ACCIDENT TO THE PRINCESS LOUIS OF

We are sorry to learn that an accident occurred
to her Royal Highness the Princess Alice on Wednesday
last, and it was at first feared that it would be attended
with serious consequences. Her Royal Highness, attended
by the Hon. Miss Bruce, was proceeding in a waggonette
from Osborne, by the °owes road, and round the neighbour-
hood of Newport, for a morning drive, when the pos-
tilion attempted to drive between two other vehicles
which were on the road. The wheels of the vehicles came
into collision, the waggooette was overturned, and the
Princess and her oompsoion were thrown out with con-
siderable violence. The ankle of the Princess was spraineri,
and she was severely shaken, but sustained no further
damage. Her attendant was also considerably shaken, and
the muscles of her hand were severely lacerated. The unfor-
tunate ladies were removed to the residenee of Yr. H.
Nunn, close by, being assisted to the house by Mr. Groves,
• medical student, who was parsing at the time. Herßoyal
Highness and companion were subsequently removed to
Osborne.

One of our (A theneum) letters from Rome has
some gossip about the visit of the Prince of Wales. The
Prince ran round the studios with the ease of a private pa.
Haman. He bought only two pictures—one from Peary
Williams, the other from Rudolph Lehmann. At the
studio of the latter as incident occurred which ezhibits the
thoughtfukias sad good nature of the young Prince. Mr.
Wuhan was arranging his room, and whitewsehing his
lobby, what aa Italian valet de p/are rushed in upon
him announcing "11 Pi :wipe Inglese." The artist
was a little embenassed ; the Prince tried to pat him
at his ease by faking to see his book of portrait& Even that
was at home—not at the studio. Mr. Lehmann offered to
go and fetch it. " How long will it take you r 'eked the
Prince. " A quarter of an hour." " Mesa will wait with
pleasure." The Priam lit a cigar, and Mr. Lehmann rolled
home io the Priarres carriage. Louis %Pl., ander a similar
trial, had to say "Tai failli atkindre." The Prince eat out
the time, and bought one of the anguished pictures on the
wall ; the artist returned, and ha I the honour of a sitting
and an invitation to dinner. A portrait of the Prince of
Wales has been added to Mr. Lehmann's book of contain.
pantry beads.

A letter from Naples says :—" Although his
Royal Highness Prince Alfred had been invited to dine at
Ledy Holland's on Christmaeday, he spelt it at Babe with
his brother officers, and in every respect the rules of the
service are observed with as much strictness towards the
prince em towards any on board. As soon em he has passed
his examination for ► lientenaaey the prince will, I em told,
join the Swoon, which until lately had been expected down
here."

point. Referring to Italy he rid:—"One after another,
the enemies of the Holy Bee and of religion are taming
from the scene of their iniquities. Many of the leaders
in the sacrilegious warfare have goes already before the
eternal judge to account for their misdeeds ; many have
fallen from the height of their usurped authority never to
rise again. Disorder and contagion, robbery and bloodshed,
have been the consequences of their crimes; and the as.
happy man who was saluted by infatuated crowds as a re-
deemer, who was hailed as the first of heroes, and almost
placed upon the altars of protestant England because he
swore eternal enmity to catholic clergy and proclaimed the
Pope to be Antichrist—this unhappy man, ignominiously
defeated by • handful of soldiers. wounded, and taken pri-
soner at Aspromonte, has lout all his prestige, and become
an object of contempt even to those who puffed him up
with their praises, and he has retired into obscurity—there,
it is to be hoped, to weep over his follies and transgres-
sion, and to bemoan the many calamities inflicted on his
country"
