Whenever Prince Alfred of England succeeds to the
throne of the two duchies of Coburg and Gotha, the
reigning house of Coburg will gain a step in German
hierarchy. At present the sovereign is only entitled to
the designation of highness or ducal highness. Prince
Alfred being, however, of immediate royal descent, will
retain for hitnself,"and assume for his heirs, the title of
"Royal Highness?' This latter title is now restricted to
the elector of Hesse, and to sovereign "grand'' dukes,
such as Oldenburg, Baden, Hesse Darmstadt, the two
Mecklenburgs, and Weimar.

VISIT OF THE PRINCES OF DUDE TO
LIVERPOOL.

Yesterday, the Princes of Oude (two) paid a visit to cur
"pod old town." The visit caused some attraction, end
a large number of people were collected at the Lime-street
station, not only to welcome, but to look at the illustrious
strangers. Amongst those present to receive " Eastern
Royalty" in the "Northern Metropolis," were his worship
the Mayor, J. C. Ewell, Esq., M.P.; William Brown, E,l;
M.P. ; Berl Talbtr, Charles Turaer, Esq ; M. Gieeson,
Esq.,: Jahn Torr, Esq.; Captain Price, Hilton Halhead,
Esq., end a large number of ether gentlemen, vritie,a;
sprinkling of the fair sex. The Mayor's carriages a:l4

the carria,zes of W. Brown, -Esq., M.P., Oita S,,,,unri

police were also present, and Mr, Palmer,-with Air. in
and other gentlemen connected with the ItallwaYf were
attendance to receive the noble Princes. The party, will,
consisted of the two Princes of the Royal blood of •Ourlue
and their entire suite, comprised about 20 persons—" fronr

patronymics—we failed totally to procure. Princes, but
especially Etkern Princess, are net presumed to have teal

and first time, -what the name of our Prince Consort ice
beside that of Albert ? and we venture to add that not
one in the large realms of the sovereign .to whom he is'
married can tell u'. After- a vast deal of trouble, our
reporter procured the following, which were said to be the'
names of the King apparent, and his royal uncle ; and if
the public feel satisfied with the names, why so do we.
