in the apartments pre-
pared for him at the Hotel des Iles Britanniques. 'rhe
weather was by nu means propitious, and the Prince's
first impress of the Eternal City inust have been
damped by the deluge of rails which was falling at the
mousent of his arrival, but be took advantage of a
momentarily clearing up moon after, and walked out on
the comparatively solitary Corm. In the eve the
Pope's Majorol and Graiid Chamberlain called, in
the name of his Holiness, to pay their respects Ii his
Royal Highness ; as did also the Cuitimentlatore
Datti, the gentleman appointed to be in waiting upon
the prince in his visits to the various public place.,
eights. or soleinnitice of Rome. I'M Sono has expretsed
Isimself re•sostly, in audience's granted to British visitors
as j.eculiarly please., at the visit of the Prince of Wales ;
but Ise appears hardly to appreciate the strictness of the
iiervaita under which his Royal Highness is aupposeil
to be travelling ; and, indeed, it must be indifferent
under what particular title princes arc announced in
foreign countries, if the same Iss 00000 urs are paid them by
the soverAguit whose ternitories they may visit. At
Bologna the prince wan waited ujmn by the Cantina'
Legate, and every attention was shown him by the t to-
venunent authorities during his brief stay in that city.
Here there will he nu lack of courtesy ill the mode of
his reception. Our char.;;:..l'afTsirs, Mr. 010 Its s
will without delay arrange for the mime to have a
private audience of his Holiness, who has already Ire-
lamed an extremely beautiful mosaic table to on sent to
Isis Royal Highness upon the occasion. Yesterday
morning many of the nobility and gentry 110 Ir staying in
Rome inscribed their names in the book prepared at the
hotel for the pritios'e visitors. His Royal Highness com-
mence.' his insight into the wonders of the city yester-
day morning by going to St. Peter's, the muter it copal
iii Roman lions, if not of ROili.n churches, since pre-
cedence is assigned to St. John Literati's over all other
ecclesiastical ftliflces in the world. To.day a really
Italian sun has shown over the glorious old city, and the
prince has lied an opportunity of looking upon the ruins
of the Forum in their true golden light. His Royal
Highness will also profit by the return of fine weather
to make frequent equestrian excursions in the Csiispagna
round Rome. and his horses have already arrived in good
condition. It is not to be presumed that he will follow
the bounds, who still continue to go out quietly with a
select few Nimrod's. 'since his Holiness has so decidedly
disapproved of that kind of sport."
The following govenmsent notice was published in
Malta on the 2nd inst. His Excellency the Governor
is pleased to state, for the information of the uuhlic. that
Ise has received a despatch from I ler Majesty s Principal
Secretary of State for the Colonies, expreating the satis.
faction with which H..r Majc 4y has received the intelli-
gence that the arrival of liis Royal Highness Prince
Alfred in Malta elicited from all (busses of the Maltese
population one universal expreasiutt of enthusiasm and
of loyalty. Iler Majesty has been much affected by
this indication of the attachment of the people of Malta
to herself and to the royal family."

continued : for the Princes,' and her child are "quite
well." That the "event" affordwl great satisfaction in
Berlin is shown by every communication from that can'
tal. Workmen and poor women were seen hurrying
(non the most distant quartera of the city, and even the
peasants from the neighbouring villages, to learn how
the Princess was progressing; and an for Prince Freda-
riok-Williatu, it is said that Ise takes little pains to conceal
Isis delight. We are told that he recently declared. in
presence of a deputation f the l7pper House, " that
his chili' was really the largest and fluent he hail ever
seen, and not at all so ugly as babies of that age usually
are.
