with great obstinacy.

place to-morrow. The spirit of the army excellent, and

Tux LATE PRINCE DE CONDE. —The youthful
Prince de Oonde, eldest son of the Duc d'Aumale, whom
death we lately announced, is an irreparable loss to the
Orleans family. He ores a young man of remarkable pro.
mine, high-principled, warmhearted, gifted with uncommon
powers of mind, thoughtful and asinous beyond his years,
manly in his tastes, and fond, like his father, of the
field sports of England. His education had been
most carefully conducted, at trot under the super-
intendence of the Duo d'Aumale himself, then at
the High School of Edinburgh, and, lastly, in a Swim
military college. In the annum& of last year he left this
country with the intention of making an extended tour
through British India and our Australian colonies, and was
enjoying his travels with all that power of observation and
WM, for knowledge which disthiguislad bun when he wm
seized with typhus fever at Sydney, which rapidly proved
fatal. In him the House of Orionis has lost one of its
fairest hss, and the interne grief of his family in shared
in no small degree by many in this country who bad the
honour of knowing him.—Tina.
Foinnox-ornen, Jaws 23.—The Queen has been
pleased to approve of Mc Philip ligyainney as Consul at
