The Nassau Gazette of the 26th ult., states, that
apartments have been engaged at Wiesbaden for the
Count DE CHAMBORD and that he is expected there

The Engli-h congregation at Wiesbaden hare just
presented to their chaplain, the Rev. J. A. LEICESTER,
A.M., an edition of Scott's " Commentary on the
splendidly bound, and upwards of thirty
volumes of the best theological works, as a mark of
the high sense they entertain of the zeal and efficiency
with which he has discharged his duties for the two
years that he has been their minister. The junior
members of the congregation, grateful for Mr. LEI-
CESTER'S unceasing exertions for their religions in-
struction, have also spontaneously subscribed to offer
the Reverend Gentleman a token of remembrance
upon his resigning the chaplaincy.

The Swiss journal, the Bund, asserts that the ac-
count given of the signing of the protocols in Lon-
don relative to Switzerland is incorrect. This journal
pretends to know that the* great powers have not
recognised the rights of Prussia over Neufchatel to
the extent implied in the accounts in question.

SIR HARRY SMITH AT PORTSMOUTH.
PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 1.-A second address has been
presented to-day to Lieutenant-General Sir Harry;Smith.
That presented yesterday was from the corporation; the
one presented to-day aas adopted at a large meeting of
the inhabitants of the borough generally. It was pre-
sented by the Mayor in the Guildhall, a large number of
people being present. Is was as follows:-
" To Lieut.-General Sir Harry Smith, Bart.
" Gallant Sir,-The inhabitants of the borough of
Portsmouth approach you with their warmest congratu-
lations on your safe return to England after a service of
unequalled difficulty, which, by a rare combination of
political sagacity and military valour, you have brought
apParently to a successful termination. It was
with feelings of great confileace in your abi-
lity for that arduous undertaking that they addressed
you in 1847, on your departure from this port for
South Africa, to assure you of the sympathy and ad-
miration with which they regarded you; and they now
welcome you most heartily on your return home from
that harassing service, and congratulate you on the sub-
jugation of that desperate horde of savages, who had ao
long carried on their desolating warfare against her
Majesty's subjects in those parts. And now, gallant
sir, in conclusion, we express a fervent hope that the
same Almighty power that has hitherto protected you
in so many and varied dangers, may still be vouchsafed
to you in your honourable retirement, regarded as you
ever will be by your fellow-countrymen as one of Eng-
land's brightest ornaments and bravest defenders."
The Mayoa, is presenting tho above address to Sir
Harry, said he did so with the greatest pleasure. It had
been agreed to unanimously at a meeting of the inhabi-
tants, who desired to empress their sympathy with a
brave and gallaut officer, who had been withdrawn at the
moment of victory from the scene of his triumph.
Sir Hanear SMITH, in returning thanks, said he did
so with every feeling of a grateful heart. He had many
years since embarked at Portsmouth on the first cam-
paign he had ever been engaged in, when he was not
only unknown to the world, but to himself. For no youth
r 3 aware of the latent qualities he might hereafter
elsplay, and if he (Sir Harry) had, in his long eventful
b'ereeer, done anything to deserve the encomiums that had
that
