A St. Petersburg letter says—"
The marriage of
Prince Nicholas Petrowich, eldest of the house of
Oldenburg, has produced a great sensation in this
capital. The Prince, who is only 23 years of age,
and Colonel of a Russian regiment of Hussars in
garrison at Chartow, decided on the marriage with-
out consulting anyone, and the wedding took place
in a small village,
in presence of only two officers of
his regiment. He then proceeded to Odessa en a
leave of absence which he had previously obtained,
and thence to Germany, to present his young wife
to his family. The Emperor Alexander was not
pleased with this conduct of the Prince."

ROYAL PORTRAITS.

H.R.H• DIE PRINCE OF WALES.
H.R.H. DIE PRINCESS ALICE.
H.B.H. TIE PRINCE LOUIS OF HESSE.

Photographed by Messrs. John and Chas. Watkins.
Published by Messrs. A. Marion and Co., 23,

Soho-square.
Although we have before now seen many bril-
liantly successful photographs of one or another of
their Royal Highnesses, we do not scruple to pro.
nounce three that have very recently made their
appearance from the establishment of Messrs.
pc portraitures yet pub-

mil
sohs
et
ds a
ot ifs ftahcet o rt
by r pe
e m
hot oegmr aber hsi of the Royal Family
whom these pictures respectively represent. They
are the " most" satisfactory, to our thinking, more-
over, if examined from two points of view—now
simply as specimens of the photographic art at this
its highest stage of advance towards perfection, now
solely and exclusively as likenesses, as fac similes
from the life l All three are evidences of the skill
of Messrs. John and Charles Watkins, the eminent
photographers of Parliament-street, Westminster
—having been produced by them from sittings
obtained in one of the noble conservatories
attached to Buckingham Palace. His Royal High-
ness the Heir Apparent is represented by one of
these photographs. Her Royal Highness the
Princess Alice by another. His Royal Highness
the Prince Louis of Hesse, her Majesty's second
son-in-law, by the third. The last mentioned,
we should conjecture, must, however good
he may prove to be, and doubtless will prove
to be, as a Ruler, decidedly bad as a Sub-
ject—for a photographer. Yet even in this in-
stance the result is, we hesitate not to
assert, distinctly and, even in a very high
degree,
satisfactory. The most satisfactory, however, among
the three, both as a likeness and as a photograph, is
the one of the fair young wife of Prince Louis,
H.R.H. the Princess Alice. Hardly less so being
the photographic portraiture of the Prince of Wales
in his private capacity, or—if that phrase, in his
instance, be at no time distinctly applicable—in
his individual capacity—not as a Soldier, as a Stu-
dent, as a Peer of Parliament, even, be it said, as
Heir to the Crown of England, but as the very
Prince of English Gentlemen.

CLERICAL POLITENESS.—A
Journal affirms that the writer in the Ipswich.
Rev. Mr. Synge, incumbent
of St. Peter's, Ipswich, haii introduced a novelty into the
church. When he reads the churching service for a poor
man's wife, he repeats, of course, " L-rd, save this woman,
thy servant 1" but, if the petitioner belongs to a better class,
he change§ it into "Lord, saw glili 441"

GREECE.

The Nord, in reference to the recent disturbances
in Athens, states that some discussion has arisen on
the question whether it would not be expedient on
the part of the Esropean Powers to send a Plenipo-
tentiary to Greece charged with the task of re-
pressing severely all the germs of rebellion in that
country, consequent on the crisis through which
it is passing. This envoy would clear away many
elements of disorder, and leave to the young King
only the initiative of liberal measures, of which he
would have the credit without incurring the danger.

