RAPIDITY OF STEAM CONVEYANCE.--TO make
a voyage from England to Portugal, and back again to Eng.
land, in the course of six days, will be thought by many alto-
gether impracticable. It is, however, now quite easy of ac-
complishment. As an instance, the Iberia steamer, belonging
to the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company, took passen-
gers on board at Falmouth on tho 22d May, and in 66 hours
landed them at Oporto. The Brayanza steamer, belonging
to the same Company, called at Oporto and brought home
letters from the Iberia's passengers advising their arrival, and
consequently might have brought dome any of the passengers
themselves. The Braganza arrived at Falmouth on the 28th
May in 70 hours; thus making just 136 hours, or something
less than six days, from the time the passengers embarked un-
til news of their arrival was received is England.

The arrival of the Princess was announced for thr.su,

still no sign ; half-past four, and the troops of the gamble
and the artillery, and National Guard, are ranged in cletios,

sembled in the grand suite of apartments, and crowded the

Royal Princess is announced by two couriers, and imelo
diately the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours entered 711
court-yard. Both Princes were in the dresses of gene
officers, and looked remarkably well. up
According to the programme, which has been dreg' of
with much care, the Prince was to have taken a quarter of
an hour's precedence of the Princess, but the townrej
Melun decided it otherwise. The voyageuse was c'ffeilie

surrounded by his sons, was standing upon the loftY,,et.
