Prince Albert Victor.

Her 111jcsty'e Alp Salamis, having on board the
infant Prince Albert Victor, arrived in the Humber
from Cuxhaven on Sunday afternoon. The Corpora'
tion Pier and its approaches were crowded with
persons anxicus to show respect, and not a feW
hoping to see the babe who may hereafter fill the
throne of England. About mid-day, as there has
no sign of the Salamis approaching, the crowd
gradually dispersed to their homes. Between one
and two o'clock the pier was again crowded, when
suddenly a cry was raised that the steamer was al'
proaching, and every eye was immediately turned
towards the object which had occasioned this re'
mark. On being sighted her Majesty's ship Daunt.
less was immediately decked out with flags, and a
message was sent to the mayor informing him
.of
the arrival of the Royal infant. His wort:3110
wearing his robes of efflce, soon made his appear"
arse on the pier, and accompanied by the sheriff,
(Mr E. J. Davis) Mr C. Good, the Danish Consul,
Captain Cater, R.N., Messrs. Aldermen Bannister
and Abbey, together with the town clerk, proceeded
on board the Lady Loedesborough, which was
lying alongside the wharf, Some of the councillors
of the borough followed, and the party then in'
eluded, besides the gentlemen already named, Earl
de Grey and Ripon, who arrived in Hull on Sun'
-day morning; Mr Norton, the Queen's messenger,
and many of the inhabitants. When the Lady'
Tiondesborough sailed from the Corporation Pier to
meet the Salamis, the whole, or at least the ma'
jority, of the councillors who were'under the ire.'
pression that they should see the prince. They were
however doomed to disappointment. Ile Salamis
having steamed up the Humber anchored a short
distance above where the Dauntless is lying. The
Lady Londesboongh reaching the Salamis, Earl de
Grey and Ripon, the Queen's messenger, the Alayor
and Sheriff of Hull, together with the Danish Con-
sul, the town clerk, and the nurse's husband, wept
on beard. Earl de Grey having consulted, with
the countess, who had charge of the royal infant
during the passage, informed the authorities of
Hull that Prince Albert Victor would remain on
board during the night, but would be brought on
shore next morning at half-past eight o'clock, land'
ing on the Corporation Pier, from whence he, with
his attendants, would proceed in carriages to the
railway station, where a special train would be pro"
vided to convey him to Scotland. Subsequently
the Lady Londesborough was steered to the shore,
and on arriving at the hotel the Mayor, from oas
of the windows, informed the multitude who bad
assembled in Nelson-street that the prince would
land on the Corporation Pier at half-past eight
o'clock on Monday morning. His worship then
requested that the councillors would meet him at
that hotel in the morning and accompany him to
the Corporation Pier.

INSTRUCTION OF AGRICULTURAL • PRODUCE IN
NOTTS.—One of the most destructive fires which
have taken place for several years occurred on Saturday last
at the Rectory Farm, Barton-fields, six or seven miles frota
Nottingham. The farm is in the occupation o.t Air Red'
fern, surgeon, of Gotham, and is situate in a valley about
midway between that village and Barton. The Jarnestead,
comprising the stackyard and buildings, covers arr area 01
tour or five acres. A small two-storied house, close to the
stackyard, and occupied by a man named Towers, is the 011131;
dwelling on the farm. On Saturday labourers were engsg6'
thrashing barley with a steam engine and machine. Tile
engine was placed at the western end of the stackyard, be.
tween two barley stacks not more than ten yards apart
Just after dinner, while the workmen were resting, Smith'
the engineman, who lay upon some litter near the machine,
was startled by a crackling noise, and on getting up to ex°
what was the matter discovered that the loose straw under
the engine was on fire. The stacks on either side of tll.°
thrashing machine were soon in a blaze, and the wind blow'
ing westwardly the fire extended to the other stacks with
great rapidity. By the time the fire engines reached tbo
farm the stackyard was almost entirely surrounded with
flames. The thrashing machine, as well as the stacks, vi'ss
burnt, and altogether Id stacks, as also the farm buildings
were consumed, the loss being estkoated at nearly 43,000,
part of which is itisurtd.

