PRINCI AL7IIID.—We have reason to believe
that it is her Majesty's intention that in the
ensuing autumn Prince Alfred shall pass some time
in Edinburgh. Ilia Royal Highness will reside in
Holyrood, and will take advantage of the facilities
afforded by the residence in that capital of distin-
guished professors to attend lectures, and by other
means to complete his education. It is probable
that his Royal Highness's stay in Edinburgh may
extend to six mouths.

DRAMA.

BTEAND.

The play of the Duke's Motto thee been too enc.
osneful atilt, Lyceum not to attract the attention of burlesque
writers, and the travestie produced last night at the Strand
Theatre hem therefore been long looked for. The title of
this new and promising venture ia The Mello :1 am all
there, and the author, as might naturally be expected, is
Yr. Byron. No writer who is not determined to make his
fun rnbeervient to his [story could have manufactured an
interesting burlesque out of such materials, and Mr. Byron
has shown his usual tact sad judgment in this oomio prewar-
don of the Ffval•Brougbam drams. The drum' and
seearry were all, as usual, in the best taste, and the
burlesque was received with loud expreeniona of delight
from all parts of the house. The calla for the author were
responded to by Mr. Beranborough, who announced the
piece for repetition amidst general applause.

"The army of the Potomac seems to be fighting
with the greatest vigour, determination, and dash.
The rebel army, too, is fighting with desperation.
It is now really a desperate matter with them, far
away as they are from their base, from their homes,
and sure, if they once break, to be pursued by our
army, by tens of thousands of militia, by our re-

Pantos ALFRED IN SIINTLAND.—On the eveningof
the Bth inst. her Majesty's steam corvette RaCOOO, under the
command of Count Oleichen (captain), and having on board
his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, anchored off Lerwick,
midway between the town and the island of Sway.
The 9th wee spent by his royal highness, Count Gleichen,
and Major Cowell in selecting a few good specimens
of the Shetland pony. The prince purchased two fine
black ones. The ponies, six in number, were all shipped by
11 a.m. His royal highness and party then made several
purchases of native manufactures in the shops, and visited
the old Pictish rain in the Loch of Clickamin. In the even-
ing the Prince, Count Gleichen, Major Cowell, and party
enjoyed themselves pittock fishing along the Brawny @bon.
At 9.15 p.m.. on the 10th, all bands were piped up to weigh
anchor, his Royal Highness Prince Alfred taking his post
on the bow to superintend operations forward in as motor.
like a manner as any officer in her Majesty's service could,
every shackle as it hove m sight being duly reported and a
constant eye kept—not upon the many boats that thronged
around the vessel, but upon the men engaged in the work.
By 9.30 all was clear and " full steam' soon made the
EACOOO'O head swing into mid channel and proceed to the
southward. The herring fleet of Dutch loggers being in
the harbour their crews, seemingly with one voice, saluted
his royal highness as he left with three cheers, which was
duly returned. As the Racoon passed the institute lately
erected by the liberality of Mr. A. Anderson, chairman of
the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, all
the scholar' were mustered to take up the cheering which
was again renewed as the corvette passed the Nale by
several hundreds of the Lerwegians. The Racoon proceeded
to StrOWOOSS, to remain a few hours, thence to proceed to
Stornoway, St. Hilda, he., reaching Portsmouth by the end
of the month.