BELGIUM*
The Conference by which the question of the
rolls of the Scheldt is to be arranged will hold its
first meeting te-morrow (16th) at the Belgian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A letter from Brus
sels states that a singular difficulty has been raised
by the Government of Rome. The Minister of the
Pope insists absolutely on paying a larger indem-
nity than the sum demanded, on the ground that
Rome must pay on account of the seaports once be-
longing
to the Papal territory, but now annexed to
the kingdom of Italy. But Belgium, having recog-
nised the new kingdom, cannot assent to the
curiously generous offer of the Roman Government,
and it is reported that the Papal Nun,.io has re-
ceived instructions to take no part in the conference
if that offer is not accepted.

SWITZERLAND.
A communication from Berne says i--'"rhe two
Chambers of the Swiss Parliament met here for their
property, recently adopted in
ordinary session, on the day that the Grand Council
of the canton of Berne terminated its session, during
the Bernese Jura. The depu-
ties the principal question discussed was whether
the tax on p rsonal

to the new portion,
Presented a note to the Presi

of constitutionality should have been decided by the
federal authority. After a short discussion on this
note, the Council authorised the President, Colonel
Kurz, to address a letter to the Jura deputies ex-
pressing regret at the. r
.decision, and the hope that
they will not persist in It.

put to, and the Princess of Wales and the Prim
cess Mary drove slowly towards the Prince's
pavilion. The Prince of Wales now also
left the field, and joined the Princess„
After a short interval their Royal Highnesses
drove back to Farnborough station,whence tht,,Prince
and Princess of Wales proceeded by special train to
Windsor, and the Princess Mary and the Duke of
Cambridge returned to London.
The troops soon afterwards marched back to bar-
racks, the bands of each regiment playing their
liveliest tunes to lighten the march to the jaded
men.

Mr.Coxwell's small balloon was inflated, and kept
in mid air during the whole day, in order to allow
of sketches being taken by two officers from this
elevated position, and also to test the real advan-
tage to be derived from aerostatic aid on the battle
field.

Unfortunately we are obliged to close this account
by stating that some casualties occurred during the
day, and that an unfortunate sergeant, named Casey,
of the 87th Regiment, fell dead while advancing
with his regiment in the morning to take up their
allotted ground.
There were not many spectators to keep within

bounds, but hero and there on the loftiest hills
overlooking the ground groups of people were sta-
tionary during the day, perhaps more anxiously
sighing for a cooling breeze than intently regarding
the grand spectacle below them. Occasionally on
the hill tops a refreshing wind swept past, but in
the valleys below there was a constant sirocco-like
glow of heat, from which man and horse alike suf-
fered severely. The day, however, was undeniably
fine, and Aldershot witnessed one of the grandest
field-days ever known since the formation of the
camp.

BELGIUM.

The Conference by which the question of the
(oils of the Scheldt is to be arranged will hold its
first meeting
to-morrow (16th) at the Belgian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A letter from Brus
sels states that a singular difficulty has been raised
by the Government of Rome. The Minister of the
Pope insists absolutely on paying a larger indem-
nity than the sam demanded, on the ground that
Rome must pay on account of the seaports once be-
longing to the Papal territory, but now annexed to
the kingdom of Italy. But Belgium, having recog-
nised the new kingdom, cannot assent to the
curiously generous offer of the Roman Government,
and it is reported that the Papal Nuthio has re-
ceived instructions to take no part is the conference
if that offer is not accepted.

SWITZERLAND.
A communication from Berne says :—" The two
Chambers of the Swiss Parliament met here for their
ordinary session, on the day that the Grand Council
of the canton of Berne terminated its session, during
which the principal question discussed was whether
the tax on p rsonal property, recently adopted in
the old portion of the canton, should be also applied
to the new portion, the Bernese Jura. The depu-
ties of the Jura contended that the tax could not be
imposed there without violating the Constitution of
1846, but the Council decided to the contrary by a
majority of 93 to 57. After that vote, M. Girard,
Deputy of Val de St. Imier, and thirty-six others
of the Jura districts, presented a note to the Presi
dent declaring their intention to take no further part
in the deliberatious of the Council till the question
of constitutionality should have been decided by the
federal authority. After a short discussion on this
note, the Council authorised the President, Colonel
Kurz, to address a letter to the Jura deputies ex-
pressing regret at their decision, and the hope that
they will not persist in it."

