The Prince of Wales reached Cadiz on the 30th Jilt. and
was received by the military and civil authorities of the
city. The Duke of Montpensier also sent to compliment
his royal highness on his arrival. The prince visited Xeres
on the 30th, and the next day he intended to proceed tb

Seville, calling on his return at San Lucar, to visit the Duke
and Duchess of Alontpensier. Previous to the Prince's
arrival at Cadiz he had visited Tangier, and was received
there by a royal, salute, and by the Moorish Minister for
Foreign Affairs and the Pacha of Tangier, who with a guard

reside at Holyrood Palace for some weeks, for the purpose
of pursuing a course of study preparatory to going to Oxford
in October, in which city his Royal Highness will, it is
understood, attend lectures, and take advantage of the
facilities for completing his education afforded by the Uni-

pursue a similar course at a later period at the sister
university.

that her Majesty Queen Victoria has forwarded an autograph
letter to the Pope, thanking his Holiness for.his present of
a beautiful mosaic table. It is added that the Pope was

TitE "ROSE or CASTILLE," at the Theatre Royal, on Saturday
evening, drew au excellent audience, for the last performance
of the " Pyne and Harrison Opera Company." It was•put
upon the stage with all that carefulness and beauty' for
which, as managers, Miss Pyne and Mr. Harrison have created

name," and which, indeed, has, we may now
hope, made English Opera an "institution" of our country. NA r
Mr. Harrison played his part of Manuel (the Muleteer) with
all the spirit and dash which has made it so pre-eminently a
fa'vourite, and:also with that subdued grace effective in the
softer scenes. The songs were encored. by, the audience with
equal enthusiasm to that of its earlier representations, and,
itulad:in—siVeWrinstanceS, efinceda desire for a third call.
MissiLouisailplyne, as Blvird (the' Role of Castillo, and the
Peasant Maid), more charmingly than ever- enchanted her
auditors with the beauty of her singing, ;arid in the celebrated
ballad of the "Convent Cell," &c., was enthusia.slically
called upon for repetitions. Miss Thirlwall played the part
of Donna Carmen (made highly popular by Miss Susan
Pyne), and sang the music -with tolerable effect. The plot-
ting Don Pedro was effectively taken by Mr. H. Corri; and
in the "Song, "Though Fortune Darkly o'er me FroWn," the
encore was universal. Mr. Honey, as usual, draw largely
upon the risible faculties of his audience, and " Why did
you not say so at first?" invariably bringing the round of
applause.. -"Altogether' we think this visit of the company
has proved satisfactory to " all concerned," and many will
look upon the closing performances of Saturday evening with
pleasure. At the conclusion of the piece, Miss Pyne and
Mr. Harrison were called before the curtain, and imme-
diately upon their appearance, the large audience, as with
one accord, arose,- and greeted them with loud cheers and
other demonstrations of satifsaction. Mr. Honey was also
specially called for.
