EMBARKATION OF THE PRINCE OF

WALFII.

WOOLWICH, Sm. 5.

Tlie Osborne, Admiralty steam yacht, Master-

-
Commander Power, having coaled at the Dockyard, pro-
ceeded to the Arsenal this afternoon, and moored off the
pier, under orders to embark his Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales and suite to-morrow for the continent. Commo-
dore Superintendent Sir F. W. E. Nicholson, flag officer at
Woolwich, this day received an official communication to
the effect that his Royal Highness and suite will arrive at
Woolwich ►bout six o'clock p.m. to-morrow, and the em-
barkation will take place shortly after that hoar. In
accordance with the directions of his Royal Highness, the
proceedings will be conducted with • similar degree of
privacy as the embarkation of her Majesty on Monday last.
and beyond Commodore Nicholson, and a select number of
officers who will superintend the embarkation, no person
will be admitted to the pier. The Vivid and Black Eagle
stem vessels will form part of the royal squadron..
Robert Bray, superintendent of the It division of police,
has been appointed by the Metropolitan Police Commis-
rimers as acting superintendent of the Woolwich Arsenal
and Dockyard force, pending the suspension of Mr. Kingston
Mark, for allowing • friend of the principal naval store-
keeper to enter the dockyard during prohibited hours on
the day of her Majesty's embarkation. It appears that Mr.
Mark, who is • highly respected and efficient officer of more
than twenty-five years' service, protested against the admis-
sion of the gentleman referred to, but did not use absolute
force to eject him, inasmuch that Mr. Piers, the store-
keeper, who resides in the dockyard, insisted upon his friend
walking down the yard to his own house, which he consi-
dered was not opposed to the Admiralty order. Mr. Piers
having also been suspended, an official inquiry respecting
the matter is ordered to take place.

Information was yesterday received at Wool-
wich announcing the intention of the Lords of the
Admiralty to issue an order for the abolition, at
the (undress uniform at present worn by officers
tf the navy, and to substitute in its stead • neat
tunic, which is pronounced to be a most satisfactory im-
provement and an economy to the wearer, as instead of
three costa, which at present constitute • portion of an
officer's necessary kit—namely, the full dress, only worn at
court, the undress, rarely worn on duty, and the frock or
great mat in daily use, one coat will suffice, the difference
between dregs and undress being the epaulettes only, which
it is stated are to be retained. It is suggested that, to com-
plete the comfort and advantage to the wearer, a light and
handsome headdress might be adopted in the place of the
unsightly and awkward cocked hat.

The various articles, other than cotton, available
for textile manufactures, are now attracting attention and

A further correspondence has taken place between
Lord Llanover, the lord-lieutenant of Monmouthshire, and
the Lord Chancellor with respect to the right of an unfor-
tunate Mr. Joao, who cannot be allowed to have the
name of Herbert mitered cm the comminion of the peace,
unless he will go through the trouble and expense of pro-
curing the Royal licence for the much coveted alteration of
Ibis surname.

next meeting on the Bth end 9th.inst..

A counterpart of Roupell has just appeared before
the criminal court of Toulon, in the person of the ex-
director of the Christian Brothers' schools in that town.
For twenty years his life hu been an uninterrupted ooune
of swindling, carried on with such adroitness that nobody
entertained the slightest suspicion as to the means by which
he provided his table with the rarest delicacies. The most
novel feature in this case is that the denouncers of the
culprit belong to his ..rder. He was employed by them to
exert his influence over divers individuals in getting money
left to some religious establishment, and was thus afforded
excellent opportunities of making false deeds and wills in
his own favour. The vows of the French Christian Fathers
not being perpetual, did not exclude him from the benefit of
his legacies, and a savings bank started by him served as a
supplementary resource where bills for choice wines, orto-
lens, and other delicacies of the table exhausted the funds
acquired by the fraudulent deeds and wills.
