ARRIVAL OP MR. LOCH AT DOVER.

DOVER, TISIIIEDAY.

This afternoon the royal mail packet Alliaame,
arriving at this port from Calais, brought to England Mr.
Loch, with the already anticipated despatches from China.
The intelligence that Mr. Loch was on board, though ascer-
tained only a quarter of an hour before the snivel of the
packet, rapidly spread keel!' over the lower part of the
town, and on the arrival of the Alliance alongside the
Admiralty pier there war a crowd of eager and enthusiastic
spectators ready to give to Mr. Loch, so fresh from the
scene of the recent exploits in China, a hearty congratu-
lation on his isle arrival once more upon English
soil. On the vessel being brought to her moor-
ings, Mr. J. G. Charchward, of the Dover and Conti-
nental Mall Service, proceeded on board, and as an old ac-
quaintance of Mr. Loch's offered his congratulations. The
Mayor and Mr. W. H. Bodkin, the recorder of the borough—
the last-named gentleman having fortunately just arrived
at the Lord Warden at the time the telegraphic menage an-
penitents the departure of the Alliance with Mr. Loch on
board bad been received—also offend their congratulations
on his sale return. The Mayor (J. Birmingham, Esq.)
warmly welcomed him on his safe arrival in England. He
assured him the recital of his sufferings had excited the
utmost sympathy and commiseration of his countrymen, He

felt, however, that those sufferings bad induced the vigorous
measures that had resulted in • glorious peace. He re-
gretted the corporation, in a body, were deprived of the
honour and pleasure of waiting on his landing. Mr. Loch
tendered his best thanks, and expressed his gratitude for
all the kindness shown him. Among the persons amismbisd
at the railway station were a great number of ladies, in-
cluding Miss Birmingham, daughter of the mayor. All
gracefully welcomed Mr. Loch, who appeared highly grati-
fied with the reception afforded him. From the communi-
cations made by Mr. Loch it appears that at the time he
left the scene of operations in China Lord Elgin expected
to follow in about three months. Two regiments were
about to leave, and twelve men-of-war were also coming
home. As the train moved out of the station the persons
assembled raised a hearty cheer.

Christmas again finds Professor Farainy at the
lecture-table of the Royal Institution, addressing • nume-
rous audience of old and young with his wonted etteactive-
ness sad mew. Though the lectures he delivers at this
meson are intended for juvenile hearers, • large portion of
those who occupy the crowded benches are generally of
mature age, for, be the subject what it may, they feel
assured that they shall derive information and pleasure
from Professor Faraday's method of treating it. " Tbe
Chemical History of • Candle" is the subject of the present
course, as it was of the lectures delivered two yawn ago.

The Firehieto, the Italian Punk, has jest given
• clever representation of the different modes proposed for
the orgaaiaatioo of Italy. There is the " Italy of the old
diplomatists," the old, torn, patched, and most uncomfort-
able " Boot," with which Europe has been so long familiar.
Then there is the "Italy of the modern diplomatists," •
poppet, moved by strings and wires, and held in and
moved by the hand of Frame There is likewise the
"Italy according to the Mamialaa programme of ' God's
I the peepio'"—a glittering soap-bubble, blown out of the
wise of abstract ideas. There is " Italy such a• her one-
setae wish to soaks her," symbolised by • captive maiden
who is chained by an Austrian gaoler, coil scourged by •
bigot priest. Contrasted with this victim the artist has
sketched "Italy such as her true Maids woald reader
her "—a mailed and helmeted Amason, her left arm leaning
oo • =soon, her right head grasping a sword, guarding a
fief on which is inscribed " Italy and Victor Emmanuel."
Again, there is the Italy of the " Fadesahsts," set forth by
• party of clowns and pantaloons, each endeavouring to
obtain • slice of a tempting and well-sugared cake.
