of the Great Northern of France Railway • but on

dating of Major•Geoeral the Hon. R. Bruce, Colonel the
Hon. Sir C. B. Phipps, Lieut.-Colonel Koppel, Major Tees-

strong, and the Hon. R. Meade, went on board the Vivid,
Admiralty yacht, and steamed out of port for the English
shores. The wind wee blowing stiffly from the south-weat,
and the Vivid was in consequence two hours and • quarter
in making Folkestone Harbour. Just as the Vivid entered
the harbour, a smart shower of rain compelled the royal
party hastily to quit the deck for shelter ; bat when the vessel
had been securely moored, the Prince and his suite stepped
once more on English soil, and proceeded to lksidant's Royal
Pavilion Hotel, where luncheog was served in the state
room. At 1.45 p.m. the royal party drove to the harbour
station. A very great number of persons were present on
the quay and at the platform, but the corporation of
Folkestone did not present any address.
His Royal Highness has none of the marks of travel on
his countenance, but at his landing he was much paler
than usual, though is excellent spirits.

The Yelverton marriage case turns up once more
in the Scotch law report.. It appears that the " debate
oa the case has been going on in the Court of Bastion at
intervals for the last month, and that it had been brought
to a dose on Friday. Mrs. Theresa Yelverton seeks to be
declared the wife of Major Yelverton, while the major's
object is to put the lady to "perpetual silence" as regards
this claim, and to have her amerced in the sum of " 504 of
damages for advancing it." The printed papers relating
to the case fill • quarto volume of 618 pages, 112 of which
an occupied with the correspondence which passed between
the major and the lady during their courtship, and after
the alleged Scotch and Irish marriages.
It is stated that it is intended to apply to the
states of the Duchy of Holstein at their next session for an
appanage to the son of Prince Charles of Glucksburg. The
Danish government will ground the application on the fact
that Priem Christian is appointed heir to the Danish
monarchy by the protocol of London, sod that the govern-
ment, as they affirm, have induced the rightful heir to the
duchies, Duke Christian Augustus of Schleserig•Holatein-
Sonderburg-Armustenburg, to surrender his estates and re-
nounce the SUOCIII4OI2 in consideration of the sum of
2,500,000 thalers. The friends of the duke, however, deny
that any such renunciation has taken place.
A letter from Rome, describing the illumination
of St. Peter's, at the late canooisation ceremony, says :
" And now it is time to light up the 15,000 candles, each
weighing 41b., as lam told. The windows are closely
curtained, though •my of light does now and then break
in, for light will penetrate into the thickest darkness, and
men tied on a small plank an let down from the roof to
light the candles round the embittered ; and what a dizzy
height it is They look like crows, or ' earophire
gatherers' on the cliffs of Dover, no bigger than year
bead, and they an drawn up and down several hundred
feet above us. One heaves • freer breath
they are hauled up. As for the candelabra .and
the lower lighta, they require • strong heed too ;
and now the great spectacle is prepared. Yet the
effect is not brilliant ; so vast are the proportions of the
church that it is in comparative darkness, ea if stars of the
fourth magnitude were glittering faintly. Seen from with-
out, the walls had the appearance of being inlaid with
bright mosaics, while the smoke of the candles and of the
incense gave the interior the appearance of • vast theatre
in • thick London fog. The lighting up was • decided mis-
take, and the leas said about it the better. In the resealed
near the transepts were fire-engines and Poenpieri, for con-
, adorable apprehensioos of danger were entertained, and
great precautions were taken, but nothing unpleasant hap-
pened except showers of wax, which bespattered many a
uniform, and the occasional flaring up of • candle, which
one of the sunphire boys, to our horror, was always let
down to extinguish."
The fruit and grain crops in the western states
of America promise to be moat abundant. In Illinois the
sugar cane is to be cultivated. and in the southern and cen-
tral part of the state the cotton pleat will be introduced.
The Illinois Central Railway Company are rendering every
assistance to these agricnitnral experiments. No complaint
is made of the scarcity of labour. An Illinois paper says
that that state could now raise an army of 10,000 men, and
find beef and breadstuffs enough to feed half the Union.
One county is Missouri has this year raised 4,000,0001b1.
of tobacco.
The sugar crop in Cuba has been a pretty fair
Gee. There are warehoused in Havana and Matanzas
452,000 boxes. Lut year there were only 316,000 housed.
Handsome profits have been made out of cotton at Hams.