THE INDIAN COUNCIL.

Mr. A. MILLS prozeeded to call attention to the consti-
tution of the Secretary of State for India, and to move an
address to the Crown for the appointment of a Royal com-
mission to inquire and report whether any and what altera-
tions might be advantageously adopted in the Home Go-
vernment of India, as constituted by the act 21 and 22 Vic.,
c. 106. He would assume that the Government had acted
right with regard to the amalgamation of the Indian army
with the Imperial forces, but still that very act proved the
impotency of the Indian Council, all the members of which
were opposed to amalgamation. The noble lord at the head
of the Government bad moved a clause the object of which
was to make it not only optional, but incumbent on Parlia-
ment to reconsider the constitution of the Council, and this
view was supported at the time by Lord Russell, Mr, Wilson
then a member of that house), Mr. Bright, and many other
members who had given special attention to Indian ques-
tions. The Secretary of State for India might separate himself
from his couiecil whenever he pleased and reject the counsel
of the men appointed to advise him ; and, while he acted
upon his own responsibility, neither Parliament nor ,the
c,,untiy knew anything about what ho was doing. He would
not suggest any remedy for what he deemed to be a great
evil in the system of administering the affairs of India ; but
would simply ask the house and the Government to do what
the noble lord at the head of the Government had said at
the time the measure for the appointment of the Indian
Council was under discussion, namely, that after the lapse
of five years it would be incumbent upon Parliament to re-
consider the matter,
Mr, BAZLEY seconded the motion. it appeared to him,

INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE.

In reply to Mr. VANSITTART,
Sir C. WOOD said he was quite aware that complaints
existed of promotions not being as rapid amongst the civil
servants of the North-Western Province of India as it waa
in Bengal, but the matter was one with which the Home
Government did not interfere, as all appointments were
made by the Governor-General and lieutenant-governor of
the province.
NAVAL OFFICERS ON FOREIGN STATIONS.
Lord NAAS asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether orders would be issued to naval officers on foreign
stations, forbidding them to attack the ports or ships of
friendly powers without a declaration of war or distinct in-
structions from the Home Government. He asked the ques-
tion, in consequence of what was stated to have taken place
at Tringanu.

Lord C. PAGET said instructions were given to our naval
officers generally not to engage in hostilities, or have re-
course to violence, without the sanction of their superior
officers. And the officers at Tringanu had received positive
instructions not to engage in any hostilities without the
sanction of the Governor-General of India or the Governor
of Bombay.
THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE INDIAN

ARMY.
In reply to Mr. CONINGIIAM,

Sir C. WOOD said that already certain improvements had
been introduced into the arrangements for preserving tl;9
health of our Indian army, and that still more effective me -
sures remained to be taken in pursuance of the recommen-
dations of the sanitary commision.
THE CHANNEL FLEET.
Sir H. BRUCE asked whether the Channel fleet would
be permitted to anchor for a few days in Loch Foyle during
their cruise this summer.

Lord C. FAUET said that the magnificent Channel
squadron, as he might justly designate it, consisting as it
did of five iron plates, was now in progress round the north
of Scotland ; and he hoped it would touch at the principal
ports, weather permitting, as the admiral had discretion to
do so. So possibly the port alluded to by the hon, baronet
would receive a visit.

THE CHURCH BUILDING AND NEW PARISHES
ACT AMENDMENT BILL.

In reply to Mr. HADFIELD,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was understood to se
that the Government did not intend to proceed with t is
bill, but in moving the discharge of the order he would
make a statement on the subject.
IRISH LAW AND EQUITY COMMISSION.'
In reply to Mr. LONGFIELD,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the report of the
Irish Law and Equity Commissioners could be laid upon
the table before the end of next week.
