THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OP WALES IN
SCOTLAND.

The Prince and Princess left their hotel in Edin-
burgh at fifteen minutes after eleven yesterday morning,
amid the cheers of 10,00 people, for Holyrood. The royal
party spent en hour and a half in the old palace, visiting
Queen tlary's apartments, and narrowly examining the
black stains on the floor of the closet where Rizzi° was
murdered, and which are popularly believed to be marks of
his blood. The Picture Gallery and the grounds of the
Abbey were also inspected. Her royal highness expressed
her delight with all that was shown her, but she seemed
especially struck with the situation of the city. They after-
wards went round Arthur's Seat, by the Queen's-drive, and
from that picturesque road they proceeded to the Castle, where
they arrived just in time to see the 1 o'clock gun fired by
electricity from the clock. While they were inspecting the
regalia of Scotland, kept in the Castle, the rain, which had
fallen severely to the moroiog, recommenced, and continued
in a pitiless pour until about ten minutes after their depar-
ture, which took place from the North British Station at
&30 p.m.

PERTH, FRIDAY EVIZNING.

The royal train arrived at 5.30 p.m., and their
royal highnesses were received on the platform by the Earl
of Dunmore, the sheriff, and the Lord Provost and magis-
trates. They were conveyed in a carriage and pair to the
British Hotel, where they passed the eight. The public
were not admitted to the station, bat a crowd was usem-
bled beyond the walls, and cheered their royal highnesses as
they proceeded to the hotel. The Prince and Princess ap-
peered at the window and were again cheered. The Prince,
accompanied by the Fart of Dunmore, drove to Boone
Palace in an open carrisge and pair.

PRINCE ALFRED ♦A ♦ NAVAL OFFICER.—OD
Thursday (observes the United Service Gazette) his Royal
Highway Prince A'fred, • lieutenant of the Royal Navy,
completed his nineteenth year, and the event wan duly cele-
betted by royal salutes fired at the different seaports and
garrison towns. It affords us much gratification to learn
that the noble sailor prince has thoroughly identified
himself with the naval service, attending to his duty
on board ship with the zeal and sailor•like readiness
and attention which mark young officers endeavouring
to rise in the service by their own merit. While
in the Racoon he has performed the regular duty of •
lieutenant, keeping his watch and taking his fair share in
every routine employment. For • time he will be re-
moved from nautical service in order to attend upon the
Queen during her Majesty's German tour, after whi.dr.
it is said, his royal highness will devote some time to the
cultivation of civil learning ; but we trust and believe
that the Royal Navy will ever remain the particular branch
of the public service to which he will devote his at-
tention, and we hope that in doe time he may take
a high ,f rank and position in it, which will en-
able him to watch over and advance its best interests.
A gratifying proof of the kindly feeling with which Prince
Alfred regards his shipmates was afforded only a few days
since, when he came across from Osborne to Portsmouth
purposely to attend the funeral of • seaman gunner, William
Heger, who hid been killed by a fall from the foretop of
the Racoon on the 31st ult. Such a considerate and touch-
ing act of condescension will endear his royal highness more
than ever to his countrymen ; and particularly to those who
have served, and who may yet have the honour and plea-
sae to serve, under his command.

THE ILLNEeI OF LORD CLYDE—We regret to
my that the accounts of Lord Clyde's state of health are
still of an extremely unfavourable character. Notwith-
standing the resistance to disease which an astonishingly
vigorous constitution enables him to make, the condition of
the gallant field•manhal ii most precarious, and fills those
around him with anxiety.—/raty, and Navy Gazette.

LA.TEST INTELLIGENCE.

AUSTRIA.
The Vienna Pre&e of the 4th says:

The imperial government would seem to have lately
adopted some important resolutions. The German ques-
tion I. one of the objects to which the ministry have
directed their attention, and we are assured that Austria is
going to propose • federal reform which will exceed the
expectations of the moat sanguine. A national representa-
tion in the Federal Diet with al] that such a principle
carries with it is the mot d'ordre of M. de ltech-
berg- We learn at the earns time that the govern-
ment will take • decided step in customs reform and
make known its views in regard to a free trade modification
of the tariff, and its union with the Zollverein. It is said
in diplomatic circles that times two propositions—federal re-
form and customs union—have been the principal subjects of
discussion between the two sovereigns at Deakin, and the
discussion of them has in no way modified the resolutions
already come to at Vienna on both these points.

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, AVOVST 3.

The /nratide /inns of yesterday says :—" The
Emperor returned from his excursion to Finland
yesterday afternoon. At Tavastehuus his Imperial
Majesty reviewed 10 battalions of Finnish Chasseurs,
and was present at a sham fight in the camp
established upon the road between Abo and Bieren-
borg. While marching past the troops sang Rus-
sian and Finnish national hymns."
The same paper gives the following from Mos-
cow :—" The energetic and dignified attitude of
our government, in face of the pretensions of the
Western Powers to intervene in our internal affairs
has gained it the support of all to whom the
national dignity is dear. The ukase ordering the
new levy for the month of November is conaidered
by our population as a guarantee that this atti-
tude will be firmly maintained. Thus, this measure,
which has hitherto always created discontent
and grief among the masses, has been re•
ceived upon this occasion with joy and gratitude.
The replies of Prince Gortchakoff have called
forth general enthusiasm. Everybody regards
the future with satisfaction and calm. The moral
strength of Russia has increased considerably of
late, and she will surmount all her difficulties.
With this assurance Russia need not fear any
foreign coalition."
