ARRIVAL AT STOCKHOLM OF THE
PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.

(nor ova snow, cosiusrostort)
STOCKHOLM, Sim 26 Samna.

An immense crowd has just welcomed the Prince
and Princess of Wales on the quay opposite the
Palace. At seven o'clock it became obvious that
the landing would have to take place by artificial
light. A quantity of flambeaux were brought down
and distributed among the policemen and the
guards who were waiting near the carriages. The
waiting bad grown tedious by this time, but very
shortly after seven our eyes were gladdened by the
sight of lurid flashes in the sky to sea-
ward, which told us that a fort called
" tbe castle," on an island a few miles from the town,
was saluting the royal squadron. The distance was
too great to allow the sound to reach us against a
gentle breeze which was blowing, and the silent
flashes of the guns, momentarily illuminating the
clouds like gleams of summer lightning, bad a
curious effect. This saluting meant that the Prince
would be at the landing place in half an hour. The
flambeaux, therefore, were lighted, the positions of
the policemen who held them were shifted, the offi-
cials present moved about more than before, and
everybody plucked up his drooping spirit. The
view out to seaward, however, was perfectly dark
by this time, and we could not see the Osborne as
she came up, for the glare of the flambeaux made
it impossible to distinguish distant objects. I
found out afterwards, however, that the Os-
borne came up abreast of the Palace, and an-
chored within seventy or eighty yards of the
shore. Then her barge was brought to the side
ladder, and the whole party entered it. As the
boat pushed off the Osborne burned blue lights,
and the Swedish gentlemen on the landing place
threw off their great coats and went down to the
water's edge. In a few momenta the boat was
alongside in the glare of the flambeaux, and the
crowd began to cheer. The officials and officers
crowded round, and several persons were on shore
iu a few seconds, so that it was almost impossible
to say who landed first ; but I think that the
Princess of Wales, handed out by the Governor of
Stockholm, was the first to put her foot on shore.
She and Prince Oscar, in his dark blue uniform of
vice-admiral, and preceded by men with flambeaux,
then walked slowly up the pathway, while the
crowd cheered loudly and heartily. The Prince of
Wales, in a general's uniform, and therefore con-
spicuous by being the only man present in scarlet,
and Prince John of Glucksburg followed them
closely. To describe the order in which the
members of the suite followed would be a super-
fluous task, which it would be difficult to perform
correctly, for the flambeaux were on in advance,
and the whole party followed the Prince of Wales
in a crowd.

When the Princess and Prince Oscar reached the
end of the pathway a very pretty sight presented
itself—the Charles XII. Guards had each been pro-
vided with lighted flambeaux, and they wheeled
round two and two and cantered past, the horses
prancing, and all but unmanageable under the
double excitement of the noise and lights. A large
open carriage with four horses, led by running
footmen, followed them closely, end in this, amid
the cheers of the crowd, the Prince and Princess of
Wales, Prince Oscar, and Prince John of Denmark
were driven ofL Another carriage and four was
instantly at the end of the pathway, and then ano-
ther and another. In a very few moments the whole
party had been taken up, and the busy show was
over. Within the courtyard of the palace was
another great crowd, and a military band which
played "God save the Queen" for about a quarter
of an hour after the Prince's arrival. The King
received his guests within the palace, and I have
since been told that they were not insensible to the
splendour which awaited them. The effect of the
rooms when lighted up, as they were when the
Prince and Princess first saw them, must have been
indeed superb. .

SEPT. V, 1 o'cr.ocic P.M.

The Prince and Princess have already shown us
that they have been in no way fatigued by their
voyage, fur they have paid a state visit, accompa-
nied by the King and court, to the theatre. It was
hoped that they would do this, and the performance
of the Figlia del Reggiesento, the opera of the
evening, was put off till a late hour to suit them.
The opera house of Stockholm is peculiarly well
suited to a state visit, for the royal box is a large
enclosure, occupying the centre of the first circle,
and surmounted by a gilded crown and crimson
velvet canopy. The King, the Queen, the Queen
Dowager, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince
Oscar, and the others, came into the box at a little
after ten o'clock, and the performances were inter-
rupted to allow the orchestra to play " God save
the Queen." The house, which is a large one, con-
taining five tiers of boxes, was crammed iu every
Corner.

General Garibaldi has written the following let-
ter to the editor of the Movinento : " Capture, Sept. 26.
beg of you to insert the following in your exodlent
journal. It is said that there are circulating in England
bills of exchange, purporting to bear my signature. I beg to
say that such signatures are false, as I have not Aped any
bills of exchange for soy rum or for any puma—

THE COHEN AFFAIR.

The Side has the following :

The Jewish Amities* had announced that a anbecriptioa
was opened for the expatriation of all the subjects of the
Pope belonging to the Jewish religion. The convention of
November 15 will probably do sway with the nosessity for
this subetription although a good many Jewish children
may be forced away from their parents in the 00M1110 of tan
years. Neophytes are restored to their parents when they
are protesionte, and when on English cousul demands
their restoration : but when Inelite neophyte are
concerned the mane adopted is quite different. The fire e
Cat/no/am says, " The Cohen affair, as the journals which
Irish to give themeless an air of importance call it, is
settled. In a short time the young catethumeo will receive
holy baptism ; he will eater the Church of Jesus Christ,
in spite of all the libertines of the world,of all the principles
of 1789, and of all the diplomacy which is founded on those
principles." Whilst they are rejoicing in Rome at the
happy termination of the Cohen affair, the Index has not
ceased to act. It has just condemned, " Les Aveotures do
Chevalier de Febnlas." It was high time.