E AL AND,

We take the following from the Melbourne Argus
01 Aug. 15
Our latest news of the war is that there is a possibility
ofpeace, but there is little to justify the formation of any
ltite opinion on the subject. The past month has added
Ltd little to the narrative of events which will in the end
fotea
one of the meat important epochs in the history of
hem
Zealand. The Constance, which left Auckland for
further
on July 14, brought us word that there were no
111rther movements by the rebels, who were said to be suffer-
!aft from want of food. Wi Kingi and party were reported
to be in the Taranaki district, and the garrison there was
toIlbled• A number of the Waikatos were endeavouring
stir up the Hawke's-bay natives to join the King party,
!led a party of Arawa chiefs visit d the Governor at
—ellehl4rl4 250 Poverty-bay natives were reported as
about t) join the rebels. 'rho only change in our move-
tnenfo was the abandonment of Meremere redoubt, and the
removal of a portion of the artillery to, Sydney. A few days
after the receipt cf the above news, the Xenthe brought
Auckland papers down to the 25th July. From them we
learnt that the rebel natives were disheartened—without
e.lething, tobacco, and almost without food ; yet there was
70 talk of surrender. They were intensely suspicious of the
Colonial Government's intentions ; and hoped after all that
the Imperial Government would step in and screen them.
111-0 Ile, ald's correspondent wrote that no one believed the
Ministry would abate one jot of their plans for the permanent
*llljugation of the country. No one had any confidence in
Governor Grey, and he might interpose difficulties, but it
'Wase believed, if he should do so, that the Ministry would in-
st an an immediate summons of Parliament. The natives
In the north were very quiet, but some think that might arise
from no one saying anything to them about obeying the law.
The Work of military settlement was going on slowly but
steadilY. There was but scanty intelligence of the rebels.
Bing and his party had seceded from the Menlo-
Poto tribe, and gone towards Taranaki ; but where Rewi
sad the Manipotos were no one knew. It was possible that
they had saved some corn and potatoes, and gone to plant
a" Bow in the distant fastnesses. If not, the war can hardly
,
expected to last many months longe,r. It was rumoured
that on Gen. Galloway's visit to Maungatutori the militia
refused to turn out on parade, on account of the badness
*ad insufficiency of their rations, and the ringleaders were
arrested and confined. Our last news, down to the let of
'lagUst is far more cheering. We were by that informed
that 150 leading men of the rebels had already signed a de-
claration of allegiance. A great change of feeling was evi-
dent among them, and the crisis being supposed to have
passed, signs of peace were perceptible, Governor Grey
sad Gen. Cameron had sailed for Tauranga, to receive the
formal submission of the east coast natives ;and it is stated
thaf
`I
" na. Thompson was desirous of surrendering, if he
4111t1 first have a short korero' with his Excellency the
Governor, to satisfy his mind up .n a few points which have
teen troubling him for some time. He is said to have quite
recovered from the serious illness from which he has been
Inflating for some time past, and now to be thoroughly alive
to the advisability of submitting to the Queen's authority,
provided he can do this with good grace, and make his sub-
tiesiert pass over with eclat before a real live Governor.
ronl the
camp up the Waikato no news has come to hand
,of the presence of rebels in their vicinity having been
-etieed ; and it may be reasonably expected that the Maories
their remaining in these districts are too busy attending to
cultivation to give our troops much occupation at
present,,,

The capital afloat in the Money Market has re-
,e,ll!ed a very large addition from the dividends,
ich are now in course of distribution. The large
Wander,
that has takes place is not a matter of
"'ander, if the high rates of interest paid for tem-
porary loans by discounters are taken into conside-
411°n. Bankers have therefore, for the moment,
, Icre money than they can fully employ, and they
Pe consEquently shown more disposition to loan
out On short dated paper than they did yesterday
441 the day before. The inquiry, in fact, has not
4t pace with the increased supply, and best corn.
