The Prince and Princess of Wales.

The Prince of Wales rode on horseback yesterday
morning, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Keppel.

The Prince and Princess of Wales drove to KeVf
in the afternoon, and visited her Royal Highness
the Duchess of Cambridge.
SANDRINGHAM, March 31.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales, with the infant Prince Albert Victor, are
expected to arrive here to-morrow afternoon.
Considerable alterations have been made here since
their highnesses left Sandringham, which now
begins to assume tin appearance befitting a residence
of royalty. The "Norwich gates" have been fixed
at the Dersingham entrance of the park, at the end
of the splendid avenue of lines, and present a very
imposing aspect. On either side of the gates will
be placed some very tasteful corresponding tracery,
and each pedestal is surmounted with the Rose,
Shamrock, and Thistle.
The beautiful residence of Lieut.- General Knollys
approaches completion. The house will, unfortu-
nately, not be ready till September, but considerable
additional accommodation has been provided by the
erection of what is called "The Bachelor's Cottage,'
the residence for the equerries in the park, and the
construction of sleeping apartments over the new
stabling, a portion of which is still uncompleted.
The royal stables have been considerably enlarged
and beautified according to the plans of Mr. Hum-
bert, the architect to the Prince of Wales. •

Col. Crawley and Sergeant-Major Wakefield,

Many of the circumstances connected with the
Management by Lieut.-Col. Crawley of the 6th In.
niekilling Dragoots will be brought under the
notice of the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of
toramon Pleas in the course of the forthcoming
term, which will commence on Friday, the 15th
Hut- The plaintiff in the case is Sergeant-Major
Wakefield, and the defendant Lieut.-Col. Crawley.
The proceedings out of which the action arose are
those which were immediately identified with the
?lime, court-martial, and of which much was said
In the early stages of the court-martial on Lieut.-
Co!, Crawley at Aldershot. Lieutenant-Colonel
Crawley was appointed early in 1861 to the com-
mand of the luniskilting Dragoons, then stationed
at Amednuggur, in the Dewar. He introduced
Some changes into the regiment, which soon became
broken up into hostile cliques. In ICSB than a year
from the time Lieut.-Colonel Crawley assumed the
command Paymaster Smales was brought once be-
fore a court of inquiry and once before a court.
At the latter trial, known as the Meow
court-martial, three non-commissioned officers who
Were to have given evidence were arrested by order
of Colonel Crawley and kept in close coufinment.
r„-bey Were Regimental Sergeant Major Lilley,
Troop Sergeant Major Duval, and Troop Ser-
geant Major Wakefield. The first of these died,
tind the latter is the plaintiff in the present
action. The action is brought by the plaintiff
against his late commanding officer for trespass
in causing him to be arrested and confined on
charge of insubordination, the second count alleg-
ing that the defendant caused the plaintiff to be so
arrested maliciously and without any reasonable or
Probable cause; and the third alleges that while the
Plaintiff was so under arrest, without reasonable or
probable cause, the defendant, by false representa-
tlooB, induced Major-General Farrell, commanding
the Mhow division, and Sir William Mansfield,
Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay army, to
aPprove of the arrest, and to order the plaintiff
t(3. be detained in prison, without bringing
101 before a court-martial, as he was bound
to do under the Mutiny Act. The plaintiff lays
Ilia damages at £6,000. To this declaration
Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley has pleaded :-
1. The general issue of "not guilty" to the whole of
the counts, under the Mutiny Acts. To the count
on trespass he has pleaded a justification, to the
effect that the plaintiff had been guilty of gross
Misconduct, of insubordination, and in other re.
Pests of breaches of military discipline ; further, that
the defendant was justified as commanding officer
In causing the plaintiff to be arrested and impri
loned. 2. That the defendant was justified in de-
taining the plaintiff in prison under and by virtue
91- the command of his superior officer, the command-
lirlg officer of the district (Major-General Farrell).
In thev3d place, Lieut.-Colonel Crawley pleads
atefication in detaining and continuing
the plaintiff in prison in virtue of the command of
General Sir William Mansfield, who was in com-
mand of the Bombay division of the army. To
Jtan Pleas the plaintiff has replied, taking issue on
Lieutenant-Colonel
as to matters of fact, and furtber assigns that
ci4ieutenant-Colonel Crawley kept him in solitary
a"nernent, and on several occasions after his
hrrest and without reasonable cause punished
11112. To this part of the replication Lieu-
tenant Crawley has demurred, and has also
ilideatlerl a special rejoinder that what he
in causing the plaintiff to be arrested
1,„-" continued in imprisonment was done
la fide in the discharge of his duties as cora-
:"anding officer, and that if he did so wrongly it was
;II error and was not done maliciously, inasmuch
be had acted throughout with a simple desire to
?hold and maintain the discipline of the service.
P(2'l this issue has been joined. The demurrer is
Set down for argument by the full court early in
Eastern term, and the cause itself will be heard by
aetord Chief Justice Erle at the sittings at Guildhall
Qtter Trinity term. Mr. Lush, Q.C., Mr. Hawkins,
f C., and Mr. Prideeux are the counsel engagt d
az' •the plaintiff. Lieut.-Col. Crawley will be re-
Presented by Mr. M. Cumbers, Q,C., and Mr.
Nance.

AZ ABDUL'S POST.—Luckily for the Prne•
sians, says a letter from Dappel, the steeple of a
church in the neighbourhood of the works has not
been struck by the Danish guns, On the top of
its lofty spire is erected a volunteer observatory,
whence the fortification as well as a large expanse
of the sea can be accurately snrveyed. For this ser-
vice the Prussians arc indebted to Capt. Carlson, an aged
gentleman from Altona, who, having spent all his life on the
Baltic, is intimately acquainted with the coast,and has offered
his assistance for the purpose. Suspending himself imme-
diately beneath the cross, ho will hold out for 8 hours run-
ning in his haz trdous position. Spying in every direction,
he regularly communicates his observations to a secretary
lying at his feet on a board projecting from the base of the
steeple. His despatches are, by no means of the electric
telegraph, immediately conveyed to head-quarters,
as well as to the various batteries, and to a
number of assistants distributed along the coast.
" Rolf Brake, leaves Als Sund, steers for Gammelmark."
" Fire from two guns of Redoubt No. 6." " One com-
pany comes out of Redoubt No. 5, goes to Easter Dup-
pel." " Duppel mill burns, &c." Such is the character
of his laconic but important despatches. Besides his tele-
graphic connection with the various Prussian works, and
the branch establishments along the shore, he has always
horsemen and conveyances waiting at the church door to
carry the messages, or sometimes limed, when he thinks
it necessary he should go himse It.
GARIBALDL—GIBRALTAR, Tuesday.—The mail
