SPEECH BY A PARSEE PRINCE.

We learn from the Bombay Gazette that his
Highness Meer Jaffer Ali Khan Bahadur entertained the
Parsee community of that place at clinger in honour of the
late marriage of his daughter. He made a speech to them
in which he mid that he reckoned the Parsee, a. his
brother,—"as, indeed, the whole human race is one com-
mon brotherhood." Of the impressions which England had
produced upon hiss, his highness thus spoke :—" I was
anxious that as occasion should ariae when I could give an
account of my sojourn in Em land to my fellow-countrymen;
and by the grace of God an opportunity has presented itself
to usthis evening. I wish I could describe to you the remark-
able intelligence of the Englishmea as displayed by them
in their various dealings—social, political, commercial. So
vast and varied is their knowledge in everything that they
have rightly earned the title of being ranked amongst the
Arst and foremost of nations on the face of the globe. Or! •

the first occasion when I visited England in 1844, I
stayed there for about five mouths. The gentry and nobi-
lity of that delightful country treated me with all the
kindness and consideration for which they are so remark-
able. In 1853 I paid • second visit to England, and
had occasion to prolong my stay there for five years.
During that long period I hail every opportunity of making
myself acquainted with their manner+ and customs, their
scent and political laws, their judicial system, &c., &c.
I moved amongst the leading men of the realm ; and my
association with Englishmen ill general has impressed me
with a very high opinion of their transcendent intelli-
gence in every branch of human knowledge. To appre-
ciate their several virtues, to admire their mechanics/
ingenuity, and to become acquainted with all that exalts our
mind and enlarges our heart, we must be Were on the spot. No
description, however full and glowing, could adequately
convey the idea I have received from personal visit of
the magnificence and grandeur of England rind her people.
One of the most remarkable things that struck me was the
system of their legislation and government. Their form of
government is the best I have yet seen. To the le of
the Eut, it strikes us as very strange that the e s ould
have so much control over the acts of the Queen ; in point
of fact, the people govern the country ; and to my mind it
should be so.- If we go deeper into the subject, we will see
that the people of a country should be the ruing body.
I was also struck with the mode in which justice is adminis-
tered. I would go no further than myself--you are all well
aware, gentlemen, of the particulars of my cue, you see
how equitably they have disposed of the matter. Let us
all pray for the permanent establishment of the British
power in India, and for the welfare and prosperity of their
nation wherever they go, and wherever they are."
The youngest brother of the present Parsee baronet hash
we learn from the Bombay Gaulle, commemorated the anni-
versary of the death of his father, Bit Jainsetjee, by paying
the debts of all the small cause court prisoners, who were
thirty-six in number, and whose debts amounted to 5,000
rupees.

The officers of the 3rd (or Soots Fusilier) Regiment
of Guards intend to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the
formation of that gallant and distinguished corps by a grand
banquet. Those noblemen and gentlemen who have at any
time served in the regiment will be invited to attend. The

commemorative enteiltiament will take place in the large
and elegantly decorated mom at Willies Rooms, King.
street, St. James's. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Ounbridge, aa colonel of the regiment, will preside
►t the banquet. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort,
formerly colonel-inchief of the regiment, has been pleased
to express his intention to be prevent on the occasion. The
dinner is appointed to take place on the 19th pros.
The Bank of Ireland, following the course of the
Bank of England, has just made a reduction of a half per
cont, in the into of interest. Its charges are now as follows:
—English and Irish bills having not more than 96 days to
run, 4 per cent. per annum. Scotch bills the same, with art
additional charge of an eighth per cent. Applications will
be received for loans on the security of government or bank
stock at per cent. English and Scotch bills having keg
than 11 days to run are taken ►t a uniform rate den eighth
per cent. in lien of discount.

A confirmation was hold on Friday at the Eng-
lish church, Rue d'Aguesoau, Maria, by the Bishop et
Ripon, acting on behalf of the Bishop of Loudon. 4bove
• hundred candidates were present. The pray r were
read by the Rev. E. Forbes, chaplain, and the bi4aop was
aniseed by the Rev. Prebendary Burgess and the Rev.
J. H. Beale. The church war filled with an attentive
congregatice.

The Grand Duke Nicholas arrived at Berlin on
Thursday from Eisenach, and took up his residence at
the Rwaian Embassy. At Groesbeeren his imperial billi•
fleas met the Prince Regent and Prince Frederick William.
On alightiag at the Berlin railway station the grind duke
was received by Prince Albert the younger, Field-Marshal
von Wrangel, the town commandant (Major-General Al-
venaleben), and the members of the Russian °whimsy. The
Grand Duchess Helene will arive this evening from Bt.
Petersburg.

The King of Sweden will visit the King of Den-
mark about the middle of next month, at the Kronborg
Palace. The Swedish King will enter (..Isrlaciona on the
Slot., and, after a stay there of a few days, will go to his
estate at &Amite'. On leaving Copenhagen his Majesty
will visit the summer camp of his troopi, and then pro-
ceed to Kronborg.

With reference to the extract we gar° from a
German paper relative to an alleged interception of a letter
from the Prince Regent to the Prince l'ousort, the l'rue-
sin,' Gazette says :—" The Dusseldorf the:elte in a reoent
number gives a very particular account of a conversation
between the Minister for Foreign Affairs sad the French
Ambassador. We are authorised to declare that no such
convention ever took place."
The supreme government in India loth published
a notification, which is baled ou instructions from the
Secretary of State for India, from which it appear that
no clergyman is to be appointed an inspector of schools ;
and that no one who is or has recently been engaged as
a missionary is eligible for any appointment in the
educational department. With these exceptions, if they
are otherwise fitted for the poet, clergymen are not pro-
hibited from employment in this way. But "no such
person is to be so employed without careful stivertence to his
individual character, to the particular position in which he
will be placed, and to the effect which nay be produced by
his appointment."
Great excitement has boon caused among the
bialys; of various parts of Henget, in consequence of a
wealthy bebop having been sentenced by Chief Justice
Peacock to transportation for fourteen years, for forging a
will. The ease is a remarkable sue. It appears that
&boo Sibkissen Singh forged a will in order that he might
come into his brother's property ; that the said brother
was treated during his last illness in a mint cruel manner ;
and that another saliva and a European surgeon (a Mr.
Crawford) were accomplices is the forgery. These two
latter persons hove been sentenced to seven years' trans-
palletise. Petitions, we learn from the tadoutia papers,
are being circulated with a view of procuriag a mitigation
of the sentences.
A correspondent at Woolwich, ou whom we can
rely, gives us the following - A private soldier of
the name of Wait's, sow serving in the Military train
at Woolwich, has, within the lest few days, received
the handsome present of 10,0001. from a brother in AUL.
