crew, who loudly cheered him. The Prince and
17arty
reached the landing-stage shortly after two o'clock, an,.
carriages being in waiting for them, they drove at once to
the Town-hall. Bodies of police were stationed both at
the Landing-stage and Town-hall, but as it was not
generally known that Prince Napoleon had returned from
Manchester, very few persons were present to receive him.
He did not long delay at the Town-hall, but after a hurried
inspection of its magnificent suite of rooms, proceeded to
witness the races at Aintree. He was accompanied by Mr•
C. Turner, the French Conenl, and his suite, consisting
of Le Baron de la Ronciere-le•Nonry, membre du conseil
d'amiraute ; M. Ferri Pisani, chef d'escarde d'etat msjor,
aides-de-camp; M. Rignault, mambre de I'institut ; M.
Le Vicomte chef d'escadron, aides-de-camp ; M. L 9 Comte
Broniki ; M. Arago, inspector-general deg beaux arts ; M.
Champcomtois, ingenieur des Mines, profes3eur a l'Ecole
des Mines. On his return from Aintree he visited St.
George's-ball, and in the evening entertained at dinner,
on board La Beine Hortense, the deputy-mayor, Mr,
Alderman J. H. Turn3r, and Mr. Charles Turner. He
sailed from Liverpool this morning, and will touch at the
Isle of Man on his way to Belfast. He bears a striking
resemblance to the great founder of his family, and would,
in any company, be at once recognised as a Bonaparte. I

PRINCE NAPOLEON AND IRISH " ARDENT ►SPIRITS."—
That respectable journal, the 'Dublin Freeman's Journal,
states that Prince Napoleon, before leaving Dublin, ordered
a large cask of the best Irish whiskey, from Mr. Smith's,
of Seckville-street, in that city, and that on Sunday morn-
ing last, on board the Royal yacht in Kingstown Harbour,
his Imperial Highness, along with his officers of state, &c.,
after dinner, mixed good strong tumblers of punch, and
drank success to " Ould Ireland," before leaving the hos-
pitable shores of Green Erin. All very good; but what
will Neil Dow say ? when we inform that " cute" Yankee,
that we have also heard (nn private authority of course)
that the chorus of a celebrated Irish ditty followed the last
sup of the aforesaid tumbler, in this fashion—
" Oh, sire some take delight in fishin and fowlin ;
An more takes delight in their carriage a rowlin ;
But all my delight is, without any blarney,
A supptn full tumblers o' the juice o' the barley !"

Dowager Lady Raglan, the Hon. Misses Somerset, Lady

married pair took their departure for B idminton House,
Gloucestershire, the seat of the Duke of Beaufort.—The
marriage of the Hon. Edward William Douglas, youngest
son of the Earl of Morton, with Miss Bankes, youngest
daughter of the late Right Hon. George Bankes, was
solemnised at the parish church of St. Margaret's, West-
minster, in the presence of a distinguished circle.. The
marriage of William Frederick Webb, EN., late of the
17th Lancers, of Cowton and Westwick, in the county of
York, with Miss Goodlake, eldest daughter of T. M.
Goodlake, Esq., of Wadley and Shillingford, in the county
of Barks, and granddaughter of the late Sir Edward and
Lady Elizabeth Baker, took place on Wednesday, at St.
George's Hanover-square, in the presence of a very
numerous circle of the fashiouable world. Miss Goodlake
wore a superb bridal costume composed of a white taffetas
d'ltalie dress, trimmed with three-deep Brussels lace
flounces. A square veil of the same oustly materiel was
thrown over the head, which was encircled with a wreath
of orange blossoms and myrtle. The bridesmaids were
attired in very elegant costumes of white muslin, with pink
scarfs.

MARITIME Law.—ln the House of Commons, on Tues-
day evening, Mr. Lindsay moved an address for copies of
the letter addressed by the American secretary of state
to the French government, in answer to the resolution of
the Paris conference upon the subject of privateering.
Lord Palmerston merely stated in reply that the papers
did not exist in a fit state for production at the present
time; and he had less inclination to discuss them, seeing
that the negotiations on the subject had been suspended.
Lord John Russell thought that the time had come for
the government to state what were the propositions made
at the Paris congress. This country was not bound to
concede those principles which were part of the law of
nations ; and it had never 'given to Lord Clarendon the
slightest authority to discuss any compromise of those
principles. There was not and could not be any analogy
between property on land and at sea. A man who had a
farm in the centre of France or Virginia was in quite a
different position from those who sent large fleets to sea,
manned by thousands of men, who the next moment might
be employed against the navy of this country. The whole
matter was in a most unsatisfactory state. Undoubtably
our most efficient weapon in war had always been our
power of crushing the commerce of our enemy, and
so making him most eager in desiring that the war should
come to an end. But if any great power, such as France,
or America, could maintain its trade in full vigour, and
send its manufactures over the world in perfect security,
in neutral bottoms, there would be no reason for any
hurry in making peace. The noble lord concluded by
declaring his opinion that this question was in a most
alarming state ; but the motion was withdrawn without
eliciting any further declaration or assurance from
ministers.
