THE NORTHERN TIMES TUESDA\, MARCH 22, 1859

Fillippo Agresti, 63, military; Pietro Mazella, 56, lawyer ;
Luigi Parenti, 39, gentlemen. On alighting from the train;
the party were conducted by Mr. Hodge to one of the
refreshment saloons, where they partook of refreshments,
several ladies attending to their wants: At the conclusion
of the repast, Mr. Hodge presented an address to the
exiles, prefaeing it with a few *orcts of warrn greeting,
and intimating that the reception which awaited them in
London would be a spontaneous outburst of generous sympa-
thy, and haie no reference to questions of party, or shades
of political-opinion. After some speechifying, the Italians
in the crowd rushed forward and embraced and kissed
their exiled countrymen in the most affectionate manner.
It seemed impossible for them to restrain their joy; and
when the dabs were drawn up to convey the exiles away,
the latter were lifted almost bodily from the steps
to the vehicles. The harness of the horses was dressed
with laurels, and the exiles were precedea by an Italia❑
band of music, who played various national airs. Banners
and the Union Jack were carried in advance ; on one of the
banners were the words, " Exiles !—Welcome to free
England ;" on another, " The Unity and Independence of
Italy," The procession moved through the streets at a
slow pace, and at various stages there were repeated
manifestations of popular sympathy. The route taken was
the Edgeware-road, Oxford-street, Regent-street, Coventry-
street, to the Union Hotel, Cranbourn-street, Leicester-
square, where they received an ovation. They were after-
wards, it was understood, to repair to an hotel in Arlington-
street.

POLITICAL INCIDENT. - According to the New Gazette of
Prussia, a political incident occurred at 'Nassau, on the
occasion of the baptism of the infant prince. At a grand
dinner at the Palace, after the ceremony, the Archduke
Stephen, who had represented the Emperor of Austria as
one of the godfathers, proposed a toast to the young prince ;
and the Duke of Nassau, rising, expressed his sense of the
honour done him, and declared that " if a political storm
arose, he would prove his gratitude to the imperial family
of Austria bydefending.it to his last man !"
We understand that a grand reception has been prepared
*for the Neapolitan refugees, who will arrive at the Pad-
dington station of the Great Western Railway to-day at
half-past eleven o'clock. Several carriages have been
engaged, which will proceed in processian through the
metropolis, their occupants carrying flags, banners, &c.,
to the destination of the exiles. We have elsewhere
recorded the .warm greeting- those .noble men ex-
perienced on landing at Bristol; and We doubt not- that
their appearance on the platform at Paddington will be the
signal for a display of enthusiasm and sympathy rivalling,
if not exceeding, that given to them when they first set
foot on:the hospitable shores of England.—London Paper.

LIBERALITY OF THE PRINCE REGENT OF PRUSSIA.—
We learn, from an authentic source, that his Royal High
ness the Prince Regent of Prussia has lately conferred upon
Mr. Raphael Picciotto, the Prussian Consul at Aleppo, a
decoration of the Order of the Red Eagle, with a flattering
letter, in recognition of the services rendered by him
during a long tenure of his office. That gentleman is the
same who, some years since, was also honoured by the
Emperor of Russia with a decoration of the Order of St.
Anne, with the Emperor's portrait set in diamonds, as an
acknowledgment of the services rendered by him in rescuing
and saving the lives of the Greek bishop, and other Chris-
tians from the fury of a Mussulman mob, on the occasion
of a fanatical outbreak which took place at Aleppo. We
are glad to recognise in this event another expression of
the liberality of the Prince Regent towards Jewish merit. --
