The Prince and Princess of Wales.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, having returned
to Frogmore House after their fij ing visits to Wim-
bledon and Aldershot, are renewing their drives
and excursions in the neighbourhood of Windsor
and the Great Park.

Yesterday the Prince of Wales, accompanied by
the Princess and attended by their suite, drove in a
pony phaeton to Virginia, Water. Their Roy4l
H.ghnesses left Frogmore about five o'clock, and
proceeded down the Long Walk on their way to
the above favourite locality, where they dined and
afterwards returned to Frogmore.

His Royai Highness the Dake of Cambridge
intends, after the prorogation of Parliament, to leave town

Longley have left Lambeth Palace for Addington Park,

The Earl and Countess Spencer left Spencer
House, St James's, yesterday, for Cowes, Isle of Wight.
The noble earl and countess will not leave the island until
the Goodwood races. The health of the earl is so satisfac
tory that in all probability he will go to Althorp Hall for
the autumn, instead of to the Contirent, as was thought a
few weeks since.

The Emperor of Austria and Riug of Prussia,
it should be remembered, are to meet now in a very few days
at Carlsbad.

MR. KEAN IN A NEW CHARACTER.—Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Kean departed by the Champion of the Seas,
from Liverpool, on a professional tour through our Southern
dependencies. As no clergyman happened to have taken
his passage by that vessel, the eminent tragedian was pre-
vailed upon to read Divine service during the voyage. He
stipulated that he was not to be called upon to marry,
christen, or bury any of his fellow-passengers during the
transit. He declined to relieve the captain of this portion
of his official duties.—Corly Taper.

ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION, 14, Regent-
street, Waterloo-plaee.—Mr. and Mrs. German
Reed's new entertainment is enjoying a very prosperous
career and attracts very fashionable audiences. These
clever artists are quite " at home" in their " Charming Cot-
tage." Out of the simplest of plots, they contrive to excite
a lively and continued interest. Each impersonation, in•
deed, has its special attraction, success depending more
upon the ability of the performer than upon a sequence of
incidents arranged for dramatic dr,- ct. We understand
there will be other visitors at the " Charming Cottage" next
Menday, the Sisters Pry having been prevailed upon to call
at Windsor as they formerly came to Richmond. We have
little doubt these celebrated " Old Maids" will make them-
selves as agreeable in the one place as the other. Mr.
Parry's description of "Mrs. Roseleaf's Little Evening
Party," which he had the honour of giving before the Prince
and Princess of Wales, at the mansion of the Lord Cham-
berlain, continues to amuse the frequenters 4,f the Gallery.
We hear that, at the close of their season, Mr. and Mrs.
Reed contemplate a tour round the South coast.
PROPORTION OF CAVALRY TO INFANTRY.--
Napoleon laid it down as an axiom, that cavalry
should be to infantry as 1 to 4, giving however to France
only 1 to 5, on account of the mountainous nature of some
of its districts. To Italy the same great authority assigns
only Ito 13. This last statement completely upsets the de-
ductions of those critics who base on the small use made of
cavalry in the late camp Livia in rugged, intersected Lom-
bardy their opinion that this arm has lost its importance in
war. Dr. Roemer says that the only real cavalry combat in
that campaign took place at Solterino. From this one
would be led to inter that only on that occasion did the
cavalry take an important part. He is in error. It was of
great service at Montebello, where eight squadrons of Pied-
montese cavalry by repeated charges delayed the advance of
Stadion till Foray could come up.
FRENCH AND ENGLISH PLEASURE SEEKERS.
Speaking about excursion trains, yesterda), a
famous railway director told me that in his opinion it
would be a long time before the French would travel a long
distat.ce for pleasure. English people will do the most
eccentric and uncomfortable things, out of which they get
an amount of enjoyment and happiness which no other
people in the world c uld realise. I cannot imagine a dozen
Frenchmen in all Pat being persuaded to go to Dover,
land, and return to Paris six hours after, weary and sea-
sick. Yet English artisans will leave London and visit
Boulogne under such circumstances. I myself witnessed
an arrival of pale intelligent-looking Londoners at Boulogne,
who had come over on an excursion occasion. On landing
from a rough sea, a determined rain set in, ani nothing
could be more gloomy than Boulogne and its associations
that day. The excursionists broke up into groups and stood
under windy doorways, laughed, joked, and got fun out of
this dreary damp misfortune. They got something to eat
at a very high price, bought a bottle of cheap brandy (which
is made from imported English spirits), and embarked again
on a rough sea for their native London. The bare narrative
of that excursion told to a Frenchman would shut up all
ideas of the repetition of such a trip in this country. How
are the French amusing themselves to-day? They are not
going far off. If you stroll down to the Havre Railway
station at any morning hour you will find hundreds of really
well-dressed people, with a large proportion of the fair sex,
and some mothers with the whole family (generally at most
two children, atter years of matrimonial felicity), taking
their places for one of the many pleasure gardens on the
banks of the Seine, within 20 minutes' railway of the capi-
tal. They will dine according to their means, for they knew
exactly how and when to spend their money ; they will
throw themselves on the grass and watch the cano!iers and
canotieree—for am.,ngst the equipage are sometimes ladies.
Later, the Parisian Cockney will assist at music and danc-
ing; and by 11 o'clock at the latest man and wife, and every
conceivable relation of "parties" that can possibly exist
between the sex, will be soberly and quietly returning to
Paris. That is the sort of "out" the Parisians like, If,
be it known, Paris is from town now, it is rich, fashionable,
and foreien Paris--a class that has learned to travel since
the completion of railways, and who now go further away
from the capital than their provincial chateaux.—Fart's
correspondent of the Morning Post.
